No one can figure out what the trilogy’s timeline actually is…
…especially with the “Welcome to the trench” line…
…who may or may not have been Clancy…
…and Josh isn’t actually there because Tyler never escaped the trench.
The music also matches up out of order of release…
…and the band’s Spotify playlist for the new tracks are also not in the order of release.
It may also just be an endless loop
so the order is heavydirtysoul, jumpsuit, natn and levitate and its a circle/loop so thats why he’s already blad in hds (?) plea my last braincell is tired

I have a theory on the Trench story that this whole story is a cycle that keeps going: HDS-Jumpsuit-NATN-Levitate. It sounds funky but hear me out.

Trench is either a sequel to Blurryface given “Jumpsuit” starts with the car from “Heavydirtysoul”…
…or a prequel given this is the first time we see the black appear on Tyler Joseph’s neck—or it may be neither.
They may be paying homage to their previous hits through actions in the video…
….and through lyrics when it comes to “Car Radio.”
Oh, and Tyler Joseph is actually just doing the zoom challenge when getting dragged off.
