You were my wife's favorite band. She passed a month ago and this song hits me so hard. Thank you for giving my wife joy when she was sad.
this makes me cry a lot, i hope ur ok!! big hug from Brazil 😭💕💕🇧🇷
Blessings😢
My condolences for your loss, sending all the love from the UK. I hope that concert heals a small wound for you
Man, this hit hard. Bless you.
I hurt for you, friend... find peace.
They could write 20 minute songs and pull it off flawlessly.
@scottshokk7453 Sounds like a you problem
@scottshokk7453 then get out of this comment section
@scottshokk7453 I mean they are called SLEEP Token 🤣
Not sure if you're trying to diss them or not, but if you don't like them then don't listen to them. You don't have to leave a comment about it.
@scottshokk7453 cool shinfo bro.
@scottshokk7453 Get the hell out of here. No need to comment where it’s not wanted
My daughter was just born today, we called her eden. She's a beautiful little girl ❤
❤❤❤
Congratulations 🎉
🎉❤Congratulations❤🎉
Congratulations ❤
Blessings to your new little one for a long and healthy and happy life!!
One morning, I was driving to work when this song came on the radio. Somewhere in the middle of it, I got a call from my brother telling me that our mother had passed away.
Ever since then, whenever I hear that song playing somewhere, I pause for a moment, think of her, and quietly say, “hi, Mom.”
may she rest in peace man , Im sorry for your loss
I'm so very sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss 😞
Cornball
so sorry for your lost, I may be not know your mom at all but I'm sure that's she was a good person and she's resting now in a good place, always pray about her. xoxo
What a way to start the morning
Yea its gonna be a good day.
Mornin
Same here, listening to this before starting the day feelsgoodman
Mournin'
Morning
“I don’t know what’s got it’s teeth in me but I’m about to bite back in anger” is such a perfect line
I was literally just thinking about this line lol
its*
it's = it is / it has
@Webberjo itsy bitsy spider
Hiya all❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤😢😮😅😊❤.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤ 1:29 .
thats my favorite line aside from the whole screams at the end!
I love the fact that unlike many british singers vessel doesn't lose his accent while singing which adds a nice flavour to the song.
Sounds a lot like the guy in Bastille, actually.
@Zeta9966 Oh man, I can hear it now! I thought he sounded familiar but couldn't place it.
I'm a non native english speaker so I don't hear Vessel has any British accent. Cause usually British guys uses too much thrust & push too much air from their mouth while speak. Like the pronunciation of the word "too" would be sounds like "thhhhoo" for british. So, I'm confused like a "Boo-wooa-wah-ah" 🤣
Btw, Vessel's voice is out of this world.
@alexjohnson6674British accents are also in a huge range, so i get it.
@Zeta9966I thought instantly of Bastille vibes
This song grew on me, day after day, night after night. Until I realised this is one of the most beautiful, haunting, mesmerizing piece of music I've ever came across.
Completely agree about the second half, but for me, it was instant. As soon as I heard it I was in awe.
It was only a couple weeks ago that I realized this as well. I finally truly tuned into the rap section of this song and just about lost it.
Swear it took me twice before I was like what the hell did I listen to, I was blown away and a fan
Same. I didn't like it at first. First 2 or 3 times, I was like nah...then WHOAH!
I didn’t really click with this song for a whole year until recently-each song will find you I swear
"No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence"
Fuck me, that hit hard.
Read this comment randomly at the exact seconds those lyrics come up
I’ve quoted this single line as well across my social media.
Sweet Enigma lyrics, bro
@meteoricmistand no amount of love will keep it around if we dont choose it. Love that line to 😮😢🤘🤘
Same
Even Orthodontists listen to Sleep Token
You're a cool dentist then lol
that means your a cool dentist 10/10 would recommend
make sense they mention a lot of things related to teeth and mouth
In the office or in your car?
love this!!!
This song has all, it has screams, a massive breakdown, a huge chorus, amazing verse's, totally worship
SPOILER :(
@Axel Pineda how so?
@AxelShavargo Then don't read the comments before watching/listening lmao there's always bound to be spoilers
*verses
@AxelShavargo it also has guitars and drums in it lol
Discovered a few minutes before midnight on Easter 2025..
Wow! 62 yr old retired..retired classic rock..metal..punk..60s 70s 80s & 90s pop..finally praise team drummer for 50 yrs.
I have never heard anything so unique..true inspiration genre bending heavenly & heavy woven so original.
Great things in the future for these lads!!!
..possibly have this played at my funeral.. 🤔
The drums are next level, its also a deep song. About love for Eden (if as he is adam) , then at the end of the song hes in Hell screaming for his old "eden" , also the garden, how the song starts all beautiful. So sad. JC is king.
Look up Russian Circles, Riverside, Lunatic Soul, Tool, and Gojira ❤❤
Definitely different and has so many elements of our Boom generation 🎉Totally digging it!
I just discovered this the other day and I couldn’t have said it better myself, so unique and just plain almost spiritual badassness
Discovered them about 6 weeks ago, from my son. I'm turning 65 soon... and totally obsessed with ST. Gotta catch their ritual in the US coming up in the Fall. 👊👊🎶🎵🎶
My neighbors are gonna love this song
at the price of hating me, but you know, someone gotta introduce them to sleep token XD
This comment 👌
No one loves this song its trash
@GlassDama9I suspect my neighbors hear it in there sleep now, this whole album gets a loooooot of playtime since I found it Lolol
@kans4629 hahahaha I can imagine. Same here
Sleep Token could write a song about a chicken sandwich, and make it absolutely heart-wrenching and compelling. This song is the pinnacle of their discography. It moved my entire being. I am thankful for their existence.
Excellent news, I really enjoy a good chicken sandwich.
simp
....no
Worship
@ShrimpTechStocks yep.
"No amount of love will keep it around, if we don't choose it."
These guys are incredible.
Incredible. 😮🎉
*Guy. Vessel writes and records everything other than the drums.
@donaldthescotishtwin Hey, II is incredible too. III and IIII kick ass too, even if they just appear on live tours
They are incredible, but that line isn't extraordinary or anything.. 😂.
I mean that's kind of common knowledge.
"No amount of self sought fury will bring back the joy of innocence"..... Now that's an amazing line.
5:28 I am ASCENDING. Pure poetry put into music. Goosebumps every. single. time.
This song breaks you and simultaneously heals everything that's broken in you.
That doesn't sound good.
It's beautiful tbh... Makes you realize what you lost under your own selfish desires and at the same time tells you to love harder cause of those lost times lost innocence...it hit deep.@blain20_
thats what pimps do...they break h03s and teach them how to walk that block
It's a form of Brinkmanship
@jinxthebrat9813 It does. The lyrics are so poetically interpersonal that even now at the age I am can still hope to feel something thru song.
Sleep token is the band you wish you could find for the first time again, but every new album makes you feel that way.
Damn true 😢❤
True. Haven't felt that since I discovered Angels and Airwaves in the mid 2000s
I'm finding them for the first time right now.
have you never heard Katatonia... !!!
Literally just found this band last night! Holy crap!
The singers voice is like the SILKIEST cup off dark roast coffee. Still a tad bitter but it hits that spot that makes you go oh yeaaaah. Listen to this so many times
🎉🎉
I love this description
So true. I love vessel's voice sm and heavenly voice + euphoric metal-y music = perfect.
Were you drinking coffee when typing thar comment? 😂
@doyz5803 no I just really like coffee and recently started using my French press again which makes coffee taste so much better lol
My grandson started to listen in my car and I love the living shit out of it he just turned 13 and I got him a poster and a T-shirt
That’s awesome
My 6yr old grandson brought me here as well❤
Can I have a shirt too
whoever mixed this album needs a fucking grammy good lord
Dude seriously and I know the sound guy who did the Grammys sound 🤔
This álbum won The Heavy Music Awards last month.
Well they won album of the year at the Heavy awards 🤘🏼
agreed :')
Drums could have been mixed a tad bit better but when it comes to everything else MY GOODNESS the engineer nailed it 🔥🔥🔥.
I give it a 9.5/10 on the mix
The amount of references in this song is quite honestly incredible. Bits from all the way through the albums. They're not completly shoved down your throat either. Breathtaking.
Not just the album. Entire history of the band and few members. If you know we're to look ✌️
@Rickertik010 I know the project you're talking about but can you mention the actual references? I didn't catch them
@camdenwyeth316 In Ascensionism he says I can offer you a blacklit paradise, and on Euclid he says "these ancient canopies we used to lay beneath." He also says something about the Bough breaking (a reference to When the Bough breaks) there's also musical references through the whole album. The love you want in Euclid, the melody on the end of this when he references Chokehold is a slowed down version of the melody in The Offering etc.
@ninja3687 The last euclid piano riff is the same as The Night does not Belong to God, and vessel also sings the night belongs to you. Maybe he's finally reached God in Eden.
"it was no accident"
"And no amount of love will keep it around if we don't choose it"... What a line.
Live that shit because it's so true.
It's double edged, you can stop choosing a bad/toxic/abusive relationship and still love the person who hurt you.
Love isn't enough, it can't be. Especially if it only flows in one direction (like worship).
"I'm 14 And This Is Deep"
lmao nail on the head@Horton138
@Horton138 lmfaooooo
0:35 This song has every component that I could ever dream of
💯Speak, scream, louder for the people in the back🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love how the end feels like he is damn near bout to break into Eden. You either let him in or he is breaking in.
Absolutely right😍
Boo fucking hoo core....
So sad it's sad.
Nu metal paint by numbers dross.
This comment. ❤
Vessel is defying holy order, going against higher power
Sounds demonic.
"My, my those eyes like fire, I'm a winged insect you're a funeral pyre" -- ONLY Sleep Token could make "a moth to a flame" hauntingly poetic.
Sorry if this is what you just said but I interpret this as My my those eyes like fire talking about a girls eyes and how drawing and pretty they are. I’m a winged insect your a funeral pyre. A funeral pyre is where you burn a structure or something and winged bugs can be attracted to it showing his great attraction to the girl
@caydendoe1057 yeah that's exactly what he said, but you added a more detailed description, to add to your comment I will say it also means that attraction will lead him to his destruction or desease
@caydendoe1057 u guys said the same thing. He is the moth and she is the pyre
@ ok ty
I Prevail is better.
The Apparition and Rain are unreal tracks. And this one just shows why it's the title track. The little surprise at the end of the album caught me off guard and it was so pleasant. Overall, album of the year nominee for me. Beautiful album all around.
Aha türk 🇹🇷😅
@Dozer51 aha bir Türk daha 😂
Aha Türkler.
The end of Euclid was *such* a cool surprise and felt like a personal message from Vessel. Worship.
not a nominee, best album of the year without even finishing the year, it is an instant classic that you know instantly
coming here after losing a friend yesterday... It's hard to lose optimists but I'm thankful for the trail they left behind.
I’m sorry about your friend. Wishing you the best in your grieving journey.
Same bro. Never felt this close to someone in my life. Used to stay up all night laying in bed just vibing to sleep token, Radiohead, arctic monkeys and the killers. I feel nothing but emptiness inside now. Sucks losing a friend you were that close to..
Loss is really to deal with so this is how I view it. I am greatful for any amount of time that I had with the people I love and have lost they were a blessing and I am forever greatful and I owe it to them to live the best and happiest life possible in their honor. This brings me comfort
Can we take a moment to give massive props to the producer? Theres so much going on in all the channels, the front, the back, but its all so clear and audible. Zero muddy-ness. Amazing band, amazing producer.
the producer is vessel and carl brown. but mostly vessel.
No we can't.
@neonclubmx Vessel being a part of the production makes this band even better for me, not sure why but it feels good knowing how involved he is
@neonclubmx The glazing is crazy. It’s definitely the professional that’s been doing it for ages
engineer * my guy
"I guess it goes to show does it not, We've no idea what we've got until we lose it, no amount of love will keep it around if we dont choose it."
This part hit me somewhere so deep that it took me back to my childhood, and it broke me. It is very rare when a song can bring out such deep emotions of anger, love and hate. This song did it!
I hope you are not blaming your childhood self for not choosing love to be around. You are not to blame but of course the pain is real and it can be very fruitful to reflect the past and try to understand it to get a better picture of the present self.
Same for me... the chorus? "My, my, those eyes like fire/I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre/Come now, bite through these wires/I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired" just...wow.
Feel that, but with a break up. But maybe it's deeper. Maybe it is childhood too.
Seeing them 29th Nov 02 can't fucking wait .... .
I listened to this song the whole time I was pregnant. Now my daughter is three months old, and when she cries, I play it. Her eyes get huge because she still remembers the sound, and then she calms right down.. it amazes me every time
I'm currently preggo with a boy,my bf is into country and I am not so I'm interested in what kinda music my boy will be into, he mostly hears my music as of now though, I do plan on introducing him to all the music I grew up on and see what he thinks
Well she has garbage taste
My oldest was the same way with Tool. Now, I play Sleep Token AND Tool with my pregnant nieces and their babies come out being soothed by them.
@Atraphealmargoh Lmao, straight up 13 year old loser comment
I listen to Sleep Token when I have panic attacks and I calm down faster than anything I’ve tried❤ I love Sleep Token they’ve saved my life countless times❤️
The song that got me into Sleep Token. Heard it for the first time and was absolutely blown away.
There's a very sad and melancholy nostalgia to this man's voice. Yeah, these songs are very personal to him, and it shows. Also, can we just appreciate how beautiful his voice is? That gift should not go without mentioning. It's as if a man is striving for a feeling of completeness he lost a long time ago.
His voice sounds like he understands me, if that makes any sense lol
❤sentimientos puros ❤
@angelesalvarezlasarte656 I apologize for not understanding what that means. Could you translate that to English? I understand the part where you were conveying a sentiment of sorts as one of the words suggested. But what's the sentiment? Again, I really only speak English.
I'm hoping that he's using proper techniques for his harsh vocals. Wouldn't want him to lose his voice from doing screams wrong.
@gavindooly2375 Google translate translates it to "Pure feelings"
Take me wherever you want at this point. This is a masterpiece
Indeed
I honestly haven't been this excited for an album in decades. Brilliant.
Decades?? 😂
@irishtexan100 get out of here
Same. Havent been this excited for an album in years
Tool fans: hold my beer...
Maynard said he's writing new music for Tool, APC, and Puscifer. You're in luck.. 😂.
Also Sleep Token i think is about to drop new music as well.
I'm listening to this song for the first time, and holy shit... I feel like I just transcended to another plane of being.
Welcome
You really have to be good to have me listening to 8+ minutes of a song. Fantastic
So like every tool song
You must be new to metal and it's subgenres
So every dream theater song
Pop songs were a mistake
@AvgABC561 Lol I listen to the full Octavarium song (24 minutes) without skipping because it's so good
This band has done something in my soul that I just can’t explain. It’s like every lyric is a thought I’ve always had that I didn’t know how to put into words. This is so much deeper than just music.
This...this hits it.
Agree. It’s magic, it’s art… it’s unexplainable. Welcome to worship my friend.
Steph carpenter from Deftones sent me here.
I feel that with them as well. It's hard to explain but it just hits you in that one spot deeper then anything before
100000%
Me & my husband named our daughter Eden & we play this song for her all the time.
May she have a happy healthy life, all power little Eden
Play her Eden On The Air by Cardiacs, then listen to the rest of the album it's on. It musically obliterates this amalgamate trash. She will grow up well super intelligent, excel her peers..
@PEGGLORE wait your calling sleep token trash?
Us too but I don't play her this song!
How old is she tho
I've listened to this song dozens of time and i just noticed at about 7:00 you hear "branches in a flood". The same lyrics from Chokehold
Also “it was no accident “
WAIT I NEVER NOTICED THIS
Holy shit you’re right!!!
That’s what I love about ST. All the callbacks! If it isn’t lyrics, it’s different sounds!! Like how the end of Euclid ties into the beginning of TNDNBTG!
This is a fucking masterpiece i'm in disbelief how this band incorporates multiple genres cohesively. I've never heard anything like this before. The vocals and drums are out of this world.
Just found them 3 days ago. I am still shocked at the feelings that came up.
Welcome to the cult 😈 (Just kidding, it's not really a cult but we do have cookies! 🍪)
What? You're that lonely in life? Go get into a fight.
@TylerDurden-FC99 Come over and let me fight you then big guy
Literally found them this week and I’ve been playing nonstop
Wherever this band goes from here, I can only hope that they know how much this music means to so many of us. How much these songs have resonated…
If it is true that “nothing lasts forever”, I’m glad that I had the privilege of being here while it did and for as long as it continues.
Thank you, Sleep Token.
Worship.
They know. Listen to the room below speech. "You saved me." It is reciprocated, reciprocal". And Euclid...Euclid emphasizes that.
Beautifully put.
Everything and nothing lasts forever simultaneously if you want to believe leading metaphysical theory based on quantum mechanical behavior of particles/waves/time, so it’s really our concept of reality and how we define it that differentiates what ‘nothing’ contra ‘a thing’ is. It can mean that everything will end, or that that end will never end and/or also that not even nothing lasts forever because nothing does. Just felt like sharing a perspective on it. :)
I love reading posts from a few years ago, 2 years later and they are doing AMAZING things!
Such an amazing song. Sleep token is somehow the perfect mix of metal, dying goats, pop, rap, funk, emotion and who fucking knows what else.
Dying goats 😂
Whatever floats your -dying- goat 😂😂
Dying goats😭
Holy shit! These guys are on their own planet. Literally
True.
😊😅😮😢 0:43 0:43 0:43
I'm here to tell Vessel that he created a beautiful masterpiece, to me Take Me Back To Eden it's perfection that others bands would like to achieve. Thank you for this beautiful masterpiece. WORSHIP.
It sounds kinda like imagine dragons if they were heavy
Dear God it's like a band has sold their soul for completely flawless and heart-wrenching music that cannot be compared to nothing else. Absolutely love this band
I'm pretty sure they did 😅 Take a second to look up the symbol the singer wears on it's mask
Worship ❤
@pappasierra703 what is that symbol?
@ColereHumanity its an ancient rune from Elder Futhark that grants immense energy at the cost of great sacrifice. It means a couple other things too, but the band basically sacrifice everything to give us this music.
Really?
Whoever is mixing and mastering for Sleep Token deserve all kinds of Grammy's. The sonics and production are absolutely incredible.
I believe it’s George Lever. He does clips on URM Academy vids here on RUclips where he talks about working with ST, respecting their anonymity, etc. He also has some playing credits on some of the songs, he played bass on Alkaline.
@joedamore7653 This one was done by Carl Brown and Vessel himself
@joedamore7653 Not for this album. This is the first thing they've done without him
@ER04040 I liked Lever’s mixes, they were dense yet had separation, especially the de-tuned guitars, they were really crushing. And the vocal production was so clear and articulate.
@joedamore7653 and the drums. Lever's production on drums are just insanely good
This is the first time I heard this song. I was organizing my closet and let RUclips choose for me and play this song. I trembled. I felt like I heard it before time was even born. It is in my bones.
What was in the closet?
This album truly brought us all to Eden, absolutely beautiful
✅️✅️✅️
This album cleansed my ears, body and soul.
This work of art will be the soundtrack of my existence.
Thank you Sleep Token, WORSHIP.
Bro. This shit cleansed my colon AND sinuses. 😂
😂
I mean you should only really worship Jesus but I really like sleep tokens music
@MoonOwl333 Jesus above everything! 🙏🏼☀️
❤❤❤
Even Sleep Token listens to Sleep Token
"I don't know what's got its teeth in me, but I'm about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence." Probably one of the best lines I've ever heard. This line speaks of the cruel reality of marching time. Your mortality has bit you, and it's hungry. It's relentless, cruel, and harsh;you bleed, and bleed, and bleed until there's nothing but a husk of a body that once was youthful, beautiful, chaste, and innocent. And, no amount of self-sought fury or outward rage to some God could bring it back.
Phenomenal. I've been listening to this album on repeat all day.
I've had it on repeat pretty much all day since 3am hahaha, absolutely obsessed
@ryanlennon6269 same
7:03 “we were tangled up like branches in a flood.”
I love when artist reference their own songs 🙏🏾🙏🏾🖤
It could also be considered as a motif, Periphery does this a bunch as well!
@isaintlikei4076Architects are the king of this. I remember in an interview them talking about it and saying how powerful of a tool it is because you can with one line of reference to another song bring in an entire songs worth of meaning with that one line. Really cool narrative tool.
@rappleby91I love Architects
if you're a fan of referental lines + motifs I highly recommend The Dear Hunter! their sound is different from this but their Acts I - V are all narratively and musically connected
@brachycrab I second this! Also the Periphery recommendation!
[Verse 1]
I dream in phosphorescence
Bleed through spaces
See you drifting past the fog
But no one told you where to go
We dive through crystal waters
Perfect oceans
But no one told me not to breathe
And now the weightlessness recedes
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and thе gods grow tired
Reset my patiеnt violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
[Refrain]
I will travel far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
[Verse 2]
Well, yeah, I spit blood when I wake up
Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make-up
Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up
Room feels like a meat freezer
I dangle in like cold cuts
Missed calls, answer phones from people I just don't trust
Mirror talk, fake love
But I'll take a pound of your flesh 'fore you take a piece of my paystub
White roses, black doves
Godmother, rise up
I need you to see me for what I have become
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
[Verse 3]
I guess it goes to show, does it not?
That we've no idea what we've got
Until we lose it (Until we lose it, until we lose it)
And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don't choose it (Choose it)
And I don't know what's got its teeth in me
But I'm about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
(When we were made)
(I know)
(It was no accident)
(You know my desire)
(We were tangled up like branches in a flood)
[Refrain]
I have traveled far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
🖤🕊
You a real one fo dis
You’re the best!!
Make this into a video ASAP!!
Ohh dear I've been hearing "reset my patient files" lmfao
Ehre
First time I have listened to Sleep Token and I must say what an absolute fantastic band!!
Maybe the best Sleep Token song yet? Hard to say among so many 11/10 songs, but this song is fucking incredible. One of the best outros of any song ever
They released six songs and on practically every one of them people were like "how is the rest going to fare if they are releasing all the bangers ahead of time"
Then we get songs like ascensionism, apparition, rain, and tmbte? They have no business being even better.
These guys are geniuses their songs are complete perfection beautiful band
@thetruextremeicon legit, this was already album of the year for me the moment they dropped the singles. Actually hearing the phenomenal perfection that it ended up being just makes me so happy
“No amount of self sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence” holy god that line alone!
🥹🥹
I be scrolling comments as the song plays and it was that part of the song as I read your comment. That’s like the 1000th time that happening to me lol
I feel strangely... at peace? What a song.
Thank you . I survived a suicide attempt and before and after I still listen to your music when I’m feeling down. Helps me every day . Keep doing what you’re doing pls
You are absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your story. I hope you never have to go down that road again!! Have a blessed day!!!
@Wake_bake_repeatTHANKYOU very much !
@Ellie_elfcan I ask you why you attempted doing that?
@Ellie_elfhow’s things going? How’s life been?
I would feel so disappointed if the rest of the songs don’t get their own visualizers because this entire album is a MASTERPIECE.
It is incredible, there is not a single track that disappoints
There is a hoodie on their website that has 12 different models that all say the names of the songs next to them (its in their coded language seen on the album cover.) and it has all the current ones we've seen so far, so They at least have the artwork for every single "Character"
I agree. However, Ascensionism pissed me off. You start off a song with this incredibly beautiful ballad. Here I am like, “Oh my God could this be better than ‘Atlantic?’” Then the song switches up to R&B and I’m like “What the fuuuuck?!?!” I felt like doing a Shawshank redemption style dramatic effect while down on my knees, arms out screaming “Nooooooooooo!”
@CumonherMcGregor awful take. Ascensionism bangs
@stonedinvalhalla I never said I hated the song. I don’t hate the song. I like the song a lot. I just would’ve enjoyed it a fuck load better if they treated more like Atlantic. An absolute majestic, tear-jerking ballad ended in triumph with the rest of the band like you’re flying into the solar system.

My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
[Verse 3]
I guess it goes to show, does it not?
That we've no idea what we've got
Until we lose it (Until we lose it, until we lose it)
And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don't choose it (Choose it)
And I don't know what's got its teeth in me
But I'm about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence
[Chorus]
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
(When we were made)
(I know)
(It was no accident)
(You know my desire)
(We were tangled up like branches in a flood)
[Refrain]
I have traveled far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
I love how it's its own song but has references to other songs in the album.
@uaj_utube Right?! But it clearly references Chokehold and The Summoning, so I think they are a trilogy!
@uaj_utube From other albums too, at least I think so. "Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher" could reference Higher and "Bite through these wires", and "Grow back your sharpest teeth" could reference The Offering. Could be more but these are ones that seem the most plausible.
@mod_myst I may be reaching, but “perfect oceans, but no one told me not to breathe and now the weightlessness recedes” made me think of Atlantic
The piano break at about 4:30 also sounds a bit like Bloodsport but I'm not sure if that was intentional
Susan. You showed me this song and you literally saved my life. I still haven’t comprehended that you died 2 weeks after we met. I never got to say thank you.
I love you Susan.
Rest. In. PEACE ❤
Sp sorry for your loss
Holy shit. I'm so sorry for your loss.
my condolences. 🙏🏻🕯️🙏🏻
I'm so sorry for your loss. All the hugs, my friend.
Sorry for your loss
Those piano chords at the breakdown that starts at 3:18 hits!!
Absolute chills!!!
That's like a 8 minute spiritual trip but add alternative metal, r&b and trap beats
You should try Igorrr
If this song amazed you in any sense, you haven't listened to much.
It's a deftones ripoff mixed with a vaguely r&b midsection, and ends with a Loathe rip off heavy section. 3 genres, 2 of which are already cousins.
@phahq been listening to more than enough, thank you very much
@DamienTheCat so new music is only good if they invent a new genre that defines their sound? if you would call any music inspired by deftones a "ripoff" you would have to cancel half of the scene lol just the fact that they managed to make a 3 section song mixing all of that and still sound as good as that is already creative enough and other bands will definitely take notes for future projects just like what happened after bmth in 2013 and architects in 2016
This deserves a Grammy Performance.
Absolutely yes... That would be so incredible.
Doubt it will happen. But I agree. Grammys suck.
Have you watched the Grammys in the last 10 years?
It will get more views here and on TikTok 🤩
Unfortunately its not a 2 minute song lmao
I feel sorry for people who can't experience every note of any Sleep Token's songs. I'm truly blessed❤
New worshipper here. I found Sleep Token just before St Patrick's Day and I haven't been able to stop listening to them. Vessel is one of the best singers I've ever heard.
Enjoy!
Welcome worshipper! You are in for a treat with all their music, vessel is a siren with his talent
Worship
I just found them too on TikTok!! I literally cannot stop at this point 😂😂
@oliviasheffield1750 What's ya favourite so far?
Wow. Didn't realize these guys were so intense and poetic. My daughter got me into them.
I don’t think there will ever be a group that could knock Sleep Token off of my first place pedestal. Truly masters of their craft. Worship🙏🏻
Same ❤
So i just became a sleep token fan and im absolutely loving all their music but i have to say this song is my favorite
My favourite from the album. Glad they made it actually sound so nature-like
I honestly didn't think they'd top the summoning but they managed it.
The layers of build ups is absolutely incredible. The last minute of this song was an amazing powerful surprise.
Yes! The dynamics throughout this song and the way it builds up to that jarring bomb drop of a breakdown at the end is impeccable and that breakdown hits all the harder for it, along with with that tormented distorted screaming. Just magnificent. Haters won't grok and that's fine by me.
Rain, Ascensionism, The Apparition, TMBTE 🫶
Certified bangers. The absolute best album, I'm so grateful for Sleep Token. Worship 🙏
The first beginning of this song with the birds reminds me of waking up way back when my childhood was still around
...I feel honored to have been a part of this journey.
worship.
Worship
The way the double kick drums punch through the mix as he screams BACK at 7:27 is incredible
The MID breakdown is incredible?? Stop it. I'm guessing the beginning is trash to u
This is one of the most creative, well put together, huge, massive, catchy, sexy, deep, heavy, not heavy, genre bending, mold breaking, non gate keeping , gut wrenching, 3 point draining, masterfully crafted albums I’ve ever heard. No one is topping this. Sorry baht it. Worship.
Jesus, it's not *THAT* great lol.. I swear everyone acts like this band is a cult
@hhaste Uhhh, it is "THAT" great.
I'm convinced I listened to a different album than these "worshipers," lol. It's mid at best.
Ok Karen 🤡
@DizzyMan24 I can see saying it isn't something to be worshipped, but saying it is mid...I find that interesting that you can't hear the brilliance. What music do you put on a pedestal out of curiosity? You have to have a reference point.
Does anybody else love the first part of the song like the sound of the birds? It’s beautiful bro it’s beautiful.
I love how the chorus gets more intense each time vessel sings it.
The instruments
The vocals
The lyrics
The whole song is perfection
Tokn reference
And different. Like the 2nd chorus sounds like something I would hear in a hip hop song, like Drake or something.
It's absolutely insane
I’m new to sleep token and I’ll say, just like every new fan I’m sure; i am in complete awe. For so long i had a “itch” that hasn’t been scratched with a bands and music today ,and Sleep token hasn’t just itched it but taken it to new heights. Amazing.
Worship.
This itch got scratched by leprous - pitfalls a few years back for me. Glad to find these guys
Welcome!
Worship
For soOoo long I have waited
There is a reason for that, the style of music they use is meant to invoke strong emotions.
What genre can these guys not do?
0:00 - 2:31 Ballad
2:32 - 3:19 Dad rock
3:20 - 3:53 Rap
Chorus
4:27 - 4:57 *A quick break for meditation*
4:58 - 6:04 Folk
6:05 - 6:12 * A quick break to dry your tears*
Chorus
7:17 - 8:20 Metalcore with a thunderous breakdown
Did I miss anything?
What a masterpiece of a song!
I absolutely love the way you put the musical content of this song!!
Love this, i think represents this song perfectly
it would be post-metal/progressive metal - they are appropriate genre
Yes, you missed come metal :)
@Kelliegurl67 I may need some help with that one. What exactly is come metal?
Found this band 10 minutes ago
This is so cool
Take Me Back to Eden by Sleep Token and The Death of Peace of Mind by Bad Omens are the best albums to have come out recently!
Fucking facts. Hands down
You forgot cattle decapitation and their new album terrasite
ABSOLUTELY TRUE Maťka!
@masonspencer9164can't forget Paleface Swiss, either. "Best Before: Death" and "Please End Me" Are absolute face melters.
meanwhile LOATHE creating literally a magnum opus.
Take Me Back To Eden
Song by Sleep Token
I dream in phosphorescence
Bleed through spaces
See you drifting past the fog
But no one told you where to go
We dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans
But no one told me not to breathe
And now the weightlessness recedes
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
I will travel far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden, take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
Well yeah, I spit blood when I wake up
Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and makeup
Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up
Room feels like a meat freezer, I dangle in it like cold cuts
Missed calls, answered phones from people I just don't trust
Mirror talk, fake love
But I'll take a pound of your flesh
Before you take a piece of my paystub
White roses, black doves, Godmother, rise up
I need you to see me for what I have become
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
I guess it goes to show, does it not?
That we've no idea what we've got until we lose it
And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don't choose it
And I don't know what's got its teeth in me
But I'm about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence
My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
I have traveled far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden

"No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence"
Insane lyrics
Luke 10:18. I saw Lucifer fall from heaven like lightening..
Where he fell caused chaos until Elohim created Eden: order out of chaos.
It's about addiction.
I'll cook: 👨🏻🍳
Eden represents innocence in two ways. One: when he had self control, and control over his life, before the addiction(s). Two: the innocence of trying these vices for the first time. Every relapse is like a fragmented memory of that first time. The sad reality of the feeling of euphoria reducing at the same rate your life is consumed and deteriorated with each dose/experience.
The first verse seems to describe such innocent first encounters: a more direct read suggests drugs, but it could be fame, sex or even financial success. It uses words like dream, drifting, fog, spaces, waters, oceans, weightlessness... even the word phosphorescence reminds me of psychedelics. It ends that verse with "But no one told me not to breathe" perhaps indicating he felt like he was not aware of the negative consequences to indulging in these activities and feels like he was deceived to a degree. Like he should have dipped a toe and been more careful, but the enjoyment of crystal waters and perfect oceans blinded him to this reality. "and now the weightlessness recedes" seems like a reference to a come down, especially compared to the previous line "no one told me not to breathe", indicating some regret.
🍲
Then Chorus: "my my those eyes...." first describes the allure of drugs, partying, the fast life. He flies to that which destroys him strictly because of its undeniable appeal. He's clean right now (off drugs, or dating apps, w/e) but it's killing him and he feels himself giving in... He knows this is wrong but he's restless sober. Maybe the withdrawals are too much. "grow back your sharpest teeth you know my desire." He feels like he can't escape his desire to relapse so he plans to dive in hard... again.
Then Refrain: Notice here he uses future tense "I will travel". I read this as him implying he'll do anything to fix his situation.. at this point he is broken, but hopeful.
🥘
The rapped bit has some fun wordplay but seems like a blunt metaphor for the Sunday scaries. He's hungover. He's now paranoid that the people around him don't care about him. "mirror talk, fake love, but I'll take a pound of your flesh before you take a piece of my paystub" In this paranoid hungover state he sees people attempting to support him as a threat. In his view they are trying to ride his coat tails and stay close to him for their own financial benefit. Maybe because they tour a lot the people he spends his time with are mostly business acquaintances that he perceives as fake friends, only interested in supporting him because they want a piece of his success. A nasty selfish state of being... often associated with withdrawal and hangovers.
After that shitty day why not just relapse for some comfort, he needs it you see. Chorus.
The piano interlude section with the clean vocals doesn't fit my template as obviously or straightforward as the rest, but, I'll keep the sauté going: 🫕
What he lost was essentially himself.
He feels like his success and these addictions have fundamentally changed who he is.
"and no amount of love will keep it around if we don't chose it" despite his popularity and the love he's shone by fans etc. he feel like he was consumed by his lifestyle. In his view he chose to be this person he thought he needed to be to "make it" and that led him down this dark path... had he chosen to stay true to himself and not compromise his "innocence", maybe he'd be less popular, but he'd still be him.
The next line expresses the feeling of not understanding how this has happened to him and the undirected rage bubbling up to the surface. He's grasping for something to blame.
Then with the last two lines of this section "no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" he realizes his feelings are utterly useless. Whether his anger is justified or not, nothing can repair the damage that has been done. . .
So why not just relapse right back into the fire. Chorus.
Last refrain "I have traveled far beyond the path of reason, take me back to Eden, take me back to Eden."
Past tense... Hope lost. He's gone as far as he can conceive of to return to himself and his innocence but is now giving up. Eden now, rather than actual innocence, represents chasing the dragon only. He now succumbs to pursuing what fading solace his addictions can provide. A bitter, bitter end. 🍾🥂
Sweet dreams!
If anyone read this, I am impressed and flattered.
Im listening for the first time.... be jealous.
Same... but I'll be jealous you heard it first 🤣
I’m listening for the first time too. 🖤
I remember my first time hearing this song I was like damn
I'm probably over a few hundred times lol
I listen to several songs from this album several times a day . Be jealous
People poke fun at the “room feels like a meat freezer, I dangle in it like cold cuts” line but honestly it’s a fantastically clever and vivid line. Essentially to me it describes feeling like a piece of dead meat after a major traumatic event. (Two days since the main frame went down) and that’s a very haunting and chilling description.
Sleep Token has sublime lyrics in general. Vessel is an intelligent operator
For the first time in decades, another album has silenced all my demons and quieted my anxiety and depression. My soul truly felt this album.
I'm very happy for you, and I hope you continue along that path.
❤🫂
really, how so?
Your soul has found the path to edin
❤
My daughter just recently introduced Sleep Token to me.
I find myself at a complete loss of words to describe the incredible journey filled with every emotion possible. This whole album is pure Perfection.
Same, my brother got me into them. They're badass then a mf.
That your daughter brought you to them is so cool.
some random guy on Instagram told me about them and I'm so glad he did cause wow I love this band
Your daughter is a smart cookie
You better be proud
Not sure about anyone else, but these guys music transports me to another world. It's truly hypnotic.
Your music affects me on a molecular level. Between your voice, the lyrics, the music that has its own identity, I lose myself in your world. There is the me before you and the me since you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being such brilliant artists and sharing your talent with me, with us.
"Take me back to Eden" is what i scream every fucking day of my life , in my head and heart.
Big thank you, Sleep Token.
don't put the clean on
well there is only one way back and His name is Jesus
I don’t think sleep token will ever let me down. Definitely want to see them live
You absolutely *need* to see them live.
I just hope they come to New Zealand one day!
I’ve seen them Live, twice now.
Vessel’s vocals are exactly like this.
Oct. 8 Sacramento Aftershock Festival.🙏
I want to... But it's annoying to have a million phone screens in your face.
I lost my dad to cancer one month ago and while I stayed in the hospital over the last month of his life this song was my comfort. When I listen to it now I feel like I am still with him in that hospital. Thank you for the comfort.
You have people on this rock you'll never meet that stand by you. Keep life going and giving.
RIP 🙏
Wow so heart breaking. So so sorry for your loss. I lost both my parents to cancer. So so sad.
So sorry for your loss 😢
Who else is listening to the master piece in APRIL!!!🎉🎉
My very best friend passed away in his sleep recently. I dedicated this song to him during his service. RIP
RIP, beautiful tribute🙏🏻
Sorry for your loss 🙏
Ara'mon, let him be guided to his desired heaven.
So sorry man
@kennethcolby6960 Thank you!
Been here since 'Jaws'. For lot of us Sleep Token has pulled us through a deeply personal and incredibly artistic journey. It almost seems like these past years of their music has built up to this moment. They really blew up with this new music. I couldn't be happier for the band and anyone who comes across this masterfully crafted work. Worship
@JayM-wg7dd Good
He’s just stating his back story, you act like he’s saying he’s automatically better than the new listeners. Just hating for no reason.
Holy crap its like wine gets better every time i listen
Sleep Token is beyond talented for people to even realize
I have a very bad attention span but I will absolutely listen to this 8 minute song. It’s literally a masterpiece
