The song was about a toxic/abusive relationship. “Eden” being the time before the relationship fell off and when the love was fresh-It calls back chokehold because the song “Chokehold” symbolizes the fresh part of the relationship, where they fell deeply in love. The entire album tells a story of a love found and a love lost, and it’s beautifully written. “I’m a winged insect, you’re a funeral pyre” = I got so close and you burnt me out. “Come now bite through these wires I’m a waking hell and the gods grow tired. Grow back your sharpest teeth you know my desire” is a poetic way of saying “I know you have hurt me before but I can’t stop believing we can go back to what we had in the beginning”. This album was so thought out and can be related to by so many people who were done wrong or who fell out of love.
All the songs are about multiple things and can be interpreted in a multitude of ways.... This one is about the fallen angels... Life love loss pain... And the devils alluring gifts and the price you will pay. Your purity... Your soul... And we all struggle with it... Once you're thrown out of 'heaven' the pain you endure will never allow you to 'return to Eden's Grace's you may be forgiven you may not... But the pain will always remain... Heaven is pure... Like we all were at birth... Innocent... Once we gain that knowledge it's never the same.
I hope you all find your own Edens some day... I left mine... I was cast out of another... So I choose to turn my back on the people who corrupted the next I tried to build. The process repeated until my heaven no longer existed... Because the people I wanted to see again the most also hurt me the most. I forgave was betrayed... Chose to forget... Got used.. now all I have left is the lie of forgiveness and the want for wrath... But not the will to do it... I pray to God that I judge them at the end... I doubt the real God would be as merciful even after everything that happened.
She understands. An iconic sleep token fan who stays quiet to vibe out to the beautiful journey. It’s content i understand his position but she gets it lol
It's actually their own fault that the production and sound itself are so EFFING awesome that not many tend to notice the absolute POETRY their songs are telling. But, perhaps, it's because our brains can't even compute so much at once, lol. Worship. Get ready for Ascensionism.
This album hits spots for me mentally that nothing else comes close too, love it, the production is amazing, so full. The poetry for me comes from the instrumentalism throughout, i haven’t been paying attention to the lyrics much yet. But yea, this band is one of a kind, very few people can sound like their own genre. A few other good albums with unique qualities would be, Simple Things by Zero 7, Masstaden Under Vatten by Vildhjarta, Existential Reckoning by Puscifer, Polaris by TesseracT, and Liminal by No Oath, i cant think of any more off the top of my head at the moment but those are all worth a detailed listen, and then a second listen to take it all in from another perspective.
The figure on the visualizer was essentially an angel of death. The angel wings and scythe, which woud represent loss, grief and moving on. The reaper side of the loss and the angel side to save you from it. An easing of pain.
@Halo Wars 2 Thank you I couldn't remember the other one! But yeah just those two, even still vessel does the guitar....bass....screaming....singing....backing...except drums the man is phenomenal
Sorry just found this video and saw this comment, vessel actually didn’t produce or mix this one. I forgot the guys name but they won an award and the producer of the album collected it for them and spoke about the album. There’s a video on here of it.
The point behind there songs is so that you WANT to listen to it again. Off this album the complexity of there music combined with there lyrics forces you to listen to it multiple times to fully digest the message.
This is the greatest song I've ever heard. Album is one of the best I've ever heard. I'm more into doom metal but this is just amazingly beautiful to my ears. Before this album I had only heard alkaline. This is a masterpiece, but I didn't love it first time hearing it. I just liked it. I've heard this song atleast 100 times in last week. Damn
"Started off a lot more positive" "How it started: We dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans, But no one told me not to breathe, And now the weightlessness recedes." So, drowning & sinking.
I could watch the young lady here react to music and she wouldn't have to say a word. Her expressions speak volumes. On the other hand, our man here talks too much sometimes. She knows it too...😎🎏
Constructive criticism: You talk at all the wrong moments dude. Pause it and discuss after a section is done rather than yell at her your take when shes trying to listen to the song, not you.
Hi Breakdown Media. You two should listen to a a song called "Euclid" in your Sleep Token Journey. It is absolutely amazing, and I think you two would love it.

@@Aconn1997their songs have double meanings, similar to how ghost songs work
She is just trying to vibe to the track and bro is constantly just talking over the music. 😂
Agreed. Less talking and just enjoy the music. You're missing half the lyrical content. Talk afterward.
I know it makes me crazy!!
As usual. He wants to loudly declare he has goosebumps during an important part of the first verse.
We all have the one friend/person.. lol
She understands. An iconic sleep token fan who stays quiet to vibe out to the beautiful journey. It’s content i understand his position but she gets it lol
Album of the year👍
Album of the decade
@@chrisgrant2079 yes.
Trophy eyes will be better
Album of century
ong, i was the 69th like and now i’m happy

Get ready for Ascensionism.

I totally agree. The song writing and the vessel's lyrics are just. He's among the best if not the best.
Ascensionism and apparition are my 2 other favorites from this album.
Yes bro
I’m glad they saved the best songs for the album
But but Rain doesn't get enough love also XD
Yeah but Rain is also out of this world, maybe even my favorite
@@SimplySideStep Jinx XD
THERAPEUTIC bro, are you even listening?!?!?!! Lol
Songs like these make me really really appreciate to be alive. I am so fortunate to have been able to witness this album ❤

6:17 that bell/ring deep in the background, I call "The summoning bell"
Vessel is one of the producer for this album ;)
Vessel Does Everything, The only thing he doesnt do is drums, Vessel also produces All of it himself. The man is an absolute Genius.
Carl Brown did the producing a long with Vessel.
@Halo Wars 2 Thank you I couldn't remember the other one! But yeah just those two, even still vessel does the guitar....bass....screaming....singing....backing...except drums the man is phenomenal
Carl Bown produced this album, George Lever produced One, Two, Sundowning, and TPWBYT. But yes, the Vessel is the mastermind...
Sorry just found this video and saw this comment, vessel actually didn’t produce or mix this one. I forgot the guys name but they won an award and the producer of the album collected it for them and spoke about the album. There’s a video on here of it.
Fun fact, Vessel was a producer in this album anddddd he wrote the songs anddddddd the guitar rifts for the album!!🥹
Vessel and || writes all the music for Sleep Token always have Vessel writes lyrics, guitar and bass. || the drums of course..
Worship
@@ivanalexis3057 you got it right! I think more people would appreciate them even MORE if they knew this bit of information.
"Take Me Back to Eden" is a fgn masterpiece. The best album since "Dark Side of the Moon" and that's a bold statement that I stand behind.
there is indeed some Chokehold in there before the heavy breakdown
Vessel does the writing for every instrument except for the drums, musical genius.
Thanks so much for that awesome reaction! Love ya, guys, and take care. I'm here for your reactions.
Ascensionism and Rain are goated
The point behind there songs is so that you WANT to listen to it again. Off this album the complexity of there music combined with there lyrics forces you to listen to it multiple times to fully digest the message.
her face at the end was priceless. Brutal!
Her reaction was my reaction. Deep and intrigued
love you guys for reacting this!!
Thanks!
I missed you guys!!! ❤ So happy to see you both lively!!! ...and conscious from not getting thumped with a frying pan too many times.
Shannon is just giving and conals brain cell is working over time. this whole album is just a whole ass vibe. one big hug honestly.
She understood and thats take that emotion the song delivers, silence and thinking, then we have Mr goosebumps there
“It’s a completely different song. Standard Sleep Token experience.” 😂😂😂 truer words have never been spoken
Unless Ren releases his album before the end of this year then this is Album of the Year
Rain and take me back to eden is my favorite's
As of right now these are my top 5 songs from the album:
1. Ascensionism
2. The Summoning
3. Euclid
4. Chokehold
5. Rain
Sleep Token has done more to expand the audience for metal than any recent group. Women are coming back to it after a long absence.
The ambient sound in this song remind of the Pink Floyd ambient sound.
Awesome reaction!! Can’t wait to see them live in Sept ❤
Philly 9.9
So fucking excited! Worship!
@@TailsFB Dallas 9.19 worship
Doesnt matter the genre that youre listening to, you something is FIRE when you *INSTINCTIVELY* make that *STANKKKK* face lol
"This is an eight minute song. I ain't lasting eight minutes"
Had me rolling.
Take Me Back to Eden = Take Me Back to a Time of Innocence.
All the way from Texas you guys are awesome I love it !!
I need someone that looks at me the way she looks at anything Sleep Token makes. ♥
Ascensionism & euclid are incredible. Granite is still my favorite though.
And add The summoning and you have listed the top 4 tracks hands down.
This is the greatest song I've ever heard. Album is one of the best I've ever heard. I'm more into doom metal but this is just amazingly beautiful to my ears. Before this album I had only heard alkaline. This is a masterpiece, but I didn't love it first time hearing it. I just liked it. I've heard this song atleast 100 times in last week. Damn
totally caught that "it was no accident" from Chokehold and paused too...wonder what the significance is, but certainly repeated that line verbatim.
Song/album of the year contender. Truly captivating stuff on all levels.
It's a good thing you talked through some of the best lines in the whole song lol
thought i was the only one annoyed by this lol
I keep having to do a double take every time I see your new channel name pop up 😆
Sleep token is like Gorillaz X deftones. I’m new to Sleep Token and I swear they put drugs in their music cuz I can’t stop listening to them now
would absolutely love to see you reacting to the other new songs as well
You should definitely listen to ascensionism, it's one of the best off the album imo!
This and Euclid are best IMO
"Started off a lot more positive"
"How it started: We dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans, But no one told me not to breathe, And now the weightlessness recedes." So, drowning & sinking.
euclid broke me. please lets this one be some of the next ones you do. gives you hope again vibe. 🙌🤝🤘
I could watch the young lady here react to music and she wouldn't have to say a word. Her expressions speak volumes. On the other hand, our man here talks too much sometimes. She knows it too...😎🎏

Hi Breakdown Media. You two should listen to a a song called "Euclid" in your Sleep Token Journey. It is absolutely amazing, and I think you two would love it.
I would say I have a favorite song but the whole album is beautiful and I can’t pick
Likewise but I find myself really enjoying Euclid alot.
Album of the year!!
Top to bottom, should react to it
🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
How did I just discover a channel as they changed their name?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is the music the new world and the new times need ......
whole album plzzzzzzzzzz
She gets it
Worship
"Take a listen to the lyrics" as he talks over the lyrics breaking her attention from them lol. its alright, no big deal , just teasin
You gotta do Ascensionism!!!
I think the very last part is when Original Sin happened. The whole song is like being seduced by a serpent.
Are you really ok- is a beautiful song
that song had me ugly face crying in my car the first time i heard it lol
Lower your treble and higher you mic bass. But besides that, you guys are awesome!!
Chevelle - Remember When
Que pasada
Sencillamente alucinante 👍
I really wanted to watch this but your auto zoom was making me nauseous lol
Hope you guys enjoyed it

I cant wait for your reaction to the new BMTH song
Vessel does everything in this band except the drums, they’re played by II.
Can you pause and then talk?
Pause is a thing
Rain
dude stop talking over everything
Bruh stop talking over the song
Seriously, you’re reactions are just the best! I’ve watched a lot of reaction videos and your channel is God tier!
I know how long it takes you to put these videos together and I really appreciate you. The chemistry between you is a real joy too, as if watching your reactions to Sleep Token isn’t joyful already.
Looking forward to the baby announcement! 👶
W O R S H I P
It;s hard to react to something you talk over. Just saying mates. Other than that, thank you :)
Yow can you classify yourself as a reactor if you listen to it first them make a video? The whole point should be first time reaction live. Terrible
Dude, you have to stop talking during the song
Talking during while the song plays is stupid.
Thanks!
