Fun fact: This is also the 7th track on the album, so right in the middle of the PH scale. Not acidic or alkaline. They put so much thought in to every detail.
Shes NOT acid or akaline - what isnt acid or alkaline? WATER. She IS water. She is life. She is atlantic, she is the rain, the holy water, the flood. She is everything.
Sleep Token with the mix of science and religious metaphors....never gets old to me. The chorus talks about the things she isn't, which is an interesting way to talk about someone. She's not acid nor alkaline, black or white, day or night, perfectly misaligned. She is somewhere in the middle that Vessel can't fully define, she is a new element and he is trying to figure her out. I think you've already heard Aqua Regia, which is another great example of chemistry metaphors when talking about people or what motivates them.
I love that you're digging into the songs you listen to 😊. Also, neutral PH is 7. This song is the 7th song on the album. She's water. He said like holy water. So it makes sense lol. And baphomet is depicted with his hands like that showing the "as above so below" which is mentioned in another of his songs too 🙌 he's a genius with wordplay.
You're spot on, this song is a total banger! I love hearing people's interpretations of what the lyrics mean, if the song is connected to the video, what the whole package means. I think neither we nor anyone else would be able to find out the "true" meanings behind any of Sleep Token's songs, however much we link them into Sleep Token lore, unless we were able to actually sit down with Vessel and say "so then. What does all this mean? Please explain Alkaline and the video that goes with it in their basest terms" (chemical pun unintended there, btw). I'd love to be able to do that but it'll sadly never happen. Instead though, I'm fairly happy to read people's definitions of them. But both this song and video are total pearlers aren't they? I love their music, personally and I've not heard a rubbish song from them.
Hey Az! How have you been mate? 💜 Also, that is such an interesting point I've never thought of! She is water meaning life, but she is also neutral, like you said! Good shout!
Just a cool fact about Vessel sitting in a chair. The top fans were invited to London for a Take Me Back to Eden listening party prior to its release, although they didn’t know what it was before they arrived. When they got inside, there was a chair on the stage in front of them with a Vessel figure sat in it. When the album finished playing, the figure in the chair got up and left. They hadn’t realised it was actually him sat in the chair watching their reaction. How amazing was that?
If you look in the Lore of Sleep Token it might clear up any questions you might have. There's a Sleep Token alphabet based of of The Masons alphabet. It goes deep. But AWSOME!
The answer is water which is the underlying theme of TPWBYT. Also a pH of 7 and it’s the 7th song on the album. Nothing happens by accident with ST. Every single detail is planned out I swear. The more you dig the further it goes.
Acid and alkaline are also chemical makeups of the human body it depends on your diet. Mine personally is alkaline which makes it hard for stomach to break down food but, it does have benefits because it's almost impossible for things like cancer to survive in an alkaline environment. I love sleep token
I wish I would've caught this live... Being neither Acid nor Alkaline makes you Neutral... He's basically saying that he's fallen for someone he would've never thought possible. But he's dying to be one with her... She's basically taken over his entire thought process, and he doesn't know how to explain the connection he has with her. Other than through the lens of chemistry.
The “sigils” on the Sundowning album hint at alchemy. All the “chemistry” hints can also be read at hinting at alchemy. I could write a whole essay about alchemy in the songs but not the type of alchemy where you turn things into gold but more about alchemy when it comes to our emotions for example. That topic is very misunderstood but at the same time something really powerful. I've been learning this “art form” from two alchemists that I know. Whatever...and yes I am as weird as I my comment sounds 😅 She is not acid nor alkaline meaning that she is “neutral”. Alchemy is all about creating sacred neutrality. Not judging your emotions or other humans and all that. Another word is not being driven by Ego. Really like your Sleep Token videos so far 😊

"it has to do with chemistry"... yeah, lets talk about it
Shes NOT acid or akaline - what isnt acid or alkaline? WATER. She IS water. She is life. She is atlantic, she is the rain, the holy water, the flood. She is everything.
good interpretation
If she isn't acid or alkaline then she is Switzerland, cause she is neutral
This is perfect!!!
And water is the universal solvent
😮

She *is* perfectly misaligned.

She's formless and unknown to him, abstract in expression- representative of not being able to grasp her (get his head around her)
00:12 "They always... talk about.. not talk abo..."
Vessel - "OOHHHH LETS TALK ABOUT CHEMISTRY" 😆
"Hold up bro, light reflects off of objects. This is deep." 😭
This is the first Sleep Token song I head ever heard; the obsession had no other choice but to manifest. So happy you’re listening to it!
Same. It was too late for us as we were already altered from this point on. :)
It's all in the hands.He's crazy with'em

Banger for sure!! "She's an undiscovered element, either born in hell or heaven sent, either way I'm into it!" Love this song!! Great reaction!
Thank you Anthony 🙏 This song and video is 🔥
Water ……she is water the essential element for all life especially his
She is water and he is Vessel, a container for her. Without her, he is hollow.
Some things that are neither acid nor alkaline are blood and water which are reoccurring images throughout their discography
Being neither acid nor alkaline would be neutral. Meaning he has feelings for her but she doesn't feel the same for him.
Not to mention is track number 7 which is neutral on the ph scale which is crazy clever
Hey Az! How have you been mate? 💜

One of My favorite songs from ST
Phenomenal!, one of my favorites

Yes genius word play

SLEEP TOKEN YEAAAHH
Mans learned the PH scale from a song 😂
One of the best reaction channels out right now. You look into things and listen better than most. Thanks
He's up there with Uncle Trebor deep diving into lyrics
I wish I would've caught this live... Being neither Acid nor Alkaline makes you Neutral... He's basically saying that he's fallen for someone he would've never thought possible.

I love that all of the science references in the song and yet the video is totally supernatural.
I’m sure it’s been said before but at this point you need to start from the beginning of their discography and just crank it out. It’s a fun ride.
Ohh let's talk about chemistry 🤓
‘Cause I’m dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
She’s water. She’s pure. Also, this is track 7 of 12, not a coincidence
The middle point between acid and alkaline is considered "neutral"
Water is the Blood, Blood is the Water. Both are Life. Alchemy. As above, so below.
In his eyes she is the purest form of perfection, but she has no interest in him, is how I interpret this song

Really like your Sleep Token videos so far 😊
I love that there are so many reoccuring themes within ST's discography so far: alchemy, technology, teeth/consumption, and more.
@@sonya5043 The more you listen the more you notice reoccuring themes. There are a lot more themes in there. I really love that 😍
This is my favorite ST song, aside from "Sugar."
She’s a perfect ocean
It's the Deity he dreams about/ with
Vessel IS a Sith Lord
Alkaline neutralizes acid that’s the connection. She’s not completely safe or dangerous for you.
Have you watched the EP's yet? Calcutta and Thread the needle. It throws lore at you.
Anyone that I want to introduce Sleep Token to them, I have them watch Alkaline first.
She’s holy water. Or Aqua Regia
A passionate song about someone who is a 7 (pH)
It's a beautiful day to Worship ❤
Amazing how ppl are just purely "NOT VERY SMART" nowadays....
Please react tonoing of nephop 2 by lil buddha and straight outta Kathmandu by uniq poet and ktm grime by yama buddha..
i think you should do SUGAR next.
OMG, YES!!! That's my favorite song!
