Don't feel like you can't cry to this, he cries while singing it live, and the album version ends with him crying as well.
"You're still my weapon of choosing" I take this to mean that he uses her to harm himself. Its the viciousness thats addicting and he is Aware that their union is self-destructive but despite that she has all the power because he gives it to her.
What I like about Sleep Token is that his lyrics are aware that it takes two to tango. Not he nor his love are heroes. Shes likely a vile and toxic heartless woman and hes no better.
But the songs show a reflection and growth and become so beautiful in that light.
I visualized something slightly similar...instead of flowers I would make a scene with him on a huge mound of metal/wires, no nature from foreground to horizen. He is holding the last vestige of life...a single rose with with its last pedal separating and wilting as it falls onto the foreign cold ground....not even in death can it find solace in the familiarity it soo yearns to embrace if even for a fleeting moment. Just where my thoughts took me when listening to Vessels torment.
WOW! Thank you for sharing this reaction BriMarie Ann. Such a beautiful, honest response to a beautiful, brutally honest song.
I often can’t listen to this version of the song because it is so emotional and painful.
The song that follows on from this is Atlantic, the opening track from the second album This Place Will Become Your Tomb (2021), and I think you’ll love it too.
I’m really enjoying your reactions to Sleep Token and can’t wait to see more.
W O R S H I P
thank you so much for taking the time to comment all of this i love it! You are right that this song is brutally honest and because of that I felt safe to be vulnerable and really feel the song. ITS SO PAINFUL. idk how im going to continue to be put through this LMFAO
Excited more Sleep Token. Love your reactions! Keep being great, much love from Germany
BRO you were so fast. thank you so much. much love to youuuuuuuuuuu
I just got to the part where you heartbreakingly say "oh he blames himself..." please check out Nazareth off their Two EP 😏
Broooo it was so sad. I will check it out thank you!
Its a beautifully sad thing...u dont just hear it u feel it...
It means u have a soul 💯
Awesome reaction ❤
I honestly feel that the two versions of the song have different interpretation. The piano version is more of grief and sorrow of a love lost. And the visualizer version is him raging and trying to still hold on to something thats not there.
If you do listen to another Sleep Token song you should listen to Jaws.
I can’t wait to react to it! I will definitely look into jaws! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Fair warning that Sleep Token is gonna make you cry a LOT. I’m not usually affected a lot by music but this band just reaches into your soul and forces those emotions out of you.
That said… it’s actually really refreshing to see someone react so strongly, because it’s so real and it’s how this music was meant to make you feel. And it’s good to see other people who are as moved by his work as I am, you know?
Also, the album version of this (the one that’s just a visualizer on their channel) is great too, and has its own special heartbreaking moments at the end.
I'm right there with you. Some bands/artists have one maybe 2 songs that will make me tear up if I'm in a bad mood, but sleep token has 2 or 3 songs on each album that make me tear up almost every time.
and TMBTE dropped right as I was going through my first real breakup (23 yo at the time, never cared to date in highschool) so that whole album will forever strike a chord with me and will always remind me of her, the wonderful memories we shared and it will always make me think of all the memories we could have made if we would've met at a different time in our lives. And the lines "But I finally think I can say, That the vicious cycle was over, The moment you smiled at me" from Rain especially hit home.
Its just crazy how relatable a band of nameless, faceless people can be to so many people. It seems like there's a song or lyric that will apply directly to almost anyone's personal situation in life. And that fact alone is enough to make me love Sleep Token.
OH NO i didn't realise that this wasn't the original version :"'''''( either way it was amazing and i can't imagine it being more heartbreaking idk if my heart could handle the visual version blesssss. thank you for watching and really feeling the song with me. i know im not alone 😗
@@nexino802 I'm so happy sleep token can be a safe space for you to feel and reminsce. this is why i love music. nothing can replace it.
@@BriBeeReacts There are two versions of the song, the album version and this one, and this is definitely the version people wanted you to react to because it’s so much more gut-wrenching. So you got the right one for sure!
@@miss__anthropy omg thank god. Thank you!
On the album version even tho has a heavier musical element the ending of that version has vessel crying over the piano solo
I have to react to it!
OMG Bri! Thank you so much for this incredible reaction!! Seeing you open up and be vulnerable makes me feel okay to have the same emotions. I cant wait for the next one, I love hearing your thoughts on these songs so much!!!
broooo omg 😙you are safe to cry here with me! if i can cry on the internet like this then you can cry with me too!
Great reaction and good analysis. Keep up the good work
thank you so much!💛
So this is actually the alternate version of the song, the version that’s actually on the album is different, but that still works because once you get to the end of sundowning then you can just listen to the studio version of this song
I realized this a little too late 😭
My man Vessel always making this girlies weak. 😂✊
And I dont mind frequent pausing especially if it helps the reactor avoid copyright but you can always tell a Rap listener because they have to pause and analyze every. single. dang. lyric. 😂 Bit much for me but to each their own I suppose. I just dont know how you can enjoy a first listen like that! Let the track cook a bit! 😊 💜
Thank you so much! Welcome to the beehive! ❤️🐝
It's nice to see someone react so sincerely that I can truly relate to. I'll just say this. For some reason, ST makes my heart beat in the correct rhythm again, no other way that I can put it...
wow great reaction, so many totally miss the meaning
One of my favorite songs by them. Usually I have something more to say but this time the song is enough.
Lovely review.
The Love You Want would be an amazing one for you to review as I know you'd get deep into the lyrics and the video that goes with it.
The Way That You Were and Jaws are others that you'd enjoy along with the videos.
thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I will def have to look into those songs. more reactions coming soon. thank you so much again
Never clicked on a video so fast :D been waiting for this! Great reaction as always!
I KNOW YALL BEEN WAITING!!!!!!! thank you so much for watching! more to come 💛
Sugar by Sleep token is a great one as well
I haven’t heard of that one I’ll have to check it out!
Thank you for your honest reaction. Don't ever change. Have a hug 🫂

"i wanna be forgiven, i wanna choke up chunks of my own sins" is such a vulnerable line. coming from a place of wanting to be a good person and be forgiven by your creator for all of the bad things you've done. vessels lyricism is beyond nearly any band i have ever listened to in this regard. every song is a complete self reflection that forces you to look inwards and put all of your insecurities and anxiety in the forefront of your mind.
So so true
This one's a tearjerker 😭
He poured his heart and soul in this performance, maybe that's the reason why he is called "Vessel"
He’s called Vessel because he is a vessel for Sleep’s message; essentially a middle man between Sleep and the fans. And the songs are tokens of their devotion to Sleep. Hence the name: Sleep Token. ☺️ Technically all the band members are vessels (so like II, the drummer, is technically Vessel II, but we shorten it to II), but since Vessel (aka Vessel I) is the one who created all this, he gets the main title of Vessel.
literally omg
I am not one for terminology like "honey" or "sweetie" or that kind of infantilizing language but I kept thinking "oh honey you're not even at the tearjerker bits yet"
Lol!!
I would give anything to hear this song for the first time again. It is just such a beautiful and real song
This intro is probably the most cringe shit I 've ever seen.......
Sorry you don’t like it! But it’s fun!
15:12 the Loki Films thing at the end gets 'em every time lol.
Looking forward to your reaction of the album version of 'Bloodsport' when you get to the end of Sundowning and how it compares to this version. Sonically I like the album version better, but when it comes to the feels, doesn't get much better than The Room Below. Keep up the good work, Bri. 😊
🥺🥺🥺 thank you so much
I somewhat consider the piano to be literally playing his heartstrings
YES for sure
"Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing" - Basically, the atom's split. It's their relationship coming to an end.
"I'm still your favourite regret." - She cared for him deeply, but regrets being with him.
"You're still my weapon of choosing." - She's still what he still uses to hurt himself.
I havent cried to this song in a while but you made me tear up again lol. This song is so beautiful and full of emotion.
Oh my god I cried again with this song for like... I don't know ... the twenty seven time because of your reaction 😭, the first time I heard this song, it literally destroyed me, I think if I didn't understand English or if the lyrics were in a language I didn't understand, it would destroy me in the same way without a doubt, because of the passionate way Vessel manages to sing and transmit all his sorrow,oh gosh
NOOO im sorry i made you cry ahahahha!! But you right because I listen to a lot of foreign music and some of it still makes me cry so
Stuck in a quantum patern, tangled with what I never said is deeper than you touched on. In physics, 2 particles can be entagled in what is called quantum entanglement. These 2 particles are forever bound and act identically no matter the distance between them. This means that he is forever entangled with everything he never said and can never escape it, it will haunt him eternally. This is a testament to he fact that in any relationship, if something needs to be said, you better get it out or you will likely live to regret it as Vessel does.
The part about atoms stopped fusing is in reference to a dying star. When a stars atoms stop fusing into usable fuel, the star dies.
Good reaction! I enjoyed it, keep up the work!
Ty for the scientific explanation! I never got the scientific references..i juz felt sad coz of how he sang it
why youtube didn't notify me 😭 anyway I'm here and reay
That’s okay!! I posted on twitter and the community page too!
You got emotional with this one. Imagine listening to the real version on the album and hearing him cry. You'd be done.
While this version is ok, I don't like how it separates Vessel from the band. They could still play it unplugged if you will without focusing on Mr Faulkner. It's still good, album version is a masterpiece though.
Beautiful reaction! And couldn't agree more, its that toxic cycle of endless collateral damage but he doesn't mind bc its better than not feeling at all. First time I ever watched this it literally crumbled me to my knees, totally wrecked.
Don't forget the EP's. When the bough breaks from "One" is amazing. Keep up the great reactions.
Will do! Thank you so much 💛💛
Yo your analysis for the first time is so spot on. Good stuff! I would love to see your analysis of Missing Limbs by them. It’s another tear jerker
“Science lesson”. The atoms stopped fusing actually refers to the death of a star. Fusion happens under immense amounts of pressure which is what happens in the center of a star and is it’s source of energy. Once the atoms at the center of a star stop fusing, there is no longer an energy source to fuel the star. A few things can happen. The star might shed it’s outer layers becoming a dimmer, colder star. Or if the star is extremely heavy, the force from the fusion was the only thing keeping the star from collapsing on itself. Either way, he’s using the death of a star as a metaphor.
And the second line “stuck in a quantum pattern, tangled with what I never said” is another science reference using quantum entanglement. Basically when 2 or more particles cannot be defined without referring to the other, even if seemingly unrelated. Being bound to something he never said. Gotta love this dudes metaphors.
He definitely goes back and forth. At the beginning he says “Won’t you pay for your arrogance” but at the end he says “Let me pay for my arrogance”
I’m an atheist but you’re right. Even as an atheist I take accountability for my wrongs and make amends where I have to. It frees you from that guilt
Omg, plz just do their entire discography, they're doing exactly the same thing to you that they did to me with their music. Big hug from Paraguay ❤
Definitely suggest you watching and reacting to the video of “Fall for me” !
I think there’s another layer on top of the quantum entanglement where he says, “stuck in a quantum pattern, tangled with what I never said.” Quantum theory also goes on to say that if you have a quantum particle its state can be either a 0 or a 1 or anything in between. We don’t know what it’s state is and if we observe it the wave function of the particle breaks down (I’m combining and oversimplifying a few theories). So she “knows” what he said. He also “knows” what he said/never said and they are opposite. But the actual state of what he said, the truth, doesn’t even matter.
BROOOOOOOOO WE GOT A ROCKET SCIENTIST OVER HERE. dude that is so crazy that there are layers upon layers on almost every lyric. Thank you for also putting that in a way I could understand it too, that is a complicated subject to explain.
@@BriBeeReacts I love his wordplay in this song. He refers to the concept of quantum entanglement.
Layers and Layers. He's like an onion. Or a parfait, depending on if you prefer Shrek or Donkey.
Here's a simple definition of quantum entanglement:
Quantum entanglement is a bizarre, counterintuitive phenomenon that explains how two subatomic particles can be intimately linked to each other even if separated by billions of light-years of space. Despite their vast separation, a change induced in one will affect the other.
super super cool stuff. being stuck in another dimension where atoms don't fuse....that line hit me so different especially as I was talking about it the more i realized the depth of whathe was saying. craziness
@@likwified
Girl you hit the nial right on the head with this. I realate to this song so much cause me and my wife always fight and argue but we still love each other even though we both mess up.
You should def listen to the album version :-) reaction or no reaction
Highly recommend their cover of Hey ya and When the party's over.
Thanks. I guess I needed to release a few stars from my eyes this morning too
Haha I love that metaphor! I have never heard that
@@BriBeeReacts lol I’ve never said it before. Felt fitting
Before doing more of the album, do their song the way that you were
Thank you for the recommendation! I will totally do it
@@BriBeeReacts get your tissue ready
great reaction! ngl i'm still looking for the bee LMFAO
little hinty hint. I started crying when it showed up.
Can’t wait for the summoning. And Jaws 🫢
You should also do "the way that you were" and "high water"
Can’t wait for you to do Atlantic and Euclid 😢
Please react to "is it really you?" this song is a very special one too
i shed tears with you girl, they do this to me often..
I went through the exact situation of this song too
Thank you again. I haven't cried to a reaction in a while. You continue blend with how I feel with this music. Good job.
Omg thank you 😭 this one is definitely a song that makes you cry
♥... thats all i can say... you have a beautiful soul, and i want to thank you for that, from one empath to another. Thank you for this reaction. ♥
🥺 thank you 💞
This is such a great song! This is the first version of this song I listened to as well then heard the album track that has more instrumentals, Vessel is so vulnerable here he’s so amazing! Just saw them live in Portland and they soooo good live! Great vid Bri!
THANK YOU TIM! I’m so happy to see you here!
I love how much you felt this. Excellent reaction to such a beautifully painful song.
Thank you 😭 I can’t wait to film again
@@BriBeeReacts 🤗
Another great reaction, another band I'd recommend reacting too is starset
ooooooooo ive never heard of themm hehehe i will look into it!!! 🤪😁
@@BriBeeReacts another band with deep lyrics
@@ryanbullock2337 I’m a sucker for that
