Oh. my. GOD!!!! EASILY one of my faves! Catch me twerking to this in my room at 4 in the damn morning!🤣🤣🤣 Also, Sussi mentioning Vessel's refusal to wear any form of undergarment SENT ME INTO ORBIT, GIRL! Somebody needs to toss him some Fruit of the Looms on his next tour 😭 (also Sussi: ENOUGH WITH THE GIVE SLANDER, YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE!) When I say I listened to this song on repeat for a month straight... then discovered there was an instrumental version and listened to THAT for an additional month straight? I'm still obsessed with how dark and ominous the way this track sounds musically, and how the lyrics sound so accusatory... feels like this is the first time he TRULY has a grasp of how much power over his own self he has without Sleep's permission! Little tidbit here: remember how I said Alkaline is Tomb's "Give"? This track is DEFINITELY Tomb's "Sugar"; both are track 9, and in "Sugar", he's also accusing Sleep of "playing her twisted little game" and how he knows "in a way, you need to complicate"... but she comes back with, "Do you wanna see how far it goes? Do you wanna test me now, my love? You must be crazy if you think that I will give in so easily". She fights back in Sugar and he immediately retreats by screaming "Sugar!", swearing that he's "Got a taste for you now!" so she can stop the torment. That doesn't happen here; in this track, he maintains his ground for probably the first time since he's been with Sleep! Now THAT'S character development right there. Lyric Dissection Time!: Just take it all For nothing, again Create, release Shit just don't feel the same - (Vessel here telling the audience about how Sleep isn't who he remembers what she once was... just taking all of his promises for nothing, creating these rose-tinted scenarios in his head only to toss him aside once she gets bored of him. He's tired of it, and now he's actually calling her out for it! Let's go, Vessel! We're rooting for you! Also sidenote: I actually hear "shit" instead of "she" in that last line; it accentuates his feelings about his situation with Sleep now, calling it for what it is: SHIT) I asked, and you answered But you eat your words in frame At last discover You can't recall my name - (Vessel again, now talking to Sleep directly. He called for her, and she responded... only for him to turn her words against her, and she realizes this isn't the same Vessel she once was able to manipulate so easily. Cheeky fellow, this Vessel.) Don't wanna let you fall, oh I've been left no choice Don't you see that? - (Awww, look at Sleep trying to explain herself away! She knows she's screwed. Trying to validate her reasons for why she always abandons, a meager attempt at gaslighting him into thinking she was forced to ditch him for his own good! She has to leave every now and then, she's doing it all for him! She swears she didn't wanna do it, but she has to. An explanation without explaining anything... bona fide narcissist) You come crawling back to me But I'm already on the ground And we all know that talk is cheap So come on and save me now And you wonder what I believe But you don't wanna be around So what would you do for me? Yeah, what would you do for me? - (Vessel's like, "That's crazy... so why do you keep crawling back to me if letting me fall is what's best, huh? Riddle me that?" He's already on the ground after she let him fall again and again, and he doesn't want to hear her cheap words anymore. Instead, DO something and actually save me instead of just saying you are! You always ponder about what I think, but you never care enough to actually listen... so what would you DO for me?) I won't repeat what I have said before My love withers and chokes in perfect awe - (He's already told her 19 different times -tracks- that he loves her... It's getting old at this point, so old it withers and chokes. It's amazing how his dedication to her has lasted this long.) 'Til I let you fall, ah (why don't you just say what you wanted to say?) I've been left no choice (why don't you just say what you wanted to say?) Don't you see that? (Why don't you just say what you wanted to say?) - (Love Vessel in the background here! He knows she's full of shit, so he's just telling her, "why don't you really tell me why you keep doing this? You say one thing but do the other, so why don't you just say the truth?") You come crawling back to me But I'm already on the ground And we all know that talk is cheap So come on and save me now And you wonder what I believe But you don't wanna be around So what would you do for me? Yeah, what would you do for me? x2 - (The repeated verses of his accusation! He's not having it with her now... Good for him!) The instruments? The idioms? Their dialogue? His breath with every verse? 10/10. Raking this is so hard for me because it's definitely top 5 if not top 10, but we still have so many songs from Eden I'm obsessed with as well.... I'll have to give this a 4 for now (I forget where I ranked everything else, oops).
It's definitely a fun track! Don't forget that you can download the sheet we use for the rankings in the video description and you can just mark it so you don't lose your place! - Dave
Wow i think your interpretation makes so much sense. I didn't really understand this song at all hahaha, maybe coz i never really thought that some songs are conversations, so it felt to me like Vess was bipolar in this song 😂
@@tiffy3260 I’m so glad you think so! I’m very passionate about this song specifically (in case it wasn’t apparent enough by my hyping him up haha) because he’s FINALLY gotten somewhat of a grip! Love that for him!
*insert Emperor’s New Groove “just right” meme* this is my JAM right here. I just came home from work and im gonna pass out, but I wanted to leave this here so I can come back to it later tonight! I’m so happy this song is being covered finally!!! 😁😁😁
Hmm i feel like, our ranking of songs in this album are complete opposites. I don't have much to say for this song, except that the part where there's "why don't you just say what you wanted to say" part always reminds me of Tatu's "all the things she said". LOL. Okay this is tricky. Coz i was sposed to follow your advice to keep #1 & 36 empty until the very end, but at this point, i think i know what my #36 is. So im just gonna move dark signs and give to #35&36, and pop in descending at #34, below drag me under, like that, sugar, alkaline and the love u want #29-33. 😂
@@angryroads hahahaha sorry Sussan! I know you both love alkaline, but it just doesn't do much for me. Currently it's at my #32. 😂 It's a banger, but maybe it's just gotten too popular at this point, esp having watched a lot of their concerts on YT hahaha 🫰

Lyric Dissection Time!:
Just take it all
For nothing, again
Create, release
Shit just don't feel the same - (Vessel here telling the audience about how Sleep isn't who he remembers what she once was... just taking all of his promises for nothing, creating these rose-tinted scenarios in his head only to toss him aside once she gets bored of him.

You come crawling back to me
But I'm already on the ground
And we all know that talk is cheap
So come on and save me now
And you wonder what I believe
But you don't wanna be around
So what would you do for me?
Yeah, what would you do for me? - (Vessel's like, "That's crazy... so why do you keep crawling back to me if letting me fall is what's best, huh? Riddle me that?"

Ranking is really not easy. Especially when it feels like there is so much left to go.

Whoa. Whoa there. Where is alkaline on your ranking??
