Tear my arms off. Arms are the extremities we use to embrace another. She’s tearing off his ability to embrace. Also a callback later in the song missing limbs
Ahhhhh!!! Gotcha!!
Also, in The Offering he says “My arms belong around you” so it could be a way of him begging to be released if that’s the only way he can see being separated.
Sleep Token finds pieces in your soul you haven't grieved. I've cried so much with this band.
Too true!
Exactly -- there is no issue with thinking of others before yourself (love those the way you wish to be loved credo). However, when people have made you a martyr and treated you as such, the inner injuries take on deep deep roots. And the more someone's character allows emotional martyrdom, the deeper the scars become; and healing might occur, if possible. I can say that ST has unearthed so many inner hurts, and has made me drop to my knees. I stood up to stomp those hurts away (because no one taught me how) Because of ST, I feel like I can fly. But the terror of my cleansing needed a soundtrack and a sense of HOPE Thank you Sleep Token.
You defintiely said that like you truly have been there! The growth is real!
This band helped me grow as a person. Not even just grieving, but everything. I have an entire different outlook on things due to this band. A lot of positive change has happened for me mentally by really sitting down and listening to this story of Vessel and Sleep.
The vocals in the back are him too. Just vocal layers. ❤
Facts! Sorry I did know that at the time but my excitement took to another place LOL
I just saw them live on May 18th at Sonic Temple, Columbus, Ohio. When they played this song… I could feel all of my organs violently shaking inside my body from the speakers 😂.
Such a great song! I’m really glad you guys are taking the journey through the whole catalog. I enjoy watching and hearing your interpretations of these songs.
I think thats what Vessel is here to do! Shake us TF up! I'm here for it!
I was there too!!!! Soul stirring!!
I was there as well, and my girl and I spent the entire setlist in fucking tears because it was so emotional 😂
I believe he's talking about self-harm in the 'new scars that I didn't ask for...tear my arms off' section. He's thinking about whether she would call him up asking why he's done it if she found out, and whether she would be angry, concerned, or a bit of both. As a theme, it shows up again later (that's all I'll say so as not to spoil anything).
Was about to suggest the very same reasoning! Good shout! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Gonna offer an alternative perspective bc why not lol
If you've ever noticed the outside of Vessel's left arm has two very noticeable, parallel scars partway up his forearm. They're consistent with a compound fracture of his ulna. I think he compound fractured the crap out of his arm in the accident.
@@earthscorcherreferences in granite maybe?
@@earthscorcherpossibly but too many other song touch on this so I do believe it’s a self harm thing. It’s would give specific lyrics but they haven’t gotten there yet so I’m not going to spoil anything😊
@@darcystcorner2580 I totally get that - and it's nice the lyrics are open to interpretation. I still tend to think that *she* was the one with self-harm issues.
I’m a recovering alcoholic, 3 years sober now. That chorus hits me hard, because that’s the exact way I felt every single time I broke sobriety in the beginning. I would miss the man I was the moment we lifted off and the booze would hit my bloodstream and I knew I had again betrayed myself again. The next morning I would be ashamed of myself and I hated who I had become…. A person I myself, could not trust, bending and breaking a commitment to myself for just a few moments of pleasure that were never as great as what I would hope for.
This song still gets to me when that chorus hits.
I understand that on very real level... We work so hard to be a better person and making the future better than the past and it only seems to take 1 slip up to unravel all that hard work. There's a book called "Outwitting the Devil" by Napoleon Hill that really helped me understand the process of drifting from our purpose or goals. I can't pretend I have it all down or have conquered my demons but this book really helped me get on the right track. Check it out!
This is literally my favorite song from Sleep Token along with so many more. 😭 Hope you guys react to Rain too !
Rain is definitely coming!
He says “I will not break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody”
I "might" break and bend is what i keep seeing... I do hear that it could be "won't", but I also think that that wouldn't go with the theme of this song. I don't think he's at that point in the self journey by this song. Tough to say though
@@UncleTrebor It’s really hard to tell exactly what he’s saying because it’s far back in the mix. I’ve also seen some people say it’s “I don’t wanna bend…” or even “How do I make amends to my need…” We don’t have official lyrics from the band for most songs, so most of what’s online is just people guessing.
I like that!! "How do I make amends" would be crazy!!
I just wanna say thank you for allowing us to see this piece of you brother. It’s not easy to open up and let others in and I applaud your ability to do that and have these moments with your son. My son is 6 and I hope I can have these conversations with him like you have with your son. I also want him to have love for himself before he finds someone when he’s older so he doesn’t fall prey to the things that I did. If I can prevent him from going through that pain, I will do it
It's every good fathers aim! That energy of fatherhood can change this world! Proud of you!
I'm really stoked for Higher. 👏🏻
We're recording today!!!
“Marks on my dashboard” I’m assuming Vessel is referring to a computer dashboard containing visual data which represents his core memory or a glance of his past/journey.
Oh ok!! We know he considers himself an unaffordable circuit board... I like it!!
When I listen to this song and try to understand the lyrics I usually imagine that Vessel is driving in a car and has no sense of direction and is in a vulnerable state.
I can see that!! Kinda like he's driving to nowhere trying to make sense of it all
"I've been waiting for this moment all my life"
Phil Collins
I told ya'll
You were so right!!
Took my until I was about 37 to finally stop dancing to alarm bells…and honestly, if I wasn’t with my husband, I may still be…I’m a people pleaser and I always found myself in situations where I would rather be with the person I knew was toxic, than be alone
“We’d rather be six feet under than be lonely”
You hit that right on the head!
And here I am living vicariously through you guys. Love the reactions please keep the sleep token reactions coming. Do “mine” by sleep token if you haven’t already. It’s sooo good
We're getting there for sure!!
4:41 A lot of things are metaphorical here. And maybe literal. “When I was raised there was no streetlights. Just pitch black and passing headlights.” Could mean that it was literally dark and that cars passing were the only light. OR, it could mean that everything was metaphorically dark like he was lost or traumatized and every now and then there were people who lit up that darkness.
I def see that!
the feelings that he can summon from the deeps of your soul with the lyrics the layers in their sound it's just unbelievable!🖤❤️🔥
Big facts!!! Thanks for the support
You will understand the deeper into the story you go. It’s revealed, the dashboard I believe is himself and the new scars are a suicide attempt. He talks about suicide frenzy and frenzy in other songs.
There may be a reference to a car accident in another song but not this one.
I love how the two of you work out most of what each song means. You get the metaphors and it’s so refreshing.
Always appreciate your comments @darcystcorner2580
When I first listened to sleep token I thought vessel was a brotha 😅
Same!!! And you cant really tell he's not until he starts sweating his paint off lol
I also think dashboard is not literal. Like it has to do with him not an actual car. And I’m not sure if you guys know probably do but vessel records everything except for the drums for the records. He’s does all the instruments and vocals minus drums😍
I can definitely see that! And we learned that early on for sure. Dude is amazingly gifted!
Loving this journey so far, and love the way you bounce ideas off one another. Really enjoyable watch, keep up the good work, love from the UK 👊🏻
Thank you! We gotta listen to these young ones too!!
II puts on a clinic with his skills on the set with this one. One of my favorites.
Yeah he killing that drum pad for sure!!
SO GLAD you 2 are going through this journey. And im here for each upload.
Hey the people ridin' with us makes the trip more enjoyable! Thanks for company!
@@UncleTrebor damn right.
Vessel with his lyrics force us to face our demons and rip open wounds that would otherwise remain buried. Discovering them 2 years ago , was the best thing that could have happened to me. It forced me to deal with what i buried away and helped me heal....i know Vessel at one point didn't think he saved anyone...I'm living proof that he did❤ i cant wait to see you continue your Sleep Token journey. Have a box of tissues with you because you'll need them for sure the further you get in.
Damn i may have to make a costco run for tissue! LOL
this is one of their songs that that I just feel like if I could go to a dark club and see a hot goth stripper dancing to it, it would fix something in me XD
LOL I see that!! Like the movie Dusk til Dawn! 🤣
Yesss 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate the support!!
Nice reaction! For a song that really shows his vulnerability, but sad so you may not want to go there for a reaction, but Fall For Me, official video, is amazing.
Ok bet!! We'll pick it up on the way!
This was even more powerful live.
I can imagine for sure!!
For real. He is right. Dont bend who you are for likes and friends. Never tried respect for money, laughs or your dignity.
Big facts!!
I’ve been WAITING for this song to get in your rotation. I figured this would be a great reaction vid from you guys! I was right ❤
Keep it up, fam 💪
Preciate you!!! We got the whole catalog coming!!
This again is referring to the car accident where there was loss of life in the form of a child.
You think the whole song is about the loss of a child?
WORSHIP ❤❤❤
Lesssss go!!!!!
Dude, much love for the fact that you are man enough to admit to weaknesses of the heart. Even more of a man for not having a problem showing and sharing your emotions with the world in front of your son. In turn teaching him the strength in doing that and being your true self openly, no fronts. You have my respect and my subscription after this one. Great video, looking forward to the next one. 💯🔥👏🤌💕✌️
I really appreciate that! I just want to see us all ascend and grow above all the self and man-made BS holding us back. Vessel is doing an amazing job of putting it in song form!
Top 5 dark signs react 📠💯
That means a lot sir! I'll take rankings for the other videos too if you dont mind! LOL
Such a jam.
facts!!
My best friend discovered ST whilst goin through a break up. Vessel's lyrics hit her like a ton of bricks, she said it was like having emotional therapy and being awakened all at once. I think that's the beauty of this band..we can all relate to Vessel's words in some way. Great reaction guys!!...and you may wanna keep some tissues nearby for the rest of your ST journey, just sayin..😢😂
Thats a great description of these songs! And I can tell the journey is really just beginning 😭
Posting another comment:
I spent 15 years the first time and 8 the second time dancing to alarm bells.
Ironic how you talked about being a beta male for years, both of my husbands were beta males and all I ever wanted was an alpha male. Most women these days don’t know what an alpha male is but at 54 I do. Im glad you stepped into your rightful place as a man and that you are instilling these things into your sons.
I have to!! It's a tough road that one... And I wish nothing more than for my kids to rise up and be the men that dream and grow to meet those dreams and goals... But you cant do that while bending and breaking to be close to someone.
@@UncleTrebor 100% truth
Don't 💤😴😪 sleep on (FREESTYLE #118 RAY VAUGHN )... Be prepared for 8min 15sec of 🤯 mind-blowing Barzzz. Your guaranteed to be a huge 🪭 fan once you ⌚ watch this freestyle 🎥 video. I am officially ⚠️ warning you about the OVERLOAD of Wordplay, Metaphors, Storytelling, Lyricism, Double Entendres, Punchline and Energy Ray Vaughn bring to the 🎤 mic on (FREESTYLE #118 RAY VAUGHN ).. I promise you won't regret 👀 seeing this BarzzzFest freestyle 🎥 video. ✌️ Peace..
Wait til you get to Higher. That song hits deep and way too close for comfort.
You always think "how can this get any better or more emotional..." and BAM!! In yo face!! 🤯
Yeah, Unc, i been in a couple relationships that there were alarm bells but i was determined i could fix what was wrong. Boy, I'm hardheaded cuz damn if i didn't get out if one into another. After fool #2, I took some time for myself (and my daughter who was Two) and just worked and took care of my daughter. I ended up working two years straight with two jobs, only giving me 4 days a month off. And i spent all my time with my daughter when I wasn't working. Thank God I had my parents there to take care of my daughter when I worked. Being a single Mom wasn't any fun. But i had had enough of Men and getting done shitty. So, when my lucky #3 forever man showed up, i was taken aback. I was leary of being hurt again, but he was nothing like the first two narcissists were. He has always been keen on my happiness and I can't believe we've been together 12 years now😅. Time flies when you're having fun 😂. And so do anniversaries 😂. Anywho..... sorry you've been down that road Unc but the beauty of Vessel's writing is you can project your own feelings onto his music and he finds a way to "speak" to you. Next us Higher, another banger for ya. Til then guys ✌️
Worship ❤
Arent we glad that life allows us to grow and not just discard us when we make mistakes! Mistakes are the building blocks of life itself, yet we spend so much time sitting on them instead of using them. Always enjoy your comments Nikki!
Uncle Trebor you've been through a lot as well haven't you?
It's been a tough one for sure! In and outside of this head
React Sleep Token - "Are you really ok"
It's coming soon!
@@UncleTrebor nice
Love ya’lls sleep token reactions but I may have taken you the wrong way and I’m not being critical, more opening conversation, but I completely disagree with your beta male comments, if anything I think it’s the complete opposite, because of the way todays society suggests the way “men” should be I feel like it takes a bigger man to hone into their feelings and express vulnerability regardless of whatever anyone else’s opinions would be of that, not giving a fuck essentially. I honestly feel like the whole “grrrr im alpha, me man, i tough” mentality is cringy and pathetic, men’s suicide rate is through the roof and i think this is one of the biggest causes. If you’re an alpha, you shouldn’t need to go out of your way to prove it, you just need to show you’re a decent, caring, thoughtful person. Curious to know your thoughts though, like I said, totally not trying to come across in a negative way but this is something I feel really strongly about and think is totally backward in society.
Normalize asking "is that a furry thing?" whenever a guy says they're an "alpha"
@iNessi I completely agree with you on all those fronts... I really could care less about the labels. I really care more about extracting the life lessons from the lyrics. And I really hope you're not the type to comment before watching the entire vid bc you'd see me show my emotions and express my deep feelings for understanding the "beta male" viewpoint as I considered myself one for 90% of my life. I watched my dad also bend and break to be loved and feel close to someone, I watched my mom do the same and almost never come home bc she found the attention elsewhere. And my parents were never together so also not seeing what a proper or inproper relationship even looks like. So yes my lack of confidence in myself, environement, and my thinking led me to feel powerless.
And if I back off from this perspective then I negate part of my purpose for creating this channel and also breaking these lyrics down by ST. Because he is very very clearly trying to teach us to use our own minds and find the happiness in ourselves and not in another person or thing. I used like 2 other terms that mean the exact same thing, but bc society has weaponized it we are getting punished for using it to uplift and help men and women rise up to their power under control, or emotional intelligence. Hope that wasnt too long and makes sense. I really appreciate the discussion!!!
9:39 the whole project is about fighting with one’s self
Oh i can def see that!! This album is probably about me🤣
I don't think the dashboard scars are from a fight 😉
The suspense though.... LOL
Please! Whenever they come back around, you two need to go to one of ST shows live. It’s a transformational experience.
It's a must!!! Probably when they tour for the next album!
7:30 self centered
I see that!!
What a great dad ❤
I appreciate that! It's tough convincing myself that I actually am sometimes... So thanks for that!
Another comment mentioned your term as "beta male" and I gotta agree it was hard to listen to that. You guys gotta be better than that. Don't be toxic. I get interpretation but that's going a bit far and then harping on it. It's not ok. Will unsubscribe as clearly your audience isn't me with that sort of rhetoric. Good luck and be better but also goodbye.
Normalize asking "is that a furry thing?" whenever a guy says they're an "alpha"
@anthonylewandowski6410 I understand what youre saying and I would agree with you, but I don't believe I weaponized that word at all. It was simply to try and find meaning in that lyric. If you believe that there was ill intent using that word then I understand. Thanks for your insight
EDIT: Unc has addressed this and it was a misunderstanding overall!
It's really disheartening to hear terms like "beta male" unironically on one of my favorite reaction channels. Another one bites the dust.
Let these men speak their mind
@@Jwizz2000 I am, by retracting my subscription and moving along.
@@earthscorcher that’s sad, they were just breaking down the lyrics lol
It’s ok, that’s today’s society. They get triggered or they hear a competing stance and they snowflake away. They’re too fragile
@@jessezamora2416this had to have been the cringiest three sentences I’ve read in a while😂
