Anima - A Sleep Token Theory.

[@scfsommer1]

Finally someone who sees sleep token as I do. I believe it's all about ourselves and our fight within.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

100% I see all art as expressions of the unconscious, often asking us to develop those parts.

[@ahbyahdmohammed7694]

Beautifully put. ​@@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement

[@Petak232]

​​@@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement Ever since my integration event, I realized that our creative geniuses shed deep light on the unconscious, and that there is a reason certain stories pull us in. For me, the way Hans Zimmer writes music, or the themes in Chritopher Nolans movies, games like Dark Souls, character development in The Last Airbender, and a band like Sleep Token have been like Sleep watching and guiding me.

[@Rose_in_Eden]

Same thought as a licensed psychologist. Vess is talking about the Dark parts of ourselves

[@Thilosophocl3s]

This is totally all about shadow. Concsiously personifying my unconscious has been a helpful exercise.

[@OscarBenben]

dang... such a great high IQ video explanation with clear terminology for everyone to understand. Just hoping that most of people will wanna dive deep without having their quick attention shifted, as the Society trend to become more and more, nowadays. Good job mate, keep up

[@l001988]

This has brought on a completely different meaning to what I've been singing along with for the last 2 months non stop! Preaching. Worshipping. This is amazing! Thank you

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Appreciate your kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Chasingmoundbuilders]

Right? I made this connection after finishing the red book for the second time and having been obsessed with this band for a very long time. And I searched the internet for 2 minutes and this brilliant gent starts telling the same story I was living. I’m crying watching this.

[@LitithsClaptrap]

Vessel definitely has a gift for showing how deep and vulnerable he truly is, but somehow making it so accessable to everyone. This band deserves every accolade they receive and then some.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

100% agree. It's amazing what happens when the unconscious is explored courageously & not left by the wayside to manifest a "destiny" for us..

[@arimewillow4278]

Last year, my friend and I sat down and discussed how this music touched me and others and the imagery and at one point she looked at me and said wait, this is very Jungian. Have you seen Carl Jungs redbook? I said no. I have been down a spiritual/ musical rabbit hole and im so happy you have the space to make videos about it. I think fall for me allowed me to project my need for someone else to be there for me. I desperately needed to feel not alone. I've desperately needed a community and some kind of enjoyment in life. This has been a strange journey. Im glad others are in it too. CS Lewis said "I sat with my anger long enough until she told me her real name was grief." Shadow work has absolutely changed my life.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

It’s amazing how much art can affect us. This whole journey from awakening to this concept, to story boarding, leaving breadcrumbs on TikTok and here, creating and editing the video has been a wild experience for me. So much synchronicity. The cool thing is I know, I can feel that it’s just the beginning of something wonderful!

[@AvelinaDeMoray]

Amazingly articulated. I couldn’t have said it better myself. Well done 🎉

[@thatHRBNGRsound]

I think that deep down I really wanted the “meaning” to be about a relationship with another person, not with myself. This interpretation hits WAY harder and makes me really want to do some serious reflection and true work on myself. Thank you so much. Brilliant work!

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you so much for your comment & your vulnerability in sharing. The humility that comes from acceptance right before venturing into the unconscious is a powerful moment of clarity. It’s like taking a final breath of air as you’ve been treading water in rough seas & accepting your fate that “what you seek the most is where you least want to look” and that place will always be in the shadow, the unconscious. You’ve got this but remember you don’t have to do it alone. What resources do you need to be successful in ALL you strive towards?

[@bonniebennett6866]

I agree. But at is subjective it can mean whatever you want it to. I still think about relationships with others when I listen to this, but clearly it's all about Vessel's resolve within himself, right?

[@wren4077]

When I heard "DYWTYLM" I knew it was really about loving ourselves

[@saradapagediocletian9707]

It is about another person. And it's about oneself. And it's about a god. It's art so it's about whatever you feel it is about.

[@cheyannmoore370]

I am so glad I found this video. Thank you for putting words to my thoughts. I have never been swept away by a band more than Sleep Token has done to me. I just vibe with them on a deeper level and higher frequency. 🖤

[@MariesESL]

Also, your final speech in this video was very genuine. I could feel that. There is something special about you. Keep spreading your knowledge and light. Thanks 🙏

[@MariesESL]

Hi 👋 As an English major and educator, I can say your thesis is spectacular. It is very convincing, which is a tell tale sign of an excellent thesis. Thank you for the research and passion you put into this video. I’ve been a Sleep Token fan for about a year now and I have also analyzed their lyrics so it was very enjoyable to watch a like-minded individual’s take on this deeply profound band.

[@free-fangs]

Can't help but come back to this half a year later. I suspect additional viewings as I continue to heal. Thank you, David.

[@FrakGaming]

Saw them for the first time the other night and found myself multiple times with my hands raised in the air singing and my eyes closed. It made me feel like I was a kid in sunday school again and felt like I was really worshiping the music. Their music invokes so much emotion from inside me it made me fall in love with the band. So talented and so beautiful.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Worship! I had the same experience when I saw them in Brisbane a few weeks ago. I’m still processing what actually went on.

[@monicaf4224]

Ok cause at sick new world, I kept finding my hands raised and crying. It just felt good. Healing .

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

We (humans) are spiritual beings having a physical experience. We evolved in small communities where our times around the fire, telling mystical (metaphorical) stories applied meaning and a self orienting north start for our mode of being. Without that, we live in a dead society & dying world. We need places to connect to ourselves and something divine. It’s sorely missed in this “modern” world.

[@CassieSchofield]

I’m sooo glad you say this because I have spent many of these songs blasting and realizing after my eyes open, tears rolling down, and I see arms raised… worshiping 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@nethermite]

I'm understanding so much more here, this really makes me wanna go down the rabbithole of jungs work. By the time you started analyzing the lyrics it felt like something big is dawning on me. The moment the music kicked in (roughly 31:10) gave me goosbumps

[@Petak232]

I wasn't sure if others saw the connections to Jungian shadow work. I am so happy that this community is here.

[@shaunpocalypse]

I'm currently struggling deeply with a lot of things for the Nth year in a row, and I've gotta tell you, this is one of the very few videos that I've decided to make a "Life Changing Videos" playlist out of. I've watched this video twice now, and honestly? I don't think this is just a theory. A SLEEP TOKEN THEORY. Nah mate. I think you've cracked it; you've cracked Sleep Token. I don't know, it's that inner knowing part of my spirit that tells me this is at least mostly correct, aside from the minor details you've missed - like the cockroach - or oversimplified, generalized. And it's like I always knew, in the back of my mind, even though I never had any elaborate understanding of any of Carl Jung's work. Genuinely, amazing work man. This video is a banger that I know will leave a huge impact on a lot of people, which a lot of people miss at first, because like me, they gloss over the thing they've a deep soulful interest in at first - due to changing tides, whatever it may be - until someone guides them to a better/different/more correct perception of it. Thank you so much for this.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

I don't have words to reply with but a complete and humble gratitude. Thank you.

[@yvettevanrooyen7000]

Appreciate the work you put into this, thank you. I will be listening to it more than once. ❤ I'm 60, still delving into the meaning of my life. Great work!

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Appreciate your kind words. It’s amazing how music knows no bounds, isn’t it?

[@paigerobnett4218]

i’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how to construct the thoughts in my head into words, and i’m struggling. this breakdown was everything i needed to clear up this frustration and sadness that i’ve been feeling about not being able to understand why im so intensely drawn to ST and their lyrics. i cried through parts of this video finally knowing why i connected so deeply with specific songs and vessels struggles. i always thought the dialogues in their songs referenced two separate beings, but having this perspective of both sides of the dialogue coming from one Self makes me feel something i can’t quite explain. i know i have so much work to do within myself now, and my journey starts now. i found sleep token a couple years ago, but within the last couple months i have become completely enthralled and consumed by their music after seeing them live. it was an otherworldly experience, completely magical. it’s all i’ve been able to think about since. this brought me so much peace and has made me LOVE sleep token even more. i have a much deeper appreciation for vessels storytelling and lyricism after this video. thank you so much for this, truly. i have been stuck in a cycle of distraction and i believe im finally breaking the habit. i want to reach wholeness and unity within myself, i think its what i’ve been searching for all this time. again, thank you for this. i know now that i have so much work to do 🖤

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you for your vulnerabilitiy & sharing these powerful words. I hope you continue to integrate the lessons and become ALL you could become!

[@margueritepfaff1543]

As someone who found Sleep Token through TikTok, all of the different opinions and ideas of what Vessel is saying in his lyrics were taken into consideration. Sex, pain, love, trust, distrust, hurt, rage, fear, so many emotions and unknowns that collided in a mystery known as Sleep Token. The discovery of self, the focus on that inner darkness, to connect with the unknowns of the universe, blends so seamlessly to show another view of the lyrics. I love psychology, I love looking inward, I also fear what I find because “why” is sometimes just pain and fear and sadness. I’ve heard people call Sleep Token a cult. Maybe it is, maybe it is a cult of self discovery and self actualization and understanding through music. Art is its own language with many interpretations. I’ll sign up for this cult if it means I can shine a light on the darkest parts of myself and welcome them into existence. Thank you for this

[@stevenmayorga2197]

You Sir have opened a whole new chapter to this beautiful ride and transformation. Incredible work..thank-you, and I believe She is happy and grateful as well

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you so much Steven. Adding another powerful lens to why this art moves us so much makes me appreciate them so much more. The time they put into their craft, musicianship, lyrics, aesthetics from my perspective is 100% intentional for a much higher purpose. But that is how I choose to look at life. I believe there is a divine coherence that everyone can connect to that provides meaning, purpose and interconnection between all things.

[@MDKtarot]

I came back to this video today, Sleeptoken aside, you did an outstanding job communicating this in a way that makes total sense. Thanks. It would be so cool to see you do a reaction video to each song listening to it and explaining what you felt in each song in individual videos.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you so much! Looking forward to breaking down the emotions & concepts in Sleep Token & other bands. Would love some some recommendations.

[@fronkmark1]

Thank you for this! I’ve literally been going through this video for days as I stop and listen to the songs you speak about and I pull out a dream dictionary. Getting so much out of each song it’s brilliant.

[@alisonnightingale7226]

I am soooo excited to watch this and have been waiting for you to do this!! Sleep Token music has had a weird, unexpected, transformative impact on me and over the last year I’ve become the real me and had the courage to express who I am inside. It’s actually been a really rocky ride but coming out of it has been amazing.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

I am well versed in this rocky ride. If you need support, reach out. You're never alone.

[@_tialipovsek]

This was so good!!! Thank you tik tok for bringing me here. I thought about it too, that all the songs are about a relationship between a man and a woman, but your explanations sit so much more with me. I LOVE THIS!!! Leaving me aware, that there is so much inner work to still be done, and probably will never really be finished. Scared me at first to think about it that way, but now, it gives me more and more power, to do the work daily, and to be a better person, for myself and my family, even tho they may never change themselves, I will die at peace knowing I did my best on my part.

[@bonniebennett6866]

You'll continue to grow in future lives. You'll get there. That's what I believe. We'll all get there. In love.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you so much. The greatest relationship we will ever have, is the one with ourselves. From that comes every other relationship. I love that the inner work will never be done. It reminds me of a passage from Tao Te Ching, “In pursuit of knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the Tao, every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things, until finally you arrive at non-action. When nothing is done, nothing is left undone. True mastery can be gained by letting things go their own way. It can’t be gained by interfering.” I believe it is about finding “the way” or “the tao” in everything as to leave nothing undone. It IS the way.

Great to have you here along on this amazing journey we call life. What an absolute gift we have bestowed upon us to live, play, explore and experience this all!

[@jennifermcclain7957]

This is great! I knew they were telling a story of becoming one or whole and portraying it for all to see, but could never put it into words like you did. I knew every lyric and symbol meant something. When I tell you I cried through this whole video…. Vore is my favorite. I think its placement is there because, even though we’ve accepted it, we have to return to do shadow work and sometimes it’s inconvenient and can be maddening. I feel something huge coming from Sleep Token. I really appreciate the time you’ve put into this!

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you so much. This was a labour of love & almost 50 hours went into it. It’s amazing at the unconscious signs, symbols and metaphors that are going on inside their art. It’s gorgeous.

This is beautifully done. I’m so glad you were able to put into words what I see Sleep Token as. 🖤

Madness how this hasn’t got more views! This just helps put sleep tokens message into perspective and how it helps us bring out the best in ourselves in you surrender and accept your inner self and truths. I don’t know much about Carl jung but I’m going to know, thank you R.Y.S.E.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Amazing, thank you so much. Their art speaks to us from the collective unconscious, sparking ideas and concepts for us to play out in our own psycho-spiritual alchemy.

[@SkullSnatcher99]

This is crazy; I discovered and started listening to ST right around the same time I bought and worked through a Shadow Journal that was based on Jung’s ideas while seeking professional help through therapy. I made such progress in working on my trauma and depression while ST slowly but surely became my favorite band to listen to. I went to see ST live last week in Asheville and the experience was other worldly and very emotional; almost like it unlocked emotional responses to music and just in general I never had before. Having these interests and experiences connect together in this way makes SO MUCH SENSE and definitely makes me love their music even more. It also makes me realize why my creativity has been stuck; I still have more inner work to do. Thank you for this amazing breakdown and connection 🖤

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Love that last sentence for you! There is always more inner work to be done. Even when you think you're done with a hero's journey cycle ending; it's time to integrate it into who you are intentionally BEcoming.

[@NyxYVase]

I've been wrapping my head and body around the story of Sleep Token (vessel sleep 2,3 and 4) and it's all been a bit consuming of my thoughts and patterns in my day-to-day, But this video explanation of Sleep Token has cleared my mind and body of the overwhelming weight of not truly being able to understand there story. I wanna thank you so much for making this video and the amazing quality it is. Thank you.

Thank you & keep going with your journey! Remembering, it's not a sprint.

[@IamDishana]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting it into words! I've been telling people about this, though in a more spiritual/gnostic perspective. And I think I was missing some grounding elements, which Jung provides beautifully! I'm obsessed! I can't put all I've been through in my own journey into words. Talking about it seems to be asking people to have faith in things that I wouldn't have believed before I experienced it. So I held back in many, many occasions, because "how would I explain?" But, yeah, we're all talking about the same thing, and I found the language that I was missing. Thank you

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Appreciate you for your comment and your words. It's so hard to language things with such a limited vocabulary inside the English framework. The art is pointing to a much more mystical/ intangible experience. How do you frame the unframeable? It is, what it is.... godly.. divine.. monumental.. and even those words feel hollow compared to what it truly is.

[@ivermcten8396]

I am SO happy to have found this! 🙏 This has been my theory ever since i started listening to them. It seems like no one gets it and thinks its just well written love songs 😅 Seriously, thank you!!

I definitely want to look into shadow work since I struggle with a handful of things that i could never shake and some new, one being possible austistic traits (I've always been the weird/overthinking/hyper focused type) but thank you so much for putting this out. Its shined a different light on the band and myself. - From a brother across the ditch

[@michaelbarrsmusic]

Dave, I loved your video. I have long been a fan of Carl Jung. When I read this paragraph recently by him, this is what Sleep Token is....."Not for a moment dare we succumb to the illusion that an archetype can be finally explained and disposed of. Even the best attempts at explanation are only more or less successful translations into another metaphorical language. .. The most we can do is dream the myth onwards and give it a modern dress." - Carl Jung

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you so much for your comment Michael. That quote is bang on the money isn’t it?!

Wow! Explains so much about why I've clicked with sleep token so much lately!! This whole video opened my eyes to things I've already thought I've had figured out , but only just beginning!

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

It was no accident. You know my desire.😉 I think this was a somewhat conscious but mainly unconscious motive to creating this film. To help show the complexity from the band & Jungs concepts showing that everyone connecting to their art needs to dive in deeper and start integrating towards wholeness and unification.

[@fafnixx]

58:33 My answer to this question is "nothing". Im watching this, cause I dont want to dissociate from anything anymore, to find a path for myself, to reflect on my most inner desires. SleepToken and the interpretations I developed myself and watched/read from other people on their album trilogy is a main part of doing this. Im starting to fo get into the works and concepts of some philosophers to find some answers for my questions on views of the world, but actually I found that Carl Jungs depiction of the human soul separating them into masculine and feminine parts would be a bit outdated. But it seems like you can interpret this concept in a newer way that fits more in todays society and values (just like with many other philosophies). So to get a new point of view on this through Sleep Token and your video was very refreshing and just a new experience in general. So thank you for that, I appreciate it. (Sorry for potentially bad english)

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

I haven’t yet finished watching this, but I just wanted to take a moment and thank you or making this. So intelligent, thoughtful, and well organized. I feel like you are speaking so directly to me.

[@deo.strengthspan.project]

@@TheR.Y.S.E.MovementJust finished the video. So much thanks and gratitude to you for making this work and sharing it. So powerful and helpful. I felt Sleep Token’s music strike me powerfully, but for a good while I couldn’t pinpoint why, other than this vague sense that the art was calling and reaching for something beyond, something abstract, esoteric, and beautiful. I had a psychedelic experience that caused DYWTYLM to bring me to tears and have a revelation that helped provide another powerful spark in my journey toward self actualization. I encountered Jungian ideas in music first through Tool, but I was too young at the time to understand, the ideas were attractive but ultimately opaque to me. So I’m happy to meet Jung’s ideas again through music at a time in my life that I feel I can take action. Thank you again. Keep on inspiring! 🙏🏼❤️🔥

One of the reasons I love Sleep Token is the lore. How the mind of someone elaborate and make a concept out of something. How the mind of the artist is so vast, powerful and complex and how they can create something so amazing is just astonishing for me I admire the work of anyone that can create something out of one or many concepts and in this case Sleep Token has it all. The lore, the concept behind the lore. The sounds, the lyrics and the concept behind the lyrics. How thankful the seems to be with their fans is just simply amazing

9:45 that's not what the ego is, it's not the conscious captain of the ship, it's the unconscious captain of the ship. or it's the direct accumulation of experience up until that point. or the egoic mind, it's an identification with an energy field which feeds off fear and requires time to exist. the ego can be dissolved by being in the present moment, a timeless reality.

This was amazing! Thank you! I went through this “dark night” in 2013/2014. I’m blessed to be on the other side. It makes so much more sense why Sleep Token feels like a stab and a hug at the same time. Putting words and music to that time. My god! Just amazing.

@@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement Horrible, abusive marriage here. Totally understand. I think the video somehow validated my experience not only as real, but is also somewhat universal. That time I really was drawn to dark and unexplored parts of myself. From the music I was consuming, the books I was reading, the videos I was watching. It opened up something in me that needed healing. While at the time it was soul crushing, I am so grateful of the person I've become because of it. And the parent I am now. I am on the other side. That has to be why ST resonates with me and why your videos give me such "ah ha" moments! Thank you!!

I apologize for the long comment. But great job man, you killed it. I would like to contribute a few of my interpretations. I don't know if I agree with the interpretation of the trans experience but it's possible I misinterpreted. To me the transition is the taking off of the mask and integrating despite social reprisal. White chrysanthemums (if I got that flower correct) can represent mourning and grief, and white roses can mean innocence and purity. My interpretation of it is that he mourns the corruption (cockroach) of a relationship that started innocently and became something toxic or rotten.

Thanks for all your hard work on this video, it is enlightening and so good to hear your perspectives on Sleep Token's incredible art! 29:16 I just wanted to share my thought on the topic of anima/ animus and trans people. The way I see it, everyone has their own version of the archetypes (and there are more archetypes than we can count) and therefore one's anima/animus is simply an unconscious and opposite reflection of the tapestry of masculine and feminine that live in the conscious self. So, integration of the two would still create a syzygy of masculine and feminine in consciousness, but the way the two are separated into conscious and unconscious before integration is unique to every individual. I don't think that, just because someone is gender non-conforming, it means they are struggling with anima/animus possession - the duality of opposites between their masculine and feminine might simply have a different boundary, and not all of the masculine and feminine traits fall on opposite sides of the coin. Just my thoughts!

[@abetterbegining1048]

This has truly made me think, I have felt a calling from there music ever since my first time hearing it and I couldn't place it. Not only has this video made me better understand Vessel and his music but it also caused me to retroactively look inward and realize for the last 2 years I've been on my own heros journey and I never realized how much I was starting to subconsciously find my true Self and how fortunate I've been to have my partner because situations in our relationship is what set me on the path and started my journey. I needed this video and my perspective is in a whole new place and I can't wait to continue forward.

[@starxcrossed]

Oh lord I have commented enough, but I think you’ve given me some closure on this music. I’ve had a lot of missing pieces and you already collected them all and put them together. Thank you so much ❤

[@starxcrossed]

I just really want to add that there is another KZbinr who has connected the Anima with the right brain hemisphere. The silent personality inside of you that gives you inspiration and can only communicate with your conscious self in dreams and visions. We are all actually and literally two people/personalities. I don’t know if you’ve researched the hemisphere topic but I find it extremely fascinating that this would be vessels anima from where he accesses this creativity. The same KZbinr called our brains “magic jelly” and I’m using that term forever now. I believe if there is anything beyond the physical, then the right brain is the only part with access to it.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Is that Uberboyo that you speak of connecting the right hemisphere to the feminine/ anima? He does brilliant work!

[@emscense4427]

I’m really connecting with this theory! I’m a huge Jungian fan and also Sleep token. Thank you for sharing! I have had a theory for years of Tools discography and the order in which they were released, relating to the journey through the chakras and higher realms.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Thank you! The Tool theories was one of my first deep dives into Carl Jung back in 2019 when their latest album released. Been hooked on Jung ever since.

[@thomhayden]

Imagery of the cockroach. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet, but Carl Jung started exploring synchronicity when he was doing some dream analysis with a woman in Switzerland who described a golden scarab, when one suddenly appeared on the window. This was a profound experience for Jung who believed it indicated synchronicity. As such I think it probably symbolises synchronicity in the song in some way.

[@Sharkeybtm]

Just gonna chime in my interpretation for Alkaline: “Acid nor alkaline” So water, true neutral, and again with the water theme in an album about drowning. He’s drowning in her neutrality. “Caught between day and night” Twilight. Another middle point that happens twice a day. The transition between union and separation. “Caught between black and white” Grey, another neutral. Light and dark. Given the songs name is “Alkaline” (or base in chemistry terms), mixed with the recurring theme of opposites making neutrals, when you add in the first two lines “Every once in a while something changes; and she’s changing me”. The song is about diluting yourself to match your love/obsession while never being able to become exactly like them

[@booksnstuff1563]

Wiping tears from my eyes writing this.... only discovered this incredible band this week! Your breakdown of their work had me laying my hands on my chest to soothe my soul as it was being seen and heard. I have PTSD from being a police officer and working in the child abuse unit, interviewing the children and historical abuse of adults. As this work was very traumatising I kept it a secret for 20 years. Not telling anyone about the traumas I experienced. They turned into my shadow self, coming out in self loathing behaviours. It’s only now after seeing a therapist that the shadow has shown ‘himself’. I always thought he was sabotaging my happiness by creeping in intrusive thoughts, terrifying images. But after doing some Journalling exploring who this shadow was and what they wanted from me was life changing. As the song Ascension describes, he is there as my friend...all along...helping me find the path to my mental freedom. I resonate with Vessel and the torture of the shadow. It’s tormenting ways. Silent and loud together! This is a long post, but I truly hope those that hold trauma ‘inside’ will only destroy you....slowly. May Sleep Token be therapy for you all. Thank you for reading and know you are not alone and there is light.....so much light xxx

When I started connecting it to Jung I thought I was on to something. I found your video and it made me feel really good. Crying. Shaken. Thank you!

[@chantellehoskins7506]

Thank you for this, when I first started listening to Sleep Token, there is something that is familiar in the lyrics, knowing that this is a journey through the unconscious, there is dark and light, there is the grief one experience when they shed that old self and break away from past hurt, the pull to what is familiar while venturing into that unknown. Discovering Self is a hard journey to go through

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

Encapsulated perfectly. Gorgeous comment. The journey of self discovery is a winding process of wrong turns, pain, confrontation and ultimately unity, wholeness and deep transformational purpose. I believe it is one of the many purposes for existing at all.

[@ahbyahdmohammed7694]

Wow. What a lovely and insightful video. Finally got someone to be throughly articulate and explain such concepts and resonate what I felt throughout my journey with Carl jung and sleep token.

[@UnseelieFaelass]

I'll share more upon the video's end, but for now I'll take a guess at the cockroach symbolism here. Couple of things worth noting with that. Firstly, it could be an interpretation of possession feeling like a lingering infestation that you thought was dealt with, but in reality the root of the issue is still present, cus you haven't found it yet. So naturally it's gonna crop up again. Note how dingy the room the women reside in looks too, the deeply neglected and let go state it's in. That to me says there's a glaringly obvious problem that isn't being addressed, and the lyrics only imply that things are only about to worsen in hindsight. Secondly, cockroaches are said to be able to survive nuclear fallout and the initial blast of a bomb. This could mean that Vessel is a survivor of sorts, or perhaps that he's in survival mode in this relationship with Sleep. There is a gun present all throughout the video, and by the end it does see a usage. Finally, the specific cockroaches used are one of two species(specifically Dubias) commonly used as 'feeders' for various arachnids like tarantulas or scorpions. Which is interesting, considering all the discussion of jaws, teeth, biting, flesh, etc. And I say that, because tarantulas and their close cousins spiders, among the several symbolic meanings they have in dreams, can represent a negative/toxic female relationship in your life. Maybe that last part is stretching a bit, maybe it isn't, but I present it anyway. As for me personally, for now just know you have the perspective of a witch who's recently dove into shadow work as well alongside divination through tarot and/or Seiðr, and being a music witch(I know the spelling is wrong, but I don't have Nordic letters atm on pc...update: fixed it now.). My start having been in crystal magic, thanks to my Mother. Hmm, well I was gonna wait until the end, but now you've mentioned Like That, and I'm now realizing why my Shadow has been enjoying this one a lot lately. Note, my own relationship with mine isn't anything adversarial these days. If anything, its a mutual protective, empathetic bond/understanding. I'm wondering if my Shadow is concerned about something again. My temper is very much indictive of my sun sign, Aries, but it also has a rather frighteningly vindictive streak. That streak has often left me hating myself in the past, and admittedly, I still struggle with those feelings if it gets bad enough. Perhaps after a recent outburst my Shadow felt the need to check in/remind me of things. Course Like That and Descending have been contributing to my creative endeavors recently too, wonder if my work has gotten her curiosity. Course I say things like I wonder, and get an affirmative feeling in response. A witch's intuition everybody. Anyways, now to see what you've got to say about Descending, should it come up. Oh well, Are You Really Ok is bound to be mentioned at least, certainly excited to know about it more. That's become a favorite of mine and my Shadow's as well. Knew it, but yeah this one is intimate for me too. My Shadow and I went through all three albums a week ago actually(minus the EPs honestly didn't know about em), and the journey was honestly a lovely one. Are You Really Ok in particular, was a mutual declaration of empathy and pleading from and for us both. I've even used this song when performing Seiðr or reading tarot. Music has become spells for me these days, and Sleep Token's entire library feels more than made for it. Seeing your video thus far is all the more validation of my identity in witchcraft as a whole. Whether I go Solitary like usual for me, or tend to the coven I accidentally made in my friend group lol. Consider your question answered early btw lol. Beyond what I've stated though, I suppose my views of my general health, body type, and at least three familial relationships spring to mind as well. There's certainly days where I've verbally cursed out my body over the health I'm stuck with. Hyperthyroidism, Vaginismus, and Tourette's(wasn't diagnosed officially, but my Dad was early on and I've showcased symptoms as long as I can recall) specifically. Seriously the amount of random moments of bamboozlement it gives me just piss me off or simply confuse/annoy me. I often use humor to better manage those particular feelings, bit of the self deprecating sort. I've always had an acceptance of my Tourette's as being part of me, at worst I get annoyed these days. Anger at it only really happened when I was a teen. The Vaginismus has reached a similar level of acceptance, it only really gets under my skin when I have exams, not going into any further details for obvious reasons. As for my body type, which comes from my Hyperthyroidism actually, I didn't used to have issues with it. It was just normal when I was growing up, no one said anything, showed concern over my weight, until I was 21 and got my first exam(do not ask why it took so long for me to start those pls and thank you). Doc asked if I wanted a blood test, cus my bmi was so low, forget the exact numbers. Just know I was under 90lbs at the time. Anyways I agreed, and found out that I had Vaginismus through the exam and received the other diagnosis from the blood test a week later. This explained why I have an underdeveloped looking body type, why I'm an adult loli, a body type currently being demonized as being unrealistic or pedo bait. It's hard hearing that so often now, you have no idea how much I've come to despise those who say such things, even if I can understand why. Imma quit talking about this for now though, this has gotten quite long already, and my Shadow is growing angry alongside me. Better simmer down and get back to watching, Sleep Token is a mutual calm for use both after all. Ok nice and calm now, and I've reached the end. Not much else to add though, beyond that I and my Shadow are happy for this video. If you or anyone in your audience has some questions for me, feel free to ask away.

@@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement Sleep always struck me as the Lover/Prostitute in a way, the one Vessel sacrifices himself to every night in order to escape trauma. Of course it's not that easy, being consumed by Sleep can lead to nightmares and direct Shadow encounters. In a way Sleep is the most real thing, the most real god. Threading the Needle reminds me of the practice of keeping consciousness awake while the body sleeps as well. There's so much! :) I'm going to rewatch this a few times.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

I love that you acknoledge that Sleep is "the most real god", or at least the most real god Vessel has connection to at the moment. It's the understanding that our own soul, is that of the gods and understanding this draws a much closer connection towards that aetherial realm. Our soul/ anima/animus is that which ocupies that realm, so creating an integrated relationship with that part of our Self brings us much closer to the God/s.

I can't express what i want to say becuase I dont have the words to do so. Ive been watching this video for 3 days now and i can only get 15mins each time not due to lack of quality, but its because you will bring up a subject or an idea that I hate hearing because it resonates in a way I don't feel comfortable with. Its too accurate, "Who tf is this guy and what makes him able to 'talk' to me so I understand more than just words?". I'm also on the spectrum (high-functioning Asperger's) I've been dealing with conflicting feelings about what it means to me and how to improve my mental state with this variable at play. You made a mention in Calcutta "... without his love, missing that part of himself, the feminine animating energy for his creativity, his inspiration, his intuition" I met someone who brought that drive for those "feminine energies" and I was happy, I felt whole. I need to learn more about this so I can understand what is going on. I'm grateful that this new idea for me is being presented in my favorite band who I listen to for the "story" . Im sorry for the long rant of a comment but I needed to say the quiet part out loud for my sake. Thank you for this.

[@TheR.Y.S.E.Movement]

I appreciate the long comment because to me, that is you sorting out and making order of unconscious contents. Often, we require the space to hear (see) our thoughts/ concepts out to see if they build a more united & cohesive worldview. Once we have a spontaneous “linking” of unconscious contents it returns back to the Self and integrates into who we are. Fascinating stuff isn’t it?

I think there's some link there but my brain is too slow.

Great video. I too wondered about some of the sporadic fluctuations in song placement within the albums. I think this is indicative of what Jung called feeling-toned-complexes. In some sense, the ambivalent structure of the process of individuation, like the unconscious, is messy and chaotic, particularly with the affective influence which the Anima has on man. In this respect, to try and enforce semblance and order on the material is ultimately futile. As Jung said about the shadow "It cannot be argued out of existence or rationalized into harmlessness". What's also interesting is that the age of aquarius aligns with the age of the divine feminine, with which we are currently in, or approaching. We only have to look at current events to see the influence of this from the collective unconscious. Just my thoughts, thanks for sharing
