Tyler has spoken about this song being a tribute to those of which who dig into the album and really analyze the whole thing. He knew when he wrote it that all of the lyrics would come naturally to the listener, given that they had followed the album’s narrative up until that point.
"I think of taking that inevitable fact that we’re going to die and realizing I have a body, I have a life, I have a voice, its kind of a vessel that really kind of holds something. A vessel I think of maybe a ship or a container. And the vessels not that important, my body’s not that important, my voice isn't that important, the songs aren't that important, my life isn't really that important, but the important thing is what’s inside that vessel. Right now I have.. I have a message.. I have something to say, what I’m saying is the important thing inside of that vessel and I thought it would be cool to name an album vessel because even inside that packaging, behind that cover… there’s a message. And thanks for listening to that message and I hope that it in some way inspires you and encourages because if it does then everything will have been worth it for me." – via Tyler Joseph’s YouTube track by track analysis of Vessel.
