| I think that this is a great pilot song. Get it? Haha. Anyways, it talks about what Tyler and his band represents and also what his whole band sings about: Asking God to show them a sign that He exists and loves them, even through depression. | |

| @[ginnyboy:8249] I think that what he meant was about the third commandment. "Thou shall not use the Lord's name in vain." He hears people saying it all the time, so why is it a sin? | |

|
The air begins to feel a little thin As I start the car and then I begin To add the miles piled up behind me I barely feel a smile deep inside me And I begin to envy the headlights driving south I want to crack the door so I can just fall out But then I remember when you packed my car You reached in the back and buckled up your heart For me to drive away with I began to understand Why God died The demon sat there waiting on her porch It was a little dark so he held a makeshift torch And when my car was far out of sight He crept in her room and stayed there for the night [2x] And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game And then I saw him, torch in hand He laid it out, what he had planned And then I said, I'll take the grave Please, just send them all my way I began to understand Why God died The air begins to feel a little thin As we're waiting for the morning to begin But for now you told me to hold this jar And when I looked inside, I saw It held your heart For me to walk away with I began to understand Why God died I feel like this song is about Tyler, or an ambiguous narrator, moving to college. I am assuming that just because he said the back is packed. He truly will miss his family and he wants to go back, but he will also finally being able to live life on the edge. Thus, "I barely feel a smile deep inside me." But of course, his mom had given him her wisdom, memories, and sacrifices. These made him understand the sacrifices that his mom made and how they corresponded to Jesus dying on the cross. Meanwhile, his mom is weeping about how her son is moving away. She watches him go happily, but then breaks down when he leaves her forever, or at least for longer than ever, several months. Now, the ambiguous narrator is driving away and he is confronted with the demon that tortured his mother. He realized that the relationship with his mother is more important than going to college and getting a degree. He wants to be closer to the people he loves. He gives up his life in college to go back with his lonely mother. He gave up his worldly pleasure to spend time with his mother, a Christ figure, who had given up everything for us. Matthew 6:24 says, "Then Jesus told his disciples, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'" The narrator is now with his mom, as Tyler is with Jesus. |
