“Semi-Automatic” describes Tyler’s frustration with his inability to control part of himself, the part that is automatic. He has remarked on being able to do certain things effortlessly, such as avoid falling weak to a simple temptation, but then being incapable of doing other things such as be the...
Semi-Automatic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Night falls, with gravity
The Earth turns, from sanity
Taking my only friend I know
He leaves a lot, his name is Hope
[Chorus]
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
[Verse 2]
The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on
My shadow grows taller along with my fears
And my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near
When the sun is climbing window sills
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun makes the hills its grave
[Chorus]
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
I'm never what I like!
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind
[Breakdown]
I'm semi-automatic
My prayer's schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
I'm semi-automatic
My prayer's schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live, yeah, yeah, yeah!
I'm semi-automatic
My prayer's schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on, yeah I'll live on
I'm semi-automatic
My prayer's schizophrenic
But I'll live on, yeah I'll live on...
[Bridge]
By the time the night wears off, the dust is down
And shadows burn
I will rise and stand my ground
Waiting for the night's return
[Chorus]
I'm never what I like
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside
I'm never what I like!
I'm double-sided
And I just can't hide
I kinda like it
When I make you cry
Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up, inside my mind

What did twenty one pilots say about "Semi-Automatic"?
It’s a different song than most of the other ones. It’s a very bouncy, happy sounding melody and everything.
Why is it that we continue to do wrong things, why do we continue to do things we know are wrong? Why is addiction even a thing? These are all things I ask myself. I know there is someth...
Why are the lyrics so sad when the music sounds happy?
I love to contrast very bright and upbeat sounding music with lyrics that aren’t. Almost as if I can get people to sing because of the melody, they start to realise what the song is actually saying. I love to catch people off guard. This song is a very bouncy, fun chord progression.
–Tyler Joseph v...
