    This song is about him describing his harsh experience of waking up after sadly trying to leave this world and the bandage up the trenches are the scars on his arms [that u can see live or on pictures of him]. "its blue light over murder for me " in Europe Ambulances lights are blue. "Eyes like frozen planets' are his loved ones seeing him in the hospital bed' .

    Taylor said Worship!!! One of us, one of us😜. This band is on a different level man. When I heard this song I didn’t really catch on to the lyrics meaning either. Once I found out what the song was about, I listened to it over and over again (“status at the bedside” is his family looking over him in the hospital bed)…hit me very hard to realize what I was listening to was a story about a failed suicide attempt and the imagery through the analogies of Vessels lyrics. Now every time I hear this song it makes me a little emotional like most of their absolutely amazing songs. Worship!

    A few things...*starts novel*
    1. Your opening!!!! 🎉😂
    2. Taylor is all of us... knowing Sleep Token is about to start..."I already have chills! Why?" Cuz you know it's gonna be transformative.
    3. Like others have said, it really makes sense that this is waking up in the hospital after an attempt. The line you pointed out is one of my favorites. "I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets, just orbiting the vacuum I am." To me this feels like guilt. He wakes up to the people who love him and are scared for him and he feels like a burden for it. A vacuum, sucking up all their time and focus and emotion. If you're in that position, I imagine you don't feel like you're worth all the fuss. It's the furthest thing from the truth though. 😢

      I always felt like the line vacuum I am, meant like the vacuum of space, empty, meaning him, them standing all around him (orbiting), their eyes filled with tears ( eyes like frozen planets) staring at him and he just wishing he could be gone away from the pain hence feeling angry and frustrated ( sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside, I'm trying not to crush into sand ). Heart wrenching song.

    • @map1978.
      @map1978. 25 дней назад

      @kimdavis5659 yeah, it isn't in the way he sings it but the verse, crush into sand. I just wondered if he was feeling that way because of how he felt that caused the attempt ( if that is what really happened), empty, depressed, etc... and frustrated it didn't work and he was still here to face it all ( that line trying not to crush into sand) makes me think of him feeling frustrated and angry. Maybe something else happened that we don't know about that this song is about. But at the end , he keeps saying don't wake me up over and over like he still doesn't want to be here or doesn't want to be here if it wasn't an attempt. So sad! I don't know what caused this song for sure cause we can't ask him but it is heartbreaking whatever it was that made him feel that way. He is a gift to this world and I hope he knows that.

    Stoked to see you crack into this album. Everyone else is saying all the things to fill you in on the meaning, and im just as excited as everyone to see you take this next step on the journey - but just as a heads up, there are a few official music videos with this album id love to see you react to, namely "the love you want" and "fall for me".
    Also theres that line where he wakes up from his attempt, and everyone is staring at him at his bedside, and they just dont know how to help him "eyes loke frozen planets" his embarrassment and shame "trying not to crush into sand".
    That hits hard man. This album im a lot of ways is the metaphorical dark night of the soul that we entered at the end of bloodsport.

    I'VE BEEN WAITING 😢🥹 oooh I hope the lyric video is correct. I'm jumping ahead of myself, but the lyrics are "Merry in the morning, earn your bitter fodder; it's easier to try not to eat."
    Vessel is saying “wake up happy in the morning to earn a life you don’t deserve/want” then he goes on saying “it’s easier to try not to eat” which can be interpreted that it’s easier to give up on life than swallow your own bitter existence.

    The song does correlate with the song rain from the 3rd album. Like most said it was an attempt on his life. Yet parts like the Atlantic are featured where he says in Rain - "And just like the rain you cast the dust into nothing, and wash out the salt from my hands." Salt being from the Atlantic. Anyway, there are lots of Easter eggs within the trilogy. Finding them is fun. I found one also in Dark Signs and Are You Really Okay. But I won't give away everything. The writing is so good though in this trilogy. Worship.

    @DarkestNova556 28 дней назад

    Besides the meaning (since you have like 100 comments of that already) I want to clarify the analogies.
    I’m pretty sure that feeling-wise he’s describing himself as the empty space that the Atlantic Ocean rests in. The “Flood me like Atlantic. Bandage up the trenches.” Can be taken to either mean “Fill in the space where there was nothing” like to fill in that space with the Atlantic Ocean, or to “Coverup my physical scars” as the Atlantic Ocean makes it so any underwater trenches cannot be seen from the surface.
    The planet one is self-explanatory. He is a black hole surrounded by planets, or in real life, he is in a hospital bed surrounded by concerned people who do not understand what he’s going through.
    The “I’m trying not to crush into sand” is likely denoting the feeling of not wanting to be there. And that he feels like he’s going to fall apart if they keep talking and staring.

    Per the norm with ST they don't just spell anything nice and easy so I have an alternative theory regarding the song. It's my own opinion and a few others, that there is enough evidence here for me to imply that a child was involved and lost, possibly in the water and possibly by his hands (unintentionally like a car crash or something) it's slightly hinted at in other songs and album art of a statue carrying a child and her never bearing the weight of two and such. The first verse is very cryptic but the line regarding "crumble like a temple, built on future duaghters" to me implying that she was pregnant and lost the child, causing lots of personal destruction. But he for sure woke up in a hospital bed. Could be hella wrong so give it a few listens and see what makes the most sense to you

    I love the background sounds of this song..like starting 3:53, where we hear the rain/static sound..
    And in 6:59 with the panning of oohs and ahhs
    And in 7:09 with the bass drop, u juz feel it in your belly
    And in 7:37 with the high scream which gets smothered by the band
    Lol the words always confused and continue to confuse me too, so i tend to listen to the background stuff going on when i listen to this song and just allow them to wash me in their music 😂
    And oh, cool intro.. what were the typewritten stuff? Was that what ST nerds were talking about, the coordinates thing for each TPWBYT song?
    Just a request, if it doesn't complicate things too much, could you maybe add some audio at the start too? Like maybe an instrumental of something, juz coz i thought i had my volume down coz i wasn't hearing anything, and brought it way up to max, and thought my device was broken coz i still wasn't hearing anything lol. Maybe I'm the weird one, but yea if you could add some sounds at the intro, would be awesome 👍
