The meaning of Kitchen sink twenty one pilots

[vantebrb]

Interviewer: wow
Tyler: Yeah, sorry...

me: dON'T BE SORRY HONEY THAT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE HEARD

[rraindown]

I guess you could say that their music is our kitchen sink

[madthehuman]

Tyler even said "sorry" at the end. my smol bean

[Chanchit_a]

I just fucking love Tyler, is just such a good person to this shitty world

[Dastielever]

It breaks my heart that he had to go through the depression and suicidal thoughts, all I want to do is take away their pain, insecurities, and anxiety like they did for me. They saved me, they made me realize that I'm not alone. I don't think I can love and care for two people I have never met but one day I will. I'm glad I found these two and I'm glad I have such a great community like the Clique surrounding me. Stay Alive, Frens it's worth it. |-/

[ajrsilv]

This is why I love tøp :'v

Stay alive

Here's the story of the Kitchen Sink. So basically Tyler was washing dishes one day, then a bubble floated up and popped in his eye. It stung a little but he didn't think much of it. But he wasn't washing the dishes in the kitchen sink. It was the bathroom sink. The problem was, his kitchen sink was broken. Tyler had lost hope in ever getting it fixed until one day, someone came knocking at his door. When he went to go open it, No one was there, but they left a note. The note read, "Everything will be okay in the end, and if isn't okay, it isn't the end." Tyler thought about this for a long time. Then it hit him. The kitchen sink was never broken. The problem was the knobs to turn on the water were jammed. So Tyler had them removed and had the sink fixed. Moral of the story: Too much effort was put into a meaningless comment.

Since no one has seemed to add this yet, I'm going to give you guys a bonus definition of Kitchen Sink: (trigger warning)
There's a method of suicide where one end of a rope is tied to a kitchen sink faucet, and the other gets tied around the neck... the person then stands and leans forward. Since the sink is held in place by the counter, the person's body weight acts against them and will either break their neck or suffocate them to kill them. I know this because I was going to try it. The rope was tied and I'd said my goodbyes, but something made me stop. I'd like to think it was God but I don't know. Like I said something made me stop and I broke down. That was three years ago. Now I'm working towards my dreams and happy with my life.
I have never related to a song so much in my life and I know without a doubt Tyler went through the same experience because knowing him and his music. .. I can't think of a more pivotal thing that would have happened at a kitchen sink.

I'M NOT CRYING I PROMISE DAMN ONION NINJAS

You don't have to apologize Tyler! It's meaning is your business, and you don't have to tell us. 
So lyrically, is it "at" or "I'm"...? I'm fairly sure it's "I'm" but I've seen it both ways... Personally, until I hear him say otherwise, I think it's "I'm, " because to me, the song is about finding out who you are as an individual and accepting who you are, and so saying "I'm a kitchen sink, you don't know what that means, because a kitchen sink to you, is not a kitchen sink to me, " is like saying "I am me, you may not understand what makes me who I am, but that's ok." If that makes sense... I have a hard time putting what's in my head to words sometimes... So I'm kind of hoping it's "I'm a kitchen sink, " because if it's really "at my kitchen sink, " that kind of changes my interpretation of the song a bit... I want to ask Tyler about it some day, but at the same time, I kind of don't, because I don't want my interpretation of it to change...

WHEN HE APOLOGISED AT THE END THATS JUST CUTE OH MY GOD

[mackenziehargis]

Kitchen sink is a song I can listen to on repeat for days cause it has such a deep meaning. Like he said a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me. I guess for myself, a ring box (the little cardboard box with the foam holder) to you, is not a ring box to me. That ring box didn't give me that main purpose to stay alive during my darkest hour, but it helped me/is helping me get through my darkest hour that feels like and eternity

[gracieramsay]

I AM SO FUCKING EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW HOW DID I EVEN END UP ON THIS VIDEO TYLER FUCKING JOSEPH IS BY FAR THE MOST UNDERSTANDING, AND CUTEST HUMANS ON THIS PLANET (besides Josh) I AM IN TEARS WATCHING HOLY SHIT

[ninam]

2:17 "heh.. sorry" hes too smol for this world

[zackthehack]

I'm using this explanation in an autobiography for my english project, it's too good to leave out

[Mal-mqfr]

I love that he just straight up talks about depression and suicide and feeling like there's no reason to stay alive. He is just so REAL. We love you |-/

[hallec]

My eye are just sweating it's okay I'm n-not c-crying or anything. Have you ever heard a lyric and thought
"Wow I want that tattooed on me" 😂

[franoi]

To meet ppl like this in the music industry nowadays is very rare and it’s sad that he has to apologize at the end for being soo real, so authentic and to identify what a lot of ppl think or feel.
Instead hearing about meaningless shit is what is ok. This is why I love twenty one pilots.

[SirRainor]

Tyler, thank you for making this song, kitchen sink, its really beautiful for me. I'm already over that point of searching for meaning for my life. when its just too painful to be around then it doesn't matter anymore whats the purpose of my life. But don't worry, everyone, I'm not gonna give up, bc it's selfish towards to people to whom I matter.
My cousin committed suicide and I saw everybody and I saw shocked as well, and I don't want them to go through it again. I'm not gonna be that selfish....

[autumnstyles]

why do I love Tyler voice even when he's just talking it's so calming and mesmerizing
