With a distinctly ‘80s-esque feel, “Hometown” delivers lyrics with a double meaning. Firstly, they describe the artists’ lives as Christians in a world that doesn’t know or understand what they believe. Tyler Joseph speaks to God, pleading for redemption, as well as to the masses, imploring them to realize that in the grand scheme of things, they are powerless without faith. Secondly, the lyrics nod to Blurryface, further describing his character as well as speaking generally about the effects of depression and other mental illness.
