Lore & Background
The "Jumpsuit" music video opens on the smoldering car from the "Heavydirtysoul" video, which catches fire. In a valley, people in yellow-taped outfits watch Tyler Joseph from the clifftops while a red-hooded bishop on a white stallion pursues him and coats his neck in black paint. The people in yellow toss petals that break his trance, but he trips while running and is captured. The video ends back at the burning car, where Joseph takes a yellow jumpsuit from the back, puts it on and walks away.
