[wild wing]

frfr

[foggy latch]

Neon Gravestones hits a bit harder to me

[jolly locust]

[thick rock]

LEGEND SWEEP BECAUSE ITS ABOUT A LOSS

LOSSES ARE HARD

[woeful leaf]

this one does hurr

Hurt

[loud root]

WHY IS THIS LIKE THE HARDEST ONE

[regal girder]

legend is about his grandfather, i have a passed grand father, im picking legend.

[jolly locust]

I always get goosebumps while listening to neon gravestones

[lilac shuttle]

legend has such sweet lyrics but i don't really like the way it sounds

[copper siren]

why must we pit two queens against each other

[frail fable]

legend my beloved im sorry

[scenic bobcat]

Pain

[upper night]

neon gravestone

[modest otter]

[odd imp]

Definitely neon gravestones

[limpid zealot]

ok this is wildly hard for some reason

[foggy latch]

Sameee

[fiery cosmos]

OH NO I LOVE BOTH.
honestly i adore neon gravestones but i think i genuinely have to go legend here. legend means a lot to me

[jade vigil]

bones

[limpid zealot]

Legend will lose but I'll vote for it to make it slightly closer

[weary carbon]

you say while betting in the “pitting queens against each other” tournament

[shy olive]

oof

[copper siren]

both are so valuable

[wary agate]

oh i hate you so much why do you have to make me pick between these 2 😭

[chrome ferry]

same

[azure siren]

LEGEND MY BELOVED

[elder summit]

Neon gravestones

[lilac shuttle]

neon gravestones has meaningful lyrics too and i like the instrumental more

[scarlet burrow]

YOU CANT PUT THESE TWO AGAINST EACH OTHER ITS NOT FAIR

[azure siren]

YOUR A LEGEND IN MY OWN EEEEEEYEES

[loud root]

NO JOKE I JUST PICKED WHATEVER ONE THE WHEEL LANDED IN🥹

[plucky slate]

🪦

[willow quartz]

YOU CANT MAKE ME CHOOSE THESE THATS JUST NOT FAIR BRUH

[torn stratus]

Please Neon Gravestones I BEG

[woeful leaf]

FAIR I DONT BLAME U

[loud root]

LMAO

[wicked karma]

this is a funny pair given that neon gravestones' last couple lines sets up the premise to legend

[copper siren]

im voting legend

[median shoal]

It fucking hard

💔💔

[toxic hinge]

NEON GRAVESTONES

[pure drift]

GRRRRR ARFARF NEO GRAVESTONES 🛐🛐🛐🛐

[gloomy mirage]

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[toxic hinge]

NEON GRAVESTONES

[wary agate]

i like neon gravestones and i do like the "vibe" (i cant think of a better word) of NG but I find Legend easier (and more fun) to just vibe with

[torn stratus]

I love its message and I’d really love it if one of the best songs in the album isn’t voted off Round 1 AGAIN 💀

[willow quartz]

Neon gravestones is arguably about loss as well

[tepid bane]

If anyone votes Legend for any reason that isn't personal, they're an opp.

[scarlet burrow]

i think legend will probably win for that reason. ng is unique, less "groovy" and more dark

[thick rock]

Well isn’t it about if he is a loss

[onyx bolt]

I don't like this

[scarlet burrow]

not that I don't like it, but i thi k majority will find kegend more pleasing to listen to

[wary agate]

yeah ng has that sort of dark more solemn vibe which I do like

[carmine hollow]

i love the messaging in neon gravestones but legend hits way too close to home

[copper siren]

honestly the first few times i listened to neon gravestones i didnt rlly like it 🤷‍♂️ it had to grow on me

[fiery cosmos]

legend means so much to me i just have to vote for it 😭

[tepid bane]

It's calling out on famous people like Chester Bennington being "celebrated" for living instead of mourning.

[copper siren]

legend is an immediate jam, good song even though its a little bittersweet

[carmine hollow]

if it was the hype then i'd fs pick neon gravestones

[thick rock]

Ohhhh

[carmine hollow]

but legend is my oldies of trench

[thick rock]

Well that makes this harder

[marble otter]

Trench song battles have been super easy so far

[scarlet burrow]

i do like it too, i just think majority of ppl will like legend better bc it's groovier, more of s stable best

[ancient root]

Neon gravesweep

[wary agate]

Personally I love the messaging in both

[quiet flame]

Neon gravestone sad

[scarlet burrow]

if im not mistaken, ng is either in 3/4 or 5/4 time (can't remember)

[quiet flame]

Ned

[willow quartz]

Neon gravestones is their most important song message wise IMO

[carmine hollow]

no i like it better cause it's personal not bc it's "groovier" u should not be listening to top music for the grooviness hot take

[echo pond]

neon gravestones for sure

[unkempt vapor]

Interesting how all of these have been sweeps so far

[wary agate]

When I'm not depressed or if I'm doing something while listening I mainly listen for the "grooviness"

[valid jetty]

I love Legend but Neon Gravestones is just objectively the better song, which is really difficult to say for most matchups for this album

[woeful leaf]

I listen to top songs for the lyrics and the sound personally, i LOVE both songs equally but i have more memories with legend

[proper obsidian]

These are both extremely good for completely different reasons

[copper siren]

id be curious what makes it "objectively" better

[wary agate]

But I do listen to the less "groovy" music for the messaging as well

[woeful leaf]

Bandito is no1 on trench for me though it gives me extreme deja vu

[flint sun]

Legend hits hard as someone who had a grandparent that slowly lost memory and sense before they died

[marble otter]

Levitate, Chlorine, My Blood, and Morph song battles will hurt

[woeful leaf]

yeah

[valid jetty]

The message, the vibe, the lyricism, the simplicity of the instrumental

[wary agate]

Bandito is just 👌

[twin moth]

Legend is more memorable for me

[wary agate]

love it

[woeful leaf]

my blood vs morph 💔💔 ill be dead

[valid jetty]

I will concede that Legend is more fun to listen to and I’ll say that both have made me cry more times than I would like to admit

[gritty oxide]

Did you guys really have to do Legend like this 💔

[wary agate]

I love how Tyler says "classic" like im stealing that for if I wanna call someone old

[valid jetty]

Also Legend was in a movie soundtrack (Shazam!) and hearing it every time I watch that movie turns me into this image

[wary agate]

wait it is?

[carmine hollow]

bro what

[wary agate]

where

[copper siren]

legend has a really well done and arguably simple uke progression

[broken maple]

NEON SWEEPSTONES

[wary agate]

I think I've seen Shazam before (not by choice)

never heard it

[gritty oxide]

Yeah and a TOP song is also in a power rangers movie lmao

[quasi quest]

Legend

[surreal umbra]

I cant vote

[valid jetty]

I don’t remember the timestamp but it was in a shot where it’s the outside of the high school before they cut to inside or some similar shit

[carmine hollow]

internet issue

[surreal umbra]

I literally can’t

[valid jetty]

What where w

[surreal umbra]

No likr

I can’t choose

Because

They’re both so special

[valid jetty]

Bro what song 😭

[unique tendon]

Same

[carmine hollow]

thats all subjective dawg

[broken maple]

in 2019 i went on a flight to europe and the screens they have on the seats had albums and they had trench and i just listened to trench for the entire flight. however i VIVIDLY remember listening to neon gravestones on the plane more than any other track it js hit different

[unique tendon]

Legend was my favorite top song

[grim stirrup]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 5!

[gritty oxide]

We dont believe whats on TV

[unique tendon]

For a while

[valid jetty]

Nuh uh, my opinion is the one true opinion /j

[still slate]

This is gonna be my only win(maybe)

[unique tendon]

But neon is just too good

[humble nova]

Man i love legend but neon gravestones hits too hard

[carmine hollow]

average top mindset half the time and it isn't funny

[humble nova]

Neon gravestones is that song that makes you wanna pay attention to the lyrics

[valid jetty]

I make joke I sorry

[wary agate]

Yeah I'd do that too XD

[surreal umbra]

Legend got me through 2 of my closest loved ones dying

[carmine hollow]

no like ik its a joke but there are genuine top fans who think that way and it sucks 😭

[surreal umbra]

But neon gravestones is neon gravestones

[unique tendon]

Ye

[surreal umbra]

So I can’t pick

[wary agate]

I went on a flight a while before i got into tøp and just downloaded a ton of podcasts about Pine Gap (US spy base in Alice Springs, Aus)

[unique tendon]

What if instead they're neon mausoleums

[valid jetty]

Same with literally any fucking fandom though

[broken mica]

NEON GRAVESTONES #1 TØP SONG EVER

[wary agate]

It was a small plane on a 3 hour flight they didn't have any screens, I used my phone

[surreal umbra]

Oh nah 🤯

[outer grail]

gng RIG THE VOTES VOTE NEON GRAVESTONES

[scarlet burrow]

no i don't, silly goose /lh

[carmine hollow]

[unique tendon]

No

[outer grail]

[broken mica]

https://tenor.com/view/vote-neon-gravestones-twenty-one-pilots-gif-8720681127824983926

[outer grail]

the song sucks anyway

[lapis igloo]

Legend is so sweet but Neon Gravestones has to win here

[scarlet burrow]

i also like legend more bc is more personal too

[broken maple]

u were quick w this wtf

[unique tendon]

Prob made it in advancr

Or from another year

[scarlet burrow]

but tbf, ng is super personal to me too

[pearl wolf]

neon gravestones mention lfg (i feel like i have been shot in the chest)

[scarlet burrow]

so it rlly is a tough choice for me

[tepid narwhal]

NEON GRAVESWEEP

[ionic crown]

NEON SWEEPSTONES

[broken mica]

https://tenor.com/view/vote-neon-gravestones-twenty-one-pilots-gif-8720681127824983926

Wait

https://tenor.com/view/twenty-one-pilots-gif-17881731292457070139

[broken maple]

”i’ll mourn for a kid, but won’t cry for a king”

https://tenor.com/ZSnlSKWMsK.gif

[copper siren]

imo i think neon gravstones is like, a slightly better like eminem song; i like that rap is used to get out wordy messages but i think theres nothing too special in there for me to overly like it. it has a very unique message that hasnt been directly said before and thats about its only redeeming quality for me

[fast mauve]

Neon Gravestones is basically a Manifesto on staying alive

[near copper]

Neon Gravestones, but i really enjoy both tbh

both are very meaningful

[rancid mist]

neon gravestones

[broken mica]

Neon gravestones is my favorite tøp song

[rancid mist]

TOO MEANINGFUL

[humble nova]

Neon gravestones excels at what its meant to be

[copper siren]

i like how legend is a very sweet introspective song about seeing your elderly loved ones at the end of life, that song definitely feels like a celebration of life and being thankful for the good times and memories

and its a bop

[fast mauve]

Also that line "I wish she knew you!" on Legend breaks my heart everytime

[copper siren]

so many great parts in legend

[sturdy sparrow]

Rip legend

[copper siren]

song full of love

[sturdy sparrow]

I pray legend wins

[onyx bolt]

Spotify streams

[hearty sail]

i love legend, but like, neon gravestones is probably their best song lyrically and an easy top 3 tøp song for me

[humble haven]

Another easy vote

[unreal current]

Legend

[fast mauve]

tbh I try not to listen much into the lyrics of Legend because there are two Elders I lost and I miss that I'd be a crying mess every day

[humble nova]

Atleast its a happy song

[copper siren]

the melody in legend is also very intuitive, it does what every good song does and discovers a tune that feels like you already know it but its actually new

[coral marsh]

NEON GRAVESTONES🙏

[copper siren]

and of course that last verse...

[fast mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-hamster-sadhamster-hammy-hampter-popcat-gif-6561088576429774594

[copper siren]

itd be great if legend won

[dark swan]

neon gravesweep

[stiff notch]

evil choice

but i have to go w neon gravestones

[marble bay]

This one made me actively recoil and gasp in terror

I might have to sit this one out chat

[copper siren]

valid

[river surge]

the neon on my grave till i stones

[molten drum]

the ratio is gonna be insane

just looking at the reactions legend is done for

[coral vault]

why does it have to be the two songs that I hope win against each other?

[tight raven]

i dont like neon gravestones at all cus its not my vibe but.... neon gravestones easy

[coral vault]

also why do all of the ones that are only winning bc they're just 'popular' winning all of the time?
like for all of trench all of the ones that should have won lost.

[woven folio]

neon gravesweeep

[modest otter]

neon gravesweeeep

[ruby sinew]

dang another setup

[proper ingot]

NEON GRAVESWEEP

[frank axle]

legend!!?

nooo

neon gravestones

[raw crow]

i'm sorry legend and i'm sorry titi but neon gravestones is better 🫩

[paper olive]

last lyrics of neon gravestones are the best/nicest lyrics I had ever heard.

[fathom marsh]

LEGEND

LEGEND DEFENDER TILL I DIE

(we’re gonna lose so hard omd)

[wintry marten]

i love legend, but i love neon gravestones more

[ruby robin]

has to be neon

[cedar ice]

Same

[sly yacht]

Dang these songs feel so similar in theme to me but yet so different too

I will forever stan legend the most tho

[unborn hare]

they are both pretty different

i pick neon

[rocky niche]

NOO

DUDE COME ON

But these songs go together so well I don’t wanna chose a favorite 😭

[regal sail]

This one is foul

[rocky niche]

“Find your grandparents or someone of age, and pay some respects for the path that they paved. To life they were dedicated, now THAT should be celebrated” leading straight into Legend would have been peak album order

[regal sail]

You can’t pit dementia and suicide together mods that’s fucked up 😭😭

[rocky niche]

Also come on “I look forward to having a lunch with you again” might just be in my top 5 twenty one pilots lines of all time

And the freaking implications of “you were here when I wrote this” is just so sad

[regal sail]

Literally makes me sob any time I hear that part

[rocky niche]

I have to go with Legend here… I know it’s going to lose but I’ve gotta try

[regal sail]

Like do I go for neon gravestones bc I relate to the message or do I go for legend bc I relate to the message

“I’m sorry I did not visit, I did not know how to take when your eyes did not know me like I know you” is GUT wrenchingly relatable

Fuck it going for legend

[potent heart]

I know legend wont win but I really want it to

[rocky niche]

Too relatable for me 😔✊

Legend hits me really, REALLY hard

And neon gravestones is magnificent

This is an evil matchup

[potent heart]

looking at the chat Legend might have a chance

A lot of people really connect to it

[balmy plover]

Neon Gravestones sweep

[pliant hollow]

🪦🪦🪦

[regal sail]

I feel like legend is one of those songs where if you relate then you adore it, but if you don’t relate as much it’s just sort of meh

[sand sparrow]

neon gravestones is the 2nd best song on trench idgaf

[brittle pivot]

legend is way more of a bop im sorry

neon gravestones is just sad

i mean legend is too but in a fun way

[lethal flame]

I swear to god if neon gravestone won iduno what the healy is wrong. Smithereens, the hype, and now legend?

Im an opp

[vivid hornet]

Promise me this, if I lose you myself, you wont mourn a day, and you’ll move on to someone else.

Its so simple but hits SO HARD EVERY SINGLE TIME 😭

[marble bay]

@plucky spire

[main pelican]

Guh I love legend

but I like neon gravestones more

this is such a fucking scam

why are you making me pick between my beloved

[regal abyss]

this is actually cruel

😭😭

[robust knoll]

Rip legend

Neon gravestones is probably twenty one pilots’ best lyricism period.

[ionic sky]

Legend the best song on trench

[plucky spire]

worse song battle so far

how tf am i supposed to pick

[river sparrow]

Neon gravestones sweep

Legend is literally the worst song on Trench

[winter bridge]

Whoever put this pole together... Death is seeking you at the bingo table.

[wanton bough]

yeah

[plucky spire]

i pressed the space between the buttons

neon gravestones got my vote but i literally cannot pick which

[winter bridge]

Honestly valid, let fate decide.

If neon gravestones wins I believe it will win the whole battle.

[warm jewel]

neon gravestones is lowkey one of my favourite songs theyve ever put out

[wanton bough]

i like polorize

i cannot type with a cat on my keyboard

[gritty sand]

Neon Gravestones has such a powerful message too I feel like it’d be criminal not to pick it haha

[tribal badger]

i love legend, but neon gravestones specifically got me through some rough times

[unkempt vapor]

Neon Gravestones is the song on the album where I momentarily stop jamming out and just sit there and contemplate everything. It's amazing

[wooden wagon]

Some of the heaviest songs in their entire discography

[clear pulsar]

NEON GRAVESTONES BETTER WIN IT ALL OR IM FR CRASHING OUT

[coral linden]

legend is so sweet but this matchup is like

neon gravestones sweep

[rigid leaf]

ILL MOURN FOR A KID, BUT WONT CRY FOR A KING

[fervent thorn]

Me too, but I had to go with Neon Gravestones, but they're both amazing and well written

They both make me cry too 💔

[jovial field]

I have a neon gravestones tattoo, I've gotta go with it

[fervent thorn]

That's understandable

[proper ingot]

WHAT'S MY PROBLEM

[marble bay]

I’m so pressed I might deadass eenie meanie miney

[lost gull]

Legend sweep

[raw crow]

hurts that i'm voting against the song i dedicated to my aunt 😭

[modest otter]

its ok

[sage turret]

Given that I don’t even remember legend i have to say neon gravestones

[fervent thorn]

If you don't remember it, you could always go back and listen to it lol

[obtuse arrow]

legend is very forgettable unless like ur grandpa died its sweet but like cmon

neon gravestones is the most emotional song on trench

probably in thier whole discography if we take away redecorate and half of self titled

[odd imp]

Don’t forget about truce indigold

[drifting minnow]

• the cover of cancer

[odd imp]

Huh?

[drifting minnow]

have you not heard their cover of cancer from mcr?

[raw crow]

in this case, it's my aunt

[vapid tulip]

sry legend but im gonna pick neon gravestones

[bronze pollen]

I loveee legend so much

[modest otter]

neon gravesweep

[plucky spire]

in my case its my dad

[marble bay]

I was summoned 🙁

[plucky spire]

i ended up voting for neon tho cos i pressed inbetween the buttons and thats what i got

[plucky spire]

hi pookie

[marble bay]

Legend :D

[plucky spire]

i legit

every time i listen to ts i cry

[marble bay]

Should I eenie meanie miney

[plucky spire]

i wish i was exaggerating

[plucky spire]

yes

[marble bay]

It’s such a bop though ☹️

[plucky spire]

legend is a bop if u dont listen to the lyrics lmao

"i look forward to having a lunch with you again" what if i crashed out

huh

[marble bay]

Eenie meanie brought me to Legend

[plucky spire]

were on opposing sides it seems (no tf we arent)

[marble bay]

Ik exactly what Legend is about but my brain can’t help to interpret it more about old friends cos that’s just what applies to me more, whether they be dead or separated, yk

:D

[plucky spire]

so glad their music can be interpreted and personal like that amirite

[marble bay]

Arret when the last four lines of Legend

It’s a

Good day never know never knowww

[plucky spire]

you when awap

[marble bay]

Praise the Lord

[plucky spire]

pray up !!

im so glad i put you onto that song

it was my greatest life achievement

[marble bay]

You put me onto this whole community :D

[plucky spire]

oh yeah true

but specifically awap, thats what i care ab

[marble bay]

Why

You did this shit to me?

[plucky spire]

https://tenor.com/view/josh-dun-twenty-one-pilots-dog-smiling-gif-11307354384712197902

ur so very welcome

[marble bay]

Sends that one image

Yk the one

[plucky spire]

LMFAO

DO NOT

i have the mental image thats all i need

[marble bay]

Nah not here

If I was gonna I just would’ve

[orchid bane]

neon gravestones easy

[gleaming lava]

NG is beautiful and makes me sob but I gotta go with legend 1000%

[tender dock]

legend just know you’re always a legend in my eyes

[dense night]

hardest possible poll

but probably Legend just because Neon Gravestone makes me cringe a little

[unique plume]

Neon gravestones is my absolute favorite song and it has been since that album dropped that song has helped me through countless times 💔 but it's most likely maybe not gonna win

[quaint ruin]

i cant vote

[rough sparrow]

ALRIGHT 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[lethal flame]

YOURE A LEGEND IN MY OWN MIND

[crimson arch]

MY OPINION WILL NOT BE LENIENT 🔥

[quaint ruin]

I can’t vote!!!!

[brazen narwhal]

Was listening to legend when I saw this, tbh they're both great songs

[quaint ruin]

I wanna vote neon gravestones

[brazen narwhal]

Both on my liked songs

[somber tapir]

ima have to say legend

very special place in my heart

[fervent thorn]

All my grandparents died, so I relate to Legend

[fervent thorn]

Sameeee

[leaden crown]

Neon gravestones has a good message but I think legend is better musically

[fervent thorn]

I like the message in both songs

[modest otter]

neon gravesweep

[near geode]

LEGEND

[winter brook]

This is literally “sad vs. ✨sad✨”

[modest otter]

so neon gravestones is better

[marble bay]

You know

We really can’t say

[prime basin]

y'all are so lucky my phone was dead while the NatN v The Hype battle was happening

you are SOOOO lucky

[onyx bolt]

The Spotify streams

[gleaming lava]

yeah your vote would’ve won it all fr

[raw crow]

i'm scared to see what my blood goes against next because regardless it's losing

leave the city? it loses

chlorine? it loses

levitate? it loses

[modest otter]

oh thats crazy

i really didnt think there would be such a huge gap

[feral gale]

easy sweep

[wicked karma]

oh :/

[wary agate]

why is there an Australian flag reaction on the voting post lol

(i still added an ausflag reaction because.... well.... Australia)

[modest otter]

everyone reacts with the most random stuff

[wary agate]

anyway im supposed to have a shower but got the song vote ping

goodbye

[odd imp]

That’s a big sweep, today’s poll will definitely be close

[modest otter]

yep

[somber tapir]

sadly legend didn’t stand a chance

[azure siren]

YOU’RE A LEGEND IN MY OWN EEEEEYES 💔

[agile leaf]

oh sad

[leaden crown]

My streak of voting for the losing song is still strong

[prime basin]

I'd have chewed everyone out tho

cause ain't no way The Hype lost to NatN, it isn't even a close matchup and it lost. I hate you all and will never forgive you

[willow quartz]

Neon gravestones is their strongest song message wise IMO

[prime basin]

I would argue Redecorate is stronger

but it depends what you're going for. Neon is much more of a PSA and Redecorate is much more of a look at the emotions of it

[willow quartz]

Ah true , redecorate is so good as well

They both make me cry
