“Taxi Cab” remains an important song to both the fans and the band alike. Not only has Tyler Joseph revealed that the famous third verse is one of his greatest accomplishments, but this song was the only track off this album to be performed during the The Bandito Tour.
While the interpretation for...
[Verse 1]
I wanna fall inside your ghost
And fill up every hole inside my mind
And I want everyone to know
That I am half a soul divided
[Chorus]
Sometimes, we will die
And sometimes, we will fly away
Either way, you're by my side
Until my dyin' days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid"
I said, "Don't be afraid
We're goin' home"
[Verse 2]
I wanna strip myself of breath
A breathless piece of death I've made for you
A mortal rotting piece of song
Will help me carry on, but at least you heard
[Chorus]
Oh, sometimes, we will die
And sometimes, we will fly away
Either way, you're by my side
Until my dyin' days
And if I'm not there and I'm far away
I said, "Don't be afraid"
I said, "Don't be afraid
We're goin' home"
[Bridge]
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Okay)
So the hearse ran out of gas
A passenger person grabbed a map
And the driver inside it contrived a new route to save the past
And checked his watch and grabbed a cab
A beautifully plain taxi cab
A cab, had a cleared out back
And two men started to unpack
Driving once again, but now this time, there were three men
And then I heard one of them say
"I know the night will turn to gray
I know the stars will start to fade
When all the darkness fades away
We had to steal him from his fate
So he could see another day"
And then I cracked open my box
Someone must have picked the lock
A little light revealed the spot where my fingernails had fought
Then I pushed it open more, pushing up against the door
Then I sat up off the floor
And found the breath I was searchin' for
Then there were three men up front
All I saw were backs of heads
And then I asked, "Am I alive and well
Or am I dreaming dead?"
Then one turned around to say
"We're driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away
And all you did will be undone"
[Outro]
I said, "Don't be afraid"
I said, "Don't be afraid"
Oh, oh

twenty one pilots released Taxi Cab on Tue Dec 29 2009.
Tyler Joseph never fully discloses the meaning of the third verse, but he has said it is one of the most favorite verses he has ever written.
The actual meaning varies by interpretation, but given Tyler’s known Christian background and the Christian undertones all over the self-titled album, the ve...
Like many twenty one pilot’s songs, the song can be interpreted many ways. Two of the main interpretations are that it is about Tyler Joseph’s struggle with his faith and his depression. The three men are thought to be God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in this interpretation. The other interpretation...
While we cannot know for certain, the most probable theory postulates that these three people are God, or the Holy Trinity. As the Old Testament states, God is three persons in one, which is generally referred to as the Trinity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All are separate,...
