Implicit Demand for Proof

Implicit Demand for Proof

​twenty one pilots

The first song on their first album, twenty one pilots, “Implicit Demand for Proof” begins with a melodic piano piece which introduces the listener to the musical virtuosity of twenty one pilots.

The track evolves quickly into an angst-y piece that details Tyler Joseph’s struggle with his religious doubt, a theme the group would continue to explore further throughout their career.

Tyler goes as far as to bait God, or “implicitly demands” proof of His existence. He questions his power and His presence, even if it means God strikes Joseph down in the process for his blasphemy.
