There was a story?!?!?!? ****, where can I read a summary or full explanaition?

I can try to break it down

 

Blurryface, as stated by Tyler, is a personification of his fears and insecurities

The album develops around that, every time you hear the deep voice in the album is actually Blurryface speaking.

For example, in Fairly Local (wich was the first single):

In the first verse Tyler signs

'I’m evil to the core
What I shouldn't do I will
They say I’m emotional
What I wanna save I’ll kill
Is that who I truly am?
I truly don’t have a chance
Tomorrow I’ll keep a beat
And repeat yesterday’s dance'

 

But in the second verse he suddenly as a positive look on it:

'I’m not evil to the core
What I shouldn't do I will fight
I know I’m emotional
What I wanna save I will try
I know who I truly am
I truly do have a chance
Tomorrow I’ll switch the beat
To avoid yesterday’s dance'

 

Then, the deep voice comes in, to try and break him down:

'Yo, this song will never be on the radio
Even if my clique were to pick and the people were to vote'

 

Then, in the 2nd single, Tear In My Heart:

You can see Tyler's hands and neck are painted a super dark tone, that's to simbolize he's insecure about his voice and what he can create with his hands

In the video, you can see every person that walks by him, he feels they are watching him, but then there is Jenna (his wife) whose eyes don't grow, so he follows her, but she starts beating him, but really she's beating Blurryface, so he's basically saying she makes is insecurities dissapear.

Spoiler

Also, in the album artwork for the vinyl and the digipack version of the album, you can move the red circles (simbolizing Blurryface) arround every patter but the middel pattern, that pattern is the Tear In My Heart one, maybe meaning it's the only one Blurryface can't control because it's a love song.

Then there is Stressed Out

Where Tyler is showing his insecurities have always been there, since he was little, but you can notice the black on his hands and neck isn't as strong as in the TIMH video, so that may mean he didn't have as much insecurities.

 

You can also hear Blurryface reminding Tyler of this

'We used to play pretend, give each other different names,
We would build a rocket ship and then we’d fly it far away,
Used to dream of outer space but now they’re laughing at our face,
Saying, “wake up, you need to make money.'

 

Next is Lane Boy

Where he is talking about his insecurities about the music he makes, that they may sound too 'commercial' and how radio can make him do certain things just to fit in

'I’m in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin’,
In the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency,
My creativity’s only free when I’m playing shows.'

 

Then there is Ride

 

Where I think he's basically saying he's trying to live with it, and keep moving on, but at the end he realizes he can't

'I’ve been thinking too much,
Help me.'

 

And the last one, Heavydirtysoul

 

As I said in the post, I think the car is a representation of Tyler mind, where he himself and Blurryface are there

But this time Blurryface is driving him, trying to destroy his loved ones (in this case Josh, his best friend and band mate) 

As you see the car start to fall apart, Blurryface dissapears, and you can see Tyler is finally free

 

Also, just like Tyler paints his hands and neck, Josh paints his eyes red, he says it's his War paint
