“Fairly Local” is the lead single from twenty one pilots' fourth album, Blurryface.
The song describes two sides of Tyler’s personality, with two opposing verses. One is narrated by Blurryface, a personification of all of Tyler’s doubts, insecurities, and self loathing, and another is told from the...
[Chorus]
Ah, I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets you're walkin' down
I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I'm evil to the core, what I shouldn't do I will
They say I'm emotional, what I wanna save I'll kill
Is that who I truly am? I truly don't have a chance
Tomorrow I'll keep a beat and repeat yesterday's dance
[Pre-Chorus]
Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burnin', but we're so cold
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
[Chorus]
Ah, I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets you're walkin' down
I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I'm not evil to the core, what I shouldn't do I will fight
I know I'm emotional, what I wanna save I will try
I know who I truly am, I truly do have a chance
Tomorrow I'll switch the beat to avoid yesterday's dance
[Pre-Chorus]
Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
Yo, you, bulletproof in black like a funeral
The world around us is burnin', but we're so cold
It's the few, the proud, and the emotional
[Chorus]
I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets you're walkin' down
I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Ah, I'm fairly local, I've been around
I've seen the streets (I've seen the streets) you're walkin' down
I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Yeah)
I'm fairly local, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, good people now
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I guess there’s always that fear that you’re going to change as a person. But also, whether or not you’re in the spotlight making music, you’re going to change too. I mean, Josh and I are right now sitting in Columbus, Ohio, at my house and we love it here. It’s our hometown and it always will be. S...
