Discover the story of the song > Isle Of Flightless Birds – Twenty One Pilots

The song is about a person (referred to as 'he') who feels trapped and doesn't fit in with the rest of society. He feels like he is being controlled by demons and angels who manipulate his emotions to please themselves. He talks about how people try to find their worth in meaningless things, like picking songs to sing that no one cares about, and how this can lead to suicidal thoughts. He encourages listeners to think for themselves and pick their battles, and promises that this is his own struggle.
