The "don't leave me alone" just sounds so broken and it just hits me so hard, and hits home for me
Alexis Doyle tbh Im not overreacting or anything But Im crying atm and this song describes my feelings rn especislly “dont leave me alone”

Noah Christiansen I totally get that, it just hits you and it's so special because of that
Agree it really is the point in this song I just fold and connect with...
It's what everyone says but we're all just waiting for someone to realise we're lying.
I like to call this song “Tyler does the pretty scream”
Lol I love u
DoN't LeT mE bE gOnE
Oops wrong song
but lets be real they're all pretty screams
i see u everywhere
Dr: you have 5 min and 34 secs left to live.... Me: Alexa play Kitchen Sink.
Regional at best is one of the rarest albums
meeeeee
Fenia Ride add a little more seconds since it’s gonna take time for you to say, “Alex play Kitchen Sink.”
It doesn’t work :( I said play kitchen sink and she played “Peeing in the kitchen sink”
@@ajadam9084 yeah it's not even on Spotify ; (
I looked up what kit hen sink psychology means and it says it's from a quote: “You’d be surprised how much your kitchen sink is like psychology. You dump your feelings into your own “psychology”, and sometimes the memories pile up like dirty dishes.”
bruh I figured this out on my own while laying in bed and crying myself to sleep. Plus I was going to put this in a comment too but I decided to respect Tyler and not spill his secret
Karma Trevino what if That’s by what a kitchen sink is to Tyler though? He could think of a kitchen sink as a fren🙂🤠😂
Aaaand you cracked the meaning
nice! makes perfect sense to me
Okay, I can't sit by without commenting on this anymore. A kitchen sink is intentionally left unknowable because by doing so, it becomes a symbol for subjectivity itself. It's part of the broader argument of the song that 1. our experiences are unique, therefore 2. a human is unique, and therefor 3. has inherent worth. If a kitchen sink is just something you can just google, then uh... by this logic, we're all no more valuable than a few lines on the internet. And that seems kinda terrible... Luckily, Tyler's right. Experience is subjective. And we have *no idea* what he's been through.
Lyric: Nobody thinks what I think Nobody dreams when they blink Think things on the brink of blasphemy I'm my own shrink Think things are after me, my catastrophe 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, okay, friend? Are you searching for purpose? Then write something, yeah it might be worthless Then paint something then, 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 Go away Go away Go away Go away Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Nobody thinks what you think, no one Empathy might be on the brink of extinction They will play a game and say They know what you're going through And I tried to come up with an artistic way to say They don't know you, and neither do I So here's a prime example of a stand up guy Who hates what he believes and loves it at the same time Here's my brother and his head's screwed up But that's alright Time gains momentum the moment when I'm living in 'em I'm winning a momentary sinning a moment passing after A re-beginning moments mending memories Pretending enemies are friend of me, sending me straight to bending me My bad behavior but I bet I could have been a better man Copy and paste caught me, and copy, better rhymes bother me The better the rhythm the badder I am but I bet I'll battle with 'em battle Better I am, gambling man, better bet I am a gambling man, I am? Go away Go away Go away Go away Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Leave me alone Don't leave me alone Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Your picture disturbs me stranger
At my kitchen sink. Not I'm a
@Nathan Mull see I thought that aswell but in a recent interview he revealed that being AT HIS kitchen sink because he tried to hang himself at his kitchen sink. That's why a kitchen sink to him is not a kitchen sink to us.
Nathan Mull the fact you said “oh rip” makes me mad. This amazing man tried to hang himself and you say “oh rip”. Imagine if he had gone through with it. Imagine that. Then it wouldn’t be “oh rip” would it? Sorry that choice of words just threw me off 😕

Regional at Best - Topic Okay! Well, thank you for doing this. As a newer fan who didn't get to experience this amazing album when it came out, it made it easy to find and possible to enjoy. This song in particular means a lot to me now.
Glad I could help

aaaa I accidentally pressed the dislike button on ur comment but corrected it yay
Yes. No other reason. B)
coming back to twenty one pilots in 2024.. it’s a full circle moment. i clung to this band like my life source in middle school, then high school came and i pretended to be someone i wasn’t. now i’m back here, it’s been about 7 years, and this album still brings forward so many emotions for me. truly, many of these songs encouraged me to stay alive even on the darkest of days, to look back on this now is almost bittersweet. these songs remind me of that time when i was defeated, but now i’m doing better than i ever could have imagined. thank you tyler joseph for expressing yourself through your art, many of your fans found immense comfort in your vulnerability and hardship. this music will always have a special place in my heart, no matter how old i get, a part of me will always be that 12 year old kid with the weight of the world on their shoulders. |-/
I wish you nothing but the best |-/
Felt that ❤
i think the two kids wearing blue represent something. I noticed on the album cover, the two kids wearing blue are on the side of the field were all the other kids are wearing red. I think it represents that they had a hard time growing up, and they weren't on the right track. if you listen to "Slowtown" You get what im saying. Or they could be playin basbell
Probs baseball, since the 2 blue kids are on base
I mean they obviously were playing baseball but I’m confused with the cover
It's his big brother playing little league. If it's symbolic, it's a symbol for nostalgia, not an analogy.
Evan Zoric 😱woah you could be onto something! Lmao I’ve listened to it a couple times and I think you could be right
Evan Zoric same colors of the |-/ on the cover
okay heavydirtysoul might be hard to rap but when the words are emotionally heavy it makes it really hard for you to say like in idk... kitchen sink.
Me trying to rap this: Meddle battle me bull rhymes batter better by bother me the better battle bettle metter copy paste uhhhhh... the bettle badder I am gambling man... better beddd.... I am?
That is exactly what i was doing
Got the first part down but definitely cant keep up... i start singing gibberish

WOW THIS IS ALMOST LIKE AN OFFICIAL VERSION WTF
I hate to burst your bubble, but this isn't an official topic channel- it's some person who's trying to make it look like one. It's not auto-generated. Sadly, there is no official audio on KZhead for any RAB songs.

they should add regional at best to spotyfy
They can't. The album was only released in 2011 and then it was heavily colyrighted to post to anything
U spelled Spotify wrong
your mom no duh
on a loop, cant stop crying, tyler has saved so many of us.
Yo I feel like Josh dosent get noticed much I mean Tyler is my favorite but I feel bad for Josh without josh's drumming idk where tøp would be but idk where tøp could be without Tyler so they are like peanut butter and jelly idk but I feel like Josh dosent get credited much
Raspy TOP is Tyler he is the lyrics BUT Josh is what he needed to move forward and fits him like a glove allowing it all to work. Just watch the studio acoustic version of Addict with a pen and try to imagine anyone playing drums with Tyler ...it won’t work. That’s why it TOP at that point and not just Tyler
Raspy same
I don't like jelly.
Sarah Settlemyer i don't like peanutbutter
Josh didnt played the drums in Kitchen Sink or any song on Regional at Best
This song saved my life, it's powerful. Even the part at 4:00 when Tyler screams, I felt all the pain that he had felt. This song makes cry me when I hear it. Reminds me of my demons and the things that are in my head. But it reminds me to stay alive |-/

RalphsGallery thank you
If this isn't playing at my funeral, then I haven't died. ❤ My favorite song ever is Car Radio. Today when I listened to this, It has been the first time ever, that Car Radio has EVER been rivaled for the title of: "My favorite song ever" 🥹
This was the first Tøp song I ever listened to :)
Floofy Hair Lyrics sameeee.
Floofy Hair Lyrics same
Floofy Hair Lyrics I came to tøp from Ride and then I found Taxi Cab in my recommended videos in like, December of last year and I fell in love with that. Then after that I decided I would listen to every tøp album, (even NPI, although that's Tyler and not tøp) and now I'm just here waiting for Trench. Gosh I love this clique and this band. ll-//

Laura Beth came from stressed out back in 2016 and I listened to all their music too and I stuck around

I remember coming home from school when I was sad and I’d listen to this song🙂
Man, it’s been a while since I last listened to this song. Easily one of my faves

Thomas Jefferson try 2x
4:12 how does he even scream this awesome for 7 seconds?!
Regional is the best
I was zoning out in class and I got to 3:47 and i felt chills go down my spine when I listened to the screaming part. You can hear Tyler begging to not be alone and how much emotion is put into this song.. this 👏 is 👏 so👏 sad👏
I think there is a mandela effect because I remember this kid having a baseball bat on their shoulder.. anyone else remember that ??????? Cus I swear they had one
BRUUUUUUH YES
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
WTH YES OMG
SAME
RELEASE IT ON ITUNES/SPOTIFY TYLER !
I think we've all had our Kitchen Sink moment.
I swear to God listening to kitchen sink is a whole experience. Can't really put it into words. The emotions i feel while listening to this masterpiece
Lyrically and musically amazing tbh. Favorite song by top.
I was developing with depression... I finally got over by listening to twenty one pilots Just thank you for making these songs
Me too I get that
I love how in the description, when it's performance, it says "Joshua Dun" 😂
thederekjohnson oof lol
This so sad but beautiful if that's even possibly possible ❤❤❤❤
They need to bring this back in their rotation or make it a single.
rip kitchen sink lyrics video, at least this is still up
4:02 Woah! Dude, calm down! Lol
In 20 years this is going to be nostalgic af
underrated. that’s all
OH MY GOD THE KITCHEN SINK LYRICS VIDEO WENT DOWN >:((
God i still think he is singing this right after he had a breakdown or stopped crying..this song is honestly the best song i have ever heard. He sings so beautifully
such a classic what can i even say :(
When he screams “Don’t leave me alone” it hits home for me.. When he says leave me alone he is talking to his inner demons, but people thing he means them. So in desperation he screams “DON’T LEAVE ME ALONE!”
For anyone who wants to to learn how to rap this, listen until you know all of the lyrics by heart, and attempt to rap at normal speed. It is probably kind difficult. Turn up the speed to 2x and attempt that. after a few tries, go back to normal speed. It should now seem much easier. IDK that's how I learned it
Zack held a bat. I promise.
i forget how beautiful this song is. it’s crazy.
This song will always be a classic.
Here's what Tyler says about the bands logo: “It means Twenty One Pilots, the logo does. Why it means Twenty One Pilots, is it really goes along with one of our songs called "Kitchen Sink". The whole concept of that song is that I feel that humans are always struggling all the time when it comes to purpose, trying to figure out what their purpose is, what purpose even is, what's the point, justifying your own existence. A lot of kids and people my age struggle with "what's the point", and with the logo, what it really means is it's an encouragement. When someone asks me what the logo means to me, the logo means something to me because I made it mean something to me. That's the point. The point is that I created something that only I understand and whether or not I decide to disclose the meaning of it, that's the beginning of purpose for me. The meaning of purpose for me, is by creating something, if it be by writing lyrics, painting a picture, by expressing yourself through art if it's photography or music or theater, or whatever it is. It doesn't have to be artistic, but if you create something and only you know the meaning of it, that's the beginning of purpose for you. When you're in the room by yourself trying to decide whether to stay alive, you can tell yourself "I should probably stay alive because I'm the only one who knows the meaning of that thing", so the logo is an encouragement for people to create. That's what it means.” Tyler is one of the smartest and philosophical people in history, bro
I just imagined Blurryface yelling the last "Leave me alone!" and then my brain cut to Tyler in his jumpsuit with colorful tears streaming down his face (like the art work of the self titled album) while he screams "DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!" Now I'm SHOOKETH.
thats a great idea of a drawing :0
Godly album cover
Tyler’s brother should have his own band
his bro was sick
its a sad time that this isnt on spotify i just wanted to listen to this sooo badly
This is only one of the best songs ever created. No big deal :)
I just.. I haven't listened to this in so long and I forgot how hard the "Don't leave me alone" hit me.
*His brother should be in the band*
Kitchen Sink ~ Lyrics ~ Twenty One Pilots [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1: Tyler Joseph] Nobody thinks what I think Nobody dreams when they blink Think things on the brink of blasphemy I'm my own shrink Think things are after me, my catastrophe At my kitchen sink You don't know what that means Because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me Okay, friend? Are you searching for purpose? Then write something, yeah it might be worthless Then paint something, and 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 [Chorus: Tyler] Go away, go away, go away, go away Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone [Verse 2: Tyler] Nobody thinks what you think, no one Empathy might be on the brink of extinction They will play a game and say they know what you're going through And I tried to come up with an artistic way to say they don't know you And neither do I, so here's a prime example of a stand up guy who Hates what he believes and loves it at the same time Here's my brother, and his head's screwed up, but that's all right [Bridge: Zack Joseph] Time gains momentum the moment when I'm living in 'em I'm winning a momentary sinning a moment passing after A re-beginning moments mending memories Pretending enemies are frenemies, sending me straight to bending me My bad behavior but I bet I could have been a better man Copy and paste caught me, and copy, better rhymes bother me The better the rhythm the badder I am but I bet I'll battle with 'em battle Better I am, gambling man, better bet I am a gambling man, I am? [Chorus: Tyler] Go away, go away, go away, go away Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone [Outro: Tyler] Leave me alone Don't leave me alone Courtesy of Genius.com ~ genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-kitchen-sink-lyrics
I don't know if this is true or not but I read somewhere what the meaning of this song is. Tyler said that the band symbol I-/ is supposed to mean kitchen sink. I was so confused until I learned that there is a way to hang yourself by tying the noose to the kitchen sink and leaning forward. That's like I is the sink, - is the rope, and / is Tyler. Dark but it might work. "Because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me."
This song, and honestly all of early tøp and Tyler’s old solo music, changed meaning for me but it’s always been so significant I was in 5th grade when I found their music. I was obsessed, it was the only thing I talked about. Back then it was just music that sounded nice. Now? Now it’s nostalgia. It’s what I use when I want to go back.
The "Leave me alone" at 4:00 broke my heart
This songs saved me.
OMIJISHWA THEY JUST BLOCKED THAT OTHER KITCHEN SINK VID AGAAAAIIINNNN
Four years later
I swear to god WBM Don’t come after this one.
They seriously might, and if they do, i'd recommend just downloading the album online.

If a fever you can't sweat out is on spotify then so can regional at best
This voy knows of music
what
ikr!
Why can't y'all make this kind of music again 😢😢😢
I still can't wrap my mind around how beautiful this song is. I remember having to use generators to rip it off of a single youtube link to put it on my iPod in 2011 and hearing it live on the ERS tour was nothing short of amazing. Better yet, it was the first night and no one knew it was going to happen. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped beating when it first came on. Ugh. I love this song so much.
I've never heard something more lyrically beautiful, tbh.
I cry every time I listen to this
so i am a huuuuge fan of twenty one pilots, and i had heard of this song so much, but it wasn't on spotify, so i was super confused. well, i looked it up on here, listened to it once, and instantly fell in love with it. this song is so deep and underappreciated, every fan needs to hear this. stay alive frens |-/
this was me as well, returned to check on the rab songs but they're still hidden from the world :(
Duele saber que en spotify no está esta joyita
I love this song, I think that is one of the most personal Tyler's thoughs, and it really inspired me to show my art when I was thinking that everebody would hate me because of how I draw. And if it were not for this song i would not have the friends that I have now. That's why I love Twenty One Pilots.
In a perfect world TOP plays this at the AMAs out of nowhere and blows everyone’s mind then a billion people discover this awesome song years later :-))
YESSS
"Nobody thinks what I think" and "leave me alone" are the number one lines I relate to the most
no matter how hard I try I can't rap as good as Zack. Beyond amazing of a song though
THAT ONE DISLIKE >:I
Me: its 1 am what am i doing with my life? Brain: play kitchen sink on repeat 4:01 *sobs uncontrollably*
Does anyone else hold their breathe when he changes from leave me alone to don’t leave me alone and then after he hits that release and listen to the rest of the song in bliss
i want this on itunes bye
The 74 dislikes are people who are homeless and don’t have kitchen sinks
Tyler’s vocals are freaking angelic
Every “go away” and “leave me alone” gives me a satisfied good feeling Tyler’s voice is so beautiful and amazing I am so thankful to be in the same timeline as twenty øne piløts
*I REALLY wanna know what happened to Tyler at the kitchen sink..... I wish he would tell us*
best song ever
Kitchen sink will always be my favorite song on Regional At Best
This song slaps. I fricken love it so much
Rap Level : IMPOSSIBLE
emo frens I can rap this
IT'S BACK
This song hits me at the most deep gut level! It is so raw and without ego.
This song helped me through some of the worst times in my life
This song saved my life. Literally. As Tyler sings "Don't Leave Me Alone," he looks so broken. Every time I cry when I hear this. It reminds me of my demons, my depression, my mutilations and I feel like... less alone, like I feel Tyler next to me, a reassuring presence even if his voice sounds so heartbreaking. Since I know Twenty One Pilots I realized how bad I was, I realized that what I felt was more than sadness or anger, it was more like what Tyler expresses in his songs, depression. Stay Alive |-/
Jamás pensé que esta canción fuera una joya. Necesito una remasterización de Kitchen Sink, es increíble.
The true meaning of this song is truly depressing the fact that he is referring to in the lyrics in the song “I’m at my kitchen sink you don’t know what that means because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen to me okay friend?” That is referring to the time he attempted to kill himself at his kitchen sink I’m surprised a lot of people didn’t notice this but for those who didn’t know here is the true meaning
Here in 2024... this is still one of my favs
I like that ritme sooooo mutch. Its like the song 'trees' that have a great ritme to.
It has been sooooooo long since I first heard this song. It was on the radio and that was how I was introduced to twenty one pilots. I don’t listen to them much anymore but memories.
