@[tiff_rox:27073] I mean yeah I guess that’d make sense too but for me it’s definitely about a breakup. Just because someone leaves you doesn’t mean they’re gone but still in a sense you’re left feeling alone. A painful mistake is what caused the breakup but the sign that they’re with you being they still want to keep you around as friends or whatever but either way you’re torn between hope and being dragged back into the reality that they’re never coming back So I guess your interpretation is that it means a person is gone but it feels like they’re still around whereas mine is that someone is still around but it feels like they’re gone |

| Twenty One Pilots – A Car, a Torch, a Death Lyrics | 8 years ago |

While 21 pilots does have a lot of songs about their faith a good number of those songs can be interpreted to show their struggles in keeping their faith and I think this is one of those songs and here's why... 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 (He begins to reminisce on where he came from and how much comfort it gave him) 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 (he is tempted to follow a different path but the memories of a loved one who cared a lot about them and their religious security bring him back to grips with his own beliefs) For me to drive away with I began to understand Why God died (He remembers that even though his thoughts may have been sinful Jesus died for just that reason) 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 (He's visiting the person he loved possibly when they're sick or on their death bed and he feels an ominous atmosphere but he assumes it's just the grief of losing someone) 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 (Later on he is surprised to discover the ominous feeling hasn't left that it's somewhere inside himself It tells him that he is not meant to follow the path that he is currently walking) 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 (He confronts his innermost thoughts tries his hardest to make sense of them all and once he has it all laid out in front of him he chooses to give up his religion which initially feels like a condemnation and he is expecting to be ridiculed by the masses) I began to understand Why God died (This time he is referring to Nietzsche's saying of God is dead) 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 (He feels very numb and lost without his religion to fall back on especially in this moment with his dying loved one where they give him wishes of religious blessings not knowing what is going on inside of him And he feels a sense of guilt knowing how much that person cares about him) For me to walk away with I began to understand Why God died (But still he can't force himself to come to a different conclusion and this moment solidifies the death of his religion) |
