Released in 2011 on their self-titled album, "Kitchen Sink" is a song that showcases the deep and introspective writing style of Tyler Joseph. The lyrics are filled with metaphors and imagery, making it open to interpretation for each listener. The title itself is a metaphor, with the kitchen sink representing all the thoughts and emotions that are constantly swirling around in one's mind. The song starts with the line "Nobody thinks what I think", which sets the tone for the rest of the track. One of the standout lines in the song is "You don't know what I've done, I'm wanted and on the run". This line speaks to the feeling of being misunderstood and constantly trying to run away from one's past. It's a relatable sentiment for many young adults who are trying to find their place in the world.Kitchen Sink - Twenty One Pilots (Lyrics)
