(Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)
Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-oh
(Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)
(Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-oh)
(Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh)
(Eh-oh, eh-oh, eh-oh-oh)
My, oh my
Don't know how long it's been
My, oh my
[Verse 1]
I can't seem to turn the page
This haze around my face makes me feel all alone
I know you see me standin' still
But when our fingers touch, I feel my way back home
[Chorus]
Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice
I am wasting all this time
My, oh my
Don't know how long it's been
My, oh my
How things change so rapidly
I find my self-esteem, then turn so cold
[Chorus]
Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me somе advice (Give me somе advice)
I am wasting all this time (Wasting)
My, oh my
Don't know how long it's been
[Bridge]
Since I responded to your question
If you really want to know what I'm thinkin'
Kind of feels like everybody leaves
Feelin' the reality that everybody leaves
My dad just lost his mom, I think that everybody leaves
And now I'm tryin' to hold onto you 'cause everybody leaves
[Chorus]
Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice
I am wasting all this time
My, oh my
Pardon my delay
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Disassociate
I'm navigating, I'm navigating my head
Give me some advice (Give me some advice)
I am wasting all this time (Wasting)
My, oh my
About
“Navigating” is the ninth track on the album Clancy and was released on May 24th, 2024. Like the rest of the album, the song was heard early by many fans via global listening parties on May 18th, 2024.
Throughout the song, Tyler is “navigating” through his head, a phrase he repeats to illustrate the spiral he goes down when confronted with difficult thoughts and fears, such as his family leaving him one day. The song ties in with other themes throughout Clancy in songs like “Routines in the Night” which details nightly mental struggles, as well as “Backslide” and “Snap Back,” in which he expresses his concern of backsliding to a worsened mental state.
“Navigating” brings back the familiar with the depiction of the endless battle with the brain, as this theme is present throughout the band’s discography – the cover of their first studio album twenty one pilots shows art of the brain. Twenty One Pilots is known for writing about mental health in songs such as “Migraine,” Ode to Sleep,“ and ”Ride,“ to name a few.
During the Premiere Livestream it was revealed that Tyler did not want to include Navigating in the album but Joshed convinced him to keep it together with Routines In The Night
