A kettle, sometimes called a tea kettle or teakettle, is a small kitchen appliance used for boiling water. Kettles can be heated either by placing on a stove, or by their own electric heating element.
A stovetop kettle is a roughly pitcher shaped metal vessel used to heat water on a stovetop or hob. Kettles usually have a handle on top, a spout, and a lid. Sometimes stove-mounted kettles also have a steam whistle which indicates when the water has reached boiling point.
Electric kettles are normally constructed of durable plastic or steel (with a plastic handle) and powered by mains electricity. In modern designs, once the water has reached boiling, the kettle automatically deactivates to prevent the water boiling away and damaging the heating element.
The word kettle originates from Old Norse ketill "cauldron". The Old English spelling was ċetel with initial che- [tʃ] like 'cherry', Middle English (and dialectal) was chetel, both come (together with German Kessel "cauldron") ultimately from Germanic *katilaz, that was borrowed from Latin catillus, diminutive form of catīnus "deep vessel for serving or cooking food", which in various contexts is translated as "bowl", "deep dish", or "funnel".

Kettle's boiling in the other room,
didn't know that life would end so soon.
Im not clinicly dead,
but thats the message going to my head.
Cos I'm too young to die,
and I'm too hooked to cry.
Im too young to die,
too young to die.
kettle's whistling through my brain
it's trying to drive me insane
'cos it's a journey just to turn the kettle off
billion years ago i'd had enough
Now I'm too young to die,
and I'm too hooked to cry.
corner curt mindless morally is bankrupt
here fitting nicely staying as it once was
a blissful sensation the head tripping cave in
to feel the head shaken begin to collapse in the wiretap feast of dreams
where taken lightly clouded as light serene
flame throwing tarot all in a line descends
an instant receiving was better untreated
all problems lying low just under the skins glow
the scarring convergence screams with serious sides affecting
a serious inability to cease the faction a long door closing in the
face react
toward a lonely lesson offering retraction
a memory hanging on now hung by the neck
it's overly twisted rape and remind of waste
in devious flavors direct in defiling shame
when playing with fire and burnt out desire a kettle of blackness
already fell into
a pit of our own device
a serious disability devout the system a sharp wedge dripping through
the back up ahead
toward one vicious world wide assumption
a forced upon dictatorship the futures dead
a blissful sensation the head tripping cave in
to feel the head shaken begin to collapse in the wiretap feast of dreams
all problems lying low just under the skins glow
the scarring convergence screams
I write fingers cut same blood as yours
can't make it flow but I know
a stunted way to grow and I scream
and the kettle screams I'm so sick of it
and I want to go home(but I'm home)
I want to hear you feel it
say it like you mean it
bad half of each of me
hey heard you downstairs
I want to catch you in the kitchen kissing
and holding hands when walking
and the kettle screams I'm so tired of it
and I want to go home (but I'm home)
and you should breathe it
say it like you mean it
years together alone
life together alone
steal truly happy lives
please last please try
I know they don't last
no I lie
I want pictures of you crow's feet-joyful
to hear you laugh across the house
til it's painful
then the kettle screams your so tired of it
and you want to go home (but your home)
you want to hear you feel it
Here she sits a worn out kettle
blackened soot and darkened metal
is it such a mystery how such a thing could come to be?
Once she sat upon the shelf
ready to assert herself
enchanted by misleading hope
drawn into her searing home
Chorus:
She was burned, she was burned, yeah she was burned
dark as the night, how dark she turned
Will we learn, will we learn, will we ever learn
to take the kettle off
cuz metal often times will burn
She was built to take the heat
upon the flame she took her seat
she fought the fire with hardened skin
just toss her aside and start all over again
See the pain you bring in your
over achieving ways
Are you aware of the sting
Are you quick to cast away
I think that you forgot that it's
