31 year old father of 2 here. I’ve been a ST mega fan for years and I’m so hyped for thier success. Not gonna lie, I cry every time someone reacts to Fall For Me. It’s hands down one of the most emotional songs, for a band like ST that’s saying something. Can’t wait.
This one is one of my top favorites. It’s so poetic, and the cyclic nature of the song starting over again is just beautiful and heart wrenching. Hearing this one live last year was definitely a special moment
I've been waiting a while for this one, I knew you guys would love it. It's absurd how deep some of his lines can go. Also I wanted to say a person thank you. I feel like I get a lot of important life lessons from your videos that I missed out on because my dad was never around. You've taught me some important things that I would've never known otherwise
The swallowed keys line i look at as a way of saying if you keep shoving the pain aside and keeping it down and not unlocking it and letting it go youre going to cause yourself harm
Vessel is walking around in his own heart, tying bows on the heartstrings for each time she has broken it by not accepting his love but not letting him go either. He tries to cut ties with her even though he doesn't want to. Hence, he's half-slashing in the end not actually hitting, and gets stuck in the loop. Your interpretation is relevant to me. I'm a stay-at-home dad (house husband works too lol) and love it though I didn't choose it. I'm a disabled vet.
@@Nonya12608 There aren't officially released lyrics yet. We all know he says "You lie an inch apart on your own continuum" and most sources say he says "Now keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum." I think he might be saying "And I'll keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum." She's lying there emotionally distant and he wants to say things that would be considered "freak show" by someone who doesn't share those feelings. She may have only ever seen the relationship as a casual one.
This music video lends a whole new level of emotion when you watch it. The analogies in this song are down right criminal. This band is on a pedestal of their own. At the end when you wanted to stop the video 😌. It hits you very hard when you finally see what it all means. You are not alone, my man! Worship!
I think the video is a visual metaphor. The red tree maybe symbolizes his heart, all of the bows are past relationships that are gone now. The katana wasn’t literal but more like he was opening himself up to her but she dodges every attempt he makes to connect. She is guarding her heart from him, she can’t be touched, she evades. The dance symbolizes maybe a courtship or maybe just a metaphor for meeting people and never connecting with any of them as they do their own thing and dodge connections. In the end his attempts to connect kill the relationship and he goes back into the darkness before emerging to repeat the pattern again and tie another ribbon.
The song itself is very much a relationship to me. He'll find another harbor to lay his anchor in meaning he'll go somewhere else. But she'll find a way to keep from setting sail again, meaning she doesn't want him to leave. She will do what she must to keep him, but never opening fully to him. They each view Vessel as beneath her. The swallowed keys is the keys to her heart. He's warning her that if she keeps her heart locked and swallowing the keys, making it impossible for anybody to get to her, will "make you bleed internally some day". She's hurting herself and eventually it will cause her own internal damage, incapable of accepting love as she made it hard for others to get in. But maybe she believes she's better off that way. Maybe she is fighting her own demon there and he's giving her that grace. This is explored in a couple other songs as well, when Vessel gets some strength to call her on her bullshit. The chorus is a plea. He knows he can't leave her alone. He knows he's stuck here. And he's wanting her to see that as enough. This is where the album really turns to get us towards the climax which leads into Take Me Back To Eden.
The Green Light Represents the Heart Chakra, he is in his Heart, there is the same girl in different versions of herself of all the lives they have spent together, the ending is when he hasn't learned his lesson and she has and he can never get past this until he accepts the outcome or changes, when Vessel wakes up and ties the Ribbon again at the end, he has passed and been reborn again into a new life trying to resolve the past because he hasn't learned the lesson, "Karmic Soulmates"
Anyone Notice she is wearing the white Ribbon at the end when she is the stronger force then him, White Chakra, Crown Chakra. The seventh chakra is located at the top of the head. The colour of this chakra is crystal white. It governs our connection to Spirit, higher wisdom, and our sense of unity with all that is. Feminine energy in itself is not threatening to men. It's actually what masculine men are craving. Feminine power is deeply entwined with the quantum realm, where the energy of surrender and authenticity aligns with the undercurrents of the universe.
I have seen Sleep Token in Concert. It is one you will never forget. Another band that is very similar in messages would be Bad Omens which I have also seen in Concert. I would recommend listening and doing a review on the song Kingdom of Cards.
I love your interpretations of the songs sm! I took the "too many swallowed keys" line as the other person swallowing all the keys to keep their "locked heart" unlockable for, not only Vessel, but most people in their lives, but if they carry on doing that and not opening themselves up to others then they will only hurt themselves in the end.
The bows represent the amount of times hes fought for her and lost. A repetetive cycle of fighting for love and losing. The key is the keys to her heart. She wont allow him to use the key and let him in so he swallows it.
100% agreed on interpret how you want it’s not wrong. This one has always been one of my favs and with vessel I can totally imagine he had this music video in his head and wanted to make this. As always purposeful. I have seen some people say this could be vessel talking to himself again that he is full of the love he wants which I find interesting. Personally think it’s him wanting to move on and get over this relationship, but he always finds a way to stick around(keep from setting sail) still or just can’t get over her. No matter how hard he tried it never worked and unlocked the key to her heart. Then he’s trying to cut her out and it’s just not working(katana swings) and then falls on his sword…again. Dbz reference also made me laugh 😂
I mean...you could both wear the pants. My wife and I are equals. Married 23 years, our oldest of 4 is 21 and I've been a "house husband" for those 21 years. It works because we both put in enough to make that 100%. We are a team, baby.
PLease Please Please make sure to pay good attention to lyrics and the video on this next one Fall For Me! Will have messages displayed through out the video
I always thought it meant she was swallowing the keys to her heart so no one can access it. I never thought of it from the other perspective. This is mindblowing! I have a whole new appreciation for this song now. ❤
To me, this goes with some lyrics from higher. Showing that she keeps stringing him along, but she’s looking for something else. He’s full of the love she is seeking, but she keeps thinking something better is out there. She’s seeing ultraviolet, it’s not visible to the naked eye, and she’s looking for something that isn’t there. He’s seeing scarlet, full of the love she wants. She won’t open up to him though. She keeps swallowing the key to her heart, but he’s saying if you keep bottling this up it will hurt you. But despite her not wanting him as much as he wants her, he is still full of love for her
I think you guys got the part about “we’re lying an inch apart, but you’re still so far away”. It’s been implied before that the “freak show talk” could be intimate feelings and vulnerability. To someone so far away from you emotionally, telling them you love them and deeper discussions can be uncomfortable. The lyric regarding the anchor and harbor always struck me as telling her that he’s so full of love that she could have if she wanted, but she’s keeping herself from “setting sail” while he finds a different harbor (person/being/outlet) to lay his anchor (love, devotion) in. He’s so in love but starting to see that if he doesn’t move on it’s hurting both of them, and if she won’t move forward with him he’s got to leave her behind. Just my interpretation
Gods:My form is but a wreck beneath them Love you want: But I’m still full of the love you want, still waking up beneath it all To me it’s either “vessel” talking to himself, or “himself” talking to vessel…. Just like DYWTYLM.
I have a theory im sure someone has brought up somewhere before. But i think the lyrics of all of Sleep Token are deeper then just talking about interactions and the struggle for recognition and love from Sleep. I think that its about someone who is struggling with alzheimers/dementia, and when their illness is flaring up at night (Sundowning syndrome) they are hallucinating about Sleep and all of their experiences
This whole trilogy has to be about how toxic relationships affect people, especially people who have emotional issues. Sleep is a predator and Vessel is her target. He wants badly to walk away, but in the end, he'll continue to let sleep return to him when she is done with other interests.
No doubt! I’m feeling like the Sleep piece of this is still to highlight the growth we need through relationships! Relationships in general are our biggest growth tool!
The different harbor part always sounded to me like Vess was trying to get a rebound person to make her want him again, coz he knows she would go crazy if he shows signs of moving on. And this is the main reason that this song doesn't sit so well with me, coz i feel like he's hurting someone else to try to heal himself. But anyhoo, so true about being a complete person first before entering into relationships. I mean, it's fine to be maybe 80% whole, but at least whole enough where you wouldn't need to blame someone else of what becomes of you. The swallowed keys part..i don't quite understand your point, to be honest hahaha. Sorry i think i was always thinking it meant that he was telling the lady that the more she doesn't open up to him (by swallowing the keys to her heart), the more she's gonna hurt. So my mind couldn't grasp about the men being the provider? Haha Btw, welcome back little one! Your father was struggling with us when he was alone hahahaha. Always nice to hear the both of you bounce off each other. 🖤
This is one of my favourites and the contemporary dance element of the video is just 👌 Not sure I follow on the men wearing the trousers thing, I think women are sick of male insecurity and their need to be in control. Also Sleep Token are not at all a macho band! Love your reactions though 😊
"Now keep the freakshow talk" to me he's trying to get all his craziness controled like when you think you are a freak but you don't want the other person to notice or you don't want to scared them with the real you so you keep it on check at all times. But I could be wrong I mean Vessel has a way you know 😅 love love love your sleep token reactions ❤
I myself am a stay at home husband with the plan to have kids and take care of them. I don't disagree with that its all cyclical but I don't think were leaving the shores quite yet of gender norms flipping. I personally really like your interpretation of those lines. for me I see the lines meaning locking away your heart to be cold and continue on despite the pain, only to bleed it out and injure yourself in your mind and soul. So the way you put it was really cool and interesting. Keep up the amazing channel guys.
Ok, to me " keep the freak show talk to a careful minium" ? What was he doing before hand? The other person didn't want to go down the path he was talking about.
It seems your heart is locked up........too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally....I took as keys to a lock, never allowing yourself to love in return, just swallowing your feelings.
Like i said, your interpretations ARE The most correctly. This song IS FROM A PERSPECTIVE OF A MAN! Vessel IS a Red Pill Guy! Do you remember Dark Signs when he describes his beta male behavior? Here, he shows us he's realizing he cant continue on this way cause he is tired of trying.... Cant wait for Fall For Me reaction, for me is one of The most emotional songs, get READY, cause probably youre gonna Fall in tears!!!
@@ShinobiSports I appreciate the reactions but it was too much for this video for me 🤦🏼♀️ beautiful song they just kept talking in circles it’s not that big of a deal just my feed back 😅

They're gonna lose it. Tio gonna cry I just know it
The ribbons are all the failed attempts in this fight. Genius!!
One of my favorite ST songs with a great loving reaction as always.
This three video stretch is one I've been waiting for all year.
This one is one of my top favorites. It’s so poetic, and the cyclic nature of the song starting over again is just beautiful and heart wrenching. Hearing this one live last year was definitely a special moment
SO GLAD you guys felt the swallowed keys line. That shit got me big time first listen.

This reaction video was the therapy session I did not know I needed
I think the "freak show talk" is simply emotional sincerity.
Say more, please. I like the idea of this, but I'm not connecting the dots.
@@Nonya12608 There aren't officially released lyrics yet. We all know he says "You lie an inch apart on your own continuum" and most sources say he says "Now keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum."

She's lying there emotionally distant and he wants to say things that would be considered "freak show" by someone who doesn't share those feelings. She may have only ever seen the relationship as a casual one.
Maybe he's sort of telling her, "You're gonna be quiet now, and listen to my side of things"?
Repeating the same dream of events over and over. The bows representative of how many times he relived it.
I really enjoy listening to both of your thoughts on these. Thanks for the uploads!
That was great I think you all hit that nail on the head keep up the great job fellas
Thanks! Let's keep swinging the hammer!
This music video lends a whole new level of emotion when you watch it. The analogies in this song are down right criminal. This band is on a pedestal of their own.
At the end when you wanted to stop the video 😌. It hits you very hard when you finally see what it all means. You are not alone, my man! Worship!
The swallowed keys are the keys to her heart that is locked up, dude.
"too many swallowed keys, will make you bleed internally someday" BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your reaction to the swallowed keys line was perfect 😂
that slip up at 2:34 hahahaha
He was just saying the names of the ninja turtles... That's all 😶🌫️🫣😅
Anyone else in here love to get high and go for a drive and listen to Sleep Token at unreasonable volumes?????
Worship 🙏
I love that first lick on the piano.
