The first time I heard this song, I was emotional, but when I heard Vessel crying at the end, I lost it. This is one of my favorite songs by them by far.
My ex died in June of 2020... I can't listen to this song without thinking of her. We were already broken up, but that's not because either of us wanted to end things. It's all very complicated... I miss her every single day.
My spouse of 14 years died April of 2023. I found her convulsing in the living room a morning after my night shift, with our dog curled up next to her. I miss her every day too.
I just recently swapped from listening to EDM to this in December. Let me just say I’ve known Sleep Token from my best friend and he’s been listening to there music for a while now. I’m happy I changed genres now tho because it was 100% worth it!!! 🤍
@@xono9848 Ok the fact that you mentioned me in a comment and I’m literally listening to this song rn is crazy lol 😂 yet again not at the same time because I’m always listening to it
Yes, I’m not in a breakup but the one I love more than anything I lost 7 yrs ago and it ripped me apart to this day, it’s crazy but we read connected and live together right now but I feel like and think after this lease is up she’s going to be out of my life again and I’m trying to be the best version of me for her that I can and if she leaves after this I just don’t think I’ll be able to handle that pain again.
@BASS IMPROV JAMS hey man i feel that. Just gotta carry that thougg, and know that at least YOU were better this time around. Cant live your life dwelling on whether other people see it or not. Be true to yourself. That's something i came to grips with last year myself. Hope everything worked out though since it's been months since you commented. As always though, Worship!
I feel like this band has tapped into something we haven't seen before. The people who like them from TikTok may have just discovered them and started as Fairweather fans. And then they start to really listen and understand what ST are...and then they truly love them. These lyrics hit straight to the heart delivered with incredible vocals and played by flawless musicians. I can't put it into words, but ST are unlike any other band I've ever heard. These songs are so vulnerable and raw with emotion, and yet we dont get to learn who they really are. We only know them through their songs. Its amazing. ❤ST
I can't say how long it took me to get thru their discography. I can spend days or weeks on a single song! They are ALL so good. Not a single one I'd skip. What are they?! In a world of unoriginality we've been given a gift of something new and fresh and so gorgeous you can't look away-- music fans have been thirsty for a band like this forever but we didn't know until we found them, or they found us (however you ended up here). I feel like we're a part of something big.
People are afraid of change, we've become lazy, complacent, terrified of most things that don't conform to the normal. SleepToken are not normal; they are exceptional.
Sleep Token is empathy given form. It looks dark and confusing from the outside, but pierces even the hardest of souls given the right context. Sleep Token is Empathy.
"Blood Sport" - Lyrics I want to roll the numbers I want to feel my stars align again Even if the earth breaks like burnt skin And the heavens just won't open up for me Would you invite me in again? Won't you pay for your arrogance? Won't you show me your weakness? I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I can't win So let's play And somewhere Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing I'm still your favourite regret You're still my weapon of choosing And out there Stuck in a quantum pattern Tangled in what I never said You say it doesn't matter I want to be forgiven I want to choke in chunks of my own sins Even if the sky cracks in the morning And the heavens just won't open up for me Would you invite me again? Let me pay for my arrogance? Won't you show me your weakness? I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I can't win I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I made loving you a blood sport I can't win And somewhere Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing I'm still your favourite regret You're still my weapon of choosing And out there Stuck in a quantum pattern Tangled in what I never said You say it doesn't matter
I love how Sleep Token have created a community of Worshipers, who appreciate the beauty of their music and seem to have unconditional respect for fellow Worshipers. I don't usually write RUclips comments, yet, I feel like their channel is somewhere I can belong and express myself. Worship.
Agree 100%. I hope you still feel this way after 4 years. :) Sleep Token and the feeling in their community they have created are the reasons that I am going to go to a concert for the first time after being a complete shut in, afraid of everything and everyone for over 10 years. I'm scared as hell, but also for the first time in forever excited about something. I hope I can manage to go and not chicken out last second. I want to experience a ritual (concert) and I feel like the Sleep Token community is a safe community to experience it with. They all seem so full of love and empathy, knowing what it is like to not be okay, wanting to help raise others up and that's just lovely. Worship.
This album has completely coincided with one of the most emotionally heavy periods of my life, and as bittersweet as the end of this cycle is... These are gifts I'll cherish forever to remind me even in the darkest times I had something to hold onto. Worship.
I'm so with you on that, the release and cycle coincided with one of the worst periods of my life as well and this album pretty much saved me from completely falling apart. It's cliche to say, but I feel like I owe Sleep Token more than I could ever repay.
@@ghostbirdmike don't forget that it was you who had the strength to hold yourself together while using music to help you through it, stay strong and worship. Oh and you dropped this btw 👑
@@adammarks9582 thank you man, that really means a lot to hear. Keep up being a legend, it's nice to see geninely awesome responses like this in comments sections for a change 🤜🤛
So honestly my ex girlfriend and ex friend decided to leave me over something extremely stupid and it sucked because I know if they talked it out like adults like I wanted to we would be fine. But honestly I'm better off without them because they held me down in many ways. But I hope you are doing ok.
So Vessel has sinned and f**ked up beyond the point of no return (so it feels like) and he will probably be denied entry into heaven and in spite of all this, amazingly he STILL wants to holding on to this girl that he clearly still loves. He's hurting, metaphorically dripping blood with pain but he is still chasing after this girl he loves even though deep down he knows he already f**ked up. This is just my interpretation of the song.
Sleep Token is the only band that has consistently made me want to cry with their music. Vessel seems to infuse so much emotion into each song, especially the sad ones. Plus with how relatable these songs are, I can't help but tear up when listening to these songs
I can't believe this is the final one but good God it was worth it. Thanks to everyone who's helped me try and figure out the lyrics for each release. Until we meet again, Worship.

I'm kind of sad it'is all over.. Back in the summer I was waiting every other Thursday for you to release a new song and I was listening to it until the next release. I was working everyday so your songs helped me a lot to go through all the stuff I had to do. Blood sport is the perfect ending for the album, thank you so much!!
@@robjobse8860 Ive been waiting on them since Higher or Dark Signs, I dont remember. The album is like a cycle or a story which focuses on Vessel's deep and darker emotions and his longing to be together with someone. It starts off with falling in love with someone, going through the initial stages of being in a relationship, then as the album progresses, Vessel and his lover have disagreements with each other, but they remain together. Towards the end of the album (in Drag Me Under i think), Vessel's partner finally leaves him and in Blood Sport, Vessel wants his partner back; he cannot move on. But at the very end of the song (and the album) it was pointed out to him that by his partner that "it doesnt matter". To me, that signifies that all this doesnt really matter and the cycle finally ends. At the end of the day, the meaning of each song, the album as a whole, and the relationship of each song to the entirety of the album is all open to interpretation and understandings which is something that I love about this album so much. Vessel lays his heart and emotions out, and it really shows in the songs. Sleep (the ancient deity that they believe in) conjures emotions and feelings withing Vessel, and in turn, Vessel turns these conjuring into sonic experiences that we can all enjoy. That's why I love this band so much. W O R S H I P
Just found out about Sleep Token a couple days ago, and I'm actually kind of sad that I didn't get to see this album get released. It sounds like a process I would have really enjoyed. Still loving this music though.
@@trzigweid I think they will stick to this releasing strategy with all of their albums, so the next one will most likely be released track by track, too
@@icestorm_rb9057 Stop projecting. The lyrics arent meant to be explained by some guy in the RUclips comments. I could just as easily say that "the 'love' interest is in someone who passed away because I know for a fact who Vessel is and he had his mom pass away" but I wouldn't say that because Id feel like some pompous idiot trying to label another mans art with my anecdotal presuppositions.
Rarely does an artist come along and transcend music and art to something higher, something greater. Sleep Token has elevated art to a level that is nearly unobtainable. Thank you for this gift. Worship.
The Offering has been my favorite, but I think that this one might even be better, and it really hits in the feels. Congrats on the end of the cycle and the album release tomorrow! It has been a ride!
This is my favorite Sleep Token song... One of my top 5 songs is all time actually. This is ridiculously fantastic... 1:50 is PURE GOOSEBUMPS Edit: This is my favorite song. Period. Ever.
I’m a bit late to the party, but Sleep Token has spoken to me in ways other bands couldn’t. Blood Sport makes me think of my unrequited love and how he broke me out of my shell, taught me how to love again, and I stayed alive for him. He never loved me back even though I loved him like a dog. He saw my pain and respected me. I held onto the love for so long it started to hurt. Now I’m letting go and moving on. I love you, J. You saved my life.
How beautiful and breathtaking is this album? Sleep Token really knows how to devastate me, the soulful vocals combined with the many genre's and elements of music, that raw emotion, and the brutal guitars. What an adventure it's been getting these songs every other week, gonna miss that thrill. What a great time it is to be alive and not only listen, but experience this masterpiece, quite literally! I can't say enough to truly express how much this music means to me. I'm so happy that I was on Spotify that one August night of 2018, in the Discover Weekly playlist to find their track Nazareth, and be totally taken away, out this world. Otherwise I probably would have never found Sleep Token. Honestly, what a blessing!WORSHIP. WORSHIP. WORSHIP. ❤😂😊
Literally just found this band tonight and I really needed it. Going through some things in my life I could've never expected literally sitting around falling apart most of the time. For whatever reason this music reaches out and touches me
I originally discounted this song when I discovered sleep token, I found it when I needed it the most and it’s such a release. It can be what you need it to be as the lyrics are so metaphorical. It’s simply beautiful. I hope you get through what you’re going through. If you need to suffer in silence, don’t do it alone listen to sleep token and let the emotions out
What a unique experience experiencing the cycle of each song dropping. Really made me appreciate the full album more than any other album I've ever heard, much less each song being absolute perfection. I can't believe they ended the album with this. I was expecting the heaviest breakdown but instead, he had an actual breakdown at the end and it hits so much harder than anything on the album. Wow. I'm speechless. What an album. Top 3 albums of all time for me without even thinking about it. #worship
I have just found this band and to hear the true heart of this song with him sobbing at the end is all that I need to follow and look forward to seeing them at Aftershock in Oct. Hell yeah!
This album took me through a rough time in my life my nan passing and stuff been rough but this album really got me through it all. i cant even listen to levitate no more without having a tear for my nan W O R S H I P - music is about connecting and you guys smash it each time! R.I.P Nan never forgotten!
This is song is once again, perfection. Album of the year for 2019. It's likely going in to my top 5 albums EVER. Thank you for the music Sleep Token :)
Just sat in my dining room listening to both albums and didn’t get up once but to wipe the tears off after this song, it gets me every time so glad I found them!!
so... this ended. honestly i'm going to miss this cycle. every 2 weeks was a new experience, a new tune and a new perspective. this album deserves to be one of the best of the year without doubt. thanks, Sleep Token, and please never, never stop making awesome, breathtaking music like this. you are the musicians we needed but never deserved. Worship!
Well, it has definitely been a journey, boys. A lot has happened to me throughout the releases and these tracks have helped through it. Thanks Sleep Token, you're definitely my best find of 2019. *WORSHIP*
I feel so many different things right now. I'm so happy to finally have a studio version of this song, but I'm honestly sad it's over. Waiting for every other Thursday with everyone in anticipation of a new song just to hear what they had done next. This album is incredible and I don't think there will ever be anything like it again. Worship
I am so happy to finally have the studio version of this. I know next month when I see them live that it will be a spiritual experience. I might have to fight back some tears when they play this T_T
First - I find Sleep Token for myself a couple of weeks ago, already listen through most of their tracks. Second - I kind of having problems with communication and suicidal thoughts. Despite this shitty situation that I'm currently in, this isn't just music or even art. It is something more. In the darkness, when almost all is lost, there is something to devote yourself to. to Worship. (english is not my native, sorry for possible mistakes)
When I originally heard the live version of this, I was didn’t think it was anything super special, just another song they’d probably release as a single. But hearing it in the context of this rollercoaster of an album, I realise it’s the PERFECT closer to this album. The whole song builds to the final and most impactful climax of the album and the bright and ambiguous ending chord invites the bright future of Sleep Token. This album is a MASTERPIECE!
@@thecomebackkid1777 you two buddy. I have been through it and spent the whole winter rebuilding, this spring I feel like a caterpillar leaving it's cocoon and life is good.
i havent been feeling like myself because I discovered them. I found them 5 days ago. They are currently my favorite band of all time. I dont see that changing anytime soon either. I
My God this fucking song. Is such a whole of feelings you can’t stop listen. It makes you cry, being happy with your humanity and peace with yourself. These guys are something else
@@faithelizabethmusic What i can gather from the lyrics (from this particular song as well as their other ones) they speak about intricacies of relationships, extremities of it, along with some songs just worshipping the deity "Sleep". But no, Not blood rituals i think (^_^;)
For me its beutiful until the line "im still your favourite regret, your still my weapon of choosing" and I break. I've never been able to sing that line without my voice cracking. When your that broken by a relationship and carry the weight and scars of it with you every day and would do anything to get rid of it, it's so painful. "I wanna be forgiven, i wanna choke up chunks of my own sin" but words theyve said still damage you to this day. And when you've tried to find closure "you say it doesn't matter". This song is perfect in every way
The songwriter wants a miracle, even if there’s a chance they can’t be redeemed. They want to be forgiven for their sins and wonder if they can pay to be let in again. Let into heaven. Let into their person of interest’s life. This person who they share a subatomic connection with. In the meantime, a game is played where the songwriter is following a scarlet trail, making a sport out of finding their person of interest because there is much to still be said. *Just a creative response/interpretation to their music.
i can´t ask for anything more this year, my life has been better than ever and enjoying every step i took while i listened to sleep token it was all like and endless dream. WORSHIP
For the longest time I was chasing after a guy that was originally my best friend. We would occasionally hook up and there were times I would seriously think we were going to be together. I literally moved halfway across my home state to be closer to him, giving up a lot. But in the end, he ghosted me and ended up being with a girl he met on TikTok. It’s taken me a long time to get back to myself, and I realize now just how unhealthy the situation was, but there are times I still miss him and wish he’d chosen me first…
One of the best bands I ever stumbled across. Saw them open up for Polyphia in Orlando and was instantly attracted to the sound. These guys KILL it live. So much passion and raw emotion, not to mention they sound just like the studio recording. Can't wait to see them again. Worship
The first time I heard this song, I was emotional, but when I heard Vessel crying at the end, I lost it. This is one of my favorite songs by them by far.
Vessel crying at the end weighs more than the heaviest guitar. Worship.
Adds a really powerful touch to a very emotional song. :)
Goosebumps bro!!!😭😭
Ugh plus the powerful end chorus. Never heard him belt so hard
shit I actually teared up
What does worship mean? im new here

So did mine January 2021. Wishing you all the best bro hope things get easier, keep your head up ❤

"Blood Sport" - Lyrics
I want to roll the numbers
I want to feel my stars align again
Even if the earth breaks like burnt skin
And the heavens just won't open up for me
Would you invite me in again?
Won't you pay for your arrogance?
Won't you show me your weakness?
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
So let's play
And somewhere
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing
I'm still your favourite regret
You're still my weapon of choosing
And out there
Stuck in a quantum pattern
Tangled in what I never said
You say it doesn't matter
I want to be forgiven
I want to choke in chunks of my own sins
Even if the sky cracks in the morning
And the heavens just won't open up for me
Would you invite me again?
Let me pay for my arrogance?
Won't you show me your weakness?
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I made loving you a blood sport
I can't win
And somewhere
Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing
I'm still your favourite regret
You're still my weapon of choosing
And out there
Stuck in a quantum pattern
Tangled in what I never said
You say it doesn't matter
Thank you 🙏
Thank you.
Thank you, my first song of their's.
“Tangled in what I never said“ damn
The crying at the end feels like the right emotion to finish off the cycle

I'm kind of sad it'is all over.. Back in the summer I was waiting every other Thursday for you to release a new song and I was listening to it until the next release. I was working everyday so your songs helped me a lot to go through all the stuff I had to do. Blood sport is the perfect ending for the album, thank you so much!!
@@robjobse8860 Ive been waiting on them since Higher or Dark Signs, I dont remember. The album is like a cycle or a story which focuses on Vessel's deep and darker emotions and his longing to be together with someone. It starts off with falling in love with someone, going through the initial stages of being in a relationship, then as the album progresses, Vessel and his lover have disagreements with each other, but they remain together. Towards the end of the album (in Drag Me Under i think), Vessel's partner finally leaves him and in Blood Sport, Vessel wants his partner back; he cannot move on. But at the very end of the song (and the album) it was pointed out to him that by his partner that "it doesnt matter". To me, that signifies that all this doesnt really matter and the cycle finally ends.
At the end of the day, the meaning of each song, the album as a whole, and the relationship of each song to the entirety of the album is all open to interpretation and understandings which is something that I love about this album so much. Vessel lays his heart and emotions out, and it really shows in the songs. Sleep (the ancient deity that they believe in) conjures emotions and feelings withing Vessel, and in turn, Vessel turns these conjuring into sonic experiences that we can all enjoy. That's why I love this band so much. W O R S H I P
Just found out about Sleep Token a couple days ago, and I'm actually kind of sad that I didn't get to see this album get released. It sounds like a process I would have really enjoyed. Still loving this music though.
@@trzigweid I think they will stick to this releasing strategy with all of their albums, so the next one will most likely be released track by track, too
New album September, can't wait to worship again.
@@icestorm_rb9057 Stop projecting. The lyrics arent meant to be explained by some guy in the RUclips comments. I could just as easily say that "the 'love' interest is in someone who passed away because I know for a fact who Vessel is and he had his mom pass away" but I wouldn't say that because Id feel like some pompous idiot trying to label another mans art with my anecdotal presuppositions.
1:13 as soon as that piano kicks in, instant chills
man talk about feelings, hearing vessel cry at the very end hurts more than anything, it just makes it feel more real, god i love sleep token
I'm amazed that there isn't a lot of views on this song. Definitely one of my favorite songs by Sleep Token. 🖤
His crying at the end. I can't 😢
I wish I could sit down and talk to Vessel, ask him who this is about. Such deep emotions. 😢 Love you, Ves! Don’t be sad. 🖤
I could never decide my favorite band until I found you. Perfection. Worship.
This is just too beautiful, you just dont listen you experience it.
Rarely does an artist come along and transcend music and art to something higher, something greater. Sleep Token has elevated art to a level that is nearly unobtainable. Thank you for this gift. Worship.
The Offering has been my favorite, but I think that this one might even be better, and it really hits in the feels. Congrats on the end of the cycle and the album release tomorrow! It has been a ride!
This is my favorite Sleep Token song... One of my top 5 songs is all time actually. This is ridiculously fantastic... 1:50 is PURE GOOSEBUMPS
Edit: This is my favorite song. Period. Ever.
That part is good to but at 2:22 it hits harder…🥺 but yah it’s my favorite song too.
Worship
It’s been awhile since a song moved me to tears 😭 🔥
I’m a bit late to the party, but Sleep Token has spoken to me in ways other bands couldn’t. Blood Sport makes me think of my unrequited love and how he broke me out of my shell, taught me how to love again, and I stayed alive for him. He never loved me back even though I loved him like a dog. He saw my pain and respected me. I held onto the love for so long it started to hurt. Now I’m letting go and moving on. I love you, J. You saved my life.
How beautiful and breathtaking is this album? Sleep Token really knows how to devastate me, the soulful vocals combined with the many genre's and elements of music, that raw emotion, and the brutal guitars. What an adventure it's been getting these songs every other week, gonna miss that thrill. What a great time it is to be alive and not only listen, but experience this masterpiece, quite literally! I can't say enough to truly express how much this music means to me. I'm so happy that I was on Spotify that one August night of 2018, in the Discover Weekly playlist to find their track Nazareth, and be totally taken away, out this world. Otherwise I probably would have never found Sleep Token. Honestly, what a blessing!WORSHIP. WORSHIP. WORSHIP. ❤😂😊
Feels like an epilogue that leaves you with a giant hole in your chest. Album's over. I'm not sad. I loved every second of every song. I'm just...numb
You're genuinely the most underrated band on this planet
Life is worth living when we know Sleep Token.
Worship
Literally just found this band tonight and I really needed it. Going through some things in my life I could've never expected literally sitting around falling apart most of the time. For whatever reason this music reaches out and touches me
I originally discounted this song when I discovered sleep token, I found it when I needed it the most and it’s such a release. It can be what you need it to be as the lyrics are so metaphorical. It’s simply beautiful. I hope you get through what you’re going through. If you need to suffer in silence, don’t do it alone listen to sleep token and let the emotions out
This hits so deep. It makes me want to cry but I can't stop repeating the track.
Absolute perfection.
Sleep Token: Release a new Song
.
.
.
Brain: Yes to everything.
What a unique experience experiencing the cycle of each song dropping. Really made me appreciate the full album more than any other album I've ever heard, much less each song being absolute perfection.
I can't believe they ended the album with this. I was expecting the heaviest breakdown but instead, he had an actual breakdown at the end and it hits so much harder than anything on the album. Wow. I'm speechless. What an album. Top 3 albums of all time for me without even thinking about it. #worship
Play this song at my funeral. Thank you.
Words cannot express what i feel right now.
That cymbal roll then the cry, dear God!
Not even listened to it yet and I've already liked it. They can't make a bad song.
The feels are real in this one.
W O R S H I P
his cries at the end genuinely hurt me. i love u vesse
I have just found this band and to hear the true heart of this song with him sobbing at the end is all that I need to follow and look forward to seeing them at Aftershock in Oct. Hell yeah!
A great tribute to sleep
Worship.
This album took me through a rough time in my life my nan passing and stuff been rough but this album really got me through it all. i cant even listen to levitate no more without having a tear for my nan W O R S H I P - music is about connecting and you guys smash it each time! R.I.P Nan never forgotten!
I too lost my nan during this cycle, I feel you.
@@FauxRain Sorry to hear man
Been a fan for years now, and I've just got to say... this song is perfection!
This song says exactly what I'm feeling right now. I just broke down in tears.
This is song is once again, perfection. Album of the year for 2019. It's likely going in to my top 5 albums EVER. Thank you for the music Sleep Token :)
Just sat in my dining room listening to both albums and didn’t get up once but to wipe the tears off after this song, it gets me every time so glad I found them!!
so... this ended. honestly i'm going to miss this cycle. every 2 weeks was a new experience, a new tune and a new perspective. this album deserves to be one of the best of the year without doubt.
thanks, Sleep Token, and please never, never stop making awesome, breathtaking music like this. you are the musicians we needed but never deserved.
Worship!
When does the album come out?
I'm waiting to spend money with the quickness
@@jessesherman3881 it's out now
This was in my recommended and I can tell you right now, I'm not mad at all, because this is so so far beyond beautiful it's like, just unbelievable!!
This has been a journey ill never forget. From the very first song to the last. Ill WORSHIP for life.
This song hits different as someone with BPD. Living with that disorder made it hell for me when it came to friendships and relationships
I feel ya there 💖
Really also hits different as someone who loves someone with BPD
3:06 - Here I couldn't bare it, started crying... Jesus Christ Sleep Token
Well, it has definitely been a journey, boys. A lot has happened to me throughout the releases and these tracks have helped through it. Thanks Sleep Token, you're definitely my best find of 2019. *WORSHIP*
I don't feel the least bit unmanly admitting that this song makes me weep every time I hear it
I feel so many different things right now. I'm so happy to finally have a studio version of this song, but I'm honestly sad it's over. Waiting for every other Thursday with everyone in anticipation of a new song just to hear what they had done next.
This album is incredible and I don't think there will ever be anything like it again.
Worship
Same here....
I am so happy to finally have the studio version of this. I know next month when I see them live that it will be a spiritual experience. I might have to fight back some tears when they play this T_T
Hey, at least we got 2 more absolute masterpieces. I cry at Euclid maybe more than this, somehow haha.
This album is an experience for sure ❤️🖤 ST is definitely going on my list of favorite bands lol
They are honestly one of the greatest bands to have come out in the last few years
This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. 💜
Heard this song thousand of times, never noticed the sobbing until the end. God damn that hit me so much.
First - I find Sleep Token for myself a couple of weeks ago, already listen through most of their tracks. Second - I kind of having problems with communication and suicidal thoughts. Despite this shitty situation that I'm currently in, this isn't just music or even art. It is something more.
In the darkness, when almost all is lost, there is something to devote yourself to.
to Worship.

When I originally heard the live version of this, I was didn’t think it was anything super special, just another song they’d probably release as a single. But hearing it in the context of this rollercoaster of an album, I realise it’s the PERFECT closer to this album. The whole song builds to the final and most impactful climax of the album and the bright and ambiguous ending chord invites the bright future of Sleep Token. This album is a MASTERPIECE!
I can´t possibly put into words how your music makes me feel. All I can say is that im grateful for finding out about you guys.
I went through the hardest part of my life so far last summer and this album has helped no end
Did you say summer? Same.
Have a nice life, stranger.
@@thecomebackkid1777 you two buddy. I have been through it and spent the whole winter rebuilding, this spring I feel like a caterpillar leaving it's cocoon and life is good.
Save the best for the last. Definitely best album of the year. Sleep Token is on another level. I'm crying. Worship.
I have full body chills this song is so SO insanely underrated holy hell
The absolute raw emotion at the end broke me. I only discovered this band recently and I have not stopped listening since
1:24 is the best part of the song for me, Definitely one of my favorite songs on the album along with Levitate
Sleep token caught me off guard. For the past few days I haven't been feeling like myself. This helped me and I fell in love with you guys.
Worship
i havent been feeling like myself because I discovered them. I found them 5 days ago. They are currently my favorite band of all time. I dont see that changing anytime soon either. I
@@BullCityCocktails hell yeah bro. How u liking the news songs?
My God this fucking song. Is such a whole of feelings you can’t stop listen. It makes you cry, being happy with your humanity and peace with yourself.
These guys are something else
Goosebumps...again!! This music resonates somewhere so deeply inside me that it shakes my core. Love you guys, thank you,
3:23
Yes
You like Sleep Token? You have a great taste in music you should cover a sleep token song
@@rewoundmusic2312 He has, actually. And it's fire.
Ezekiel Grey yeah I saw that it was really good!
End of cycle of releases. Start of cycle of me listening to the whole album on repeat.
WORSHIP
I love this band but I’m confused by their message,
Are they into blood rituals or is this all a metaphor 😅😬
@@faithelizabethmusic What i can gather from the lyrics (from this particular song as well as their other ones) they speak about intricacies of relationships, extremities of it, along with some songs just worshipping the deity "Sleep".
But no, Not blood rituals i think (^_^;)
sleep token is a sacred bleeding hole deep into my heart and id be nothing without it. worship!
For me its beutiful until the line "im still your favourite regret, your still my weapon of choosing" and I break. I've never been able to sing that line without my voice cracking. When your that broken by a relationship and carry the weight and scars of it with you every day and would do anything to get rid of it, it's so painful. "I wanna be forgiven, i wanna choke up chunks of my own sin" but words theyve said still damage you to this day. And when you've tried to find closure "you say it doesn't matter". This song is perfect in every way
The songwriter wants a miracle, even if there’s a chance they can’t be redeemed. They want to be forgiven for their sins and wonder if they can pay to be let in again.
Let into heaven.
Let into their person of interest’s life.
This person who they share a subatomic connection with. In the meantime, a game is played where the songwriter is following a scarlet trail, making a sport out of finding their person of interest because there is much to still be said.
*Just a creative response/interpretation to their music.
i can´t ask for anything more this year, my life has been better than ever and enjoying every step i took while i listened to sleep token it was all like and endless dream.
WORSHIP
this it .... T H E E N D worship ♥️
The Offering is what brought me in, but this one sold me.
Worship
I cry every time I sing this. Worship eternal ❤️
For the longest time I was chasing after a guy that was originally my best friend. We would occasionally hook up and there were times I would seriously think we were going to be together. I literally moved halfway across my home state to be closer to him, giving up a lot. But in the end, he ghosted me and ended up being with a girl he met on TikTok. It’s taken me a long time to get back to myself, and I realize now just how unhealthy the situation was, but there are times I still miss him and wish he’d chosen me first…
2:52 and on makes me tear up without fail every time.
One of the best bands I ever stumbled across. Saw them open up for Polyphia in Orlando and was instantly attracted to the sound. These guys KILL it live. So much passion and raw emotion, not to mention they sound just like the studio recording. Can't wait to see them again. Worship
