Dear God...
This song is not strictly about "a guy who gets severely injured in a car accident, then is saved by paramedics and finds himself questioning the validity of his life"... and I can guarantee you its not about "how awesome paramedics are".
The entire song is a metaphor. Artist and creator... same thing. When anyone says "the creator".. its safe to say they are referring to God. He uses paramedics because of the symbolism they bring of existing to help others when others cant help themselves; which is ultimately Gods role in our lives.
The crash itself stands for any hard time in our lives that hits us hard and make us question if life is even worth continuing. This is why we need a "paramedic" to save us.
Thrice doesn't declare themselves as a Christian band, but the fact that Dustin is a devout follower is going to show through his music. Just as Christian bands will often have one or two songs on their album that don't necessarily relate to Christianity, bands that declare themselves secular should have the freedom to write a song about God, if its what is inspiring them at the time, without their song being slaughtered by interpretations guessing that it relates to how the music industry is dying.
