i've never heard of the car allegory theory, can you give me a summary pls :-)

All I've ever wanted is someone to ask about the car allegory! Ahhhh tysm for asking

The car allegory mostly comes from self titled (which I know intimately lol). A lot of the songs mention cars or vehicles in some way. From songs like "a car, a torch, a death" and "taxi cab" it can be assumed that cars represent our lives.

For example the lyrics:

And I begin to envy the headlights driving south

I want to crack the door so I can just fall out

(From a car, a torch, a death) can be interpreted as Tyler envying people who get to lead their lives towards a better place (south)(this was before they started using the east as a symbol for salvation). In this case cars would represent our physical bodies rather than our entire existence as Tyler expresses a wish to separate his soul from his body.

The entirety of the second verse of taxi cab is also filled with car allegories. If you want I could share some examples but I don't want to make this post too long.

Another important bit of car allegory comes from the heavydirtysoul and jumpsuit music videos. In hds mv Tyler is in a car, being driven by Nico. According to the Car Allegory, thay would mean he is not in control of his life, depression is. At the end, the car catches on fire. We can assume this fire to be a way to start a new life/leave your old life behind. Fire is also an important symbol of the banditos because of how real and alive and unpredictable it is, in contrast to the neon lights which the bishops use because of how controlled those are. In jumpsuit, Tyler returns to this car, his old life, and gets a jacket from the trunk (at the end of the mv). I like to interpret that as him having to return to his old life in order to get what he needs (his bandito jacket) to go forward (to trench).

In it he also says "you were asleep, time to wake up" before the car bursts on fire again, essentially reigniting it and considering what fire could symbolise, i think that's really fucking cool.

Cars are mentioned in their songs a bunch more times but I haven't gotten to all of those instances yet lol. Anyway I hope this made sense to you! Any and all questions are welcome :)

This is like my favourite part of tøp song analysis so thanks for letting me ramble about that

When I was analysing self titled line by line it was my favourite album

When I was analysing regional at best line by line I called it my favourite.

Now I'm picking apart vessel line by line and I can't help but marvel at themes. Currently I call it my favourite album.

I'm sensing a pattern
