Cover art for Truce lyrics by Twenty One Pilots

I always saw this song as if it was written in the POV of someone who had a suicidal loved one.

[Now the night is coming to an end The sun will rise and we will try again] Someone special to them has tried to commit suicide, and they are now recovering

[Stay alive, stay alive for me] Pleading them not to end their life.

[You will die, but now your life is free] We all eventually die, but right now, you're alive. You are free and have your future ahead of you.

[Take pride in what is sure to die] Again, we all die. Take pride in who you are, and don't let your life go to waste.

[I will fear the night again] Fearing that they will take make another suicide attempt

[I hope I'm not my only friend] If they commit suicide, they will be alone without them.
