Morph

About this song

The song's lyrics were released when an Australian fan bought a CD from a small music store that had released the album early. She then posted photos of the album booklet days before the album's release.

What it's about

The track is fast-paced and touches on changing into someone you're not and on what happens after death. Tyler's idea of morphing refers to the characters and personas he has used throughout the band's career, such as Blurryface, a vulture, and a prisoner, and he describes it as a defense mechanism or shield for the song's deeper existential themes.
