This time he is pushing his message that we should think what society wants us to think or what the popular opinion is. He is showing us that it is better to see a different meaning of things than others. Tyler Joseph uses lots of figurative speech in this song. He says, “I 'm a kitchen sink” As a metaphor for what he is trying to explain. In the ending of the song Tyler’s brother Zach is featured, Zack says, “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”
Throughout the song, the speaker is aware of the awful treatment towards himself and other Vietnam veterans as a whole, but he does not inform the reader exactly why they are treated so poorly.
