Twenty One Pilots: March to the Sea Meaning

March to the Sea Lyrics

There's miles of land in front of us
And we're dying with every step we take
We're dying with every breath we make
And I'll fall in line

A stranger's back is all I see
He's only a few feet in front of me
And I'll look left and right...

   I believe the song is about how hard we try to break free from society's expectations of life, but we will always "be put in our place" meaning society doesn't want us to change the rules of life... How we should follow the people in front of us without asking to change. How we should never share our thoughts into the open and keep pondering them inside. Because we know society will not accept it. That all is the meaning of the "line" also known at the march to the sea. What i understood is that society wants us tp get through life without purpose, without changing the way of life. So we move on and die without care. I believe the spaceship telling him to follow him is his brilliant inner thoughts of changing life forever to make things easier or different for people. But because of society, people didn't accept his thoughts; so then he was put back in line to continue the life cycle of nothingness. If you made it this far... Thanks for reading.

   I think the ending means
   
   he will be feeling the same way he did before
   so he will back in a march to the sea

   Idk really I think it's about life and mental illness but the ending confuses me. So the line is people with mental illness and the ocean is death. Or another way to see it is that the line is society and the ocean is death.. again. Towards the end tho, it talks about the voice saying to follow it, so he does but then it saying the voice "puts me back in my place so I might start another day. And once again I will be in a march to the sea." So does that mean he is still in the line or that he left it because I'm confused.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   Does it have anything to do with the historical ''Sherman's March to the Sea??''
