Snap Back | twenty one pilots Piano Cover

In the process of transcribing these songs to piano, I probably had the emotional strongest shift with this track. I'm a big chords / harmony guy, and this is one of their most adventurous tracks in that regard. So many 7ths and 9ths on top of chords, and UGH I love that sound. I ended up extending some of the harmonies towards the end, I hope that can be forgiven.

But even on a lyrical end, I really, really relate to this track. It's probably the darkest on Clancy, and is practically the poster child of the "endless cycle of mental health struggles" found in many of the lyrics on the album. This track just... feels like disassociation. I'm really proud of this cover, and even though it's like the least talked about track on this album, I hope y'all enjoy my musical take on the it! :)

Lyrics (starting at 0:19)

Got a bad feeling that I'm about to break
Been a good streak, but the pressure's overweight
Is it even good, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
Got a bad feeling I'm gonna lose the lead
Running from a thing, that I kicked in '17
Is it even right, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back

Have I burnt all the bridges?
Bite the hand that helps me
Give it finger stitches
Blacklisted from forgiveness
Fool you once, it's been twenty-five times

It's a backslide
I commandeered a hot ride
Drove it 'til the engine died
All of that progress lost today

Got a bad feeling that I'm about to break
Been a good streak, but the pressure's overweight
Is it even good, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
Got a bad feeling I'm gonna lose the lead
Running from a thing, that I kicked in '17
Is it even right, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back

Oh, it's you
Well, welcome back to the show
(Been a minute)
Guess I better move to a fresher approach
(Thought I kicked it)
It's a new adaptation

It's a backslide
I hate the surprise
And now it's all gone
All of that progress lost today

I have seemed to run out of excuses
Of why I am this way

Got a bad feeling that I'm about to break
Been a good streak, but the pressure's overweight
Is it even good, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back
Got a bad feeling I'm gonna lose the lead
Running from a thing, that I kicked in '17
Is it even right, for my head to keep track?
If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back

I've been praying for my elasticity
To return to the way that it was
(If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back)
I've been praying for my elasticity
To return to the way that it was
(If I'm gonna snap necks, then I gotta snap back)
