“Redecorate,” the closing track on "Scaled And Icy", tells the story of three people and the thoughts that go through their heads before they die as they worry about the impact this will have on their families. These worries are symbolized by the future purpose of their bedrooms and as the characters will not be using them anymore, they feel the urge to tie up loose ends before they leave, something that can be applied to both personal belongings and emotional unfinished business.
Frontman Tyler Joseph shared that “Redecorate” was inspired by an actual scenario where a friend of his preserved the room for their son who passed away, and that its message is important to him.
Tyler Joseph:
"'I had a friend of mine whose son passed away and they would keep his room the same way that he had left it. I remember thinking how crazy powerful a story that is, and how it makes me wonder, like, ‘What will people do with my stuff?’ It can actually bring you back down to earth, make sure that you don’t make any horrible decisions. I’m realizing now how difficult it is to talk about, but this song is really important to me. I love the messaging of it, and I hope that our fans hear what it is I’m trying to say in it. Because it is a bit delicate, but it’s one of my favorite tracks and it’s pretty powerful if you let it.'”
