You guys actually going through the lyrics and dissecting the them is sooo good I watch every sleep token reaction you do because of that ... Can't wait for the other vids if you keep them up your becoming one of my favorites x
Man I can’t wait for you guys to get into the albums. Loving the dive into the lyrics and also paying attention to the way the music is written to compliment the lyrics.
"We are here to serve Sleep and project His message." is what vessel answered when asked to talk about the band's lore. Vessel encountered Sleep in a dream, Sleep promised him glory and magnificence if he follows Sleep. Each song created is a "Token" (An offering) to the deity known as Sleep.
Just to be clear, the sleep deity is a metaphor for the person he was in a relationship with. You’re not wrong for thinking this music is about a relationship. It’s just a story told through a dark and beautiful series of metaphor.
This easily one of my top fav songs of the whole discography, sooo good!! Cant wait for The Way That You Were and Jaws next too! Keep crushing it fellas!
Always love your reactions and interpretations and appreciation of the music! Excited to continue and relive the journey with you guys! 🙌🏻 I just saw them in Tampa on the 6th and it was an otherworldly experience!
@@NikkiWright-STLVR23 Oh awesome!! Where did you travel from? I was so surprised and excited that they decided to come to FL! Not a lot of bands come here anymore…not like they used to at least
@@TaraRyze I came from lower corner of Alabama. Atlanta would have been a 4 hour drive but their tickets were too high for that venue. Tampa was 6 hours from where I live so I got an Airbnb for the night. Wasn't a bad trip, my daughter had introduced me to ST last year and she's never been to a concert, so I REALLY wanted to take her to see them before she goes into the Air Force this summer. My husband, daughter and nephew all came (even though my husband isn't a fan 😭) and we enjoyed the road trip. ST was so good and worth the drive! It was going to be a drive either way because no bands really come to AL 😕
To me the line "something in the way you lay, enough to make the dead switch graves" means that she (the entity) is just so beautiful that she makes the dead turn, vessel has said things like that before
This is my favorite song off of Two and I could not wait for you guys to get to it! Major props for almost a 30-minute video, this is exactly what a song like this needs to be dissected properly, and there are still questions! This is fire as always, fellas! That "Diddy" comment had me dead! Can't wait for y'all to get into Sundowning and Tomb!
Jericho is so beautifully written and composed, I love this side of Vessel vocally, his fascetto gives me the chills. As always I love to hear your thoughts and opinions. Glad you guys are having a blast on this journey, I'm totally here for it 🫶🏻 WORSHIP
Loving the analysis guys! When you go through their catalog, you'll see Vessel has a fetish for biting, writes about teeth, a lot, "make me bleed", and they even have a song titled after the fetish if being eaten 😅 ..... Kinky stuff LMAO 🤣. But y'all are good sounding off each other's theories. The beauty of Vessel's lyrics is that so many people are touched and can relate to them with their own experiences. The genius of his lyrics and music is the emotions he can convey that most people don't know how to articulate. I saw them last week in Tampa and i still pinch myself and have to watch my videos of the concert (Ritual) to know I actually got to see them live. It was surreal! Loving these reactions guys. Thanks for the lyrical analysis, and appreciation of how talented Vessel is as a composer, lyricist and musician. Hope you do The Way That You Were and Jaws before getting into Sundowning. They are melancholic but beautiful. Til next time ✌️ Worship ❤
For me this song lore wise has always been Vessel talking about early on in his dreams where he meets sleep, each one is something he waits for but also he's uncertain if they're what he needs and he's asking out to see if Sleep is there for him too.
Only thing I’ll say is, don’t forget that sometimes vessel sings from the perspective of sleep. Sometimes he even switches perspective back and forth within the same song. It’s not always obvious though.
I honestly think he was separated from/broke up with the person he loved and he dreamt of and feels like sometimes he can only connect with her in his dreams and this is his way of expressing that and he has decided to continue sharing that story. it is very relatable for so many people. I am not sure about the lore thing I think that is a cool selling point too but yeh just my take.. they have become my fav band for sure
Considering the sleep diety that appeared to him in a dream was a male…I would say this is about his ex. Also don’t forget I’m the summoning he says I’ve turned my walls to gold to bring you home again. . He knows he put in the work and at that point he feels his hands are finally worthy.
Let’s be fr. None of this is about dreams this whole song is about sex. It’s basically back before all the trauma where him and her slept together. Examples: “You taste like new flesh” is metaphorical like when guys say they want to “taste” a woman, and the fact that she’s “new” means that he hasn’t done this with her before. “Fold secrets in the sweat, like I swallow years beneath this bed.” Is basically saying “I want this sex to make me forget the years of pain that the bed were in used to represent.” The pain is what he’s swallowing here. “Until I wake I dine on old encounters.” Means that “when we’re apart I’m still dreaming of the past times we slept together.” Which is why he says “There’s something in the way you lay.” Basically saying that something about her is different than anyone else he’s been with. Edit: Also, “My hands are not worthy.” Probably means the same thing as “I don’t deserve you.” Here.
Guys, I love how deep you've read into this, but I'm pretty sure it's just a sex jam 😂 she's so good that even his dreams of her feel like new flesh. She can make the dead switch graves.
Hi boys, I love your channel. react to the Little Mix group please, it can be any of these songs, they are all incredible, you will like it!!💜🤩👇🏼 Power ft. Stormzy Woman Like Me ft. Nicki Minaj Think about us ft. Ty Dolla Shout Out To My Ex Touch No More Sad Songs ft. Machine Gun Kelly
This is EASILY one of my favorites of all music
R&B bangerrrrr!!!!
Nephews face is my favorite
I think maybe now you might see why "TWO" is still some of my favorite music from their catalog.
Agreed!!
You guys actually going through the lyrics and dissecting the them is sooo good I watch every sleep token reaction you do because of that ... Can't wait for the other vids if you keep them up your becoming one of my favorites x
Man I can’t wait for you guys to get into the albums. Loving the dive into the lyrics and also paying attention to the way the music is written to compliment the lyrics.
I have watched a lot of sleep token reactions and you guys are giving me a whole new experience with how you break down the songs ❤️

I think the line you taste like new flesh is that it feels like it did in the beginning when they first got together before the problems.
Ohhhh! I see that!!!
Always love your reactions and interpretations and appreciation of the music! Excited to continue and relive the journey with you guys! 🙌🏻
I just saw them in Tampa on the 6th and it was an otherworldly experience!
I saw them in Tampa also 😂
Totally worth the trip to Tampa and Airbnb 😂

Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like the whole EP is the physical intimacy he had with this person and is going back to those encounters and memories….
With sleep I think
@@JGotti777 yes before she was in the accident and past away :-(
The ending is so beautiful, it’s him at his most vulnerable. But sad too.
I am so excited for you to listen to all of the ST songs.
We have more coming!
@@UncleTreborjust please save Euclid for the very last!

Look up limerence. That word. That experience. It explains the feelings in Sleep Tokens music, IMO.
It’s always a great day for #Worship 🖤
It took you a min but you got there in the end, you hit the nail on the head
They are together on and off in this story. She leaves and comes back
A lot of gospel influences with this band.. gotta love it
sleep token day!
cold blooded lyrics!!

I can't wait until you guys get to Euclid. But make sure you look up the two definitions of the word Euclid 🤘.
I honestly think he was separated from/broke up with the person he loved and he dreamt of and feels like sometimes he can only connect with her in his dreams and this is his way of expressing that and he has decided to continue sharing that story. it is very relatable for so many people.

I can definitely agree with that! Thanks for the comment!
@@UncleTrebor You're welcome!! you guys are my fav peeps to watch react to Sleep Token so THANKYOU 🙌 From Australia
You’re my favorite person from Australia! Tell everyone you know!!
@@UncleTrebor Shouting it from the rooftops right now!!
He sounds so much like late 80’s early 90’s r&b like for instance his voice sounds like one of the guys from B2M.
Moving on to Sundowning! Unless you’re gonna do Jaws & Hey Ya singles first. You’re gonna keep loving it!
Don't forget about The Way That You Were between Jaws & Hey Ya. Too many people either ignore it or don't even know about it!
I wasn’t sure if that came before or after Sundowning.
Considering the sleep diety that appeared to him in a dream was a male…I would say this is about his ex. Also don’t forget I’m the summoning he says I’ve turned my walls to gold to bring you home again. . He knows he put in the work and at that point he feels his hands are finally worthy.

Edit: Also, “My hands are not worthy.” Probably means the same thing as “I don’t deserve you.” Here.
Yep!! I can see all of this for sure!! This was great insight
Are you guys gonna continue down the rabbit hole and start doing the Sundowning album?
If you listen hard enough, the repetitive back beat, those three tones, are the same as Jaws 🤘
It’s close but not the exact patch.
@@jamesschultz8260 but purposeful to hear and get it lol
Looooong way to go until Euclid, but TRUST ME it is worth it
“getting real cannibalistic” lmao. wait till you guys listen to vore.
I've heard Vore already and it def is that!
Guys, I love how deep you've read into this, but I'm pretty sure it's just a sex jam 😂 she's so good that even his dreams of her feel like new flesh. She can make the dead switch graves.
yeah I can see that too!!
