I did an analysis of this song for school, here's a part:

“And my problem? We glorify those even more when they-.” The second part is cut off because it’s obvious. The writer, Tyler Joseph, doesn’t approve of how the media has shaped our culture to celebrate the celebrities who commit suicide, sometimes even for their own fame and glory. (thus the song’s title, “neon gravestones”).

“what’s my problem? Don’t get it twisted, it’s with the people we praise who many have assisted” emphasis on the people who praise celebrities more when they die.

“Don’t get me wrong the rise in awareness is beating a stigma that no longer scares us. But for sake of discussion, in spirit of fairness, could we give this some room for a new point of view?” He’s talking about how our reactions towards admitting we’re sick and have a mental illness has become less and less concerned because of how common it’s become, allowing people to think that it’s just something they have to live with, or rather, die from. He’s asking that we change the way we treat the issue.

“Find your grandparents or someone of age. Pay some respects for the path that they paved.
To life they were dedicated.
Now that should be celebrated”
Tyler is saying that instead of celebrating those that took the easy and more harmful way out, we should praise those who continued through their struggles to stay alive. He wants us to appreciate those who persevered.

So friends, stay alive :)
