I always took this video as Vessel literally trying to cut the girl out of his life. But, in the end, he only ended hurting himself and then starts the cycle over again.
Oh yes, Vessel very skilled as a vocalist but full of emotion at the same time, best of both worlds.. he hits you deep and hard from the start. Absolute talent and he's defo the best and most unique of his generation without a doubt. Worship 🙏🏻😍😍
I love how important the dancers are to this track. When they perform it live with dancers, the dancers steal the show. A reminder that music is also movement. Beautiful.
This is definitely a rabbit hole I would love to watch you go down in the future. Jaws is a great song by sleep token and definitely is the one that got me absolutely hooked.
I could be wrong, as they don't give interviews or any of those sorts, vessel writes everything except for the drums, your facial expression said it all how you feel 'bout the song, it's a testament to how far this band has evolved and how many new listeners are just in awe of them,.. keep going lads this is just the start of what will become an ingenious musical journey !!!
Vessel and II write mostly everything. III and IV were essentially touring members. However signing with RCA recently likely means they're going to play a larger part in the songwriting especially with IV coming out on stage with BMTH
I definitely agree with you about Vessel's voice. It is so haunting. If you like their pretty stuff, "Atlantic" is IMO their most beautiful song. Another really emotional one is "Are You Really Ok?".
Both great songs :) People sleep on their older stuff, because the new album got so popular, but the other two are just as good if not better. Telomeres is one of my favorites, beautiful song, but criminally underrated. editing to add Levitate to my list of "pretty" Sleep Token songs xD
I take this as hes being crushed by the weight of the loss and memory of someone. So he tries again and again to cut them out but the emotional hold on him is too much and he fails. So hes stuck in a cycle. The fact that hes trying so hard to forget and get rid of the pain is in itself whats perpetuating the emotional struggle.
I haven't heard many Sleep token songs yet. Glad to be able to share this first time listen together. Pretty good song, the pain and love he has, it feels always so strong in the songs
This song get's me every time. I almost can't listen to it without shedding a tear. Have you ever been so deep in love with someone that doesn't have the same feelings for you, as you have of them? It's like how I think that boys in the "friendzone" is feeling. 😢
Anyone who doesn’t get emotional or swooned by the lyrics and rhythm of the music…boggles my mind. There’s so much emotion this group puts into everything
Legit the only show I've ever been to where the crowd would get silent because we were in awe of his live performance. It was a truly beautiful experience.
They’re known for amazing songs, but each being a unique experience. I would love to see you go down the rabbit hole! Vessel does everything aside from drums. They’re a genius. Worship!
As someone who also got pulled into Sleep Token’s grasp (hypnosis if you will) I greatly recommend listening to their 3 albums back to back, starting with Sundowning (Bloodsport), This Place Will Become Your Tomb (The Love You Want), and ending with Take Me Back To Eden. They all tell a story of a relationship between Vessel (or Sleep) and a love gone wrong
As someone who has seen them live twice in the last 18 months, and have been listening since Sundowning was released, this is BY FAR my favourite ST song. This is their peak. Everything since is still great, but they captured something in this track that makes me come back to it over and over again. The energy when that second chorus kicks in live is indescribable.
Would love to see you react to another band with a cult-like following: Avatar. Bloody Angel or A Secret Door are fairly good entry points to showcase their broad spectrum before diving headlong
This is one unique band and the lead singer has vocals that stand out above the rest. This is definitely the best metal band to come from the UK in a very very long time 🖤🤘
You pretty much nailed the meaning behind it. The choreography director, (the one in the middle dancing) gave and interview about making this. But it's extremely hard to find. But, yes that is the meaning of the video.
I am not one to comment on videos ever. Vessel's voice is so amazing. I highly recommend you dive into more Sleep Token. I would love to see your reaction to their new album. Love the videos :)
Interesting to hear your interpretation of the video. To me him taking out a sword to go on an offensive, attempting to hold onto whatever level the relationship was at, but inevitably failing (missing in his flurry of swings) and as a result it went the other way and only ended up hurting himself even more (the suicide plunge). Thought the same on the ribbons, a token of every time he's gone through the same cycle of rage, going on the offense to rid the rage, but ends up wounding himself even more. Maybe a way of conveying the person he loved could have been so manipulative to the point they had the power to turn/twist it all around and convince that it's all on him. edit: do Missing limbs next! another one of their intimate tracks like Blood sport
Subscribed. Fantastic reaction. Vessel's vocals are 2nd to none. Anything from the new album please. Especially Ascensionism or Take me back to Eden will blow your mind 🤯🤯🤯 Keep the ST reactions coming.
Love your reactions. I can't wait for your reaction to Take me back to Eden. I feel that song really shows that Vessel is really not bound to any genre, he just excels in his songwriting and talent.
This band is SOOOO unique. The pass through a variety of genres ... THIS IS INSANE ... i mean i can listen some Pain Of Salvation vibes in a moment , and then they change to something else... this band is mindblowing
My interpretation was that.. the sword is the love. And he kept missing every time he tried to hit “give love” to the person he wanted. And he had so much love for her. So much so that eventually.. the love he had killed him.
This song is truly sad for me. I was married for almost 20 years and I dealt with depression for almost 30 years. One night I tried to end myself. The day that I got into the hospital after my, obviously, failed try my wife of nearly 20 years filed papers. It’s the absolute worst thing that I could’ve thought would happen. Now I’m divorced, broke, and alone. I guess it is what it is, right?
I love ST. And I hate to be that guy who writes stupid comments about a band that I love. But to me, it seems like Vessel was just friendzoned and created one of the best trifectas of albums in existence because of it. Lol.
My take on it was he's trying to get past her by attacking the thoughts and memories he has of her (literally in the video) dancing through his mind, but can't get past the hold she has on him which defeats him every time making him turn his attacks onto himself restarting the cycle
If you really want an emotionally intention driven song, listen to "The apparition" off their new album. There is such a stone cold delivery that will leave you shook
This is by far the best reaction ever. From the point of “ ill find a different harbor to lay my anchor in” until the pause you’re captivated by vessel!
It's kinda loop as you said he is experiencing all over again and again,the girls in the vídeo,each of them has a ribbon,which he is hanging on the tree every time he fails to "cut" those dancers (whatever they represent) also the melody at the beginning is a loop because the song ends in the same way , repeating all over again and again 😭
I never can decide if I ever have a sleep token song because it’s so hard to pick a single song until I hear this one and every single time it feels like the first listen of it and reminds me that this is the one song from them that I’ve never lost my connection to. The lyrics, the stylization of the instruments, the video. It’s all perfect.
I know how he is feeling trying to move on trying to cut off but is consumed by his love though he is trying to cut the one who hurt him off but rather he is killing and separating himself , he's in fragments so instead of being scattered he would rather be consumed whole buried in her soul and heart where he always wanted to be.
Please, if you're going into this band, listen the very first song of the first album "the night does not belong to god" 🤞Worship! I'll follow your travesy!
You would really like missing limbs by sleeptoken. It's not like anything else they've done. Jaws is also imo (for what that's worth) one their best songs period.
This is a great song but is not in my top 10 by them. You could try The offering, Jaws, Ascensionism, Granite, Thread the needle or Chokehold, for example.
You should give a track of Post Malone's new album a reaction, I think you'd really enjoy. Track is Something Real, be nice to see some more Hip-Hop back on the channel
Probably the most simple, stupid reactions to sleep token I've watched. What you find profound is actually painfully apparent. You have a lot to learn young lady. Keep listening. But most importantly, learn to listen with your mouth closed.
Idk what to say about this first time hearing it......I guess I would say it's not my type of music not a fan......not saying I hate it but it's just not for me.........
I don't know why people like Sleep Token. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just a terrible person for not liking it, maybe because it's so pop-like, I just can't resonate with it. I often wonder to myself if I'm even hearing the same stuff that everyone else is hearing, because It's honestly terrible compared to a lot of other artists. I can acknowledge that the vocalist is a great singer, considering what he does, but its so eh. However, for an industry planted band, they're not the worst one out there that's for sure.
That's the beauty of music. Music is just that, music. It's the way our mind has been shaped from life experiences that make music work for 'us' individually. The fact you respect it doesn't work for you but does for others doesn't mean you're a terrible person lol. It just doesn't fire up your brain like it does for others, it's all subjective - and tha'ts fine!
@@chromesthesia There's plenty of industry planted bands out there. Sometimes these bands already existed and then later in their careers get drawn into it. Record labels build these bands specifically to bridge the gap between metal/rock and pop. Boosts record label numbers, attracts new audiences, gets radio play and mainstreams metal bands that tour with them, usually ones that would never reach larger audiences. Sometimes it's not even the whole band, it could be just one member of the band. Bad Wolves is one of those bands, Poppy is one, Bring Me The Horizon has become one, Asking Alexandria has become one, Sleep Token is definitely one. Anonymous members, lineup changes that bring no care to fans, music that is exactly the same as what we hear on the radio everyday, it's no different than listening to LewIs Capaldi. Not saying it's a terrible thing to happen or a bad idea, but there's probably enough of them already out there, we don't necessarily need more.
@@NickJ7903 what the entire penis are you talking about? Have you even listened to Sleep Token? I have never heard a song like Vore or Take Me Back to Eden on the radio. I don't really listen to the radio these days, but what station would play Vore? I'd like to listen to that station.
I always took this video as Vessel literally trying to cut the girl out of his life. But, in the end, he only ended hurting himself and then starts the cycle over again.
And now she's V ...or has been since the formation of the band
@@androtaz2621??
There are few lyrics so heartbreaking as "or are you simply waiting to save your love to someone that I am not".
that's deep💔
Oh yes, Vessel very skilled as a vocalist but full of emotion at the same time, best of both worlds.. he hits you deep and hard from the start. Absolute talent and he's defo the best and most unique of his generation without a doubt. Worship 🙏🏻😍😍

If you want sheer beauty in lyrics and sing I highly recommend “drag me under” … it is highly underrated
Don't forget fall for me!
Both great songs :) People sleep on their older stuff, because the new album got so popular, but the other two are just as good if not better. Telomeres is one of my favorites, beautiful song, but criminally underrated.
editing to add Levitate to my list of "pretty" Sleep Token songs xD
@@bardthief Take Aim and Missing Limbs are underrated too
@@bardthiefhigh water is underrated as well. Beautiful song
It hits different when you realize that this is his heart
I take this as hes being crushed by the weight of the loss and memory of someone. So he tries again and again to cut them out but the emotional hold on him is too much and he fails.
So hes stuck in a cycle.
The fact that hes trying so hard to forget and get rid of the pain is in itself whats perpetuating the emotional struggle.
Vessels cover of Is It Really You? By Loathe is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I haven't heard many Sleep token songs yet. Glad to be able to share this first time listen together. Pretty good song, the pain and love he has, it feels always so strong in the songs
ALL OF THEM ARE GOD LIKE!
This song get's me every time. I almost can't listen to it without shedding a tear. Have you ever been so deep in love with someone that doesn't have the same feelings for you, as you have of them?
It's like how I think that boys in the "friendzone" is feeling. 😢
He chases Her throughout different Dimensions. DM & DF Journey.
“Frick!” Was also my thoughts exactly when I heard this for the first time as well
Anyone who doesn’t get emotional or swooned by the lyrics and rhythm of the music…boggles my mind. There’s so much emotion this group puts into everything
The bands on the girls wrists are the ones he's tying around branches
The choreography is so gorgeous
you muuuust go down the sleep token rabbit hole. kthx
Man, when he sings this live... It's sad and powerful. This track is an anchored favorite.
Legit the only show I've ever been to where the crowd would get silent because we were in awe of his live performance. It was a truly beautiful experience.
First channel I've seen make that connection with the ribbons and thank you. It always irked me that Noone else brought that up.
I love my heavy stuff and harsh vocals, but this is still one of my favourites from Sleep Token, a couple years later.
Still so many banger sleep token songs to listen to! Next up ascenionism then apparition 😊
Yes thank you for finally doing this video! 👍👍
I think this is the song that truly got me hooked to Sleep Token.
They’re known for amazing songs, but each being a unique experience. I would love to see you go down the rabbit hole! Vessel does everything aside from drums. They’re a genius. Worship!

Yes! This was life changing for me
out of all of ST’s songs i keep coming back to this one, such a good song
As someone who has seen them live twice in the last 18 months, and have been listening since Sundowning was released, this is BY FAR my favourite ST song. This is their peak. Everything since is still great, but they captured something in this track that makes me come back to it over and over again.
The energy when that second chorus kicks in live is indescribable.
This isn't my favourite ST song but when I was front row, and they performed this live I started crying. It was overwhelming. I'll never forget that.
Would love to see you react to another band with a cult-like following: Avatar. Bloody Angel or A Secret Door are fairly good entry points to showcase their broad spectrum before diving headlong
This is one unique band and the lead singer has vocals that stand out above the rest. This is definitely the best metal band to come from the UK in a very very long time

The imagery and style of this video is so beautiful. It matches the song so well.
They always like to build the melody as they go. It's breathtaking at times.
Love your reaction and breakdown! Got a new subscriber!

Perfect reaction!!

Keep the ST reactions coming.
Ascensionism
Love your reactions. I can't wait for your reaction to Take me back to Eden. I feel that song really shows that Vessel is really not bound to any genre, he just excels in his songwriting and talent.
Sleep Token literally carries me through a breakup at the time

Day 2 of asking for a dayseeker reaction 👀. Burial plot, crying while you're dancing, without me, and neon grave are great for starters
Next Jaws, please
Jaws and Ascensionism
I love ST. And I hate to be that guy who writes stupid comments about a band that I love. But to me, it seems like Vessel was just friendzoned and created one of the best trifectas of albums in existence because of it. Lol.
Motionless in white- A.M.E.R.I.C.A next 🤘
It hurts 💔 😭
Also a little info Vessel writes and records everything except the drums. The guy is a musical genius..
My take on it was he's trying to get past her by attacking the thoughts and memories he has of her (literally in the video) dancing through his mind, but can't get past the hold she has on him which defeats him every time making him turn his attacks onto himself restarting the cycle
their remake of outkast’s hey ya is good. also granite and ascensionism
You should check out higher water!!
MORE SLEEP TOKEENNNNNN

The dancers danced beautifully for him to see, but remained out of reach when he tried to cut them away...
Ouh my lovely ❤
I know how he is feeling trying to move on trying to cut off but is consumed by his love though he is trying to cut the one who hurt him off but rather he is killing and separating himself , he's in fragments so instead of being scattered he would rather be consumed whole buried in her soul and heart where he always wanted to be.
I know this because I've tried to cut the woman out of my life but yet she without knowing still had power over me and just her memory killed me
the video makes me think of self sabotaging. you get to the thing you want only to ruin it for yourself
Personally that lyric about getting the combination wrong hit me like a tonne of bricks.
Please, if you're going into this band, listen the very first song of the first album "the night does not belong to god" 🤞Worship!
I'll follow your travesy!
Please do Kardashev - Beyond Sun and Moon [Official Vocal Playthrough]
Can you please do a a7x one next I love those types of vids
Do the Lorna Shore Pain Remains
❤❤❤
You would really like missing limbs by sleeptoken. It's not like anything else they've done. Jaws is also imo (for what that's worth) one their best songs period.
You need to listen to sugar next
Não entendo um nada em inglês kkk mas achei a música muito bonita
Everytime he tries to get his love out he gets hurt
Please listen to 'Fall For Me' by Sleep Token.. it will amaze you I promise
The summoning next
Ascensionism next
Rayactions
You might want to increase your mic volume to match the music levels. Its hard to hear you.
This is a great song but is not in my top 10 by them. You could try The offering, Jaws, Ascensionism, Granite, Thread the needle or Chokehold, for example.
Hello new subscriber here , periphery -wax wings is one you will appreciate 👏❤️
Sadly someone ruined who they were for me. So I try to block that out. 😢
My take is that he's repeatedly killing himself by trying to fight his love for someone he cannot have
