"Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong. Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?" This hit hard. I've been there.
@@LotharOfTheHillPeople GOD the bands weird cultish fandom is completely beyond me. It’s meh to pretty good indie pop, that’s all I hear. Makes Ghost (another overrated pop rock act) sound like Napalm Death
The pop music fans don't like Sleep Token when they play super heavy tracks like Vore The Metal "purists" dont like when Sleep Token sound too pop on songs like "Fall for me." Or DYWTYLM. Sleep Token fans know that its ALL incredible music.
The key is not being a purist of any genre. So much more fun that way. I love DYWTYLM, Mine, and especially Fall For Me. But I love the angst in Chokehold and The Summoning. Something to suit every mood.
True . I dont care about genres, only what speaks to me . For example Messa Pilgrim has this really dark vibe too its what makes it fee heaver than most metal out there , but it’s not metal
lol that's exactly why I Opeth, new or old. Sadly so many people restrict themselves to only one or two genres, when beauty can be found in all sorts of styles.
Oh, I just realized, it feels like he's traveling through blood vessels and veins, the red leaves and petals are blood. It's like he's fighting off an infection, the feelings he has for this girl that have taken up residence in his heart. Or like an immunity problem, where the white blood cells attach the host. They turn on him, and he loses again. Every ribbon tied to a branch of veins is a loss, a piece of body he failed to regain from being "lovesick". A theme that was in Alkaline as well, a loss of control and autonomy, that ones choices are affected by how they feel about another and how their perspective of you changes what decisions you make. And then with Fall for Me, "I forgot what I am", it's hard to remember when the people you love aren't there to remind you and put the pieces back together, and when you feel so shaped by them by your own choice.
"Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not? Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday, oh, oh Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way" i love this part so much.
The beautiful part of this verse is the follow up chorus. “Cause I’m still full of the love you want” means: regardless of “swallowed keys” there will always be a virtue of accepting one for their flaws or misdoings. The entire song is an ode to someone that’s trying over and over again without getting success. It’s the beauty of perseverance, always try when the outcomes aren’t always in your favor.
@@taylorthelin you're completely right. their songs have this human element in them they can articulate emotions that are usually left unsaid. it's amazing.
Me too favorite part of the song just discovered this band yesterday and have already gone through and listened to almost all the songs got like 3 or 4 left I think and that line and this song are one of my favorites of theirs
Can I just mention that this music video used femininity and natural beauty with female movement WITHOUT sexualizing the whole damn thing. That is as pure as loving from the next room over and reaching out in faith alone. Wow.
This is SUCH a great video. Unrequited love is always a killer and this tells such a great story about how hard it can be to get over someone who doesn't feel the same way. I realised something new watching it today: I kept thinking how bad the main character in the video is with a sword. I just assumed the actor didn't know what he was doing. Then it hit me - in the story of the video, the main character is deliberately only swinging half-heartedly. He doesn't really want to kill his feelings for this girl. There's still hope. This stuff cuts deep.
You know the first time he tied a ribbon to the tree and went to cut them all down, he did so with passion and fury. But after having tied dozens upon dozens of ribbons, after having fallen on his own sword countless times, he realizes the futility. He still tries, knowing its hopeless, but perhaps relishing the sting of his own sword at the end of it all.
The only band I know that made the vulnerable sad male sounding vocals not come off as cringy or edgy. It helps that the vocalist puts 100% both in studio and live performances
also boosting ST is Vessel's approach to his intense creativity -- especially when you know that 2 eps and 3 albums later, his processing of loss, heartbreak, toxicity, pain, and unrequited love is very real, formidable, and true down to his bones.
They are so hard to explain to someone when you try to get anyone into them but that’s what I love about their music it’s art and good art makes you feel something whether it be through reliving an experience or reflecting on past successes or mistakes
when I was a freshman in college I fell in love with a girl who was a ballet dancer. This song reminds me of how much I loved to watch her dance and how entranced I was as she moved on stage. Eventually, she ended the seeds that I had hoped would form into a beautiful relationship, but it wasn't meant to be. This song reminds me of that time, her beauty, and the love that was lost
Lyrics: You lie an inch apart on your own continuum Now keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in And you'll find a different way to keep from setting sail again, no But I'm still full of the love you want Still waking up beneath it all And I'm still full of the love you want I reach for you on faith alone Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not? Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday, oh, oh Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way Oh, oh, oh, oh And I'm still full of the love you want Still waking up beneath it all And I'm still full of the love you want I reach for you on faith alone And I'm still full of the love you want Still waking up so alone And I'll be full of the love you want No matter what, forevermore And I'm still full of the love you want And I'm still full of the love you want And I'm still full of the love you want The love you want The love you want And I'm still full of the love you want And I'm still full of the love you want And I'm still full of the love you want The love you want The love you want You lie an inch apart on your own continuum Now keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum
@levoldunom it's an internet-based community lore, with a wiki dedicated to make monsters and mystical/cursed/ethereal objects. It stands for Secure, Contain, Protect. Very interesting. It started out as a fake post about an SCP (one of the entities) called SCP-173. Then someone made a game about it (SCP: Containment Breach). And once that hit, it went through the internet quickly and everyone was making up their own unique monsters, entities, and objects. You should check it out if that's your thing.
After over two years this song still doesn’t fail to touch the deepest part of my heart. One thing I find especially worth noticing are the white ribbons at the beginning and the end of the video, which are tied to tree branches. The video has many references to Japanese culture (the Katana or the makeup of the dancers, for example). When you visit a shrine in Japan, you can get so called „omikuji“ which are basically long, white, rectangle pieces of paper, on which one’s fortune is written. You can also see many of these paper stripes bound to tree branches on the shrine area and it is believed, that by tying your fortune stripe to a tree branch, it means that you ask the life force of the tree to help you make your wish come true. It is also a common practice to tie omikuji with bad luck to the tree in hope to avert your bad fortune. When I saw the video for the first time, the white ribbons immediately reminded me of the japanese omikuji, because they look so similar. So maybe the ribbons represent the foretelling of a bad fortune in terms of overcoming a one-sided love. And even though the main character gets killed by one of the dancers every time he tries to literally kill his feelings for this person, he still tries to change his destiny by binding the ribbon of one of the dancers to a tree branch after he wakes up. Or maybe I am over-interpreting things, but if I know one thing about Sleep Token, then it’s that symbolism plays an essential role both in their lyrics and their videos.
So no ones gonna mention how effortless they're embedding a super heavy guitar/drums part in an angelic pop vocal/synth performance? Like this is even way more impressing than the similar parts on Offering or Higher.
Dude... Thank you. This song and Offering turn fairly sinister for a second, but don't lose any of their beauty. It's like Sleep Token broke musical physics.
Such a beautiful track; they are incapable of releasing anything bad. That middle section with the almost jazz standard shuffle along side the chord choice on piano is just 🤤
@@bettjeman123 restraint is the perfect word. I am Still in awe at the chord choice, in particular over the line "too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday". It's such an interesting chord, it almost sounds off. But it's beautiful
My wife chose this song to play as our first dance when we got married. I don't even know what to say other than thank you Sleep Token, we will forever Worship 🙏🙏
Reminds me of this quote from Lord of the Rings "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold." I think I need to cry.
Iv been a hardcore dedicated avenged sevenfold fan for almost a decade now. Nothing comes close to how the lyrics touch somthing in my soul that just hits different. Then i stumbled upon sleep token about 6 months ago and now im hooked. You guys make music that hits my soul. Thank you
This is one of those rare songs that midway through the first time hearing it, I thought, “Oh, this is going to be a PROBLEM.” Just a brilliant song. Every time I listen to it I find something new to appreciate.
"Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday. Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way." Damn, I love those lyrical punches to the gut.
From the recent experience of discovering ST, that's gonna keep happening for a while. Be strong! Or don't! ST is making the music we can all cry and heal to! ❤
Everytime I hear Vessel's voice I cry. It brings out all these emotions in me. I'm going through cancer treatment and when I'm getting chemotherapy I listen to Sleep Token. It helps me.
Hey fellow Christina. I hope the chemo is going well! ST have been helping me through my mums cancer too as well as the suicide of my former closest friend. Stay positive! It really can help you physically.
I can relate to what you are saying ......in 1990 I was struck with bladder cáncer and music from UFO, Venom, Van Halen and Stryper helped me through the difficult times. I am 52 years old today, I survived cáncer thus......no matter what, do not give up. Sending you Big hugs.
Every once and a while a band comes along and releases one of those songs that just tells my soul "Its alright, man. Let it out." My eyes start to water, and I lay hear thinking of every misstep, every damn one. It simultaneously feels terrible and reminds me I'm alive. The whole piece - lyrics, music, production, video - they all remind me; good work, Sleep Token.
Definitely, and I will make you a recommendation of a band that will also change your life, the band Loathe. Loathe is gorgeous, more atmospheric, but heavier. Their album I Let It In And It Took Everything, listen to it as a whole. Believe me, you won't regret it \m/
This song makes me think of my mom and my sister. My mom made a lot of mistakes when my sisters and I were young. My sister was taken when we were young and she doesn’t have a relationship with my mom. But my mom really really wants to be in her life. She’s different now, better now, still full of the love my sister wants
My 16 yo cat died today, after battling through a tumor, hyperthyroidism, and old age. The news of her slowly reaching to Sleep came out as this song did. She deserved the rest after so much pain, but she was loved throughout the entire process. Once more Sleep Token reaches out to my soul when I need it the most. Worship.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 14 year old best friend Ashley earlier this year to a tumor as well. Not sure what you’re into but I made an altar for Bastet and she blessed me with many signs from Ashley and I truly know she is taken care of wherever she is. I’m so glad sleep token was able to provide you some Comfort in such a heart breaking time. Best wishes to you 💖
@@lilithlovesnate6668 I'm very sorry for your loss, too. Losing someone, wether they be humans or pets, is always difficult. Been a tough week on that regard for me, but things are lighter now, as it feels like she's been released from a longer burder. Bastet's a good goddess for such remembrance, it is good you found her in your time of need, as well as ST to comfort yourself with soothing sounds. Have a good night/day. Take care. 🖤
I came to this song when someone I was really close to killed themself and here I am back again after my dog just died. I can relate. I'm glad to hear your girl was loved and made it to a good age but I'm sorry you lost her.
I went through the same thing in 2021 my friend. It was slow and we fought so hard but the illnesses were cascading and nothing to be done. I realized that a few days into having to hold up an IV bag to intrevenously hydrate him because he was losing so much water and nutrients through his stomach issues. He was 14, and I had him since about 2 months old. He deserved the rest and my only regret was holding on too long and not giving it to him sooner.
I have to stop listening to Sleep Token, before I wear them out.....Just one more song. 2 hours later with tears in my eyes, "IM STILL FULL OF THE LOVE YOU WANT".
When the drums and piano come in at 1:15 … I can’t get over it. They work so effortlessly with Vessel’s voice to create a single unit of elegance and emotion. This song speaks to my soul unlike anything ever has Worship
That moment is inexplicable, I still can't find a correct way to tell what this part of the song produces in me,the drums,the piano,the voice,the lyrics ahhhh man is so moving ,I gues only the ones who has been there ( the lyrics) are the ones who truly feels that part or the hole song !!!
Speaks to you on a soul level? Farking same. I can’t even explain what happens to my mind or my body in the moment. Other worldly indeed. Goddamn I love this band
This turned into one of my fav songs of all time. It has metal, it has Pop, it has indie vibes, it has calmness, Beauty, melody, emotion and a certain aesthetic I can't explain.
Glasgow 2 days ago. I expected to cry to the night does not belong to god. What I didn’t expect was this song having me sobbing INTO the night does not belong to god straight after 😅
I'm a 34 year old man who still is brought to tears listening to this every time missing the person I love more than anything and wishing she was still here.
im only just seeing this music video now after my obsession has taken root and i think i could write an essay on it . but i also can't put any of it into words? sleep token makes me feel so crazed and so complicated
My wife and I split up a year and a half ago and this song so describes the pain I feel every day knowing I would do anything to be able to show her how much I love her once again. :(
My partner asked me to leave a second time this year.... nothing feels good for me no matter what I do. I just keep getting up everyday wondering when I'll wake up from this nightmare. Hang on man, dont give up!
Divorced 8 years now. This song hits me because of someone I dated last year, and still have to see regularly. Don’t worry my friend. There’s always room for more pain.
Despite all the effort to imply a kind of edge and darkness the singular focus on writing songs that allude to some great romance and tragedy in a very obtuse way that flatters a certain king of listener. I can't help but think the whole project is, on some level, just an incredibly high-effort method of getting laid.
I've always seen the lore of this band, worshiping "Sleep" and spreading their message, as a metaphor in itself. In order to live the dream you first have to be asleep. So "Sleep" offers the promise of the dream to vessel. So every song has almost a triple meaning. The message on the surface that sounds like it's about a relationship, The one slightly underneath about the lore of sleep token, and then the real message behind everything about chasing the dream.
That’s an interesting take. I was kind of thinking about the metaphor of worshiping the Sleep deity too. I noticed throughout a lot of these songs he’s speaking from a very heartbroken, weakened and depressed state. I can’t speak for everyone who suffers from depression or heartbreak but I know that whenever I’m depressed or I got my heart broken, the first thing I wish I could do is just go to sleep. Perhaps the metaphor of worshiping sleep in a cult-like manor as a deity is his way of praying for respite from his pain.
One of the creepier aspects of creating any kind of art is losing yourself in it, even if just a tiny bit. When I look back on the pieces of a big project or the finish work, it is unreal. It didn't come from the waking mind; given enough time, it is alive to you. Far too much of what ST does reflects what art does to you. And in the end, it's a whisper in your ear telling you to close your eyes and step into that place, perhaps to never return. And then you wake up.
It might be a completely wonky interpretation of the song, but with Vessel being a "vessel" for Sleep's message, when I hear the song, I pictured it like Sleep is the one singing through Vessel but also TO Vessel, if that makes any sense? Like, Sleep and mortal beings/vessels exist on planes a tiny step apart ("you lie an inch apart on your own continuum"), Sleep chiding Vessel or followers to maybe not speak ill of themselves ("keep the freakshow talk to a careful minimum), kind of some back-and-forth almost like maybe Vessel doubting or hiding aspects of himself from Sleep in some ways, and Sleep doing the same. Also "too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally" could be literally, or more like musical keys? Holding down emotions/songs/worship and the like. And in general in the song a message of Sleep promising love that maybe Vessel(s) and their followers have never known or been able to find/keep on Earth, but Vessel's devotion to Sleep also showing through the same parts of the chorus, that he's still full of love for Sleep? I dunno, articulating how I hear it like this is hard, ahaha, but regardless, love love LOVE this song and band so much ❤
This song and this video and this band makes me so incredibly emotional in ways I wish I had words to describe. It’s like the songs that have been playing in my dream world for my entire life. It all just makes sense in an indescribable way. Especially this song and video in particular. For me anyway. It breaks my heart and comforts me all at the same time. I love you Vessell. I love you so much Sleep Token. With all of my heart and soul.
I have been on anti depressants for years, it’s hard for me to really feel feelings as deeply as I used to. I swear Sleep Token has tapped into something inside of me and has helped me cry and feel. I just felt the need to add that. I’m laying in bed watching this video over and over, the words resonating in me.
According to the lore, Sleep offered Vessel glory and power (something like that) in exchange for following Him and spreading His message; this video looks like a trial of sorts-- the power used is the same as the one seen in Alkaline, and it looks like this video comes beforehand. Some of the movements of the dancers are also quite similar to whatever creature it was in Alkaline as well. Didn't miss the ribbons on what seems to be the lead dancer's wrists, and how many of the same ribbons there are in that starting cave. I can only assume Vessel eventually figured out whatever test it is considering Alkaline. Thr lyrics express a lot of frustration and desperation, cycling through the same things over and over, perhaps in a slightly different approach, coming very close, but not quite close enough. It's pretty obvious Vessel has been through this trial-- and failed-- several times. But Vessel still wakes up at the end, trying again, as it seems, on faith alone. Taken in the context of Sleep and Vessel's relationship, the lyrics seem to make more sense. It's beautiful, though. Worship.
I personally think that this video has nothing to do with Alkaline... I think that this red place is depicted as Vessel's heart or veine. All the white bandes are his try to heal from the past relationship that he got. He is still exploring his feelings. But the dancers depict his old love and that she is still in his heart and makes alot of agitation. Thats why their dancing performance is so hectic. Everytime he tries to battle his thoughts about her he loses. Because he is still "Full Of The Love She Wants". Worship.
@@anonymouswolvenclaw536 I actually thought so, too. And when i watched it the first time it gave me an impressive feeling of how this "relationship" or "lost love" still has enough power over Vessel to bring him to his knees. I saw his sword as a literal way of trying to cut the strings still attached to that person/the past? But each time he tried to cut himself loose, the grip and power of that person would hold him captive, making him only hurt himself more - so the white ribbons are tokens to every time he tried to free himself and that despite the powers he obviously holds (as seen in Alkaline), love - or the loss of it - is stronger than all that makes him powerful. Which would make for an impressive metaphor.
@@ElainiVT That actually makes a lot of sense-- I didn't think of it like that! You're right, that would be an impressive metaphor-- and that makes more sense as to why the cave appears the way it does.
Oh god, it''s been 10 month since my wife told me that she doesn't feel love for me anymore. Now I've been living alone for half a year and I'm trying really hard to be a better man for her and my two children. Discovering this absolutly amazing stuff to hear, brings me so much energy to do it - trying to find right combination, because I am full of the love that her wanted and that she didn't get too much from me. I am so glad to find Sleep Token....TY❤
The instrumental is again amazing. The chords, the piano, the drums when it comes in. Definitely one of the best bands in the world. Thank you, Sleep Token.
This band just showed up, unannounced and with a VISION. there's no one else doing what they're doing, its amazing. Literally havent heard a song by them that was less than stellar. That's not a lie. Lyrics and music, a bullseye for me. Their aesthetic is on point...what else is their to say. Much love 💞
I was in love with someone for years. After finally deciding we were actually both "in love" I was so excited to start our journey together. He had an accident and it permanently affected his memory. The part of his memory that held me was gone. He never did remember who i was or our many years and nights together and I always think of him when I hear this.❤
Believe it or not but I found Vessels identity. It's this guy named Jordan Hunt. Idk much about him other than he's very artistic. I'm getting vibes that he went to an art school. If you go to his channel, there are dance choreography videos. One of the videos even has that main dancer in this video (the one that's shown the most)...ruclips.net/video/ibFvPctzqPw/видео.html
This band at some point will blow up. I think Covid obviously delayed it but these guys deserve it. Every song they put out is incredible. Heavy drops, jazz infusions, slow journeys, elite drumming, A+ vocals, etc. All amazing. To me they are like a Bon Iver/Deftones amalgamation on steroids but so much more than that. I haven't found a song I don't love yet.
3:43, the symbolism in this is unreal. No matter how many times he tries to win or make things right, she always won and it always ended up hurting him anyways, only for him to wake up and do it all over again...powerful
@@jpgduff Pop? Are you serious? lol... Just because some of their songs have pop-like elements doesn't make them pop... that's like saying they're a jazz band because of aqua regia... definitely a genre-less band, but they stray on the side of progressive rock than anything else.
I just found this song right now. I have been listening to it on repeat. I first only listened to the song and was amazed. Then I watched the video and I had never listened and seen such beauty. From the instruments and singers. To the art of the video and the dancers. This song in its entirety is now my number one song.
2024... I recentlt discovered this band, and recentlt listened to this song... I can't stop listening and watching them. Also... i can stop crying with this one, i mean it Cause I'm still full of The Love You Want 🥀🖤🥀
I ordered my love a ST shirt and debated for weeks what lyrics I would write with the note that would go with the shirt for when I gave it to him. There's so many great songs with amazing one-liners, "granite" "rain" "alkaline" "bloodsport"...Finally, I settled on a simple, "T.L.Y.W.", because, well, I got the combination wrong, or he is simply waiting to save his love for someone that I am not. We're not together, that will never change my love for him. Forever grateful to him for introducing me to this amazing band 6 months ago. WORSHIP 🖤
I just need say. As an artist myself and a full time professional in the music industry, much of the music I hear gets lost by the wayside. Nothing personal just the result of continual overexposure. However, when I was shown the Sundowning album last February I sat in awe as the album came to an end. It was the first time in many years that a band touched my soul. A Cathartic experience to say the least. You all deserve the highest praise and support. Cheers to you Sleep Token for being a beautifully ominous soundscape that has given me and so many others inspiration and drive to create moving art.
This song and music video is literally a Bob Ross painting to me. It's crafted with so much attention to detail, love and care. Incredible work on this whole production.
Oh man, the consideration for both the "i" and the "you" in whatever relationship this is...just makes it all the more emotionally impactful. And that this is a continuation of his "weapon of choice". And the feeling of catharsis I'm so familiar with in Sleep Tokens music makes me want to Worship all the more.
this song brings me many feelings like with all of Token's songs, however this one hits much closer considering where i am in my relationship and i'm very glad to have found artists that can explain both visually and audibly how it feels to be lovesick and many other things. Thank you to all Token members
I've been crushing on this guy I know for over a year. sometimes I feel like the longing is going to crush me, but songs like this always help me stay hopeful
Its very rare I find a song and CANNOT stop listening to it, or I get bored listening to it after a few days.. this isnt the case. It's just, beautiful.
I might be reading into this wrong, but feels like the dancers are the butterflies in his stomach that he gets for this person after all this time. It's unrequited in some way, so he ventures down each day to kill them to make it stop, but he fails, tying another ribbon to the tree to mark the attempt.
Wow, just wow. The music got me chills, the lyrics tention, the cinematograhy feels of awe, the dancers tears. I'm moved. This is art. The things we need beyond surviving.

"Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong. Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?" This hit hard. I've been there.
I'm there right now...
Man...
shit rippin me to pieces rn
Same.
REAL!!!!
This band is what happens when you love music and don't feel like you have to prove anything to anyone
You absolutely can tell from the BC videos that Vessel and his music is one
These are the lyrics of a man whose heart was broken, but just straight smashed into pieces.
Well, maybe if they tried proving something they’d be a more interesting band. This is tame Christian pop. Hard pass.
@@stevencuevas3563 my thoughts exactly. It's Tik Tok pop dressed up in occult costumes.
@@LotharOfTheHillPeople GOD the bands weird cultish fandom is completely beyond me. It’s meh to pretty good indie pop, that’s all I hear. Makes Ghost (another overrated pop rock act) sound like Napalm Death
The pop music fans don't like Sleep Token when they play super heavy tracks like Vore
The Metal "purists" dont like when Sleep Token sound too pop on songs like "Fall for me." Or DYWTYLM.
Sleep Token fans know that its ALL incredible music.
Fucking right!!!
Worship. 🖤✨️
The key is not being a purist of any genre. So much more fun that way. I love DYWTYLM, Mine, and especially Fall For Me. But I love the angst in Chokehold and The Summoning. Something to suit every mood.
True . I dont care about genres, only what speaks to me . For example Messa Pilgrim has this really dark vibe too its what makes it fee heaver than most metal out there , but it’s not metal
lol that's exactly why I Opeth, new or old. Sadly so many people restrict themselves to only one or two genres, when beauty can be found in all sorts of styles.
YESSS!!! WORSHIP🖤
Oh, I just realized, it feels like he's traveling through blood vessels and veins, the red leaves and petals are blood. It's like he's fighting off an infection, the feelings he has for this girl that have taken up residence in his heart. Or like an immunity problem, where the white blood cells attach the host. They turn on him, and he loses again. Every ribbon tied to a branch of veins is a loss, a piece of body he failed to regain from being "lovesick". A theme that was in Alkaline as well, a loss of control and autonomy, that ones choices are affected by how they feel about another and how their perspective of you changes what decisions you make. And then with Fall for Me, "I forgot what I am", it's hard to remember when the people you love aren't there to remind you and put the pieces back together, and when you feel so shaped by them by your own choice.
Damn…
This is my favourite theory to the video so far!
@madisonellen6545 thank you, that's such a sweet way to say it.
I love your summary of this ❤
Fucking well done clapo
"Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong
Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?
Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday, oh, oh
Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way"
i love this part so much.
The beautiful part of this verse is the follow up chorus. “Cause I’m still full of the love you want” means: regardless of “swallowed keys” there will always be a virtue of accepting one for their flaws or misdoings. The entire song is an ode to someone that’s trying over and over again without getting success.
It’s the beauty of perseverance, always try when the outcomes aren’t always in your favor.
@@taylorthelin you're completely right. their songs have this human element in them they can articulate emotions that are usually left unsaid. it's amazing.
Some of my favorite lyrics ever
That got me. I can relate to this rn😢
Me too favorite part of the song just discovered this band yesterday and have already gone through and listened to almost all the songs got like 3 or 4 left I think and that line and this song are one of my favorites of theirs
This band is just gorgeous
This band invated the modern metal
Just one of the many adjectives to describe Sleep Token.
Good music overload lately. I'm chalking this all up to Covid and Quarantine. This is deep...for me!!!
gay
Nik is everywhere 🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🖤
Can I just mention that this music video used femininity and natural beauty with female movement WITHOUT sexualizing the whole damn thing. That is as pure as loving from the next room over and reaching out in faith alone. Wow.
That is beautifully put, and thank you for pointing that out.
It also helped that they didn’t let big butt ghetto hoes anywhere on set.
I sense that's because the song wasn't about sex, but rather about what you describe.
not gonna stop me from putting my anchor in a different harbor
@@AzazelHash281 you seem to have the emotional intelligence of a peanut
This is SUCH a great video. Unrequited love is always a killer and this tells such a great story about how hard it can be to get over someone who doesn't feel the same way.
I realised something new watching it today: I kept thinking how bad the main character in the video is with a sword. I just assumed the actor didn't know what he was doing. Then it hit me - in the story of the video, the main character is deliberately only swinging half-heartedly. He doesn't really want to kill his feelings for this girl. There's still hope.
This stuff cuts deep.
😭😭😭😭😭
And I only now noticed that the ribbon is tied to one of the girls wrists. All of the others noonger have them, hanging in the trees.
You know the first time he tied a ribbon to the tree and went to cut them all down, he did so with passion and fury. But after having tied dozens upon dozens of ribbons, after having fallen on his own sword countless times, he realizes the futility. He still tries, knowing its hopeless, but perhaps relishing the sting of his own sword at the end of it all.
and like a toxic woman, she makes him kill himself. perfect
Damn dude 😢
It's really weird to have the urge to headband and cry at the same time.
Glad to see I'm not alone in this.
Got me headbanding hella hard, I'm already wearing like 8 of the damn things, I don't think my head can take much more.
🤣@@MannibalLector
I got headbanned from wal-mart for playing this song too loud in electronics.
Thats true hahah
The only band I know that made the vulnerable sad male sounding vocals not come off as cringy or edgy. It helps that the vocalist puts 100% both in studio and live performances
also boosting ST is Vessel's approach to his intense creativity -- especially when you know that 2 eps and 3 albums later, his processing of loss, heartbreak, toxicity, pain, and unrequited love is very real, formidable, and true down to his bones.
At this point, Sleep Token is not even just a band anymore, it's an entire art experience...
WORSHIP
Exactly
They are so hard to explain to someone when you try to get anyone into them but that’s what I love about their music it’s art and good art makes you feel something whether it be through reliving an experience or reflecting on past successes or mistakes
For real tho
fuckin 'ell mate, settle down a bit for us, they aint the first band to make a music viddy now are they?
@Anthony Stone Ah, yes...denouncing the the most unique thing to come out of rock music since the early 2000s for likes, I see.
when I was a freshman in college I fell in love with a girl who was a ballet dancer. This song reminds me of how much I loved to watch her dance and how entranced I was as she moved on stage. Eventually, she ended the seeds that I had hoped would form into a beautiful relationship, but it wasn't meant to be.
This song reminds me of that time, her beauty, and the love that was lost
Lyrics:
You lie an inch apart on your own continuum
Now keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum
I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in
And you'll find a different way to keep from setting sail again, no
But I'm still full of the love you want
Still waking up beneath it all
And I'm still full of the love you want
I reach for you on faith alone
Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong
Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not?
Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday, oh, oh
Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way
Oh, oh, oh, oh
And I'm still full of the love you want
Still waking up beneath it all
And I'm still full of the love you want
I reach for you on faith alone
And I'm still full of the love you want
Still waking up so alone
And I'll be full of the love you want
No matter what, forevermore
And I'm still full of the love you want
And I'm still full of the love you want
And I'm still full of the love you want
The love you want
The love you want
And I'm still full of the love you want
And I'm still full of the love you want
And I'm still full of the love you want
The love you want
The love you want
You lie an inch apart on your own continuum
Now keep the freak show talk to a careful minimum
I need a nap after the whirlwind of emotions this song and video just elicited from me
Vessel feels like a musical SCP that has telekenetic powers but falls in love easily
😂😂😂 You're not wrong! Sounds adorable...
Exactly it's amazing
God I fucking love this fanbase
...what is an SCP?
@levoldunom it's an internet-based community lore, with a wiki dedicated to make monsters and mystical/cursed/ethereal objects. It stands for Secure, Contain, Protect. Very interesting. It started out as a fake post about an SCP (one of the entities) called SCP-173. Then someone made a game about it (SCP: Containment Breach). And once that hit, it went through the internet quickly and everyone was making up their own unique monsters, entities, and objects. You should check it out if that's your thing.
After over two years this song still doesn’t fail to touch the deepest part of my heart.
One thing I find especially worth noticing are the white ribbons at the beginning and the end of the video, which are tied to tree branches. The video has many references to Japanese culture (the Katana or the makeup of the dancers, for example).
When you visit a shrine in Japan, you can get so called „omikuji“ which are basically long, white, rectangle pieces of paper, on which one’s fortune is written. You can also see many of these paper stripes bound to tree branches on the shrine area and it is believed, that by tying your fortune stripe to a tree branch, it means that you ask the life force of the tree to help you make your wish come true. It is also a common practice to tie omikuji with bad luck to the tree in hope to avert your bad fortune.
When I saw the video for the first time, the white ribbons immediately reminded me of the japanese omikuji, because they look so similar. So maybe the ribbons represent the foretelling of a bad fortune in terms of overcoming a one-sided love. And even though the main character gets killed by one of the dancers every time he tries to literally kill his feelings for this person, he still tries to change his destiny by binding the ribbon of one of the dancers to a tree branch after he wakes up.
Or maybe I am over-interpreting things, but if I know one thing about Sleep Token, then it’s that symbolism plays an essential role both in their lyrics and their videos.
I had the same exact thoughts upon watching it! The first thing I remembered where the shrines in Japan. Lovely, heartbreaking.
So no ones gonna mention how effortless they're embedding a super heavy guitar/drums part in an angelic pop vocal/synth performance? Like this is even way more impressing than the similar parts on Offering or Higher.
Dude... Thank you. This song and Offering turn fairly sinister for a second, but don't lose any of their beauty. It's like Sleep Token broke musical physics.
It's what they do thoo, never misses
Literally the best of the song and the reason I fell in love with this song
Screw the super heavy drums… those jazz drum licks….
for real though lol
Such a beautiful track; they are incapable of releasing anything bad.
That middle section with the almost jazz standard shuffle along side the chord choice on piano is just 🤤
That section was so fucking juicy. Their drummer blended his playing immaculately with the piano. Gonna have this on repeat for awhile
@@foxfiremusic8387 absolutely agree my friend!
I glad someone else said it… it’s the hook that starts drawing you in… it’s show restraint , and superb technique
@@bettjeman123 restraint is the perfect word. I am Still in awe at the chord choice, in particular over the line "too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday". It's such an interesting chord, it almost sounds off. But it's beautiful
I legit don't get emotional alot with many songs but this one legit had me in tears. Its brilliant
My wife chose this song to play as our first dance when we got married. I don't even know what to say other than thank you Sleep Token, we will forever Worship 🙏🙏
Fucking wow I was thinking this would be great for my wedding
This needs more comments. So here is one saying congratulations. 😊
Ugh I love this 😢❤
Your wedding song was about two lovers realising they are drifting apart? lmao, gg mate. Totally not cringe
@@tzz89 Music is about more than just the lyrics.
Reminds me of this quote from Lord of the Rings "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold."
I think I need to cry.
Cry up sis, we're all crying here
Iv been a hardcore dedicated avenged sevenfold fan for almost a decade now. Nothing comes close to how the lyrics touch somthing in my soul that just hits different. Then i stumbled upon sleep token about 6 months ago and now im hooked. You guys make music that hits my soul. Thank you
This is one of those rare songs that midway through the first time hearing it, I thought, “Oh, this is going to be a PROBLEM.”
Just a brilliant song. Every time I listen to it I find something new to appreciate.
Just realized the concept of this whole music video and wow, that’s really how life is.
"Are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not". Damn, that line is powerful.
Fr
"Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday. Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way." Damn, I love those lyrical punches to the gut.
Every sleep token I keep finding myself saying, “I think this one is my favorite”
From the recent experience of discovering ST, that's gonna keep happening for a while. Be strong! Or don't! ST is making the music we can all cry and heal to! ❤
@@mw6779 and I’m here for it all! Worship!
Same, can’t pick one
Everytime I hear Vessel's voice I cry. It brings out all these emotions in me. I'm going through cancer treatment and when I'm getting chemotherapy I listen to Sleep Token. It helps me.
❤️ I hope you’re doing well
Stay strong.... you can make it through. Music can help. It actually can heal.
Hey fellow Christina. I hope the chemo is going well! ST have been helping me through my mums cancer too as well as the suicide of my former closest friend. Stay positive! It really can help you physically.
I can relate to what you are saying ......in 1990 I was struck with bladder cáncer and music from UFO, Venom, Van Halen and Stryper helped me through the difficult times. I am 52 years old today, I survived cáncer thus......no matter what, do not give up. Sending you Big hugs.
Sending you some much needed good vibes ✨🌈✨
Every once and a while a band comes along and releases one of those songs that just tells my soul "Its alright, man. Let it out." My eyes start to water, and I lay hear thinking of every misstep, every damn one. It simultaneously feels terrible and reminds me I'm alive. The whole piece - lyrics, music, production, video - they all remind me; good work, Sleep Token.
You are 100% correct couldn't explain it better.. just spoke to my soul.

Please check out the song Iodine, by Stoneside.
@@nicholasmisiak4724 👌🔥
I appreciate that you could word this in such a way that I wasn't initially able to.
Just started listening... I can already tell this is going to change my life
Definitely, and I will make you a recommendation of a band that will also change your life, the band Loathe. Loathe is gorgeous, more atmospheric, but heavier. Their album I Let It In And It Took Everything, listen to it as a whole. Believe me, you won't regret it \m/
This band is unlike anything I've ever heard and anything I will continue to hear for a long time
Oh hey Rusty, fancy meeting you hear. Cool to know you like this band, too.
Same, they're awesome.
You also should try Stoneside. Belive me, the same vibe... Both amazing
@@Cbass2887 good band but not even close to the same vibe.
@@bobsimpson9228 are you serious?? Stoneside > Sleep Token
This song makes me think of my mom and my sister. My mom made a lot of mistakes when my sisters and I were young. My sister was taken when we were young and she doesn’t have a relationship with my mom. But my mom really really wants to be in her life. She’s different now, better now, still full of the love my sister wants
"Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally, someday" Clever and powerful line there
This band is powerful, brutal and sweet as a calm after the storm.
It's like they are the storm AND the calm at the same time.
The eye of the hurricane..
What I love is not many bands can channel this either. Only band I found and loved who comes close is Arcane Roots.
@@mentaltelepathy24 umm check out Stoneside.
My 16 yo cat died today, after battling through a tumor, hyperthyroidism, and old age. The news of her slowly reaching to Sleep came out as this song did. She deserved the rest after so much pain, but she was loved throughout the entire process. Once more Sleep Token reaches out to my soul when I need it the most.
Worship.
I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my 14 year old best friend Ashley earlier this year to a tumor as well. Not sure what you’re into but I made an altar for Bastet and she blessed me with many signs from Ashley and I truly know she is taken care of wherever she is. I’m so glad sleep token was able to provide you some
Comfort in such a heart breaking time. Best wishes to you 💖
@@lilithlovesnate6668 I'm very sorry for your loss, too. Losing someone, wether they be humans or pets, is always difficult. Been a tough week on that regard for me, but things are lighter now, as it feels like she's been released from a longer burder.
Bastet's a good goddess for such remembrance, it is good you found her in your time of need, as well as ST to comfort yourself with soothing sounds.
Have a good night/day. Take care. 🖤
I'm sorry to hear. Sounds like your cat baby lived a wonderful 👍😊 life tho . 16 is amazing for cats. I hope mine can make it that far.
I came to this song when someone I was really close to killed themself and here I am back again after my dog just died. I can relate. I'm glad to hear your girl was loved and made it to a good age but I'm sorry you lost her.
I went through the same thing in 2021 my friend. It was slow and we fought so hard but the illnesses were cascading and nothing to be done. I realized that a few days into having to hold up an IV bag to intrevenously hydrate him because he was losing so much water and nutrients through his stomach issues. He was 14, and I had him since about 2 months old. He deserved the rest and my only regret was holding on too long and not giving it to him sooner.
I have to stop listening to Sleep Token, before I wear them out.....Just one more song. 2 hours later with tears in my eyes, "IM STILL FULL OF THE LOVE YOU WANT".
me with a bottle of wine atm: "i feel this *sob*"
Jesus, why'd you have to hit me like that lol?
At the lowest point I’ve ever been, I found you guys. Music has a crazy way of reaching you when you need it most. Still waking up beneath it all.
Let’s show some love to this PERFECT DRUMMER!!
An absolute unit
When the drums and piano come in at 1:15 … I can’t get over it. They work so effortlessly with Vessel’s voice to create a single unit of elegance and emotion.
This song speaks to my soul unlike anything ever has
Worship
That moment is inexplicable, I still can't find a correct way to tell what this part of the song produces in me,the drums,the piano,the voice,the lyrics ahhhh man is so moving ,I gues only the ones who has been there ( the lyrics) are the ones who truly feels that part or the hole song !!!
And those beautiful fills! This entire band is on another level but their drummer.. my god.
@@Annatar_Lord_of_Gifts dude I still get goosebumps 6 months later
Speaks to you on a soul level? Farking same. I can’t even explain what happens to my mind or my body in the moment. Other worldly indeed. Goddamn I love this band
These dancers are PERFECT
WORSHIP
THIS
💯💯💯💯🤦🏽♂️
I have to question if you've ever seen perfect dancing before. That, or you're unaware of what the term "perfect" means.
@@needsmoreclipping Don't be so pretentious lol
do you know what dancing is? Cause this ain’t it .
I broke up because of someone being unavailable emotionally after 7 years. This song hits so much home. Thank you for writing it.
This turned into one of my fav songs of all time. It has metal, it has Pop, it has indie vibes, it has calmness, Beauty, melody, emotion and a certain aesthetic I can't explain.
That chorus is hauntingly beautiful, if I hear it live I'll probably cry and I'm okay with that.
Update: I cried.
you and me both, man
Glasgow 2 days ago. I expected to cry to the night does not belong to god. What I didn’t expect was this song having me sobbing INTO the night does not belong to god straight after 😅
I'm a 34 year old man who still is brought to tears listening to this every time missing the person I love more than anything and wishing she was still here.
💚💙❤️
We're in the same age and the same circumstances.
Same age and situation. Heartache's out for the millennials.
im only just seeing this music video now after my obsession has taken root and i think i could write an essay on it . but i also can't put any of it into words? sleep token makes me feel so crazed and so complicated
Fun fact, we only signed to Spinefarm records so that we can be label mates with Sleep Token 😍
This band is absolute perfection.
#worship
are they Spinefarm? Damm Yesterday I was thinking this is becoming like old Entwine and they were Spinefarm
@@Omertahun hahaha yeah they are
@VRSTY You guys are sick also!!
@@jesseaviman ayyy thank you so much
Didn't think I could like you guys anymore
My wife and I split up a year and a half ago and this song so describes the pain I feel every day knowing I would do anything to be able to show her how much I love her once again. :(
I'm right there with you brother... hard to accept for so long. Can't describe it. This song can though.
My partner asked me to leave a second time this year.... nothing feels good for me no matter what I do. I just keep getting up everyday wondering when I'll wake up from this nightmare. Hang on man, dont give up!
Divorced 8 years now. This song hits me because of someone I dated last year, and still have to see regularly. Don’t worry my friend. There’s always room for more pain.
This is art. Love the versatility as always, can't wait for the new album!
Fancy seeing you here. Glad you dig these guys too! Sundowning was my AOTY in 2019, and I’ve been mad hooked ever since
Despite all the effort to imply a kind of edge and darkness the singular focus on writing songs that allude to some great romance and tragedy in a very obtuse way that flatters a certain king of listener. I can't help but think the whole project is, on some level, just an incredibly high-effort method of getting laid.
God these guys are good!
I wonder if you can do a Disturbed song (not Sound of Silence) in Sleep Token's style?
I have been obsessively listening to Alkaline since it dropped, I cannot wait for this. 🖤
Same
Me too!!
"oooh, Let's talk about dentistry..."
Same. I’m excited for the album to drop. This is a beautiful song! Wish I knew about these guys in the past.
This band just changed my life. It has been awhile since I felt my heart. Thank you, Sleep Token.
I've always seen the lore of this band, worshiping "Sleep" and spreading their message, as a metaphor in itself. In order to live the dream you first have to be asleep. So "Sleep" offers the promise of the dream to vessel. So every song has almost a triple meaning. The message on the surface that sounds like it's about a relationship, The one slightly underneath about the lore of sleep token, and then the real message behind everything about chasing the dream.
That’s an interesting take. I was kind of thinking about the metaphor of worshiping the Sleep deity too. I noticed throughout a lot of these songs he’s speaking from a very heartbroken, weakened and depressed state. I can’t speak for everyone who suffers from depression or heartbreak but I know that whenever I’m depressed or I got my heart broken, the first thing I wish I could do is just go to sleep. Perhaps the metaphor of worshiping sleep in a cult-like manor as a deity is his way of praying for respite from his pain.
@@GrizzyGoat Honestly that's an incredible take I've never thought of before.
One of the creepier aspects of creating any kind of art is losing yourself in it, even if just a tiny bit.
When I look back on the pieces of a big project or the finish work, it is unreal. It didn't come from the waking mind; given enough time, it is alive to you.
Far too much of what ST does reflects what art does to you. And in the end, it's a whisper in your ear telling you to close your eyes and step into that place, perhaps to never return.
And then you wake up.
Thus band definitely sounds better when I’m sound asleep
It might be a completely wonky interpretation of the song, but with Vessel being a "vessel" for Sleep's message, when I hear the song, I pictured it like Sleep is the one singing through Vessel but also TO Vessel, if that makes any sense? Like, Sleep and mortal beings/vessels exist on planes a tiny step apart ("you lie an inch apart on your own continuum"), Sleep chiding Vessel or followers to maybe not speak ill of themselves ("keep the freakshow talk to a careful minimum), kind of some back-and-forth almost like maybe Vessel doubting or hiding aspects of himself from Sleep in some ways, and Sleep doing the same. Also
"too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally" could be literally, or more like musical keys? Holding down emotions/songs/worship and the like. And in general in the song a message of Sleep promising love that maybe Vessel(s) and their followers have never known or been able to find/keep on Earth, but Vessel's devotion to Sleep also showing through the same parts of the chorus, that he's still full of love for Sleep? I dunno, articulating how I hear it like this is hard, ahaha, but regardless, love love LOVE this song and band so much ❤
This song and this video and this band makes me so incredibly emotional in ways I wish I had words to describe. It’s like the songs that have been playing in my dream world for my entire life. It all just makes sense in an indescribable way. Especially this song and video in particular. For me anyway. It breaks my heart and comforts me all at the same time. I love you Vessell. I love you so much Sleep Token. With all of my heart and soul.
I have been on anti depressants for years, it’s hard for me to really feel feelings as deeply as I used to. I swear Sleep Token has tapped into something inside of me and has helped me cry and feel. I just felt the need to add that. I’m laying in bed watching this video over and over, the words resonating in me.
According to the lore, Sleep offered Vessel glory and power (something like that) in exchange for following Him and spreading His message; this video looks like a trial of sorts-- the power used is the same as the one seen in Alkaline, and it looks like this video comes beforehand. Some of the movements of the dancers are also quite similar to whatever creature it was in Alkaline as well. Didn't miss the ribbons on what seems to be the lead dancer's wrists, and how many of the same ribbons there are in that starting cave. I can only assume Vessel eventually figured out whatever test it is considering Alkaline.
Thr lyrics express a lot of frustration and desperation, cycling through the same things over and over, perhaps in a slightly different approach, coming very close, but not quite close enough. It's pretty obvious Vessel has been through this trial-- and failed-- several times. But Vessel still wakes up at the end, trying again, as it seems, on faith alone. Taken in the context of Sleep and Vessel's relationship, the lyrics seem to make more sense.
It's beautiful, though. Worship.
Where did you fine the lore? I only knew a little about vessel and sleeps relationship
I personally think that this video has nothing to do with Alkaline...
I think that this red place is depicted as Vessel's heart or veine. All the white bandes are his try to heal from the past relationship that he got.
He is still exploring his feelings.
But the dancers depict his old love and that she is still in his heart and makes alot of agitation.
Thats why their dancing performance is so hectic.
Everytime he tries to battle his thoughts about her he loses.
Because he is still "Full Of The Love She Wants".
Worship.
@@DWPF17 this is some Dark Souls level shit good job dude lol
@@anonymouswolvenclaw536 I actually thought so, too. And when i watched it the first time it gave me an impressive feeling of how this "relationship" or "lost love" still has enough power over Vessel to bring him to his knees. I saw his sword as a literal way of trying to cut the strings still attached to that person/the past? But each time he tried to cut himself loose, the grip and power of that person would hold him captive, making him only hurt himself more - so the white ribbons are tokens to every time he tried to free himself and that despite the powers he obviously holds (as seen in Alkaline), love - or the loss of it - is stronger than all that makes him powerful. Which would make for an impressive metaphor.
@@ElainiVT That actually makes a lot of sense-- I didn't think of it like that! You're right, that would be an impressive metaphor-- and that makes more sense as to why the cave appears the way it does.
Been listening to this gem for a while.
Oh god, it''s been 10 month since my wife told me that she doesn't feel love for me anymore. Now I've been living alone for half a year and I'm trying really hard to be a better man for her and my two children. Discovering this absolutly amazing stuff to hear, brings me so much energy to do it - trying to find right combination, because I am full of the love that her wanted and that she didn't get too much from me. I am so glad to find Sleep Token....TY❤
Somewhere deep down inside... I have this feeling Vessel really wanted to show off his katana.
The instrumental is again amazing. The chords, the piano, the drums when it comes in.
Definitely one of the best bands in the world. Thank you, Sleep Token.
This band showed up on my recommended when I was listening to Bad Omens, and I’ve never been recommended something so beautiful… wow!!!!
This band just showed up, unannounced and with a VISION. there's no one else doing what they're doing, its amazing. Literally havent heard a song by them that was less than stellar. That's not a lie. Lyrics and music, a bullseye for me. Their aesthetic is on point...what else is their to say. Much love 💞
I was in love with someone for years. After finally deciding we were actually both "in love" I was so excited to start our journey together. He had an accident and it permanently affected his memory. The part of his memory that held me was gone. He never did remember who i was or our many years and nights together and I always think of him when I hear this.❤
The quality of this song is beyond comprehension.
Vessel has one of those voices where you just simply feel hypnotised 😵💫 unreal stuff
Believe it or not but I found Vessels identity. It's this guy named Jordan Hunt. Idk much about him other than he's very artistic. I'm getting vibes that he went to an art school. If you go to his channel, there are dance choreography videos. One of the videos even has that main dancer in this video (the one that's shown the most)...ruclips.net/video/ibFvPctzqPw/видео.html
You guys are just incredible!
A really well choreographed Dark Souls boss you've stuck on for a week.
Joke aside this is a beautiful video. Love this.
Woah Haligtree Roots and me relating with Malenia's story
I came back to metal/hard rock, after 20 years. This is what I found. And oh my god thank you
The amount of lore present in Sleep Token's songs 🥹🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Unbelievable.
True
Once again the drummer is an absolute unit
This band at some point will blow up. I think Covid obviously delayed it but these guys deserve it. Every song they put out is incredible. Heavy drops, jazz infusions, slow journeys, elite drumming, A+ vocals, etc. All amazing. To me they are like a Bon Iver/Deftones amalgamation on steroids but so much more than that. I haven't found a song I don't love yet.
I think we’re finally seeing it, headlining festivals and tours in 2023. It’s much deserved for these guys. 🖤
Its happening
ITS HAPPENING NOW
You called it! They blew up! Damn!!!! All I can say is... "WORSHIP"
This aged remarkably well
3:43, the symbolism in this is unreal. No matter how many times he tries to win or make things right, she always won and it always ended up hurting him anyways, only for him to wake up and do it all over again...powerful
Genuinely feel like this is my favourite music video of all time...
knowing this dudes' music, honestly i'm not ready.
worship.
edit: holy shiiit that last chorus-breakdown is the definition of brutally beautiful.
"Brutiful"
What a masterpiece. This band is the future of the genre.
Exactly. But I think they doesn’t belong every genre. So I think we need a new genre for them.
@@koheihead2 They're pop. Great pop music but pop nonetheless.
@@jpgduff Pop? Are you serious? lol... Just because some of their songs have pop-like elements doesn't make them pop... that's like saying they're a jazz band because of aqua regia... definitely a genre-less band, but they stray on the side of progressive rock than anything else.
I just found this song right now. I have been listening to it on repeat. I first only listened to the song and was amazed. Then I watched the video and I had never listened and seen such beauty. From the instruments and singers. To the art of the video and the dancers. This song in its entirety is now my number one song.
2024... I recentlt discovered this band, and recentlt listened to this song... I can't stop listening and watching them. Also... i can stop crying with this one, i mean it
Cause I'm still full of The Love You Want 🥀🖤🥀
I ordered my love a ST shirt and debated for weeks what lyrics I would write with the note that would go with the shirt for when I gave it to him. There's so many great songs with amazing one-liners, "granite" "rain" "alkaline" "bloodsport"...Finally, I settled on a simple, "T.L.Y.W.", because, well, I got the combination wrong, or he is simply waiting to save his love for someone that I am not. We're not together, that will never change my love for him. Forever grateful to him for introducing me to this amazing band 6 months ago. WORSHIP 🖤
Here after seeing them support architects last night in Glasgow. Absolute mesmerising experience.
I just need say. As an artist myself and a full time professional in the music industry, much of the music I hear gets lost by the wayside. Nothing personal just the result of continual overexposure. However, when I was shown the Sundowning album last February I sat in awe as the album came to an end. It was the first time in many years that a band touched my soul. A Cathartic experience to say the least. You all deserve the highest praise and support. Cheers to you Sleep Token for being a beautifully ominous soundscape that has given me and so many others inspiration and drive to create moving art.
Let’s link up guy
This song and music video is literally a Bob Ross painting to me. It's crafted with so much attention to detail, love and care. Incredible work on this whole production.
I was recently introduced to Sleep Token and I’ve got to say this song is beautiful and gorgeous and hits you in the heart. I’m definitely a fan.
The music they make is like a dream you do not want to leave by waking up. Keep dreaming!
Who else is going to sit here and worship the screen for the next 39 hours?
Well the track has already released, but I guess waiting for the music video is admirable
not me
even waiting in this silence is an offering i will cherish relentlessly
Oh man, the consideration for both the "i" and the "you" in whatever relationship this is...just makes it all the more emotionally impactful. And that this is a continuation of his "weapon of choice".
And the feeling of catharsis I'm so familiar with in Sleep Tokens music makes me want to Worship all the more.
this song brings me many feelings like with all of Token's songs, however this one hits much closer considering where i am in my relationship and i'm very glad to have found artists that can explain both visually and audibly how it feels to be lovesick and many other things. Thank you to all Token members
I've been crushing on this guy I know for over a year. sometimes I feel like the longing is going to crush me, but songs like this always help me stay hopeful
i’ve never been so obsessed with a music video before. this is absolutely beautiful.
This was probably the best music video I’ve ever seen …. there is just something about it
Oh man, this one’s gonna hit the feels JUST right, isn’t it?
Edit: Fuck.... I didn’t expect it to hit this hard... just what I needed to hear. WORSHIP
It’s like being in a level you can never beat
There are so many artistic visual metaphors I'm this video that I keep coming back, and it keeps taking my breath away... Every time.
My love for these artists has no limits , no music has ever stirred every emotion within me so beautifully and ugly.
Its very rare I find a song and CANNOT stop listening to it, or I get bored listening to it after a few days.. this isnt the case. It's just, beautiful.
I might be reading into this wrong, but feels like the dancers are the butterflies in his stomach that he gets for this person after all this time. It's unrequited in some way, so he ventures down each day to kill them to make it stop, but he fails, tying another ribbon to the tree to mark the attempt.
42 years on the planet and have finally found a band that checks all the right boxes!!!!
The choreography in this is impeccable especially the sword scene. Beautifully done wow
The piano in verse 2 is so simple yet so elegant. I love how they always manage to do that and I’d love to see how they write their music.
Omg the perfect harmony of this track is stunning. He has the best voice in the scene
Wow, just wow. The music got me chills, the lyrics tention, the cinematograhy feels of awe, the dancers tears. I'm moved. This is art.
The things we need beyond surviving.
Getting some major Dark Souls vibe in this video, and the music is perfection *chef's kiss
The chord the piano played at 1:37 is S P I C Y
