LYRICS:
I am caught, tangled in,
Wrapped and quartered,
Tripping up and over
Time, lived again,
For just a moment,
Missing pieces find me,
I sweat and, I ache for,
Your eyes and the way you breathe,
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
You are more, than warm belief,
Melting skywards,
More than silence broken,
I’m, whole again,
For just a moment,
Until the morning comes,
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
You said you better believe it,
I said you don’t even know
Time lived again for just a moment,
Missing pieces find me,
I’m whole again, for just a moment,
Missing pieces find me

My only regret in life was not discovering them when they started
I discovered them prior to them to release their first album, and discovering back this treats from their early EPs where this track feature was awesome. I guess you had more treats to discover. The only downside i see is the opportunities to see them live in small venues. Now it's impossible.
Same
That can't be your ONLY regret (; but I get it. Lol
Definately mine too. I found them when they released The Summoning. Way too late but I've loved finding all the back catalogue. It's been a journey ❤
You say that, however I went to see them in Manchester in the early days. Tiny gig, they were supporting at the academy. I absolutely loved them and had to stand in a crowd of people talking over them because they weren't appreciated as they should have been. It was so frustrating!
Although I'm happy they are getting the recognition they deserve now 🙂
I don’t care what genre people say they are or aren’t. It’s their own sound. It’s sleep token. It’s tokencore.
tokencore fjsnjdnsjr you're absolutely right. literally a new genre
@@ariumet I’m surprised no one has said this.
YES! That's perfect!!!!
peak opinion
No idea why have to be "core" anything 🤷
There is something deeply spiritual about Sleep Token. It's not so much about the stage act, the catch phrase, the masks, or the out of this world concerts they give. When going down this rabbit hole of deeply emotional, hauntingly beautiful and achingly over wrought lyrics, one can't help but get lost inside multiple musical layers, the ambient abstracts of vocal echoing, and gorgeous vocals. The storyline is obvious, a toxic relationship paining Vessel. And anyone who has gone down this same road (with someone who does not love them back) and you really listen to the discography, you can expect an inner healing. a reshaping of your soul, if you allow it. I'm serious. You will belong to the night after you complete the ST discography, but in the best way possible.
I couldn't have worded that any better. Sleep Token is truly soul touching to me, and I find myself tangled up in the musical layers and his beautiful raw voice. I have never been so in love with music before, ST is unique and healing.
I cannot stop listen to them. It is so spiritual. Sometimes it is like that they are telling the history of my life and my relationships. It is so amazing and so strange.
That's exactly what happened to me...I was in love with someone who didn't want a relationship, and nothing could happen because he was on a finding "god" mission. 🙄 impossible.
I've been trying to put this into words for years. I love you for writing this.
It’s what I love about post rock music. The instrumentals and feel of the song brings you a story of emotion and they don’t even have singers in that genre. So his singing makes it even better.
I think this is the most I've seen of Vessel's face❤
I don’t think the face close ups are the real Vessel…
@@amandafurnell2536 those are definitely his teeth. But I could be wrong!
@@amandafurnell2536 if you know Vessel’s identity then there’s no denying it’s actually his face here
@@EmiliaJay I was actually going off seeing videos of them performing live. Just looks a little different to me but of course I could be wrong. Not that any of it matters. Just a random observation.
@@amandafurnell2536it is. He has an underbite of sorts. Or a heavy bottom lip, as some people say, and it matches.
How are they even a real band? I've never heard modern metal so compositionally and melodically perfect. Every song is a story from start to finish - an emotional trip in the greatest sense. The blend of expressive, R&B-esque vocals with modern metal/djent guitar work, and at times throwback punk-esque drumming is the breath of fresh air the metal scene needed. THIS is unique, THIS is new.
I've only just started listening to Sleep Token so I'm working my way backward in their discography and I simply cannot find a song I dislike. They've seriously cracked the code.
Agree 100%. Worked my way backwards recently. Made a playlist with every Sleep Token song available possible.
because they are anonymous.......no joke though, they're a part of the hacker organization Anonymous.
I first heard The Offering and I was hooked. His voice is so beautiful and pure. The drummer is so damn good too. I come back to them all the time.
The drum in every song is just ridiculously good.
Same man. Every track from every album talks to you and most have the nasty at the end to wrap up the emotional journeys. Ear candy with sprinkles
oh man have I been living under a rock
Welcome!! 🖤
Same here.
This fucking band drives me insane....these guys are so incredible in every way. I feel so many different things listening to them...good and bad...an AWAKENING for me...in my life at 55....how many bands out there can do that??? I'm sure, without a doubt. I'm surely not the only one. This is WAY beyond just "rock" music
Same here, I'm 52, been a metal head forever, played in a tech death metal band from the age of 25-35, but these guys just hit different. Accidentally stumbled upon them and can't get enough of them now.
I’m 38, and I’m having the same feelings. My only regret is that I wish I discovered them sooner. And my music taste is very eclectic. I’m not a musician by any means; just a former music blog writer with a bit of singing training.
I love seeing sleep token change other people's lives. They did to mine
I'm 56 and this band just woke me up to music again. I've always loved music; and ST has just breathed life back into my soul. They have a gift in that EVERY song is relatable to some chapter of my life.
This band helped me come to terms with past traumas. They're literally therapy in album format.
British musicians never disappoint.
Bring Me The Horizon
🙌🙌🙌
Part of them are Americans 😊
no@@josehopkins1265
@@josehopkins1265 vessel, iii, iv and ii are all British, ii has done a recorded interview you can hear his British accent, iii shouts into the crowd and he's clearly British and iv has shouted a few times too lol
Absolutely, without a doubt, irrefutable....one of the best lyricists ever
For sure can take you through every fucking feeling and emotion ever felt by human and gods and everything in between. Every thing the good the bad the ugly the beautiful the purely divine to true evil.
The BEST! I learned new words from their songs! I read the songs as they play like reading an audio book with text.
I'm gonna put these guy's children through college with how much I stay streaming their songs. Holy shit I can't fucking get enough!
Sleep Token's music make me feel like I'm floating. I needed this sound in my life.
True! Same for me! Now check their new songs! 🔥🔥🔥
Have you ever been attracted musically and artistically to mouth movement because I have, the way vessel pronounces words and the little inflections….. god damn
to borrow The Charasmatic Voice's description, he's so deliberate about about it. The enunciation and where the syllables go are so perfectly placed - I feel like rhythm and phrasing are at the core of their music.
The way his mouth moves when he's doing Alkaline live tho 😍🎶
You can tell this is actual facial footage of him just by how he pronounces and sings the words as well as his lip movement
I wish I discovered them sooner. My high school days wouldn’t have been so shitty if I had this playing while trudging to class
Agreed 😑😵💫
Same
Fuckin spitting facts homie
Real
It's weird how teeth can be so beautiful yet so menacing all at once.
Absolutely. I think this EVERY TIME I watch
Seeing even little parts of Vessel's face is so strange to me lol, so used to the mask
The pain in their songs is so beautiful in a twisted way. I just can't believe I had to discover them so late thru an article....and that they are not so much more "out there"....people are so much missing out....spread the word everyone....if you love this band as I do....make them known
I dodged it on my recommended for about 2 weeks. Around November of last year I started down the rabbit hole and have yet to listen to a song from another band. Except maybe Blacklit Canopy. They get in there from time to time. ❤
@@davidwaynemain hell yeah dude worship!!! ❤️

we’ve gotten our wishes 🫶
This comment has aged beautifully, there is no stopping them now 🔥
to quote owen wilson "WOW"
I love that 76 people agreed with you enough to thumb this comment up, but you had no replies, because really, what else is there to say?
Can you explain this, please?
No I can't
@@David.G. get rekt boi
“Woah”
- Keanu
Putting down the old identity and becoming vessel. Becoming Sleep Token in the most haunting beautiful way possible. Worship! 🙏
I also love how a lot if the footage is reversed like maybe they have always been sleep token and they are just now realizing it 🖤
Was not expecting that guitar to come in like that. So sick.
This is what I love about them you never know where their music is going to go
Sleep Token is magic, mystery and immense talent. They are from another planet, every song is so intricate, complex, unique and hypnotizing. It's addictive af.
And this is just to put it lightly. I feel the same way. It's difficult to put to words. I am bewitched mind, body, and soul.
this is one of the sickest fucking bands I ever listen to since Arcane Roots. Its like R&B, indie alt rock mixed with Djent. This is amazing.
I love Arcane Roots.
This comment holds up 3 years later btw
Sleep Token and Arcane Roots in one sentence, this about sums up my most listened to bands 👌🏻
@@timothyrobinson8515 you should listen to Fair to Midland.
Yep still relevant nearly 4 years later.... But and big but lol the Album after blood and chemistry was weak
The way I got so hook when I saw the parts of possibly Vessel’s face 😭
This is seriously the best music I've heard in my entire life
I've been steadily obsessing over this music since I found it, the new album is right on the horizon 🙌
Why didn't you tell me 3 years ago? I'm soooo late to the party!
I frequently look back to 2017 when I first heard this song and I remember being sucked in straight away. I thought I was late finding them in 2017, but I see new people arriving here all the time and I honestly envy every one of you for being able to hear this song for the first time! If I could go back to that moment!
I've been deep into this band the past 3 days, and I'm just hearing this song for this first time while reading your comment. This song brings up so many emotions, as do all their songs. I know I'm late, but im so glad that I found them. They've literally changed me
whole again for just a moment... i never knew how powerful a phrase this could be. Worship
His voice with his lyrics just automatically makes me cry.....I know I'm late..... But.... Wow did this have an effect on me 😔🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏
Same here buddy
These earlier EPs are... wow... just as amazing as the new stuff that pulled me in, but so much more... IDK... Raw? Either way, One was awesome... and now the first song off of Two is just cementing my appreciation of both their skill in playing and in their songwriting abilities. \m/
I think it's because Vessel didn't have peanut butter stuck on the roof of his mouth on his previous works. Not saying his new stuff is worse or better because damn, Sleep Token was the only band that made me create a separate playlist solely just for their songs
That moment when you stumble upon this song and you actually live in Calcutta so the feels-train just doubles up!
So true.
I wonder if the person they're talking about in the song has something to do with Calcutta
@@siddharthprabhu9598 same thing has been haunting me for years
What the hell did i just stumble upon??? This is unbelievable!
Calcutta Represent! Anyone else here from the city or am I alone?
Nah! You're not alone.
Fellow Calcutta person here!
Nope! You are not alone brother.
I do have a curiosity, does anyone know why this song is named as calcutta?
me too! so happy one of my fav bands has a song named after my city lol
This was released in 2017.
I AM SO MAD I DID NOT KNOW YOU GUYS EXISTED BACK THEN.
I am caught, tangled in
Wrapped and quartered
Tripping up and over
Time lived again
For just a moment
Missing pieces find me
I sweat and I ache for
Your eyes and the way you breathe
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
You are more than warm belief
Melting skywards
More than silence broken
I'm whole again
For just a moment
'Til the morning comes
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
Oh, she said you'd better believe it
I said you don't know
Oh, you said you'd better believe it
I said you don't even know
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again, whole again, whole again
❤
Geez
The first Sleep Token song I ever listened to was this one, before they had even played a single live show. Crazy to see how far they have come!
This song has no fucking business being this good.
Recently just found the band. They are one of a kind. I havent had a band in awhile make me feel things. Last one was Linkin Park. But this one. This band makes me feel alive and broken at the same time.
This was my first impression of Sleep Token a couple years ago. When I first saw this video and heard his voice I couldn’t quite appreciate its authenticity back then like I do now because I was so used to the cut and dry nature of most modern metal nowadays. Ever since then I’ve grown to love and appreciate everything this band has done and I now consider this one of my favorite songs and videos, not just from this band but from all the music I’ve discovered over the years. WORSHIP.
I feel the same way except the first time I heard it I fell in love with vessel and now sleep token is almost all I listen to and I tell everyone I know about them and try to get them into them but not everyone gets it I guess.
Same here actually. This is such a good track! Worship!
"most modern metal nowadays" bro Sleep Token are metal now?
@@shaunpocalypse not entirely, but metal is definitely part of their signature sound and they do seem to be overall associated with the scene in general.
@@GrizzyGoat Yeah, I know this. You just phrased it in such a way that made it sound like they're a metal band, which they're pretty damn far from tbh. They're more like art rock mixed with other genres and a hint of metal in how the rhythm guitar is written.
The perfection of linear songwriting. Amazing.
Just learning about this band. Their linear songwriting is remarkable.
@@JefferyBlaec What does linear songwriting mean?
@@enes8574 I think it means a lyric that just continues without any repetitive patterns or generic format of verse, chorus, repeat.
@insignificantaftermathPROJECTS there are repeating lyrics though, I'm not understanding, not that I m claiming it's wrong I just don't understand
I don't know how to describe this band. Like I feel more alive when I listen to them and they make me feel better in some way.this band is my comfort. Absolutely incredible
Desperately, hauntingly inspiring.
And now people wonder why they blew up like they did. This is why, this is their core, their soul, their birth, their first steps towards the summit. And this is not even their first EP.
"You are more, than warm belief,
Melting skywards,
More than silence broken,
I’m, whole again,
For just a moment,
Until the morning comes,
And I wake, saying your name"
ARE YOU FKN KIDDING ME. They were on top from the very beginning.
So much heartbreak in so much of their music....this lyricist is absolutely unbelievable
I love this song and Vessel's voice. It deserves more plays !!
Worship 🙏🏼♥️
Thanks Metal Hammer. This is One of the best songs i've ever heard.
glad you found some new music through the CD!
I also found them through metal hammer. In the live show reviews (which are genius btw, they tell you what the band sounds like as well as reviewing the performance .) was reading a festival show, and I saw a picture of the singer throwing up a middle finger, reading an unidentifiable book, but it had the same ascetics as religious documents. Then the caption underneath stated Sleep Token: Anonymous awesomeness. I read the paragraph about the show. I remember the words through a hazy shroud, wierd, beautiful, interesting. Looked them the fuck up immediately and MIND FUCKING BLOWN!
I remember hearing this song 4 years ago thinking this band is going to be huge! So happy to see they’re finally getting the global recognition they deserve!
Saw them in LA last November as a 4 piece and they destroyed every band on that ticket. Worship.
This is slowly becoming my absolute favourite song from Sleep Token. Everything from the instrumentation to Vessel’s voice and lyrics, this is the peak of musical talent. Worship 🙏🏻
The best song building in the entire music industry in my opinion. I have no words for how incredible this band is.
Obvi a fan of ST, but man round of applause for the peeps behind the camera. Loved the angles of the instruments. The cuts, transitions, all so dope. I also always imagine the conversation that precedes getting the shot - “ok I’m gonna get real close up now just mush this charcoal thing in your mouth real good” hahahha
I’m 60 years old I’ve heard a lot of music over the years. This band for me ranks up there with Pink Floyd tool Deftones and it’s the only man that has moved me since tools last album I love the versatility of this band
55 here and the same applies :)
This song really helps me deal with the mental load of insomnia, im forever awake. I cant even sleep with my partner amd it crushes me, until i see her again in the morning it makes me forget i havent slept in days. To me its like wanting to sleep without it being chemically induced. Perhaps Sleep is maybe a deity i have been seeking myself, loathing fot the darkness in a way without it sounding morbid
Listening to this song from Kolkata (formerly Calcutta). I love Sleep Token.
This beyond excellent and incredibly dynamic. It's like Sigur Ros, Everything Everything, Massive Attack and ISIS all came together and birthed this incredible musical creature.
David Davenport definitely get the sigur Ros vibes here
Dude, you my nigga now! Who the fuck else remembers Isis? I suppose it's a good thing they stopped releasing music before......well you know.
@@themoderndayamericanjohnle5999 can u send me isis music .....
I wish you didn't allcaps Isis
Yeah man, ISIS was the fucking bomb y'know? Like it was just so good you'd just wanna jump off a roof or something.
Wasn't initially a huge fan of them, because I was listening to heavy, death metal... But they came up and I decided to check them out. No regrets.
Every time I listen to any of their songs. Something new appears and I've never come across something so beautiful. I can go on with the compliments but it would end up as an essay on why their music is everything.
If you listen to their music and don't get even the slightest bit emotional, there is something wrong with you!
I'm here after seeing this band recommended in a nothing but thieves comment section. I do not regret it.
That low pass filter fade out at the end ♡
I've been listening to this song for a short time and I'm just wondering why I didn't discover this band a few years ago, they're really great.
Love this early stuff.. it has his previous project vibe with sleep token we know these days 🖤
I close my eyes listening to this. I cant even tell you where im at right now. I just traveled 8000 miles and 26 years and the song isnt even halfway through.
How are these guys not much bigger??
No shit. I was introduced to them yesterday and haven't stopped listening. I can't believe most of their videos have under 100k views.
Seriously. I show them to everyone I know or meet who has any interest in this kind of music.
Not consistent in new music releases, the whole imagery and back story of “Vessel” isn’t very intriguing to the masses, the mystery thing gets old even though all us fans already knows who it is.
@@t4rmafia892 so who is he ?
@@levig-man4103 which one? I know who all of them are except the bassist. Still undecided on him.
Listen to their whole catalog of material...it will BLOW ur mind and blow you away...I think I'm done for tonight. Been doing this all night...I'm beat...spread the word please...
I always just laugh like a lunatic, and thrash around like an idiot alone here in my girlfriends bedroom while she’s out at a birthday party dinner… just me.
Listening to the Sleep Token Catalogue from beginning to end. Chronologically.
I may also have GTA up on the PC…
Just heard of this band from seeing them live and my god they are so good live!
Damn right they are
I've been listening to Sleep Token for about a year now, and for some reason never really gave this one a chance.
This is now by far one of my top 3, if not top, Sleep Token song. This is truly a beautiful piece of art, is so powerful, and captures my heart and soul. I love Sleep Token so much.
Worship
This is the genesis.
This song is akin to wanting someone so bad that it hurts... i feel that.
Lyrics
I am caught, tangled in

Melting skywards more than silence broken

And I'm whole again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again, whole again, whole again
The fact their official youtube only has 3 albums, all released after this song is crazy. I love this band. Everything about it.
one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard. taking this to the grave
I just discovered this band and man, sounds sooo beautiful and different. That voice is heaven, sounds like a mixture beetween the Kings of Leon's frontman and Sam Smith.
Joan Sebastian Valderrama
I thought there was a hint of Sam Smith in there too!
I think he has a hint of EDEN
This song is so hauntingly beautiful and addictive
Coldplay's Chris Martin if he grew up listening to Deftones.
Majid Jordan too!
Bro yes!
no way dude, i love coldplay and big old skull Deftones fan...CH not matter how much he would be influenced by CM could sounds like this. And that's not a bad thing. ST are an awesome collective.
100% my first thought hearing his beautiful voice =D
I thought he sounded more like the vocalist from imagine dragons....
For years I thought modern rock music was dead, especially considering I’m extremely picky about the quality of the lyrics and vocals. But you know, Vessel is fucking perfection 😂 Literally.
I been playing this song n the rest of thier songs for a week now n I can say this is a very unique singer. The slow pace of there music reminds me of Tool but I can't compare. They're like a romantic rock/electro which I love about them. Very different
HORNS UP! \m/
"Their"
I'm obsessed. Just incredible...
What a masterpiece. I've had this on repeat ever since I heard it. PLEASE come to the US at your earliest convenience!
This is so beautiful
I cry everytime i listen to this song, and i listen to it every day on repeat.
Me too ❤️💖
how have i only recently stumbled upon this band?? ..regardless i'm happy as f*** to have submerged from the rock i was confined under where sleep token didn't exist...never going back there again.
Lol we have the same exact canine teefs...kinda cool tbh. Couple wolf boiz.
I'm so obsessed with this song it's so fucking haunting and beautiful and reminds me of the man I know I'm supposed to be with but I guess not in this life time. I dream about him sometimes and this describes how it feels when I wake up from those dreams.
I am caught... I love these guys and the way they write..
This needs 1 million more views!
This will always be one of my favs😍
i absolutely love their early stuff. so beautiful… i love them
one of my absolute favourite songs of all.
Thank you for the music you make, it calms my troubled soul
Yup ❤
I am from Calcutta and it took me by surprise that there's a song named after our city from these guys. Really loving their style.
But what's the connection to our city?
I was confused about that too lol
The other two songs on the ep are Jericho and Nazareth, so I believe it's a biblical reference.
It's dirty?
This video helped me to confirm the identity of Vessel. Worship.
Completely obsessed with this band.
I realized that people have to stop putting expectations on what a band should sound like. Especially bands that play in the Metal sandbox. You can't expect Sleep Token to sound like anything you have heard before.
Happy one year from this amazing EP. WORSHIP
As always setting the benchmark one step higher with every release.
Your songs will live on forever.
WORSHIP
This band is so precious ❤
This whole song is a vibe I’m glad my ears finally caught on to. It took a few listens, but here I am pressing repeat for the 200th time.
Whoa. WhoaWhoaWhoa. I am speechless. This is beautiful.
This song is eerily beautiful and the video is phenomenal!! 😩🖤
literally my favorite band
They really are their own type of genre..amazing
Take our hand, Protect his message. Worship.
