| Twenty One Pilots – A Car, a Torch, a Death Lyrics

I see this as him leaving a loved one for the last time as they are in the final stages of dying or just passed. Once on the road he is overcome with grief and considers killing himself, but then sees god. God explains that he has a plan for everyone and the death was part of it. The narrator asks god to take him instead, which is why "he understands why God died." |

| Twenty One Pilots – Oh, Ms. Believer Lyrics

I see this song as coping with uncertainty (in Tyler's case possibly religion) and misbelief. Sorting through doubt and questions with no answers is a slow and arduous process, and can feel like walking through thick snow. As you get older these fears and uncertainties don't go away, but rather increase in number. Hence, as we grow older, we get colder. |
