Kitchen Sink By Twenty One Pilots

“Are you searching for purpose? Then write something yeah it might be wordless. Paint something, it might be wordless. Pointless curses nonsense verses. You’ll see purpose start to surface, no one else is dealing with your demons, meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning of your meaning, friend.” These lyrics come from the song, “Kitchen Sink” by Twenty One Pilots.

For example, the song “Isle of Flightless Birds” by Twenty One Pilots makes me question why us humans do what we do. “All we are is an isle of flightless birds, we find our worth in giving birth and stuff, we're lining our homes against winding roads and we think the going is tough.” The lyrics here mean that we’re just aimless people with the same routines.

You're my pride and joy, you're my pride and joy. Get up Johnny boy because we all need you now.” This means that when you’re feeling sad, someone that cares about you will want you to “get up” because they don’t want to see you like this, they want you to be happy. He will realize that he’s important to at least one person. Therefore, music assists you to get back on your feet and continue
