|[Verse 1]
|[Intro: Tyler Joseph]
I know You're not a liar and I know You could set fire this day
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


Go ahead and make me look away
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


Strike me down, I am calling Your lightning down from Your dark hiding place
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


Go ahead and show me Your face
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]


[Chorus]
Where'd you go, huh? They all think I know ya


Reign down and destroy me
It's so hard to motivate me to devote


Reign down and destroy me
A single inch of me to something I can't see


Reign down (Reign down)
I don't mean to pry but why would you even make the eyes?


I don't believe my ears and I'm scared of my own head


[Verse 2]
I will deny you for years then I'll make you raise me from the dead


I mean no disrespect
And if I said that I would live for you for nothing in return


I am simply very perplexed by Your ways
Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Gullible, but lying's all I've learned


Why would you let us use your name?
[Refrain: Tyler Joseph]


So be concerned


[Chorus]
(Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa)


Reign down and destroy me
So be concerned


Reign down and destroy me
(Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa)


Reign down and destroy me
[Verse 2: Jocef]


Reign down and destroy me
Uh, uh


No music, and I can talk about anything


[Outro]
Whether or not it's worthwhile, it’s based on who's listenin'


Reign down (Down!)
Most of us listen if it's something we can relate to


Reign down (Down!)
All of us relate if it's something we've just been through


(Down! Down! Reign!)

|''«I know You're not a liar and I know You could set fire this day''
''Go ahead and make me look away»''
|Tyler believes that all of God’s promises
(everlasting life will be eventually fulfilled,
but because of his doubt, he still wants physical proof of His existence.
This is why he is asking for God to show himself and make it rain fire upon the
Earth now, just as the Bible says it will during the final days in 2 Peter 3:10:<blockquote>But the day of the Lord will come like a thief,


and then the heavens will pass away with a roar,  
(Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa)


and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved,
So be concerned


and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.</blockquote>“Make me look away,” could be a reference to Genesis 19,  
(Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa)


where God destroyed the two cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with a rain of fire.
So be concerned


When God told Lot to leave with his family,  
(Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa)


they were told to not look directly at the cities burning,
So be concerned


for little did they know, they would turn to salt if they peeked;
(Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa)


Lot’s wife learned the hard way.
[Outro: Tyler Joseph]


A less literal analysis of this line is that God is
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


making him look away from any proof, forcing him to solely rely on his faith.<ref name=":0" />
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa
|-
|«''Strike me down, I am calling Your lightning down from Your dark hiding place''
''Go ahead and show me Your face»''
|Tyler is taunting God, trying to draw Him out and make Him prove Himself. What Tyler doesn’t realize is that God isn’t hiding; Tyler simply hasn’t found Him of his own accord. He resorts to blasphemy, asking for his own self-destruction. What Tyler is asking for is comparable to what was described in either Job 36 or Job 37.
“Show me your face,” connects with the chorus and the previous demands for self destruction as well (“Strike me down”). It is quite likely an allusion to Exodus 33:20:<blockquote>‘But,’ he said, ‘you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.’</blockquote>Ironically, this line defies the meaning of an implicit demand. “Show me your face” is an ''explicit'' , or direct, demand, whereas an ''implicit'' demand would be indirect with only the implication of a demand.<ref name=":0" />
|-
|«Reign down and destroy me
Reign down and destroy me


Reign down (Reign down)»
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa
|Tyler taunts God, vying for his attention or acknowledgement by saying, “Go ahead, destroy me, then at least I’ll know you’re real.” Recognizing that God does not owe him an answer (as seen in Job 38), he may also be asking for God to destroy him as an atonement for all of his doubting.
The word “reign” in these lines could have a double meaning, acting as a homophone for “rain.” Gods are usually seen as having control of the weather and the sky, bringing bad weather to punish people for things such as blasphemy. God is also known as the “King of kings,” and Tyler is asking God to actually “reign down” by doing something that only a king or a god could do to prove their existence.


This could also be a nod to Radiohead’s 1997 song “Paranoid Android” where it says:<ref name=":0" /><blockquote>Rain down, rain down
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


Come on, rain down on me
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa


From a great height
Who-o-o-oa, who-o-oa
|}
</div>

From a great height, height</blockquote>

|«''I mean no disrespect''
!Lyrics
''I am simply very perplexed by Your ways»''
|Sometimes following blindly in the words and ways of your superiors can be confusing and lead you to question their motives; not out of malice, but out of genuine curiosity. Nobody likes to be left in the dark.
More specifically, Tyler strives to understand God Himself more thoroughly. This is seen more blatantly in Tyler’s song “Blasphemy” from his 2008 solo project, ''No Phun Intended''. He seems to possess some resentment towards God in this line, as many do after suffering some sort of trauma. He questions His methods, which is not acceptable behavior according to some Christian churches, but is common in those who feel hopeless.<ref name=":0" />

|-
|«''Why would you let us use your name?»''
|“Be Concerned” is about how Tyler has begun to question his faith. It appears that it documents a hard time Tyler went through, but eventually overcame, as Tyler’s faith still illuminates even his more recent lyrics that the band has released.
|As many worshipers have expressed, Tyler is curious as to why God would create humans with the ability to sin. In biblical times, the true name of God was considered much too holy to be spoken aloud. This may also allude to the famous passage in the Book of Exodus in which speaking the Lord’s name in vain is made to be a crime:<blockquote>Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.</blockquote>It’s appropriate to note here that Tyler never directly says “God” in his songs (save for “A Car, A Torch, A Death”), even though many clearly contain religious allusions. As this article suggests, it almost seems as if this is done to draw people in, then let them figure it out for themselves.<ref name=":0" />
Like a handful of other tracks from ''Regional at Best'', this song was not included in its 2013 remastered successor, ''Vessel''. While the song bears dense lyrical content, it has never been a huge fan-favorite, and it would make sense that Tyler wouldn’t want to constantly reflect on such a negative time in his life.
 
“Be Concerned” also features Tyler’s friend Jocef of the Jocef Michael Band, an Ohio-based Christian group. [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-be-concerned-lyrics]

Be Concerned is the 13th track on the album, Regional at Best

Background

Implicit Demand For Proof begins with a melodic piano piece which introduces the listener to the musical virtuosity of twenty one pilots.

The track evolves quickly into an angst-y piece that details Tyler Joseph’s struggle with his religious doubt, a theme the group would continue to explore further throughout their career.

Tyler goes as far as to bait God, or “implicitly demands” proof of His existence. He questions his power and His presence, even if it means God strikes Joseph down in the process for his blasphemy[1].
