2025 Trench Song Battle #7

[high reef]

i saw gethsemane and thought this was csh at first 😭

[hard ivy]

underrated flaming

[strange knot]

lmao

[rose wyvern]

Definitely shy away and the outside

[fallow brook]

okay BUT 'we're driving towards the morning sun where all your blood is washed away and all you did will be undone' ---> 'know you were made holy, open up your eyes and see, the clouds above will hold you, the clouds above will sing' ----> 'your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides, it's time you pick your battles, and i promise you this is mine'

i mean i think pet cheetah into legend is pretty fucked up i suppose 😭

[cerulean hornet]

yes

[polar dragon]

okay but "i will carry all your names and i will carry all your shame" --> "i don't fall slow like we used to, i fall straight down" --> "its time to say goodbye to the earth and now my worthless life, cause everything i've ever maddeee diesss it's now it's in the grave" --> "I haven't had a drooooopp of life!!" --> all of taxi cab

[high reef]

no consecutive songs are as fucked up as when i had tøp on shuffle and the pantaloon came on straight after legend

[cerulean hornet]

Smithereens into Neon Gravestones

[naive cape]

You could fuck with me but the fourth, fifth and sixth songs on this album are a better back to back to back combination than the last three

[cerulean hornet]

is terrible

[thick isle]

i think that would be it for me tbh

that is so fucking evil what

😭

[high reef]

as soon as i saw this message neon gravestones came on

[naive cape]

I still think the order of songs is better on the album

[cerulean hornet]

LOL

[naive cape]

AAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA

[fallow brook]

i just love self titled too much im easy to please

[cerulean hornet]

Chlorine into Neon Gravestones would have been an incredible transition but they had to screw it up and put Smithereens there

[fallow brook]

football almost on bye bye

[fallow brook]

smithereens is fun idc

[cerulean hornet]

like at least put Smithereens pre-Legend or something

[polar dragon]

ur telling me with a straight face that those 3 songs from clancy is better then all of johnny boy ep

[naive cape]

Smithereens is my least favorite song on my favourite album

[cerulean hornet]

I love the song don't get me wrong, it's just placed awfully

[fallow brook]

OKAY FAIR

that was not supposed to be caps

soz

[thick isle]

us just talking about this 👹

[fallow brook]

i am very calm and collected

[sour beacon]

hi elibutbetter!!

[cerulean hornet]

and chill?

[naive cape]

No I mean, I think Self Titled puts (the majority of) those songs in a better order than the EP does, I think they have better placement on S/T

[polar dragon]

ohhhh

[high reef]

smithereens is fire

[sour beacon]

I AM SO INSANE ABOUT THAT WAHHHH

[naive cape]

It’s 10/10 instead of 11/10

Sorry chat

[polar dragon]

true BUT it doesn't have time to say goodbye

i cried

[high reef]

fair

[polar dragon]

i deadass cried

[thick isle]

its more like a 9/10 to my 11/10 imma be real

[fallow brook]

Yes and I NEVER look for conflict for the thrill

[polar dragon]

when josh cried during paladin i was crying during paladin. I was baby crying

[fallow brook]

Time to say goodbye is my fave song every about finding hope in struggle and I will happily die on that hill a thousand times over

[thick isle]

i rlly dont listen to smithereens as much as every other song on trench idk

[naive cape]

That does not make up for the EP’s lack of Isle and March To The Sea

[high reef]

i don’t like it when people are like “smithereens doesn’t sound like tyler” like they know his whole personality 😭

[polar dragon]

without that song josh would've never found the band

[naive cape]

Hmmmmmm…

[polar dragon]

without that song josh wouldn't even be here

[fallow brook]

Yes that too

[naive cape]

Why did he 🙁

[thick isle]

yeah i dont think it doesnt sound like him its just like, idk its the one song i sorta tune out when i listen to the album in full if that makes sense
i still like it tho lol

[primal night]

you stink

[polar dragon]

hes very shy and i guess singing like that with all of that sudden support was just overwhelming for him cus hes not used to that yknow

[naive cape]

@thick isle find the Dog smile Josh gif

[thick isle]

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

[polar dragon]

he was probably just overwhelmed and didn't know how to express how he was feeling

[quasi crown]

GOD DAMN THAT WAS SO GOOD
OFFICIAL VERSION WHEN

[polar dragon]

he was js overstimulated

[naive cape]

DEADASS BRO DEADASS

[thick isle]

BRO YESSSS

[hard ivy]

ur name is literally trash

[high siren]

LEAVE THE CITY LETS GO

[polar dragon]

get josh in the studio now pls take him out of his introverted hiding and get him in the stufio

[high siren]

no it’s garbage

[polar dragon]

i dont care if you have to bribe him

get him in there pls

[hard ivy]

nononono

[high siren]

YEASS

[thick isle]

josh singing on breach ???? maybe ???? (we would all lose it)

[hard ivy]

imma crash out

[polar dragon]

im praying drum show is

guys

[high siren]

Leave the city can’t lose against Levitate.

[polar dragon]

drim show didnt have a snippet with vocals

it js showed lurics

with instrumwntal

[naive cape]

I remember setlist non-believers wondering why Josh would make a song called Garbage like ok dude he made a song called Bounce Man HEllo

[naive cape]

I hope Drum Show is actually an instrumental

[wraith flax]

levitate no hesitation

[thick isle]

i mean it would be cool if josh at least had a part where he sung

[naive cape]

Honestly my prediction for Drum Show is that it’s gonna be a lore song and it’s Josh drawing attention away from Clancy’s battle with Nico or whatever

[polar dragon]

the lyrics were "i've been this way, i want to change" could this possibly a song abt josh dun and his anxiety👀

[thick isle]

maybe as a backing, preferably as the lead for a bit but i would take backing josh too

[thick isle]

HEH ,,

[polar dragon]

they showed lyrics tho js not vocals so this wouldn't make sense as its confirmed to have lyrics

[high reef]

my least favorite on each album:

npi: idk honestly
st: march to the sea
rab: be concerned
vessel: screen
blurryface: not today (i just never listen to it idk)
trench: my blood (i overplayed it)
sai: bounce man but i am NOT a bounce man hater it’s still fire
clancy: navigating

also i don’t “hate” any of these i just don’t like them as much as the others 😭

[naive cape]

Yeah but imagine a whole song of just Josh Drums on the Duns

[polar dragon]

i would watch that

[naive cape]

EXCUSE YOU

[thick isle]

honestly

[polar dragon]

with a smile on my facr

[cerulean hornet]

I headcanon that half of the song is a drum solo

[polar dragon]

i could watch josh olay for hours and i could listen to him talk about random shit all day

[high reef]

[polar dragon]

theres a podcast and hes on it once where he js talks about running for like 30 minutes in one episode

[naive cape]

Take March to the Sea and My Blood off that list right this instant

[thick isle]

im the type of person to be watching josh when i watch their live performances

👹

[naive cape]

AND NAVIGATINF WHAT THE HELL

[polar dragon]

like yes josh infodump to me abt running or your day or anything

hes the king of infodumping and i could listen to it for hours

all day

like yes tweet about how you and debby and glenn boxed in ur basement together

hes just so entertaining

[naive cape]

I wake up fine and dandy but then by the time my playlist plays Addict With A Pen my mood goes down down down down down to the floor and I feel my soul start leaving like an old man’s hair receding

[high reef]

my dad standing next to me at the clancy tour watching me clap and cheer when josh took his shirt off:

[polar dragon]

hes so entertaining dude

[high reef]

oh fuck this

why do gifs send instantly 😭

[polar dragon]

i could watch just him on the drums all day

[hardy oxide]

oh

so that’s not fair

[polar dragon]

and i would be entertained

[thick isle]

like honestly i know tyler talks a lot but whenever josh talks i go GO OFF KING

https://tenor.com/view/jaydrtysoul-josh-dun-joshua-dun-joshua-william-dun-twenty-one-pilots-gif-13456534555697812912

"like that" LMAO

OKAY BRO

[naive cape]

You mean the Duns

[polar dragon]

which is saying sometbing because its usually hard for me to find engaging content but i watched that whole episode of josh just talking about running and what got him into running to begin with and i was LOCKED into it for that whole 30 minutes

[thick isle]

josh drums on the duns

[naive cape]

Chat, we’ve done it

[steel oriole]

levitate sweep

[polar dragon]

funfact he originally got into running because he felt so anxious he felt like he was dying so he got up and just started running and he realized it was acrually a good coping mechanism for him and that whole experiance changed his life

and now he like

runs

professinally kinda

[desert steeple]

[raw mason]

Gotta go ltc for this

[icy monolith]

[fathom shore]

they were my fav for a long time like since I was 10, powfu and tøp are jus right ahead of em nowadays

[signal shuttle]

meh i listened to two powfu songs, hes pretty alr

[fathom shore]

[cedar meadow]

leave the city is one of if not THE best top song its gotten me through so much

[languid bobcat]

yall who here is voting for levitate

[mild seal]

Bruh I can’t do this. I love both songs

[viscid seal]

leave the city

[tall gorge]

Leave the city

[nocturne dove]

levitate

[south stream]

leave the city better win the whole thing yall

[nocturne dove]

leave the city fans when they discover truce (its more emotional)

[south stream]

personally i love both

[short light]

hardest one yet wtf

[hollow bone]

Neither of them know about Redecorate

[placid raptor]

LTC, Truce, and Redecorate are some of my fav tøp songs

[south stream]

once SAI battles start i really hope redecorate wins, thats literally in my top 5 TØP songs

[noble elm]

eh

leave the city is better

truce is my least favorite off vessel

[noble elm]

i don't see anything but redecorate winning

[reef lichen]

Redecorate is a little overrated 🥀

Where’s my choker/shy away 😞

[nocturne dove]

bounce man

[sinful belfry]

I don’t think there’s a song that hits you and then walks away quiet like leave the city

[noble elm]

dead

[noble elm]

death

[limber kelp]

redecorate slaps so hard

just the vibes and the chords and the eerie echo effect

[reef lichen]

THE DOWNVOTES is it that bad 😭

[nocturne dove]

you should bounce bounce bounce man

[cloud shore]

Leave the city is the only right choice here

U can't make an argument for levitate against it

[naive cape]

DEADASS
Rap fast vs the most emotional performance on the album? Yeah, okay pal

[cloud shore]

I think u could argue more emotional performance out of almost every tøp song

Maybe besides truce

[honest patio]

Sweep the city

[floral nebula]

But these are both really good :(

[hushed falcon]

No way these are both my favorites

Rip Levitate. 😔

[ionic raven]

thanks 😁

[polar dragon]

yes ofcofc

[jagged eagle]

leave the city SAVED MY LIFE. theres no way im not voting for it if it loses i will sob

[digital yarrow]

i can’t believe i have to vote out levitate

[ocean vortex]

Trench is the worst album to have battles for

most, if not all, of the songs on trench are so good

how can i be expected to choose

[languid bobcat]

fr

[rose wyvern]

Cause they’re not all on the same level some are better than others

[ocean vortex]

🤨

[languid bobcat]

I'm going levitate bc it looks like it's losing

[rose wyvern]

Levitate isn’t losing this is gonna be close

Well levitate will lose tho

Hopefully

[ocean vortex]

so ready for scaled and icy battles though

[rose wyvern]

Ooh fr

[languid bobcat]

yep

[rose wyvern]

Oh wait I forgot to do the rank thing

[languid bobcat]

redecorate my goat

[ocean vortex]

REAL

album closers are just so.

wow

[rose wyvern]

1: Jumpsuit (10/10)
2: Chlorine (10/10)
3: Morph (10/10)
4: My Blood (10/10)

5: Leave the City (10/10)

6: Nico and the Niners (9/10)

10: Neon Gravestones (8/10)
11: The Hype (6/10)
12: Legend (6/10)
13: Smithereens (5/10)
14: Pet Cheetah (2/10)

To compare the 2 songs

[ocean vortex]

YOU GAVE PET CHEETAH 2/10??

genuinely, I want to know why

[heady garden]

Leave The City my love !!

[rose wyvern]

Production isn’t very good, and certain lyrics can come off as cringe. Namedropping Jason Statham, repeating pet cheetah in the end, idk it just doesn’t sound good at all to me

[ocean vortex]

all sound reasons, i suppose

[rose wyvern]

Idk that song is the one thing holding Trench back from a 10/10 album for me

[ocean vortex]

respect

[rose wyvern]

Oh, ok

[clever quartz]

2 is madness

[rose wyvern]

Eh

[clever quartz]

btw voting levitate i guess.... leave the city one of the best but- levitate is just too much

[twin flame]

leave the city my baby. my shayla

[tawdry vector]

levitate

[tawdry vector]

the smithereens slander is crazy

[rose wyvern]

Hey I don’t hate smithereens I think it’s fine

[feral pewter]

levitate is rlly good but come on you cant beat ltc

singing it at clancy tour with everyone else was wild

[little jungle]

Paladin clears bøth.

[feral pewter]

why are we bringing other songs into this just to say theyre bad

thats why i domt come here anymore its song vs song and for some reason theres someone parading around nitpicking at veesel

[open bough]

in time i will get a new single...

[rose wyvern]

[modern jacinth]

[tawdry vector]

disagreement

[quartz raptor]

IIIIN TIIIIIMMMMMEEEEE

[sand nymph]

Reading through some of these reads making me realize I have kinda unpopular opinions lol ig I just prefer more interesting sounding and higher energy songs. Anyways I'm voting levitate

[sonic depot]

LWAVE fhe city gey fucked

[south widget]

why are you stonehendge

[quartz raptor]

arc of texture

[noble elm]

objectively false

[civic oak]

leave the city has my heart

[sleek dune]

levitate easily

this is like not even a thinker

leave the city though is the best song excluding all the first 5 songs

[sly roost]

i gotta go levitate
tyler's flow is too crazy
but leave the city is such a great song and it feels so surreal

[quaint totem]

I voted Levotate

Tyler:# best rap performance to this day man.

[woeful stag]

Leave the city is bandito but worse I fear 💔

[fathom oracle]

i hear Redecorate slander, i won’t stand for this

Redecorate is so peak

[woeful stag]

Redecorate has 69m streams, Choker has 95m, and shy away has 234m. They're all great songs but how are you calling redecorate overrated be so fr 😭

[naive spire]

THE SONIC REACTION STICKER

[reef lichen]

Haha I’m afraid I’m not totally serious when I say that- but more often than not I hear/see more hype/discussions around redecorate than the other two

[feral pewter]

bc its one of the best on the album

[cyan grove]

oh yeah this is an easy one for me. levitate all the way

[heady garden]

With what I read, I fear Leave The City will lose this round... My baby nooo 😭

Levitate is really really good too, but Leave The City makes me emotional 😭

[tulip quest]

levitate will not win

[main dock]

Oh shit this ones hard

[rose wyvern]

Fr it better not

[tidal burrow]

In time, I will leave the city.
For now, I will stay alive.

anyway I say leave the city or i leave my soul

[lean jay]

levitage

[heady garden]

I hope so !

[fleet sand]

[mint prairie]

[brittle pasture]

[near junco]

[brittle pasture]

[naive cape]

Because the world knows the truth and Levitate believers continue to live in delusion /silly

[near junco]

[near junco]

https://tenor.com/view/withering-flowers-rose-red-rose-gif-13731057

[heady garden]

Yeaaah !! Leave The City my baby !! Sorry Levitate, I love you but I prefer LTC

[regal kiln]

smh, shame on everyone

[tulip plinth]

wait what

[icy monolith]

why not both? they even transition, as in, the last ltc chord is the first truce chord so why choose one over another

[queen spruce]

Levitate lost ……….

[languid bobcat]

aww man poor levitate

happy for ltc tho
