Heathens from Suicide Squad

Suicide Squad really has the best soundtracks!!! This is one of my favourites!!! Heathens by twenty one pilots.



The music fits the movie 100% well!!! So dark so gloomy and all!!!
Yet the best part is the lyrics.

Here's which I like the most:
You'll never know the psychopath setting next to you
You'll never know the murderer sitting next to you
You'll think, "How'd I get here, sitting next to you?"

Not only it describes the scenes and stories in the movie, it also tells the stories of our lives. Like... People often get obsessed in what we do, then we become lost on our ways to achieve what we want. We forget our priorities, true responsibilities and even worse, we leave behind our purest intentions before we started the race in our lives in order to get our goals. 
Then we mess everything up, not knowing how messed up we are. One day, all of a sudden, only we realize we're not living the lives we wanted in the first place. When we hit this stage in life, we have already lost some of the most important things. Love, friends or maybe even family. 

Isn't this exactly what the lyrics is about? In the middle of our effort to lead a good life, we get involved in the ways of the "psychopaths and "murderers" in our lives. One day we'll be asking ourselves "How'd I get to this terrible point in my life?" By that time, we may have already lost our loved ones.

Back to the song. The second best part is the sudden end of things, accompanied by the very well written lines:
Why'd you come, you know you should have stayed
I tried to warn you just to stay away
And now they're outside ready to bust
It looks like you might be one of us

Given the singer sings this out as a prisoner(in the video), it's like telling those who haven't done wrongs(or haven't got lost in their lives) to beware of this world, from an experienced to a less experienced. Yet we always ignore good advice. So at the end of the day, people will still easily fall into the dark side of the world. And so it says,"It looks like you might be one of us" with a sudden ending, leaving the unknowns as unknown, exactly a portray of life.

Don't get what I say? Watch the MV!!! It's definitely a song worth listening.
