[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]
[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]


We all are stranger creatures than when we all started out as kids
Nobody thinks what I think


Culture forbids
Nobody dreams when they blink


We have romantic fantasies about what dying truly is
Think things on the brink of blasphemy


Fall off the grid
I'm my own shrink


[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Think things are after me, I'm my catastrophe


We live for the night's decor
At my kitchen sink


It reveals what we dream of
You don't know what that means


[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Because a kitchen sink to you is not a kitchen sink to me


I know there's someone at the door
Okay, friend?


They called for help, of this I'm sure
Are you searching for purpose?


But do I want to say goodbye
Then write something, yeah, it might be worthless


To all the glowing eyes?
Then paint something, and it might be wordless


I'm holding on to what I know
Pointless curses, nonsense verses


And what I know, I must let go
You'll see purpose start to surface


But I would rather play a song
No one else is dealing with your demons


For the eyes to sing along
Meaning maybe defeating them could be the beginning


[Post-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
Of your meaning, friend


La, la, da, da
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
 
La, la, da, da, da
 
La, la, da, da
 
La, la, da (The eyes to sing along)
 
La, la, da, da (Long)
 
La, la, da, da, da (Long)
 
La, la, da, da


La, la, da
Go away, go away


[Interlude: Tyler Joseph ''with James Truslow'']
Go away, go away


''Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh''
Leave me alone, leave me alone


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Leave me alone, leave me alone


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Leave me alone


Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Leave me alone


[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph & James Truslow]
Leave me alone


We all know somebody who knows somebody who's doing great
[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph]


I know some people who know people who are flying straight
Nobody thinks what you think, no one


But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression
Empathy might be on the brink of extinction


While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again
They will play a game


[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
And say they know what you're going through


We live for the night's decor
And I tried to come up with an artistic way to say


It reveals what we dream of
They don't know you


[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
And neither do I


I know there's someone at the door
So here's a prime example of a stand-up guy who


They called for help, of this I'm sure
Hates what he believes and loves it at the same time


But do I want to say goodbye
Here's my brother


To all the glowing eyes?
And his head's screwed up, but that's all right


I'm holding on to what I know
[Bridge: Zack Joseph]


And what I know, I must let go
Time gains momentum the moment when I'm living in 'em


But I would rather play a song
I'm winning a momentary, sinning a moment passing after


For the eyes to sing along
A re-beginning moment's mending memories


[Bridge: Tyler Joseph ''with James Truslow'']
Pretending enemies are friends of me


This room is far too dark for us to stay around
Sending me straight to bending me


Redemption's not that far, and darkness is going down
My bad behavior but I bet I could have been a better man


''This room is far too dark, for us to stay around''
Copy and paste caught me, and copy, better rhymes bother me


''Redemption's not that far, and darkness is going down''
The better the rhythm, the badder I am


La, la, da, da
But I bet I'll battle with 'em battle


La, la, da, da, da
Better I am, gamblin' man, better bet I am a gambling man, I am?
 
La, la, da, da
 
La, la, da, da
 
La, la, da, da
 
La, la, da, da, da
 
La, la, da, da
 
La, la, da


[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]
[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]


I'm holding on to what I know
Go away, go away


And what I know, I must let go
Go away, go away


But I would rather play a song
Leave me alone, leave me alone


For the eyes to sing along
Leave me alone, leave me alone


[Outro: Tyler Joseph]
[Outro: Tyler Joseph]


Their eyes will sing along, long, long
Leave me alone!
 
Don't leave me alone!


Make them stop
Oh


Make them stop
Oh


Make them stop
Oh


Make them stop
Oh


Make them stop
Oh

|With an interesting, upbeat instrumental, Tyler delivers his vocals on “Glowing Eyes” in a similarly cheerful manner. The lyrics however tell a much darker story.
|When asked about the famous symbol that has come to represent the band, '''<nowiki>|-/</nowiki>''', frontman Tyler Joseph told interviewers that the meaning of that symbol has a lot to do with “Kitchen Sink,” an extremely important song to him.
The song explores topics such as sociology, depression, apathy, and the alluring pull that the idea of death can have on an individual. The “glowing eyes” seem to represent a form of negativity of which the narrator is reluctant to let go of (addiction). This wish for the preservation of those things that cause our sadness may seem strange, but is actually rather common among the depressed.
"Something happened to me at a kitchen sink. There was something I realized. That song ‘Kitchen Sink’ and that reference means something to me. But if I were to tell you exactly what that meant, those times where I need the motivation to continue forward, I wouldn’t have that as part of my motivation. In my darkest hour, when I’m trying to figure out what to do with myself, there’s that thing, that song…If I were to no longer continue forward, there would be no one there to explain this thing. I will not tell you what a kitchen sink is to me because it represents something that only I understand." [https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-kitchen-sink-lyrics <nowiki>[2]</nowiki>]
 
Regardless of the rumors, Josh Dun is ''not'' singing the backup vocals on this track. It was confirmed that the credit belongs to James Truslow, an old friend of Tyler’s.[https://genius.com/Twenty-one-pilots-be-concerned-lyrics]
