The "someone at the door" is responsibility. It could be his own personal health, mental state, spiritual development, outside obligations, or really anything. Whatever is at the door is in need of attention, but he is too engrossed in his own thoughts and torments. He likes to entertain them, either in just a figure of speech sort of way (entertain a thought) or possibly through the songs that he sings.
<blockquote>The whole concept of that song is that I feel that humans are always struggling when it comes to purpose, trying to figure out their purpose is, what purpose even is, what’s the point, justifying your own existence.


Basically the metaphor is that he locks himself up in a house of negative thoughts and shuts out the world. [https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858886311/ <nowiki>[1]</nowiki>]
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.

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.

Kitchen Sink is the 8th track on the album, Regional at Best as well as the 14th track on Vessel Bonus Track Version.

Background

The whole concept of that song is that I feel that humans are always struggling when it comes to purpose, trying to figure out 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.

Lyrics

Album version
[Intro: Tyler Joseph]

La, la, da, da

La, la, da, da, da

La, la, da, da

La, la, da, da

La, la, da, da

La, la, da, da, da

La, la, da, da

La, la, da

[Verse 1: Tyler Joseph]

We all are stranger creatures than when we all started out as kids

Culture forbids

We have romantic fantasies about what dying truly is

Fall off the grid

[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]

We live for the night's decor

It reveals what we dream of

[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]

I know there's someone at the door

They called for help, of this I'm sure

But do I want to say goodbye

To all the glowing eyes?

I'm holding on to what I know

And what I know, I must let go

But I would rather play a song

For the eyes to sing along

[Post-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]

La, la, da, da

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

[Interlude: Tyler Joseph with James Truslow]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2: Tyler Joseph & James Truslow]

We all know somebody who knows somebody who's doing great

I know some people who know people who are flying straight

But I'll kindly enter into rooms of depression

While ceiling fans and idle hands will take my life again

[Pre-Chorus: Tyler Joseph]

We live for the night's decor

It reveals what we dream of

[Chorus: Tyler Joseph]

I know there's someone at the door

They called for help, of this I'm sure

But do I want to say goodbye

To all the glowing eyes?

I'm holding on to what I know

And what I know, I must let go

But I would rather play a song

For the eyes to sing along

[Bridge: Tyler Joseph with James Truslow]

This room is far too dark for us to stay around

Redemption's not that far, and darkness is going down

This room is far too dark, for us to stay around

Redemption's not that far, and darkness is going down

La, la, da, da

La, la, da, da, da

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]

I'm holding on to what I know

And what I know, I must let go

But I would rather play a song

For the eyes to sing along

[Outro: Tyler Joseph]

Their eyes will sing along, long, long

Make them stop

Make them stop

Make them stop

Make them stop

Make them stop

Lyrics meaning

Lyrics
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.

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.

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.[1]
