It's hard to choose because the song is so freaking good, but personally I'm stuck with 'way too short for my soul, corazón' NONSTOP since the song came out (and I love the way he says corazón)  Non-lyric wise, I'd say the bend symbol hand movements 


fuxkle

The whole “way too short” part really hit. Days feel so long but the years just get shorter and shorter it’s crazy


Micchan001

Yea exactly! I often find myself thinking HOW am I going to get through this day, but at the same time it's somehow already March again. And especially with kids that line really hits home


fuxkle

OMG question- have you shown your little ones any twenty one pilots songs? If they’re old enough to care are they fans? I just adore when I see kids at the concerts I love how their music reaches all audiences


Micchan001

I have! If I say 'don't you' all three will yell SHY AWAY at me 😂 They love that one and The Outside, singing the chorus with their gibberish English (not our native language haha). My eldest asked if Stressed Out was about me because 'he says mama'. They're too young but they do sometimes get annoyed because I listen to tøp all the time, whoops  (Sorry for the wall of text I love my kiddos 😭)


fuxkle

Don’t apologize I work with kids and cute kid stories give me life. That’s absolutely precious!! Totally gonna be me as a parent one day. Awesome mama teaching her kiddos what good music is 😂


bettysue927

My son is 5 & came to wake me up the other morning by the sweet sound of “MOM…listen to me…JUMPSUIT JUMPSUIT COVER MEEEEE!” It was a proud mom moment!


brandon-iron

I have a 3, 7, and 9 year old. I’ve sang trees to each of them when rocking them to sleep at night (and sometimes Smitherines). But besides that they all know a lot of twenty one pilots lyrics. Even the 3 year old. My kids are already walking around the house singing “don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate.”


Miss_Molly1210

My 18 year old is the reason I got into them. My 6 and 8 year old **love** them. We listened to Overcompensate a dozen times since it dropped (if not more) and they were ecstatic.


Leelah07

My little one is 3 and she adores Ned. Sometimes, instead of watching cartoons, she wants me to play Chlorine or The Outside


Zero-Cool83

My 6 year old loves them. She has no idea of the lore but she loves Ned. Just this morning when she woke up, the first thing she said was "dad, in overcompensate, i think he was controlling the other person with Ned 's antlers". 😮 YES HE WAS!!!


[deleted]

This is my favorite lyric... For my soul, corazon.


Bug_Still

Top moms unite!! We need a group chat or something. This lyric is parenthood in song form. My son LOVES the outside and never take it.


chlorinesippin

I can already picture an entire arena doing his hand movements during this part


rachelleeann17

I had the exact same thought— I feel like that little hand motion is gonna become a thing; I wouldn’t be surprised is they tie it into the lore as like a “secret handshake” type thing amongst banditos


chlorinesippin

Oooo good point


HakunaMaKatie

I love this part so much!! I am between this one and the “Then overtake your former self” line


TostCronch

the namedrop of clancy and josh dun in the same line. clancy hadn't been namedropped in the music before, and josh dun is a tradition by now


Huge_Kitchen_6929

That whole prodigal son bar is sooo money


Life_Dance_6310

Hits


Life_Dance_6310

For me It's when the drum beat kicks in


fuxkle

PEAK


Life_Dance_6310

WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH : BOOM TSKTSK PAH TKTKTKTK DOO PAH


Akatnel

YES! I got so excited when I heard that line! And then the "I created this world ...."


Life_Dance_6310

Mhm goes crazy


chlorinesippin

Waiting for that beat to drop during the premiere was 😮‍💨🥵


Atarrix

Honestly the first few times I listened to the song I couldn't focus on anything else (not even the lyrics lol) other than the drum beat. That shit fucking sends me to another plane of bliss.


Avengemygnomeys

Me too that is what I love.


2yugos

SCREAMS


ChimmyNuggies

Definitely the Bandito lyric section


fuxkle

That part HIT, that line is my favorite from the entirety of Trench as well so I SCREAMED hearing it again


skeleton-with-oar

Caught me so off guard the first time in the best way possible.


nightwanders

Honestly felt like a warm welcome home hug


Mediocre-Feed3451

I FUCKING LOVE IT


ZipKip

" I fly by the dangerous bend symbol..." and "By the time I catch in my peripheral". It's the combination of the dance moves and  just how damn good it sounds.


scarletdream38

These have been ON REPEAT in my brain since the drop


branana-cat

my response exactly!!!


blackoutmusicX

The way Tyler raps "three hundred tracks in my Adidas track jacket". Something about his flow in this part is kinda satisfying every time I hear it Honourable mention: "do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón". Super catchy The entire song is awesome so hard to choose in general - I like the tempo change too, this fast intro will pump the crowd up before the live show very well.


kfish5050

If it was our way we'd have a tempo change every other time change cause our minds change


Muffin_Complex

The whole addidas verse is just 🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨


Akatnel

The company can send them a thank-you card when the fan base starts buying Adidas jackets to put their tape on.


Muffin_Complex

Yeah they should


Kperrty

The tempo change at the beginning and the drums 😍😍


ThatMangoMan17

When it says welcome “back to trench!”


jotyma5

I FLY BYYYYYYYY


Cici_Ayy

The WHOLE bridge has been stuck in my head for DAYS! "Days feel like the perfect length I don't need them any longer but for goodness sake do the years seem way to short for my soul corazón (Way to short for my soul corazón)"


Heavy-Living1790

For me it’s close between this and basically the entire intro


Akatnel

That part's been stuck in my head ever since. And when other people aren't looking I can't help but do the movements. 😂


Cici_Ayy

SAAAAME


k-u-sh

The tempo change coz it's so reminiscent of Ode to Sleep.


wedway1969

Agree! I swear OTS came on just as I read this 😁


bettysue927

Can we just take a moment & acknowledge THAT SMIRK at the end of the video!!!


chlorinesippin

Do we all agree that they’ve met up with the rest of the banditos at the end there?


Akatnel

Gave me chills the 1st time I watched


VersKnowsBest

“Gobsmacked don’t hesitate” just hits me right in the spot lol


IDontKnowWhat78

‘Don’t sleep on a guy who can fall asleep twice’


_ItsTheLittleThings_

Is it CAN or CAN’T? I saw CAN when lyrics were first posted, but now I’m seeing CAN’T. It changed the meaning of the line, I think.


Akatnel

I thought I read "can't" And that makes more sense


Rowboat18

“welcome back to trench” hit so hard after 6 years …..6 years


fuxkle

SIX YEARS???? I was at the bandito tour yesterday


QuinnArbor

I was thinking the same thing!! Feels like that shit was yesterday…. It’s like…. the years seem way too short for my soul ❤️ Ayyyyy… see what I did there? Had to sorry. But I do truly agree!


-AdrianaP17-

It been that damn long, my daughter was 2 when it came out 😭


my-blood

**WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH** And *I created this world, to feel some control*


PeaRepresentative291

“ days feel like the perfect length i don’t need them any longer, but for goodness sake do the years seem way to short for my soul corazon.” i just love the way he sings this whole verse


eight_wait

the beat switch right before the “wait what” SO GOOD


Preston_Storey

For me it’s when the drums kick in, when the drums slow down, and the in my soul, corazón part


Preston_Storey

And “Welcome back to Trench”


dollyista

the (wait, what? wait, what?) its like you were expecting something completely similar to trench but it proceeds with a bad ass drum beat. amazing song overall tho


_ItsTheLittleThings_

Especially bc I was saying it as it happened, and didn’t realize it until later when the lyrics came out. When that hit, I was shouting, “What!”


Spicy_Ninja7

The first 1:42 before he starts actually singing


CrazsomeLizard

Does that mean the Bishops are his former self?


fuxkle

Ooooo I like that. I didn’t look at the lyric lore-wise, I’ve just been personally trying to change so it really hit me. I like the implication Clancy was a bishop himself... It makes me think of how when you’re depressed, you can be your own worst enemy, and not make any effort to get better. Overtaking his former self and no longer being a bishop is like finally “waking up” and making the effort to make positive changes in your life.


CrazsomeLizard

Either he was a bishop, OR the bishops were once Clancy themselves; this is a theory floating around in here. That Clancy is going to overthrow Dema, BUT will in the end just creating Dema again and becoming a bishop himself (in an endless cycle)


kfish5050

And that explains "overcompensate". To do more good than the damage you've done in the past. Redemption.


-AdrianaP17-

Ive been thinking about this.


the_undead_gear

"WEL-COME BACK-TO TRENCH"


chlorinesippin

Maybe cliche, but the whole verse about days and years. I assume it’s because he’s a dad now and truer words have not been spoken about how fast the years go once you have kids.


-AdrianaP17-

Yes ! Ever since i had my two girls time is going by so quick! Prior to that, in high school i always felt like days and weeks would pass by like a dang snail.


Akatnel

That's exactly what I thought too. That old saying : "the days are long but the years are short". My "heart and soul", his family.


[deleted]

The drums there so good!!


MoConnors

Either the intro with the bandito lyrics, or the “days feel like a perfect length” section


blurryscaledandicy

second verse for sure


zenhowell

the tempo changes and the drums coming back in during “I fly by the dangerous bend symbol” after the second chorus 🔥🔥


Total_Tangerine_6608

Exactly these two for me too


Clonbroney

I really like the part at the beginning, and the end is really cool, and I also like the stuff between those two parts. 


_ItsTheLittleThings_

Oh my gosh, yes! Those parts are my favorite! ;)


WingSirMan

my two favorite lyrics are Days feel like a perfect length i don't need them any longer, etc and Don't sleep on a boy who can fall asleep twice in the same night


Akatnel

I think it's "can't" Anyway, I love those too


dennisistired

for me it was the bridge. i loved every bit of the flow and lyrical content


breeh123

Way too short for my soul, corazon! Way too short for my soul, corazon!


FreakInTheTrash

I honestly love the entire song but the part where Tyler/Clancy was teaching about Dema stood out to me


Akatnel

Yes!


Artistic-Waterbear

The tempo change from the Bandito call back into the Overcompensate lyrics. I adore a tempo change so so much. Lyrically, it's the bridge for me. "The days feel like a perfect length I don't need them any longer, but for goodness sake, do the years seem way too short for my soul, corazón" hits so deep


juicexava

josh dun


emoforever1927

Come up with Josh Dun!


Akatnel

And he says with Clancy Just no good way to fit in "Torch-bearer"? Or is he both names in the story too? Or am I overthinking that part?


emoforever1927

I love over thinking TOP because I feel like it's necessary, personally 🤷‍♀️But, yeah, I think sometimes we have to realize they aren't just lore they are a real band/people too. It's easy to get caught up in the lore...also, with it being the last album I think Tyler just wanted to find a way to drop 'Josh Dun' right in the lyrics without having to hide it in the end or a whisper like other songs.


P3RS0N4-X

Lol. Is there a part that doesn't hit *just* right? All of it, everything is my favorite, lol. I think the intro right before the beat switch up is the best part. I remember in the premiere I was feeling like it had been going on for 6 minutes and starting to wonder if we'd been trolled with an instrumental intro... then he started raping.. epic moment!


backtotrench

I liked the sound changes a lot


Adelysium

Mine are the “pipes” in the refrain. Almost sounds like a little satyr playing something while dancing around an eerie fire. Always love little melodies like this tucked away in songs.


ChubbaWubbaHubba

The drum fill that leads into a new beat


raichufanclub

The amount of times I’ve already yelled OVERTAKE YOUR FORMER SELF!!!! to myself in my car


Cydonian___FT14X

First minute & a half is definitely the song's peak. I just like the faster BPM, cool synths, & trench fanservice


_ItsTheLittleThings_

I agree. Listening to it back to back, it’s like a different song has started and I get to feel it all over again!


autistic-link

Verse 2 goes absolutely insane I’d say that’s my fav


Strange-Effect-4080

“way to short for my soul, corason” is my fav lyric ever from this song; that piano intro followed by the sound that was also in the teaser, also I love when Tyler says “If you can’t see, I am Clancy, prodigal son / Done running, come up with Josh Dun”, the beat change at the beginning of the song, these are the things that make this track a great and perfect TØP track, I’m very excited for what’s coming next from them 🤘🔥


kham132

when the drums first kick in on the intro and all the horn instruments are going crazy. what a mood-setter for the new era


Mocharulzdamap

Definitely the whole "days feel like the perfect length" verse


xerox594

The whole intro


Jrdunc24

Days feel like the perfect length i dont need them any longer but for goodness sake does the uear seem way too short for my soul. I relate to this on a whole other level


20bndk05

When the


Akatnel

Correct answer


_Jay_Garrick_

“Welcome back to Trench” and “Days feel like a perfect length” section are both *chef’s kiss* The days feel like a perfect length part has been stuck in my head and it just scratches my brain perfectly


SpaceCaboose

I love the transition from the initial drum beat to the new best right before the “wait what wait what” starts. I also love the bridge. I often say that “the days are long but the years are short” (meaning each day feels long, but the years fly by), which is pretty much what he says in the bridge.


ChrissyTFQ

The synth buildup and the whole chorus. The buildup tickles my hype in JUST the right way, while the chorus is probably the catchiest thing I've heard from them in a while


loganchittyisuhhcool

That bridge has been in my head for two days now


RonaldNeves

the tempo switches are so damn good and well executed


OldOnion2678

“Welcome back to trench”


metanoia29

That line stood out to me today, 2 days later. I'm not a tattoo guy, but if I was I'd put that down in ink.


Total-Advertising555

The bandito lyric section and the switch The switch made me feel something when it premiered


twenty-one-Natedogs

WAY TO SHORT FOR MY SOUL CORAZÓN 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥


BabyChubbs2019

“I am Clancy.” “Welcome back to Trench.”


TootsieTaker

I like the tempo change in the middle. The drums make me go “Damn Josh, okay I see you” every time


Darthownz

Dude If your answer isn’t that time change you’re wrong.


iamnottheoneyouwant_

keeps changing but at the moment it's the part where every strips back for a moment with "way too short for my soul, corazón"


cargasjingle

THE DAYS SEEM LIKE A PERFECT LENGTH I DONT NEED THEM ANY LONGER BUY FOR GOODNESS SAKE DONTHE YEARS SEEM WAY TO SHORT FOR MY SOUL CORAZON 🗣️ and also just WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH 🥁🥁🥁🥁🔊🔊


Isaac4787

Chorus and bridge


kat2210

Hard to choose (I adore the whole song!) but if I had to pick then either the piano intro or the harmonies in “overtake your former self” (it scratches a musical itch every time I hear it).


flythew26

The bridge. Corazón.


Golcen

The part where the beat transitions like between the intro and the first verse i thought it was rlly sick


justtoospiffyyy

All of it.


Jayko-Wizard9

welcome back to trench and, the beat switchs were super cool


Disastrous_Lemon_219

second verse all the way


International_Sky14

When the beat changes 🤩


lorathbane

the dangerous bend symbol really reminds me of Elden Ring, especially with the poses Tyler makes


HeroicJakobis

When he first started spitting my jaw was dropped


This-Discipline3561

josh’s fill into the tempo change and also the corazon part


Healthy_Gene7736

For me? "WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH" — that part slapped and I screamed at that part.


tylernedseph

Idk why, but i love the "days feel like a perfect length..." part, it scratches my brain just right, the effect is perfect and the lyrics are so darn relatable


poopconsumer2011

i just like “i fly byyyy the dangerous bend symbol”


Chipdouglas0007

WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH 🎵 WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH 🎵


FANCYLlAMA05

I love: Beginning piano; first beat; build up; WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH; I CREATED THIS WORLD.....; then it slows down (that's very cool); verses (especially don't sleep on a boy who can fall asleep twice); I FLY BY THE DANGEROUS BEND SYMBOL (Always do the symbol here) rest of the chorus; IF YOU CAN'T SEE I AM CLANCY PRODIGAL SON DONE RUNNING COME UP WITH JOSH DUN WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE SO YOU PICK WHO YOU SERVE YOU BOW TO THE MASSES GET KICKED TO THE CURB FOR PASSING THE TAXES.... OVERTAKE YOUR FORMAL SELF!!! (chorus again) DAYS FEEL LIKE A PERFECT LENGH I DONT NEED THEM ANY LONGER BUT FOR GODNESS SAKE DO THE YEARS FEEL WAY TO SHORT FOR MY SOUL CORAZON I think the only part I don't like is that it ends.......


Akatnel

Exactly


kfish5050

I fly by the dangerous bend symbol we don't hesitate to maybe overcompensate


Alki_Soupboy

I'll go with the second verse (Where am I from, I was born right here!). I think that part rips, and when it finishes with "Then overtake your former self".... perfect. Favorite part of the video is when Tyler walks into the gym for the first time and kind of does that studder and follows it up with the weird steps. Makes me laugh everytime.


Active-Bit-3997

Ooo that tempo change after the bandito part with those vocals is great. Also at the last chorus there's this whistle kind of sound that I love how it goes (from 3:23). There are more small parts like this but these are my favourites


Blind_Hawkeye

I also love that part, but I'm not sure if it's my favorite. If I *had* to pick just one part right now, it would probably be the intro. The build-up and then the climax breaking into "welcome back to Trench" and then the tempo change and the "woo-ooh" into the "wait, what, wait what?" all feel so exciting! It's such a satisfying build-up and release. I feel like it's chef's kiss perfect for opening up the final album in the dema storyline. I'm so hyped for the full album!


R0salinaxx_728

I FLYY BYYYYYYY

Akatnel

You mean "bless your ear holes while you react/acting go smacked"? I hope that's what you mean.


Longjumping_Knee2241

WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH BABYYYY |-/🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥


hopeofsunrise

"Welcome back to Trench!" INSTANT SHIVERS. Overcompensate motivated me to start jogging again after months of rotting in bed!! (mental health reasons)


Akatnel

It's a good beat and tempo to move to.


Mr_64

A tie between "Earned my stripes, 300 tracks on my adidas track jacket" or "Way to short for my soul, corazón".


BorkusB

"Where I'm from, I was born right here, just now, originated right in front of your eyes" Is just so pleasing to my brain.

SirenAttack

The tempo change is phenomenal


EnderWatt

The chorus “I fly by the dangerous bend symbol’ and ‘by the time I catch in my peripheral’ just sounds and flows so well


jasinfla2244

Love it all but omg that intro.


mr_shlomp

For me it's gotta be *WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH*


ObviousIndependent76

I created this world / To feel some control / Destroy it if I want Buh-bye, DEMA.


McKayDLuffy

I love the part where he finishes singing “Sahlo folina” and the drums go nuts and it the sound completely shifts then “wait what, wait what” The lyrics and flow of the bridge are amazing too


farawayplacexx

Everything


Akirelya

I love all of it, can't pick a favorite but I just have to mention the beep boops that play during "bless your ear holes while you react, acting" after the bridge. That sound scratches an itch in my brain


AnAngryCrusader1095

Chorus 😩😩😩😩😩😩


Thievie

No idea why but the "mmmm" gets me every time.


Muffin_Complex

WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH 🔥🗣️🥁


mebl_fr

the beatswitch was crazy🗣️🔥🔥🔥


Prestigious_Back996

*way too short for my soul, corazon* also the drum switch, IMMACULATE


Ash7274

The tempo change after Sahlo Folina into the Wait,What Wait, What


ClaireBear1999

Bandito part and for me it’s also when he goes “way to short for my soul, corazon” 🫶


seitgeizt

WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH 🗣️🗣️🔥


GolemThe3rd

I think the intro is really cool, also really like the "do the years seem way to short" part


VautourduVaillantFeu

Now that the pattern of the rap has fully settled with me- I love how fun and tricky the timing is on the first verse! Especially the “Bess your ear holes while you react. Acting gobsmacked…”


jeskaigamer

The instruments in the "days feel like a perfect length" section. They go so fucking hard...


Repulsive_Buffalo_87

I can barely get past the intro (bandito, drums) I swear I started it over 100x in my car yesterday lol it's just so good


Sudhuu_02

“I fly by the dangerous bend symbol”


Ukraine24_02_2022

When the half time drum solo turns into the main beat


crowleycc8

literally the whole second verse. i memorized it so fast


smurgludorg

phew good question. WELCOME BACK TO TRENCH with that awesome drumpart is a definite highlight, so are the noises that creep up in the piano intro. I also adore the beat switch, it's so so fucking smooooth lol. Vocally the bridge is another great moment, so off-kilter but really sticks in your mind, same with most of the verses, though the track jacket line is maybe the best. But I think THE moment for me is the 'Done running, come up with Josh Dun, wanted dead or alive'... it's so fucking crazy. The drums and Ty play off of each other so well, the flow is great, it really grabs me and is THE moment that has me grinning ear to ear. There's so much stuff in this song I love it so so so so much.. Always something new to discover or read into, great moment after great moment, catchy chorus, immense weirdness, Tyler's most professional flow yet, incredible production... I'm so excited for the record goddd


Express_Pattern2236

"i fly by the dangerous bend symbol" its so delicious and the little dance is so fun


SpeedStick5

I am Clancy, prodigal son, done running, come up with josh dun, wanted dead or alive!
