"My insecurities surround me like lions in the den, and I feel like I'm losing touch with what I am again." That lines hits me almost equally as hard every time I listen to it. Beautiful
Same... I'm sketching the melody of that line into my upcoming tattoo design. It's a siren and flowy music staff with this song's melody for notes. It's even more meaningful now that I've seen this video. 😮
The written text across the video: The truth is I am due a harsh lesson In truth itself and how bitter it can be Will you teach me? The truth is, I am ugly, I am inadequate, I am lost I am No God The truth is, I want, to want, to live And so Do you I Just Can't Do This Any Longer I am afraid Are you afraid? I want to understand What it is To let go So for now let me serve as a living drama of your pain If we are to be submerged let us be submerged Together 💜
It goes both ways. It can be a lover seeking to mend their ways, or to let go of someone even though they still care for them. This song/video is beautifully done.
to be honest i don't mind if Sleep Token doesn't have chugging guitars in their songs i just want to listen to Vessel's voice singing me sad love songs while i stare at the ceiling feeling like worthless piece of shit.
My guy your version of Hypnosis , is epic dude, you totally put you that version instead of trying to sound like Vessel,well done sir, you have paid your dues to the deity Hypnos \m/arcus \m/alice
I owe you such a huge debt of appreciation, through seeing your version of Hypnosis brought me to my now favorite band of all time, through your gift to us in your cover I have been able to grieve , to ache, to mourn, to self loath, to be guilty, to , be, Thank you Will
"So for now let me serve as a living drama for your pain If we are to be submerged let us be submerged Together" My initial interpetation is, someone who already carries so much, offering to bear the emotional weight, allowing others to live through them, even though they feel like they have so little to give and so much hurt. I had listened to this song several times before watching the music video, and seeing those words flash on the screen felt simultaneously like a hug and like an icicle stabbed into my chest. He gives so much to us in his music, by wearing the mask, it feels like we can feel through him, you can see yourself reflected back, and he wants us to be able to have that comfort, even though he's scared too. We can be scared together, we can feel the pain together. I love Sleep Token
I had always interpreted these lyrics as a love song, but I find it wonderful that a lyric like "fall for me" can have several nuances, also referring to what you say about a person who carries the emotional weight of others.
And this is what we mean by Worship. We don’t worship the band or sleep. We worship each other and the pain we have all been through, no matter how severe it is. We worship the struggle and recovery of each other. ✌🏼
Ehhh, not by a long shot. I think you can only say this if you haven't heard their whole discography. Music is subjective, and it's perfectly valid if this is the song that speaks to you on those levels most. But when it comes to tonal, lyrical and emotional heaviness, when it comes to their integrity, objectively speaking, this is pretty low down on the ST scale of songs.
@@fe4rr74 I could name about 25 songs here that are much more tonally, lyrically and emotionally heavy than Fall For Me. Saying this is THE top one completely undermines Sleep Token as a whole, or just purely misunderstands the intention of each song, which is to have multiple, or 'double' meanings. If one were to argue this song is their most vulnerable as the people behind ST themselves, then that might be right. But it's definitely not the most heavy in other regards. Check out their earlier releases like One, Two, and Jaws. There's already some stuff there that's undeniably very high on the scale, but that's not all.
Thanks for reminding me of Imogen Heap. I was literally thinking of the chorus of Jason Derulo's "Whatcha say" and forgot about the original song and artist.

Imagine loving someone so much that doesn't feel the same as you and knowing that regardless of what happens you feel as if you are bound to those feelings for eternity. Forever longing for the love to be reciprocated, hence "Won't you fall for me?". The way that Vessel portays the idea in the lyrics of this song is absolutely beautiful and incredibly devastating upon further reflection. Absolutely gorgeous melodies and the use of the harmonizer in this song is absolutely wonderful. Hitting all the feels with this one. Love this. W O R S H I P
I'm there right now. I feel like I'm insane because my brain tells me I need to leave her alone, because she lies.. she cheats.. she manipulates... I even lose my own morals when I'm with her, and do things I normally wouldn't do... yet still even though I know all of this.. every time she walks by and looks at me.. my heart races and I just want to talk to her. It's like she has a spell on me.. when I'm away from her I know FULL WELL she does not really care about me. it doesn't make sense. and I know for a fact that even though I told EVERYONE I'm done with her for good.... that if she came up to me and asked me if we could fix things.. I could not say no to her.. what the fuck..
I was just reading somewhere that "city of ice" is another term for the bottom of the ocean, and the "burning cathedrals" refer to natural hydrothermal vents that emit chemicals which deep sea creatures feed off of (I remember learning about this from The Magic School Bus, but the terms are new to me), while "fall for me" refers to both falling in love and "fallen whales," ie whale corpses which float to the bottom of the ocean which those same sea creatures feed off of, circle of life and all that. If that's the case, then the lyrics can be interpreted as "I'm sinking and I need you to dive down and save me" or "I've already sunk, I need you to dive down here and be with me so at least I can suffer with someone I love." I'm guessing that, in this video, the ocean is receding, leaving a desert in it's place, and the guy is trying to get back to the bottom of the ocean were he feels he belongs, like how when you're feeling hopeless, all you want to do is stay in that state because, as bad as it is, you're just so familiar with it that it feels "right." Heavy stuff. EDIT: Just rewatched the video. I get it now: it's a suicide song. He's begging someone he loves to talk him out of killing himself. When he screams "OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE!" while the words "I just can do this any longer" flash on the screen, he's saying "I don't want to go through with it, but I'm afraid I will if you don't stay here with me in my time of need" (since suicide isn't the desire for death, just the desperation to not live with depression any more). "I want to, want to, live," I think, speaks for itself. EDIT EDIT: Ok, I didn't know about this band having a sort of mythology about it, now understand that all of their songs are Vessel singing to Sleep. Still, I like that it's at least a little open to interpretation. EDIT EDIT EDIT: I've changed my mind, I don't think this is a suicide song any more. I think I was getting it too mixed up with the message in the music video, but the song itself is more of an "I love you, God" song. Y'know, "Oh Lord, help me in my darkest hour, lift me out of the darkness and show me the way," etc. But I also think it's an unrequited love song FOR God, or in this case Sleep. Listening to the rest of this band's output, I feel safe in saying that a). Vessel is more devoted to Sleep than Sleep is devoted to him, and b). the lore is mostly arbitrary and really just there for fun.
I know this is an old comment now, but I just wanted to say that all your interpretations are valid and most likely meant to be read that way. You've genuinely taught me about the whale fall and hydrothermal vents idea of this. Sleep Token are a fantastic band and their songs are often incredibly emotionally raw and speak of very dark times they've gone through. They so very often refer to scientific or biological functions as metephors within their lyrics (Alkaline anybody?). I love the lore of Sleep and all the songs being in worship of It, its what got me in to them in the first place, but I personally feel its a framing device for a gimmick of intriguing anonymity. The masks are a protection against the vulnerability these songs speak of. I guess my point is, there are layers within layers to the image, music and presentation of this band, and I honestly think that if a theory ever occurs to you for a song, chances are it was intended as a possible reading for it. Anyways, I hope you are well and worship ❤
@gabe_s_videos I’d made silly mistakes devastating the lives of my fam, and my wife and kids have been paying for it coming 4 years now. And everything I’ve tried to do, nothing has made it any better. I’m 51, and this Sat past whilst alone at home out on the balcony, I’d finally hit my breaking point. After holding on for all this time. And I stumbled onto ST for the very first time, and this specific vid. It’s unreal. A shockingly complete articulation of my inner being in under 3mins, and by complete strangers no less. And yes, I’d sent the link of it to my wife. But I honestly didn’t know why. Thank you.
@@davidma22 Possibly? Honestly, the more I think about this, the more I think I’m reading more into the video than into the song itself. The lyrics are more of an “I love you god” song, a devout follower asking the god he prays to for salvation and lift them out of the darkness.
[Verse 1] In a city of ice, there are burning cathedrals Turning the skies into glass And through echoing futures, over buckling sutures That hold shut the wounds of the past [Chorus] So won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? Through a fractured existence, won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity, won't you fall for me? [Verse 2] My insecurities surround me like lions in the den And I feel like I'm losing touch with what I am again Slowly, I remember why I cannot pretend That I never think of you in all this screaming silence (Oh God, I wish you were here) [Chorus] So won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? Through a fractured existence, won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity, won't you fall for me? (Oh God, I wish you were here) Won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me? With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me, from reality? I am yours in the end, so won't you fall for me?
I personally like to believe this is Vessels love song to us, the worshippers, because despite his pain he knows we love him no matter what demons are hiding behind the mask, and yes we have all fallen for him.
Recently discovered this band, listened to their discography twice through. Vessel has such an emotional voice, almost a lament in delivery. When i first heard this song, i burst into tears (also to Are You Really Okay? and when Vessel cries at the end of Bloodsport). Such great music; euphoria through melancholy.
I’ve had incredible difficulty putting my finger on what allows this band to pack such an emotional punch and I think you put it perfectly: euphoria through melancholy. Well put.
This song is hauntingly beautiful. It puts me in almost a subspace sort of state. I cry ugly tears, every single time I hear it. I have watched this video more times than I can count, and probably more than healthy for my current mental state. I stare, open-mouthed and dead eyed, at the screen as my soul shatters and my heart breaks. So, it should really come as no surprise to me that I was today years old when I found out the words on screen between scenes are *another* beautifully written and soul shaking masterpiece. Vessel is a fucking genius. WORSHIP 🙌🏻💙
How stunning. Silence has become accompaniment and the fact that this is the 18th song, the turn of trilogy's total of 36 songs. Vessel is truly the saddest genius.
This song is a beautiful insight to vessel beyond the mask. Whilst we all wish not to know who he is directly. This look into his battle against his own person is a unique take for Sleep Token. Its simply Vessel letting it out, no drums, no guitars, no piano, just him, vocalising what he feels. Despite not having any instrumentals, i perosnally see this as their heaviest song, thst i for one reasonate with. Its that sinking vulnerability that a lot of people feel, its dark and almost disturbing. And Vessel, unmasked, reveals this vulnerability in such a poetic way. This is why i love this band so dearly. Worship.
We really have gone full circle. From the teaser of Vessel's mask lying in the sand, to the music video of the third single of the sophomore album, releasing in a week. What a ride it has been! Worship
@@0_Ka-Bar_0 I love them personally. It's awesome to see a unique band like this evolve and really come into their own. We're all different though, so to each their own :)
@@ZL1LoVeR hey man enjoy... I'm not into whole sect thingy they are doing. If I'll worship somebody he's gonna be as good as Gavin Harrison. Or Maynard, who's got shit load more to say and said it better. And he's got Danny Carey on his side.
This is still one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Coming back to this video feels like such a forbidden treat, a glance behind the curtain. Following Vessel into the deep, willing the tide to pull us further under the waves. Blissful submersion 🩵
In a city of ice there are burning cathedrals Turning the skies into glass And the echoing futures are the beckoning sutures That hold shut the wounds of the past So won’t you fall for me, won’t you fall for me Through a fractured existence, won’t you fall for me Won’t you fall for me, from reality To the rhythm of eternity, won’t you fall for me My insecurities surround me like lions in the den And I feel like I’m losing touch with what I am again And slowly I remember why, I cannot pretend That I never think of you and all this screaming silence (Oh God I wish you were here) So won’t you fall for me, won’t you fall for me Through a fractured existence, won’t you fall for me Won’t you fall for me, from reality To the rhythm of eternity, won’t you fall for me Won’t you fall for me, won’t you fall for me With my love as your garden, won’t you fall for me Won’t you fall for me, from reality I am yours in the end so won’t you fall for me
I heard this on spotify first and did agree that this feels like an album break song and couldn't understand why it was released as a stand alone single one week before the album. But watching the video I was captivated, there he goes into the water... and I am now ready for This Place Will Become Your Tomb
As someone who has recently found this music when alkaline dropped , it’s been nothing but beautiful. Every aspect in what’s created. This music hits to the core. I’ve listened to this song at least 30 times already. Can’t wait for the album to release.
While we all ugly cry over how insane this song is, let’s remember to thank George Lever for executing something as simple-yet-INTENSE song flawlessly 😭
This is it guys, last single before the album drops next week. I don't know if I'm mentally ready for this but regardless I am hyped. As usual any corrections and suggestions are more than welcome. Worship. Lyrics; In a city of ice there are burning cathedrals, Turning the scars into glass. And through echoing futures of a buckling suture, That holds shut the wounds of the past. So won't you fall for me, Won't you fall for me. Through a fractured existence, Won't you fall for me. Won't you fall for me, From reality. To the rhythm of eternity, Won't you fall for me. My insecurities surround me like lions in the den, And I feel like I am losing touch with what I am again. Slowly I remember why I cannot pretend, That I never think of you and all this screaming silence. Oh God I wish you were here. So won't you fall for me, Won't you fall for me. Through a fractured existence, Won't you fall for me. Won't you fall for me, From reality. To the rhythm of eternity, Won't you fall for me. (Oh God I wish you were here) Won't you fall for me, Won't you fall for me. With my love as your garden, Won't you fall for me. Won't you fall for me, From reality. I am yours in the end, So won't you fall for me.
I think its city of ice not vines. It makes sense too because of the later line of turning the skies into glass. Ice is very reminiscent of glass. I could make a lot more allusions to ice and cold and cities that could fit the theme of the song more so than vines. But on the same note.. vines would be more realistic; post apocalyptic scene with nature retaking cities.. and buildings catching fire etc.
@@grtfl_thank you're welcome! I kinda miss the fortnightly release schedule but I'm beyond excited to experience most of the album firsthand next week!
I've NEVER just started crying to a song. This band gives such a visceral musical experience that I was overwhelmed...and all this song has is vocals with slight ambient music behind. How?
I have never ever in my entire life heard something so catchy, meaningful and unique. This straight up is a gem and art at the same exact moment. Without any beats, their signature drums, they managed to catch the listeners heart. Jesus christ with only one what, rhythm? Dude, this band is going big in no time. I promise
The best thing about Sleep Token is that they manage to make literally any kind of music sound great. From Gods to this, they’re both equally great. Cannot wait for next Friday!
If this song doesn’t resonate with you you were too young for this to now make you nostalgic for the imogen heap era of the early 2010s, the vocoder sound is iconic. Every emo kid’s guilty indulgence. This is one of my favorite singles they’ve released, can’t wait for the album drop.
For 13 years, i held love for my best friend. We met online and heard each other's life stories. We felt each other's pain, but we were both in places we could never say how we felt. Just this year, we were able to finally say what we wanted to. This song is exactly how i felt the past decade. She fell for me and i hope now for all eternity
Man, as good as the song is on its own merits, the on screen text just produces a visceral reaction in me every time. Quit making me feel things, it's painfully cathartic and I don't know how to deal with it.
Nothing hits every level of my being and reflects /echoes the complexity of consciousness and the human condition with as much exquisite precision as Sleep Token's music and more specifically Vessels vocals. These songs make me feel/experience such a spectrum of vibrations and emotions. It is stunning I am in awe Sleep Token is everything music and creative expression should be . Worship
that would be killer. This intense heartbreak and depression led him to surrender himself to the sea and in his sinking to the ocean floor he was saved by the entity known as Sleep and thats how he got his "powers" and ended up in that trial by combat from the last video...stuck in purgatory until he masters his new abilities. DOPE
I cant put into words how much i relate to this song and how much the words on the screen describe how i feel everytime im around anyone cause i never feel seen as myself so thank you for making my thoughts such a beautiful song 🎵
This was such a beautiful experience. It felt like somebody was gripping my soul with their hands and desperately holding on tight. It feels like a genuine spiritual moment when I fall into this band's music, I can't even explain it. I just feel like a piece that I never knew had been chipped off of my heart years ago made its way here. Worship.
This song especially touched my heart the moment I heard it. Just the vocals... the ethereal sensation of being out of reality and hearing someone else's passion, their plea and desire. I am so moved seeing this video at last. It's absolutely important to me. I understand these feelings of fear so well. Thank you, Vessel.

THIS FUCKING BAND MAN. Haw do you guys make me feel like im useless but worth something at the same time? Im crying about my past but happy for the future. My emotions are all over the place, crying, smiling, screaming, shaking, OBSESSING. i love you guys sm you saved me
I cant even begin to describe the beauty I find in this track. Sleep Token have done it again, touched all of my emotions at once and left me wanting to listen over and over again! Worship!!
There is such a heavily imbued set of emotions in every word, this song is absolutely beautiful ❤ overwhelming but its such a releasing lesson. Worship 🖤
I am so blown away, it’s beautiful. This type of approach with the vocoder always hits me in the feels. The way so many different notes in the harmonies are just floating and settling. You can actually see them moving when you close your eyes.
Sleep token just found me and I'm so glad they did. Such a powerful song for so many people and so many reasons. Every time i listen to this song it speaks to me a different way each time. Thank you sleep token
I love that the sound changes and you never know what to expect with Sleep Token. People would complain if the album sounded exactly the same as the last one. Can’t please everyone. There’s nothing out there like this band, and their diversity and how they make each sound fit into the next make them stand out. Ready to get emotional next week!
The truth is I am due a harsh lesson In truth itself and how bitter it can be Will you teach me? The truth is, I am ugly, I am inadequate, I am lost I am no god The truth is, I want, to want, to live and so do you I just can’t do this any longer I am afraid Are you afraid? I want to understand what it is to let go So for now let me serve as a living drama of your pain If we are to be submerged, let us be submerged Together.

My initial interpetation is, someone who already carries so much, offering to bear the emotional weight, allowing others to live through them, even though they feel like they have so little to give and so much hurt.

Hey man, good to see you here in the comments! You’re bang on with it all too 💙
WORSHIP
I’ve come to know that exact feeling in the past 2 years…
speaking from my heart man. Trying to learn how to deal with it. And trying to cling on to the last bit of hope..
I'm there right now. I feel like I'm insane because my brain tells me I need to leave her alone, because she lies.. she cheats.. she manipulates... I even lose my own morals when I'm with her, and do things I normally wouldn't do... yet still even though I know all of this.. every time she walks by and looks at me.. my heart races and I just want to talk to her. It's like she has a spell on me.. when I'm away from her I know FULL WELL she does not really care about me. it doesn't make sense. and I know for a fact that even though I told EVERYONE I'm done with her for good.... that if she came up to me and asked me if we could fix things.. I could not say no to her.. what the fuck..
I was just reading somewhere that "city of ice" is another term for the bottom of the ocean, and the "burning cathedrals" refer to natural hydrothermal vents that emit chemicals which deep sea creatures feed off of (I remember learning about this from The Magic School Bus, but the terms are new to me), while "fall for me" refers to both falling in love and "fallen whales," ie whale corpses which float to the bottom of the ocean which those same sea creatures feed off of, circle of life and all that. If that's the case, then the lyrics can be interpreted as "I'm sinking and I need you to dive down and save me" or "I've already sunk, I need you to dive down here and be with me so at least I can suffer with someone I love."
I'm guessing that, in this video, the ocean is receding, leaving a desert in it's place, and the guy is trying to get back to the bottom of the ocean were he feels he belongs, like how when you're feeling hopeless, all you want to do is stay in that state because, as bad as it is, you're just so familiar with it that it feels "right."
Heavy stuff.
EDIT: Just rewatched the video. I get it now: it's a suicide song. He's begging someone he loves to talk him out of killing himself. When he screams "OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE!" while the words "I just can do this any longer" flash on the screen, he's saying "I don't want to go through with it, but I'm afraid I will if you don't stay here with me in my time of need" (since suicide isn't the desire for death, just the desperation to not live with depression any more). "I want to, want to, live," I think, speaks for itself.
EDIT EDIT: Ok, I didn't know about this band having a sort of mythology about it, now understand that all of their songs are Vessel singing to Sleep. Still, I like that it's at least a little open to interpretation.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: I've changed my mind, I don't think this is a suicide song any more. I think I was getting it too mixed up with the message in the music video, but the song itself is more of an "I love you, God" song. Y'know, "Oh Lord, help me in my darkest hour, lift me out of the darkness and show me the way," etc. But I also think it's an unrequited love song FOR God, or in this case Sleep. Listening to the rest of this band's output, I feel safe in saying that a). Vessel is more devoted to Sleep than Sleep is devoted to him, and b). the lore is mostly arbitrary and really just there for fun.
I know this is an old comment now, but I just wanted to say that all your interpretations are valid and most likely meant to be read that way. You've genuinely taught me about the whale fall and hydrothermal vents idea of this.
Sleep Token are a fantastic band and their songs are often incredibly emotionally raw and speak of very dark times they've gone through. They so very often refer to scientific or biological functions as metephors within their lyrics (Alkaline anybody?). I love the lore of Sleep and all the songs being in worship of It, its what got me in to them in the first place, but I personally feel its a framing device for a gimmick of intriguing anonymity. The masks are a protection against the vulnerability these songs speak of.
I guess my point is, there are layers within layers to the image, music and presentation of this band, and I honestly think that if a theory ever occurs to you for a song, chances are it was intended as a possible reading for it.
Anyways, I hope you are well and worship ❤
@gabe_s_videos I’d made silly mistakes devastating the lives of my fam, and my wife and kids have been paying for it coming 4 years now. And everything I’ve tried to do, nothing has made it any better. I’m 51, and this Sat past whilst alone at home out on the balcony, I’d finally hit my breaking point. After holding on for all this time. And I stumbled onto ST for the very first time, and this specific vid. It’s unreal. A shockingly complete articulation of my inner being in under 3mins, and by complete strangers no less.
And yes, I’d sent the link of it to my wife. But I honestly didn’t know why.
Thank you.
I mean the way you interpreted it first sounds a lot more like Sleep singing to someone else, and that Sleep is at the bottom of the ocean and alone.
@@davidma22 Possibly? Honestly, the more I think about this, the more I think I’m reading more into the video than into the song itself. The lyrics are more of an “I love you god” song, a devout follower asking the god he prays to for salvation and lift them out of the darkness.
Trying to find where a city of ice means the bottom of the ocean. Can you help me?
[Verse 1]
In a city of ice, there are burning cathedrals
Turning the skies into glass
And through echoing futures, over buckling sutures
That hold shut the wounds of the past
[Chorus]
So won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me?
Through a fractured existence, won't you fall for me?
Won't you fall for me, from reality?
To the rhythm of eternity, won't you fall for me?
[Verse 2]
My insecurities surround me like lions in the den
And I feel like I'm losing touch with what I am again
Slowly, I remember why I cannot pretend
That I never think of you in all this screaming silence
(Oh God, I wish you were here)
[Chorus]
So won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me?
Through a fractured existence, won't you fall for me?
Won't you fall for me, from reality?
To the rhythm of eternity, won't you fall for me? (Oh God, I wish you were here)
Won't you fall for me? Won't you fall for me?
With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me?
Won't you fall for me, from reality?
I am yours in the end, so won't you fall for me?
Worship 💖
The line "With my love as your garden" gets me every time. So much beauty and devastation in simple words...
I personally like to believe this is Vessels love song to us, the worshippers, because despite his pain he knows we love him no matter what demons are hiding behind the mask, and yes we have all fallen for him.
god these lyrics on screen are haunting and resonate with me more than I realized they could.
They've been sharing them on Facebook, and everyone of the post made me really question my existence
1:25 gets me every time. The amount of emotion conveyed by just vocals through a vocoder is insane.
The second one that plays in the background is twice as heavy emotionally in my worthless opinion
That isn't a vocoder. If you listen closely you can hear him singing each individual vocal track.
@@AlphaWolfHowl Nope. It's definitely a vocoder.
@@flame_half it's definitely not.
The guy who mixed the album, Skyvanhoff, said it was a vocoder.@@AlphaWolfHowl
I can honestly say I've never been so excited for a release as I am for literally anything Sleep Token put out
Agreed
Me too!
I felt that way with Spiritbox
How bout now?
@@frostfang1 Absolutely! The two new tracks have been an excellent start to 2023 tbh
I get major Eden vibes.... this is so pure! Imo this is the only Band that could make an album with 100 tracks on it and it would not get boring 1 sec
While I know it is not, I thought the singer was eden the first song i ever heard by sleep token. Glad to know I wasn't crazy.
@@Chris-dt8ru i got that vibe in different songs too I can assure you;)
Love to see this. EDEN and Sleeptoken literally keep me going
it sounds like woah, and wrong 🤣
@@e7on1121 YES
I missed half of it because I was sobbing- here we go again 😭😭😭
So so beautiful.
Imagine releasing an acapella track that cuts straight through to your soul. Unreal.
Its a robot voice... I mean if robot voices excite you this much, I can only imagine what real singing would do to your ears.
@@DieHumanless You've clearly never listened to Sleep Token then
@@DieHumanless it's a stylistic choice to use a layered vocoder to create an atmosphere using a voice. But you do you mate.
@@DieHumanless this is real singing. Its called using stylistic effects ya noob
@@DieHumanless the vocals are just layered twice
Recently discovered this band, listened to their discography twice through. Vessel has such an emotional voice, almost a lament in delivery. When i first heard this song, i burst into tears (also to Are You Really Okay? and when Vessel cries at the end of Bloodsport). Such great music; euphoria through melancholy.
I’ve had incredible difficulty putting my finger on what allows this band to pack such an emotional punch and I think you put it perfectly: euphoria through melancholy. Well put.
We have already fallen for you Vessel, but damn it I guess we'll do it again
This song is hauntingly beautiful. It puts me in almost a subspace sort of state. I cry ugly tears, every single time I hear it.
I have watched this video more times than I can count, and probably more than healthy for my current mental state. I stare, open-mouthed and dead eyed, at the screen as my soul shatters and my heart breaks.
So, it should really come as no surprise to me that I was today years old when I found out the words on screen between scenes are *another* beautifully written and soul shaking masterpiece.
Vessel is a fucking genius. WORSHIP 🙌🏻💙
The more I listen, the more beautiful this song gets.
I'm not crying you're crying!
Worship.
This song hits like a freight train. Worship.
Just waterfalls on me eyes bro. Im not crying, im not.
How stunning.
Silence has become accompaniment and the fact that this is the 18th song, the turn of trilogy's total of 36 songs.
Vessel is truly the saddest genius.
This song is a beautiful insight to vessel beyond the mask. Whilst we all wish not to know who he is directly. This look into his battle against his own person is a unique take for Sleep Token. Its simply Vessel letting it out, no drums, no guitars, no piano, just him, vocalising what he feels. Despite not having any instrumentals, i perosnally see this as their heaviest song, thst i for one reasonate with. Its that sinking vulnerability that a lot of people feel, its dark and almost disturbing. And Vessel, unmasked, reveals this vulnerability in such a poetic way. This is why i love this band so dearly. Worship.
Just imagine the feels this will give when we listen to the whole album
WORSHIP
We really have gone full circle.
From the teaser of Vessel's mask lying in the sand, to the music video of the third single of the sophomore album, releasing in a week. What a ride it has been!
Worship
except that the last few songs sucked ass.
@@0_Ka-Bar_0 then why am I playing them on repeat since each one dropped? I guess I should stop then 🙄
@@0_Ka-Bar_0 I love them personally. It's awesome to see a unique band like this evolve and really come into their own.
We're all different though, so to each their own :)
@@ZL1LoVeR hey man enjoy... I'm not into whole sect thingy they are doing. If I'll worship somebody he's gonna be as good as Gavin Harrison. Or Maynard, who's got shit load more to say and said it better. And he's got Danny Carey on his side.
@@pikabuzz1 I just don't like when bands start with alternative proggy metal vibe and turn to a capella.
This is still one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. Coming back to this video feels like such a forbidden treat, a glance behind the curtain. Following Vessel into the deep, willing the tide to pull us further under the waves. Blissful submersion 🩵
In a city of ice there are burning cathedrals
Turning the skies into glass
And the echoing futures are the beckoning sutures
That hold shut the wounds of the past
So won’t you fall for me, won’t you fall for me
Through a fractured existence, won’t you fall for me
Won’t you fall for me, from reality
To the rhythm of eternity, won’t you fall for me
My insecurities surround me like lions in the den
And I feel like I’m losing touch with what I am again
And slowly I remember why, I cannot pretend
That I never think of you and all this screaming silence
(Oh God I wish you were here)
So won’t you fall for me, won’t you fall for me
Through a fractured existence, won’t you fall for me
Won’t you fall for me, from reality
To the rhythm of eternity, won’t you fall for me
Won’t you fall for me, won’t you fall for me
With my love as your garden, won’t you fall for me
Won’t you fall for me, from reality
I am yours in the end so won’t you fall for me
Through echoing futures are the buckling sutures....sutures don't beckon, they buckle over time.
I heard this on spotify first and did agree that this feels like an album break song and couldn't understand why it was released as a stand alone single one week before the album. But watching the video I was captivated, there he goes into the water... and I am now ready for This Place Will Become Your Tomb
I've been having dreams I cannot explain for the past couple of years, and I found this band, and it's all beginning to make sense. Worship.
What are the dreams like? What do you see?
Worship.
2 years and this is still one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard 💙
3 years.. agreed 😊
As someone who has recently found this music when alkaline dropped , it’s been nothing but beautiful. Every aspect in what’s created. This music hits to the core. I’ve listened to this song at least 30 times already. Can’t wait for the album to release.
You have so much more to discover. Checkout the first EP - “One”
While we all ugly cry over how insane this song is, let’s remember to thank George Lever for executing something as simple-yet-INTENSE song flawlessly 😭
george the goat
Was he involved in this project as well? I wasn't sure.
@@prideofalion don’t know how much he does outside of the production tbh
He certainly is a very talented individual
I need him to produce a Chelsea Wolfe song like this. only colder
So these guys are just the perfect band then eh? Just found them last night and every single song offers something I love.
They are the absolute best 🖤
This is it guys, last single before the album drops next week. I don't know if I'm mentally ready for this but regardless I am hyped. As usual any corrections and suggestions are more than welcome. Worship.
Lyrics;
In a city of ice there are burning cathedrals,
Turning the scars into glass.
And through echoing futures of a buckling suture,
That holds shut the wounds of the past.
So won't you fall for me,
Won't you fall for me.
Through a fractured existence,
Won't you fall for me.
Won't you fall for me,
From reality.
To the rhythm of eternity,
Won't you fall for me.
My insecurities surround me like lions in the den,
And I feel like I am losing touch with what I am again.
Slowly I remember why I cannot pretend,
That I never think of you and all this screaming silence.
Oh God I wish you were here.
So won't you fall for me,
Won't you fall for me.
Through a fractured existence,
Won't you fall for me.
Won't you fall for me,
From reality.
To the rhythm of eternity,
Won't you fall for me. (Oh God I wish you were here)
Won't you fall for me,
Won't you fall for me.
With my love as your garden,
Won't you fall for me.
Won't you fall for me,
From reality.
I am yours in the end,
So won't you fall for me.
Glad to see your lyric comments, always brings me back to the Sundowning days. Worship o7
I think its city of ice not vines.
It makes sense too because of the later line of turning the skies into glass.
Ice is very reminiscent of glass.
I could make a lot more allusions to ice and cold and cities that could fit the theme of the song more so than vines.
But on the same note.. vines would be more realistic; post apocalyptic scene with nature retaking cities.. and buildings catching fire etc.
I just wanted to say thank you for doing this for every song. It is much appreciated.
@@grtfl_thank you're welcome! I kinda miss the fortnightly release schedule but I'm beyond excited to experience most of the album firsthand next week!
@@anurhumusic7002 thank you, it's been fun figuring out the lyrics again.
Sleep Token has really grown on me and when Vessel sings songs like this, his talent shines.
This song needs a looped 24 hr stream because less than 3 minutes is not enough for me to kill my tear ducts
I can't stop listening to this song. I've listened to it 16 times in 48 hours since hearing it on Spotify. It's so compelling.
It's very addictive isn't it? I'm the same.
I've NEVER just started crying to a song. This band gives such a visceral musical experience that I was overwhelmed...and all this song has is vocals with slight ambient music behind. How?
Just know you're not the only one. That's literally never happened to me in my life until I heard this song.
@@gravityisweak so wild
Vessel sure knows his audience doesn't he.
Absolutely.
Vocals are mesmerizing... play on loop, so chill
I've never had such a strong emotional connection with a band.
This song is just as enchanting as the first time I listened to it. Whatever comes from these lads I will eagerly observe, worship.
I have never ever in my entire life heard something so catchy, meaningful and unique. This straight up is a gem and art at the same exact moment. Without any beats, their signature drums, they managed to catch the listeners heart. Jesus christ with only one what, rhythm? Dude, this band is going big in no time. I promise
sleep token releases a prelude/interlude kinda track and man even that is beautiful to put on repeat.
The best thing about Sleep Token is that they manage to make literally any kind of music sound great. From Gods to this, they’re both equally great. Cannot wait for next Friday!
They can make a whole song with monks and it be amazing
Me stoned on my couch fine one minute, crying the next. So fuckin good.
Thank you for this song Sleep Token. It is so beautiful!
If this song doesn’t resonate with you you were too young for this to now make you nostalgic for the imogen heap era of the early 2010s, the vocoder sound is iconic. Every emo kid’s guilty indulgence. This is one of my favorite singles they’ve released, can’t wait for the album drop.
alexandar, i love you
I couldn't have said it better myself. I thought of her as soon as my husband showed me this song. I'm in love.
I mean, Wood and 715 CREEKS from Bon Iver are pretty recent tho X)
it kinda surprised me how long I had to scroll before seeing anyone mention Imogen Heap
GOD, why has it taken so long for me to hear of this! I can’t get enough of Sleep Token.
Thank you! 😊
This may be my fave ST song forever. This video just takes it to such a high level and I've been coming back for years
For 13 years, i held love for my best friend. We met online and heard each other's life stories. We felt each other's pain, but we were both in places we could never say how we felt. Just this year, we were able to finally say what we wanted to. This song is exactly how i felt the past decade. She fell for me and i hope now for all eternity
found this gem of a song just this morning... damn. 🖤
Good lord. The music combined with the words on the screen... A song has never made tear up or cry before until now.
Man, as good as the song is on its own merits, the on screen text just produces a visceral reaction in me every time. Quit making me feel things, it's painfully cathartic and I don't know how to deal with it.
This is absolutely one of those songs that's beautiful in its simplicity where less is more. It makes it more emotional.
Really love how Sleep Token is heavy in literally every sense of the word.
I wish I could like this 100 times. WORSHIP
He thrives in higher octaves for sure too. Voice is unrivaled
Tears are streaming down my face right now. It's like my Eldritch patron is singing me a love song from the other side of The Known, WORSHIP
Ayo wtf is an eldritch patron
He is no god
You have no I idea how much I like the part "Oh God I Wish You Were Here". Fucking goosebumps!
I rarely do this, but I have to thank Sleep Token for their music. There is music that the Gods deigned to touch our souls. This is one for me
Nothing hits every level of my being and reflects /echoes the complexity of consciousness and the human condition with as much exquisite precision as Sleep Token's music and more specifically Vessels vocals.
These songs make me feel/experience such a spectrum of vibrations and emotions.
It is stunning
I am in awe
Sleep Token is everything music and creative expression should be .
Worship
A poem with in a poem, only sleep token can do this.
Is this a Vessel origin story?? This whole album is gonna be an absolute treasure let’s goooooo
that would be killer. This intense heartbreak and depression led him to surrender himself to the sea and in his sinking to the ocean floor he was saved by the entity known as Sleep and thats how he got his "powers" and ended up in that trial by combat from the last video...stuck in purgatory until he masters his new abilities. DOPE
That is exactly what I thought when I saw this video. I am in love with this track.
Man, this actor in fact is Vessel and I can prove it
That is Vessel definitely, not who people think it is either
@@frankiew311 I know my man🙏🏽 sleuthed this after I saw them the other week
First note, I got the chills. Vessels voice is so hypnotizing, the video got me emotional. Those lyrics...sigh
I feel like I'm in a church that I'm proud to be a part of. ✨ Worship ✨
I cant put into words how much i relate to this song and how much the words on the screen describe how i feel everytime im around anyone cause i never feel seen as myself so thank you for making my thoughts such a beautiful song 🎵
This was such a beautiful experience. It felt like somebody was gripping my soul with their hands and desperately holding on tight. It feels like a genuine spiritual moment when I fall into this band's music, I can't even explain it. I just feel like a piece that I never knew had been chipped off of my heart years ago made its way here. Worship.
Coming back to this years later when I’m at my lowest. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. But this band has at least given me a spark of hope
This song especially touched my heart the moment I heard it. Just the vocals... the ethereal sensation of being out of reality and hearing someone else's passion, their plea and desire. I am so moved seeing this video at last. It's absolutely important to me. I understand these feelings of fear so well.
Thank you, Vessel.
He’s so perfectly imperfect 🥺
In a city of ice, there are burning cathedrals

Found you
pin this please.
"IN all this screaming silence", not "and all this screaming silence"
THIS FUCKING BAND MAN. Haw do you guys make me feel like im useless but worth something at the same time? Im crying about my past but happy for the future. My emotions are all over the place, crying, smiling, screaming, shaking, OBSESSING. i love you guys sm you saved me
I cant even begin to describe the beauty I find in this track. Sleep Token have done it again, touched all of my emotions at once and left me wanting to listen over and over again!
Worship!!
The drums are so unbelievably divine my ears aren't worthy enough to even hear them.
How something could be so minimal yet so full at the same time.
Took me a couple listens too realize everytime it went black I saw my reflection in the screen.
There is such a heavily imbued set of emotions in every word, this song is absolutely beautiful ❤ overwhelming but its such a releasing lesson.
Worship 🖤
I didn't need to cry at 5am Vessel, c'mon man
I am so blown away, it’s beautiful.
This type of approach with the vocoder always hits me in the feels. The way so many different notes in the harmonies are just floating and settling. You can actually see them moving when you close your eyes.
Y'all are really good. Thankful that my grandson introduced me to your music. I love so many kinds of music.
Sleep token just found me and I'm so glad they did. Such a powerful song for so many people and so many reasons. Every time i listen to this song it speaks to me a different way each time. Thank you sleep token
I have listened to this song so many times these last 2 days. I seriously can't get enough.
Thank you vessel
IVE BEEN CHECKING EVERY DAY MULTIPLE TIMES AND FINALLY
I love that the sound changes and you never know what to expect with Sleep Token. People would complain if the album sounded exactly the same as the last one. Can’t please everyone. There’s nothing out there like this band, and their diversity and how they make each sound fit into the next make them stand out. Ready to get emotional next week!
This song got me feeling all kinds of emotions🖤
WORSHIP
This song is so raw, vibrating and resonating within my soul in a way no other song/lyrics have ever accomplished. I cant get enough
This is the most beautifully melancholic music video I've ever seen 😭😭😭 WORSHIP ❤️
I think I played this like 50 times today! What a GEM! Thank you Vessel!
WORSHIP
One day I will see Sleep Token live.
That is now my main goal in life.
love the imogen heap inspiration
The truth is I am due a harsh lesson
In truth itself and how bitter it can be
Will you teach me?
The truth is, I am ugly, I am inadequate, I am lost
I am no god
The truth is, I want, to want, to live
and so do you
I just can’t do this any longer
I am afraid
Are you afraid?
I want to understand what it is to let go
So for now let me serve as a living drama of your pain
If we are to be submerged, let us be submerged
Together.
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
Catch me sobbing in public whenever i even think of this track
