La canción Stressed Out de Twenty One Pilots aborda temas de inseguridad, presiones sociales y una nostalgia por la comodidad y simplicidad de la infancia. La letra expresa el deseo de volver a un tiempo más simple, antes de que las preocupaciones adultas como el dinero y el empleo se tomaran el protagonismo. La referencia a Blurryface en la canción es una personificación de las inseguridades y dudas sobre sí mismo del vocalista Tyler Joseph.

Sometimes a certain smell will take me back to when I was young
Am
How come I'm never able to identify where it's coming from
F
Dm
I'd make a candle out of it, if I ever found it
Am
Try to sell it, never sell out of it, I'd probably only ever sell one
F
Dm
It'd be to my brother cause we have the same nose
Am
Same clothes, home grown, the stones thrown from the creek we used to roam

But it would remind of when nothing really mattered
Am
Out of student loans and tree house homes, we all would take the latter
