Another thing is that "Clancy is dead" means much more than simply that our messenger is dead since Clancy represents the logical side of Tyler's brain, it could be seen as Tyler finally snapping after all the back and forth, and if we are to speculate, it can also be seen as Tyler breaking from his regular everyday routine (being taken from and to DEMA), which fits with the song.

@@asuscommenous9126 The way Tyler has been able to make connections to his older songs and create a plausible metaphor to mental illness is incredible. The meaning each word has to him shows. We connect to his music not because of the code cracking or the cryptic messages, but because we understand that behind all that there's a person who understands pain and constantly fights against it. Creating DEMA and the bishops and the Banditos (and everything in between) is Tyler's way of turning all of his production into something visual. Connect the dots so that more people might be able to finally understand the struggles people with a mental illness have. It's okay not to like their music, but there's no denying that what they've created is beyond anything most artists out there have been putting out.

its very interesting how trench's style invokes a sense of home, of belonging, of welcoming, and while the SAI stuff is meant to look appealing, it absolutely turns me away from it. i look at the colors and fonts, and it immediately gives me bad vibes. vibes of fake happiness, of this weird uncomfortableness. ive always thought of it as feeling "orange" but that doesnt make lots of sense to most. its like,,,, a feeling where the sound of peoples voices and the feeling of literally anything touching me makes me so violently uncomfortable, and then i cant do anythjng about it. its just there. it doesnt go away. i cant really put it into words, its kind of complicated, but thats how SAI feels

That is a key to understand the true meaning of SAI. I don't want to sound rude but there's a lot more behind this album, it is Propaganda. TOP are always TOP and in my opinion in this album they've reached a new level of "hiding the message behind the words". I think that knowing a little about the lore (I recommend Wise Bear's video about it, short but straight to the point) and paying attention to the detail of the videos they spread a big message, a painful description of our society but it's the truth. They're sad, theyre cold, they're distant. All these things represents they feeling about being sell as a product, not as individuals. Another key point but in this case is less about them, it's a symbol of capitalism.

In the bridge of Redecorate, Tyler sings: “With the bells and the whistles scaled back Like an isolated track And he feels trapped when he's not inebriated Fair to say he's fairly sedated most days of the week He might have made it if he lived on a different street I repeat, scaled back and isolated”

If you go back to the video where you talked about Trench's release, you referenced their hiatus and showed a snapshot of their header during that time period which was simply the word "silence". The E's in the typography of that word are sideways Psy's, the trident now being used as the front facing symbol of the Pilots. It would seem then, that in Scaled and Icy, Dema has successfully silenced the rebellion, destroyed Trench, and killed Clancy.

What if DEMA represents LIFE? The bishops are the problems we face in life. The "yellow rebellion" is people trying to flee the life, fearing the bishops, our problems and issues. Now in scaled and icy DEMA fails at promoting itself, the colorful fun scenery looks blurry and distant and old-fashioned, not giving good reasons to stay here. Maybe Clancy managed to flee, by dying, that's why Clancy is dead. Let's see how the rest of the new album adds up to the existing theories

I have been very turned away by a lot of the fans taking this all one step to far, to the point where they are talking about Tyler and Josh as if they were truly being held in this fictional universe, in a literal sense. I think it is important to appreciate the music and graphics and art not only as propoganda, or cries for help, but also mostly as the music and art that Tyler and Josh want to make. At the end of the day, i truly hope that they are having fun with this, because as soon as that is gone some of the magic of there music is gone.

Even though Tyler and Josh are being used by dema, Tyler doesn't seem to have black neck or hands anymore which used to happen when under the control of the bishops. Still my theory is, at the end of Nico and the niners video, the bishops come to know about the band and how they can influence people to think of a life outside dema, to be rebellious. And in turn they're trying to delete all the evidence there is which shows dema is bad light and uses them as a front to show the vibrant neon dema and using their influence to make people come there. I don't think they'd have ever allowed music to ever play in that place and this all is just a propoganda from them to fool people to join them.
