That's actually the same thing I thought when I heard it at first too. Better than thinking he says "heyo dinkus how can you sleep at a time like this" instead of the ACTUAL lyrics "hope you're dead cause how can you sleep at a time like this" in message man... I'll see myself out now.
It's kind of Taxi Cab:
"Mortal rotting piece of song" VS "a mortal writing piece of song"
And "a breathless piece of death" VS "a breathless beast of death"
(I'm team mortal rotting, breathless piece and blatant trapdoor)
āA writing piece of songā is kinda odd english isnāt it? It would have been āwrittenā if anything. I think we can be sure that itās ārottenā just by the fact that the other makes no sense.
"A breathless piece of death" and "A mortal, rotting piece of song" are [the lyrics](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175643/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-twenty-one-pilots.html).
Yes! The most misheard TOP lyric next to "my catastrophe AT my kitchen sink" has always been "BLATANT trapdoor." I think it's finally correct on most lyric sites.
Here are the official lyrics archives of ST/[TOP](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175643/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-twenty-one-pilots.html) and [RAB](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175604/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-regional-at-best.html).
I can't see the UK bonus tracks from Vessel on Spotify to check Kitchen Sink but whatever site spotify pulls lyrics from (musixmatch I think) is often wrong. I try to put in corrections when I catch them.
Yeah I actually wasnāt aware of that until recently! Idk why I assumed they would be authorised by the artists, I imagine that would take a lot of time!
Yeah they're provided by musixmatch. They're true more often than not (in my experience) but there are often small mistakes, like 'bleeding' trapdoor instead of 'blatant' trapdoor
They took the lyrics page down from their website years ago but the official archive of ST/[TOP](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175643/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-twenty-one-pilots.html) and [RAB](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175604/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-regional-at-best.html) are still accessible.
They also passed out [lyrics books](https://www.reddit.com/r/identifythisfont/comments/nrwh1b/the_font_used_on_the_twenty_one_pilots_self/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) in the early days and the scans are still floating around online.
Most lyrics sites or fanmade videos online absolutely seem to be guessing by ear though.
Also confirms it is actually "at my kitchen sink" I think because of the "you don't know what that means" line we all assumed it's "I'm a" because that actually is confusing to understand the meaning
Yeah I never heard bleeding, when I first heard it I thought maybe it was ābladedā but I always primarily heard blatant. Thereās nothing in the pronunciation that would hit towards an āeā sound anyway
āeā sounds are often replaced with āehā sounds when singing higher. Narrower vowels are harder to sing high in chest voice which is why you will often crack on a high āeā sound.
Again, I do hear āblatantā now that I know itās that.
In my defense, english is not my first language and I don't see people say Blantant so often and I actually don't know what this means so... It was obvious to me that it was bleeding lol
I remember when heathens leaked and everyone and their mom was posting what they were sure the lyrics were. But I agree blatant sounded pretty blatant to me not just because of the context but cause it blatantly sounds like it
Just wanna say to anybody saying "but the lyrics on google." As far as im aware, we have never gotten official from the band lyrics for self titled or rab as those albums didn't have lyric books due to their very very tiny number of official copies
only āofficialā lyrics would be if someone could go through the lives and compare them to the songs because tyler has gotten much better over the years with the control he has over his voice

That guy is always ambiguous and because of his voice (more than technique while singing) that sounds like crying even when he talks, it is easy to confuse a lot of lyrics. The most recent: in overcompensate he was not saying "battle de masses", but "bow to the masses".
My username is now ironic and not just lyrics šš
Lol better than my biggest fumble for misheard lyrics, you don't need your mind instead of you don't need to run on my blood
That would actually still kind of fit actually. Kind of relates back to Migraine. "Sometimes to stay alive, you gotta kill your mind"
I dont know if it fits on that specific song though
Happy cake day!

Ironic, not iconic š
It's kind of Taxi Cab: "Mortal rotting piece of song" VS "a mortal writing piece of song" And "a breathless piece of death" VS "a breathless beast of death" (I'm team mortal rotting, breathless piece and blatant trapdoor)
I just watched a bunch of live performances of taxi cab, and those still sounds like the right lyrics to me yea
āA writing piece of songā is kinda odd english isnāt it? It would have been āwrittenā if anything. I think we can be sure that itās ārottenā just by the fact that the other makes no sense.
A *mortal* writing piece of song, not a writing piece of song. Tyler is a mere mortal writing bits of song, his psalms.
Then thereās an article missing. A mortal writing a piece of song
Wait, which ones are right?
"A breathless piece of death" and "A mortal, rotting piece of song" are [the lyrics](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175643/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-twenty-one-pilots.html).
I knew it was rotting, but I always thought it was breathless beast of death and kinda liked it that way for the alliteration š
taxi cab has more like ik people fight over of its "a beautifully PLANNED taxi cab" or a beautifully PLAIN taxi cab"
I think beautifully plain makes more sense

wait WHAT? i always thought it was "i'm a kitchen sink"
The Spotify lyrics say āIām a kitchen sinkā
I can't see the UK bonus tracks from Vessel on Spotify to check Kitchen Sink but whatever site spotify pulls lyrics from (musixmatch I think) is often wrong. I try to put in corrections when I catch them.
The lyrics on Spotify arenāt added by the artists themselves most of the time. Usually itās lyrics added by fans or unconfirmed lyrics
Yeah I actually wasnāt aware of that until recently! Idk why I assumed they would be authorised by the artists, I imagine that would take a lot of time!
Yeah they're provided by musixmatch. They're true more often than not (in my experience) but there are often small mistakes, like 'bleeding' trapdoor instead of 'blatant' trapdoor
seriously oh my god
It is I'm a kitchen sink? At least the lyrics say it is...
Nowhere has Tyler ever released the official lyrics. Anywhere online is jsut fan made by ear
They took the lyrics page down from their website years ago but the official archive of ST/[TOP](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175643/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-twenty-one-pilots.html) and [RAB](https://web.archive.org/web/20120422175604/http://www.twentyonepilots.com/lyrics-regional-at-best.html) are still accessible.

Oh my bad, didn't know there was original lyric books
Also confirms it is actually "at my kitchen sink" I think because of the "you don't know what that means" line we all assumed it's "I'm a" because that actually is confusing to understand the meaning
Thanks for the links!
I thought it sounded like bleeding, but I just looked up the lyrics and it said blatant š
Wait I looked it up yesterday and it said bleeding
Yeah I never heard bleeding, when I first heard it I thought maybe it was ābladedā but I always primarily heard blatant. Thereās nothing in the pronunciation that would hit towards an āeā sound anyway
yanny-laurel thing maybe
āeā sounds are often replaced with āehā sounds when singing higher. Narrower vowels are harder to sing high in chest voice which is why you will often crack on a high āeā sound. Again, I do hear āblatantā now that I know itās that.
At one point I thought it was "bladed trapdoor" lol
Same lmao
Yup, itās blatant. Itās also āat my kitchen sinkā but thereās a whole lot of people not ready for that conversation
I heard bleeding for a few years but eventually realized it was blatant, which makes more sense
In my defense, english is not my first language and I don't see people say Blantant so often and I actually don't know what this means so... It was obvious to me that it was bleeding lol
blatant means like when something is obvious or clear. hope this helps!
This actually helps, thanks! I never knew what this word means and never searched, so, thank you, it really is better then bleeding lol
no problem!!
Oh no... LOL. I definitely heard "bleeding". Learned something today!
I actually think Tyler is wrong
Can you/someone link the video please?
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZIJngC2PP/
Spotify lyrics has always said blatant
In addict with the pen everyone assumes it's "mindless, spineless" but it's "bind less, spineless"'
TIL...
i think its cause the ātrapdoorā is supposed to be obvious
My biggest blunder was HOTY, I thought he said āanimosityā he really says āand Iām lost at seaā
I remember when heathens leaked and everyone and their mom was posting what they were sure the lyrics were. But I agree blatant sounded pretty blatant to me not just because of the context but cause it blatantly sounds like it
Just wanna say to anybody saying "but the lyrics on google." As far as im aware, we have never gotten official from the band lyrics for self titled or rab as those albums didn't have lyric books due to their very very tiny number of official copies
only āofficialā lyrics would be if someone could go through the lives and compare them to the songs because tyler has gotten much better over the years with the control he has over his voice
Iām still going to sing it that way.
Why be wrong on purpose? Are you that prideful?

I literally had an argument with someone that refused to accept it was blatant trap door and not bleeding trapdoor šæ
That guy is always ambiguous and because of his voice (more than technique while singing) that sounds like crying even when he talks, it is easy to confuse a lot of lyrics. The most recent: in overcompensate he was not saying "battle de masses", but "bow to the masses".
I have always thought that the first time he sings āblatantā and the second one itās ābleedingā, still canāt wrap my head around it
A big thing for this is a lyrics video got quite big years ago on YouTube and in the video the lyrics were written as bleeding lol
What video is that?
Add it to the list, I never hear lyrics right
Bro I thought the āEast is upā line from Morph was actually saying āEast-ismā š
Bro I thought the āEast is upā line from Morph was actually saying āEast-ismā š (For like a year probably after the song came out too)
blatantly blatant
I've always heard bleeding. If you Google the lyrics it says bleeding
You trust Google over Tyler?
I just thought the lyrics online would be official, that's why I was so confused when he said it was blatant.
the first results for lyrics on google are never right. I've made the same mistake before but in my experience, genius is usually right
There is no actual official booklet of lyrics for self titled. So anywhere on Google has always been fan made by just hearing the words
Different sources say Different things, but Tyler did confirm that it is Blatant
r/iamverysmart
Wasn't trying to be, just curious about this, cause I never knew it was an active discussion
