Nico and the Niners Lyrics

East is up, I'm fearless when I hear this on the low
East is up, I'm careless when I wear my rebel clothes
East is up, when Bishops come together they will know that
Dema don't control us, Dema don't control
East is up

They want to make you forget
They want to make you forget
Save your razorblades now, not yet
Save your razorblades now, not yet

I'm heavy, my jumpsuit is on steady
I'm lighter when I'm lower, I'm higher when I'm heavy, oh ooh
I'm so high, my Jumpsuit takes me so high
I'm flying from a fire, from Nico and the Niners, oh ooh

East is up, I'm fearless when I hear this on the low
East is up, I'm careless when I wear my rebel clothes
East is up, when Bishops come together they will know that
Dema don't control us, Dema don't control

I'm heavy, my jumpsuit is on steady
I'm lighter when I'm lower, I'm higher when I'm heavy, oh
I'm so high, my jumpsuit takes me so high
I'm flying from a fire, from Nico and the Niners, oh ooh

I'm heavy, jumpsuit is on steady
Lighter when I'm lower, higher when I'm heavy, oh
I'm so high, I'm so high
I'm so high, I'm so high
Fire, Nico and the Niners

What I say when I want to be enough
What a beautiful day for making a break for it
We'll find a way to pay for it
Maybe from all the money we made razorblade stores
Rent a race horse and force a sponsor
And start a concert, a complete diversion
Start a mob and you can be quite certain
We'll win but not everyone will get out
No, no
We'll win but not everyone will get out
No, no
We'll win but not everyone will get out

East is up, I'm fearless when I hear this on the low
East is up, I'm careless when I wear my rebel clothes
East is up, when Bishops come together they will know that
Dema don't control us, Dema don't control
East is up

I'm so high, so high
Fire, Nico and the Niners
I'm so high, so high
(So keep Ned by you?)
Fire, Nico and the Niners

What is the Meaning of Nico and the Niners?

twenty one pilots' lyrics delve into the struggle against oppressive forces and the quest for liberation. "East is up" symbolizes a direction towards freedom, defiance, and hope. Dema represents a fictional city embodying mental entrapment and control, while the Bishops symbolize its enforcers. The protagonist's "jumpsuit" serves as a metaphor for resilience and protection in this battle. The repeated refrain, "Dema don't control us," underscores resistance against psychological oppression. The mention of "Nico and the Niners" refers to antagonists within this narrative, from whom escape is sought. The song merges themes of rebellion, unity among the oppressed, and the bittersweet reality that not everyone will survive or escape their struggles. Ultimately, it conveys an empowering message to confront inner demons and external oppressors with courage and solidarity.
