I love watching y'all go thru the lyrics and trying to interpret them. That's the beauty of Vessel's lyrics, he writes such amazing lyrics that it literally can mean whatever you interpret them as. They're relatable to so many people. Gah, I love Vessel so much. He's so passionate and artistic, i literally could go on for days about the guy 😅. He's just insanely talented. Oooo, I'm excited to see y'all's reaction to the next one. I cried when I first heard it. 😢 It's so beautiful but melancholic. Til next time ✌️
Worship ❤
Absolutely love The Offering ❤️ It's such a banger live 🤘🏻 The crowd always go nuts when Vessel screams "Take a Bite" As always, great reaction guys, I love to hear your thoughts 👏🏻🫶🏻
Please, when you get to Blood Sport, listen to both versions, not only the version from the room below, people tend to forget the album version
As good as the room below version is, I like the album version better. The different vibes from piano to the band kicking in etc… just does more for me.
@@jamesschultz8260 Yeah, me too. And I think it's important to listen to the album version first, so you get what Vessel really intended with the song
Done deal! We're not far!!
Awesome! It's a great day to Worship ❤
This song hooked me years ago. I've been a worshipper ever since. Great reaction and breakdown guys!
My friend 🤟🏽
"Just when you thought the guitars couldnt get any dirtier" Ohh you're in for a treat😉 Excited for yall to react to Gods!
No way they can get better and darker than that... Idk... LOL
@@UncleTreborthey ain’t lying. “Gods” goes hard…REAL hard.
I feel it’s two things at once, yes it’s canonically about the goddess Sleep, but it’s also just as much about this traumatic relationship
There is no goddess of sleep. He is the god of sleep per vessel himself
I think the goddess thing is just a made up. All his writings is about love and relationship.
@@shyfullripped that’s why I said canonically, it’s a story he’s telling I’m not saying it’s real
@@JadenGrosmanOfficialwhy mention it at all then all it does is confuse people
@@darcystcorner2580 because the music is conceptual? It’s telling a story which thus isn’t real and also has a real life inspiration. I was just explaining what both are.
This song got me into sleep token
I can see that!! Its def a banger!!
Im with you, when I listen to Sleep Token, I see a toxic relationship I had and never dealt with the emotions and feelings of what that relationship was. Vessel is able to put to words what I never could and what I refused to process. I am forever grateful to him because now I can see why i had to go through what I did and how it shaped who I am
Facts!! Call it closed minded or sum but thats the only way I can see it as of now. I identify too well with it
We saw him give himself up to her in thread the needle.
You are spot on in your interpretation, she’s just not there the way he needs and wants her to be.
Yep agreed!!
For me the lore fits this way.
Sleep as a deity is Vessels personification of the trauma and glorification we put onto our lives in dreams
Facts! Also trauma will unlock secrets for this life believe it or not... So you're spot on!
I finally quit chasing my tail about the 'narrative' when I just took each song as it was meant - a token. Less about finding some big story and more about each song existing as a snapshot of the emotion the song and words evoke. In the end what stands out about Vessel's writing and performing are the emotions. Those feelings, whatever they are, connects all of us in some way, at some time, as humans. He's giving us this commonality and vehicle to feel these things and to reflect and appreciate them without the immediacy of what made them originally. If the state of being human is in some way divine, to feel these emotions is its own token of worship.
🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼
Damn... That was beautifully explained! And spot on! 🤯
I've been looking forward to this one!! Sundowning is gonna give you musical whiplash 😂 so much variety in this album. The Offering was one of the first songs I heard from them and i was instantly hooked with "turn the page" his voice is so damn beautiful. I'm a sucker for a male singing in falsetto.
I think the song is from sleeps perspective and is trying to entice vessel into taking a bite of the “forbidden fruit” so to speak
Sleep is all about wanting in, wrapping arms around, giving in etc.
I think sundowning as an album is primarily about sleep courting vessel into becoming her.. vessel lol.
But we get glimpses of vessel’s perspective in songs like “dark signs” and “drag me under” which the latter song shows us that the tempting has been wholeheartedly successful.
I definitely see that in Dark Signs!
I always look forward to your Sleep Token reactions and interpretations! I think you guys have been my favorite reactors so far! 👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for that! It really means a lot to us!
Your philosophy on what marriage should mean to a man is 💯 spot on
Thanks! Just need my boys to get it! The fate of humanity is partially stunted by our lost sense of what marriage is...
Y'all should do full album listens/reactions after you hear them individually. It definitely hits different when it's all together. Just throwing it out there but I would absolutely watch a three-hour video from y'all. This is one of the few channels that actually lets the song breathe while also giving your genuine takes. Too many channels out here just listen to the song and don't offer much analysis so y'all are ahead of the game.
You really have me thinking about how we can make it happen, but give every song it's equal analysis... We're gonna figure that out for sure! Maybe next album
I always figured that Sleep Token's worship of "sleep" is a metaphor for whatever tumultuous relationship a person has gone through, whether it be with another person or vice. I've never taken the lore literally as I believe the purpose is to be interpretive. IMO the music is whatever you feel or intuit from it, not what is literally said.
This is💯
This was the first song I heard years ago and I havent left since.
Understandable!! 🔥🔥🔥
I don’t think you’ll ever hear the lyrics reference “Sleep” directly. The story is told through metaphor and imagery. I mean, he’s constantly talking about being this person‘s sacred guardian, and making offerings (as if to a deity) etc.. But yes, you’re very much right in that, in the end, this music is an exploration of the journey of a toxic, co-dependent relationship.
I love watching you guys. Sleep token is my favorite band it’s really all I listen to so I’m living vicariously through you guys hearing these songs for the first time since i can never hear them for the first time again 😭😂
Let's keep it moving then!!! We got you!
I feel Sleep can represent this woman that he used to be with, cause there is a lot of things talking about Sleep being somewhat toxic, maybe he used to worship this woman like a goddess, so is like a metaphor maybe (?)
That's what we're trying to decode for sure! I def think its a metaphor
If you love the drums in The Offering then II the drummer has a drum playthrough without Vessel singing, it's amazing! It's actually called an Offering from II!
This was the first song I ever heard of theirs and immediately hooked, very interesting to hear your opinions on the next one Levitate
Loved the reaction, but also, Giyu Tomioka shirt 🫶🏻 Are you caught up on Demon Slayer?
Gotta start the hashira training arc but other than that yes!!
Thanks for support
Sleep in and of itself is a metaphor for the allure of suffering I think. Like unhealthy love as a compulsion for prolonged pain because you've wrapped this person up into the misplaced ideal you strive for. And the lore behind sleep token can be interpreted however you like for the most part (it's why lore is sparse) but contrary to popular belief of others I don't think these songs are ABOUT sleep itself as a deity. There are instances at live shows where he has pre-recorded conversations with sleep. He is the Vessel of Sleep and is its conduit. In exchange for some as of yet unknown price (maybe seeing the subject of these songs in his dreams again?) Vessel becomes the mouthpiece for sleep by laying bare his pain and turmoil for others to consume or even find comfort in
The Offering in this concept honestly feels like one of the only songs about sleep - he is the offering
I can def see this! I'm it'll be clearer the more we go down the road but damn... This is a great interpretation.
My first Sleep Token experience was Jaws in late 2018, but when I heard this song in 2019 I was totally hooked!
"You are a garden" could be a reference to Eden maybe?
Great reaction. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Naw it def can be!! You're on the right track with however you interpret it!
You dropping facts . Now have you all reviewed that Game Distract against Rick Ross 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Bro I can't lie... We have it recorded but never released it... Guess I have to now. Give me a few days and ill see about getting it up.
Absolute clinic by II at the end!
Sometimes II hits a lick that gives me stank face
💯💯💯
The Sleep thing is a gimmick. Its a good one. My sense is the masks and the lore are similar to a superhero philosophy of protecting themselves and the ones they love, or indeed loved and lost. Its all about the protection from deep and painful emotions. Thats just my feeling. And its fun too. Takes nothing from the music for me though. I absolutely love it. So refreshing and honest. Every offering is a cathartic purchase which buys something of that loss back - Sensitives and insomniacs will appreciate that sentiment.
Thats a great way of putting that! I can def see this as a great gimmick and way to keep the mystery and drama going.
I bloody love your reactions thank you so much for actually going through the lyrics and interpretating it your own way ❤
We bloody love you! Thanks for the support! It keeps up going for sure!
I LOVE THE OFFERING
🔥
I seen them live for my birthday a couple months ago back in April , hearing them live just doubles the emotional connection vessel makes you feel with his voice. Yall should checkout the first ever interview with any member of sleep token on drumeo , two speaks on his influences and his drumming and also plays thru some of their songs also. Blood sport ( the room below performance ) always makes me cry 😂😢
I playbthis in my car and damn near scream the lyrics i feel them so deeply its insane
Yeah that drumeo interview is insane!
I think for the shorter songs coming you guys could do double reactions, if you wanted (unless other people disagree)
Hmmm... We may consider that!
If you guys are loving the drums, check out the Drumeo vid, ii did a a couple of months ago. you will hear some newer stuff too but he actually goes into some details on his influences and how he plays. its actually the only video interview anyone in the band has done.
I saw it going down my ST rabbit hole and it is def amazing! II is on another level right now!
Sleep is referenced to in their live shows during song breaks. There are conversations between Sleep and Vessel.
I need said conversations stat!!
Honestly fell like this is such an underrated song on the catalog. Granted, is hard to find a Sleep Token song not to like.
This is creeping up as possibly the top
song!
Quick thought: song 2 off all the albums seem connected thru the music, and also thru the lyrics teeth,bite, and taste.
What’s yalls thoughts on it?
I do see that... I don't put it passed Vessel to even think that far through it. But even the EPs fit that bill I think! Thats a great observation!!
There is a reason this song with Sleep Token’s number 1 song on Spotify before TMBTE dropped (along with Alkaline from TPWBYT so you’re in for more hidden gems!).
I can see that for sure!! Really cant wait for TPWBYT!
The music is the offering to sleep. Ie The Offering
I also see this as an offering and sacrifice of himself to his higher self...
"Chokehold" for sure has to be next.
I wish!! But we are going song by song chronologically until we get there 😅
Y'all are my favorite reaction channel and I must say I appreciate your breakdown of lyrics.
I would love if you guys checked out the first and last song of the trilogy which are 'The night doesn't belong to God' and 'Euclid' I feel like listening to those two songs back to back really helps paint the picture. The deity is truly a metaphor for a relationship and it really makes sense when you listen to those two songs. Just my opinion but I hope to see you react to these songs.
Great work! Love it all 👌🏻
The night does not belong to god is up now!!
Really appreciate the support!
He says "give up the game and let me in; my arms belong around you..." not sure if that changes your interpretation of the lyrics or not. I'm excited to see your next reaction! The next one is a tear jerker for sure.
This is probably my favorite line of all their songs . The longing is manifested in agony .
Yeah i identify with that very much!
This is one of the ones I’ve been waiting for. Y’all didn’t disappoint.
We appreciate that! Which are the other ones you are waiting for?
This entire song is just II flexing from start to finish. A masterclass.
No doubt!!
