BRILLIANT WRITING!! Sleep Token - Ascensionism (Reaction) (HOH Series)

[@Jellycubist]

Yes, please do a Sleep Token marathon! You're really quick with your interpretations & analysis, and there's so much you could unpack in Sleep Token's discography. In their lyricism and in the composition of the music. It would be amazing to see you go through it all.

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

Agreed 💯😅

[@angelal5198]

Please

[@vintageladygoule4658]

Outdid the box brilliantly written layered produced and your reaction is the best ❤

[@zekethebassman]

“Digital demons make the NIGHT feel heavenly” (a little lyrical callback to the first song from Sundowning)

[@zekethebassman]

Don’t apologize for a long reaction. We’re here to listen to your thoughts as much as the song. I’ve watched dozens of reactions to this song already, but it’s fun to hear what each person interpreted differently.

[@timothy7190]

Best breakdown I've ever heard on a reaction video. Well done! Blood Token is a roller coaster and one of the best bands out there. Period.

[@FrankWarnerWords]

Fil, fantastic writing, descriptive and hard hitting. Love the musical tour de force. Great reaction, bro. #QcumberSquad #SleepToken - Fil, I'm off back to the study.

[@violacesario4389]

Really enjoyed your interpretation! I love how ST often use the actual music to convey the emotions of the lyrics.

[@peaches911]

Love your breakdowns of Sleep Token songs! Nothing compares to this band right now imo. Can't wait for more of your reactions to them!

[@MitchelPigsley]

Loved your breakdown of the song structure and lyrics. I've seen a lot of reactions to this song, and still, you've made me see something different. Can't wait to follow the Sleep Token marathon!

[@YTjunkette]

Sleep Token is their own genre. Vessel does what he wants and we're here for it. Interesting interpretation of the lyrics. I think they hit everyone a bit differently, depending on their own experiences etc. (You'll have plenty of people try to tell you what a line REALLY means, but it's still just *their* opinion and reading of it.) A marathon would be awesome!

[@NahIamgood]

I couldn't press faster! Cannot wait to watch you diving more in Sleep Token! Take me Back to Eden is the name of their 3rd album (last part of a trilogy) that was released last May and is the album that brought them more into the spotlight as they were a relatively small band at the beginning of last year and now they are selling out arenas in a matter of hours!

[@niswonger45]

Yes! More Sleep Token please. Worship 🙏🏼

[@IamSammy1]

This is great - very cool song...

[@IMPULSE0101]

Gotta see some of his live stuff, esp some of his raw stuff just him and the paino he cries in some songs his talent and passion are tops

[@JamOwnzU]

Your interpretation spoke to me on a whole other level so personally profound you couldn't possibly understand. Thank you.

[@juttaman25]

Eternal Ascension = wanting to leave this Earth to escape the pain and hurt. The track following is, I believe, Vessel looking back from the outside after contemplating or trying to take that step, asking himself ‘Are You Really Ok?’

[@nealclark3640]

Love it. Going to see sleep token at the O2 in London this year. 👍

[@erwanashee]

*GENRE:* cryptic rock. :)

[@Jamieannjellybean79]

My guilty pleasure is watching Aurora and Sleep Token reaction videos. I know, I know. Two very different genres but they are both my favorite. You being my favorite reaction channel makes this Heaven for me. Thank You ❤

[@andrewnestoras3927]

Great analysis. I get a lot of Deftones in some of their songs

[@tanasmom1969]

I love your reaction. Your analysis is so interesting. I really hope you do a deep dive into Sleep Token. They are my daughter's and my favorite band. They are really amazing. We are going to see them live in May and we can't wait. Their live videos leave me speechless so I know we are in for an epic experience. ❤

[@NikkiWright-STLVR23]

@tanasmom1969 😂 I swear we're living parallel lives...my daughter introduced me to ST and we are also seeing them in May in Tampa. I'm so excited to be seeing them. But yeah, I could have written your post myself 😂

[@tanasmom1969]

@@NikkiWright-STLVR23I don't know if you remember but we had almost this same conversation on another channel talking about Sleep Token tickets. LOL. I actually tried to give you my facebook info cause we have so much in common 😁we follow the same people so I see your comments all the time but it got deleted by the channel host. 😔

[@anthonydiprima9910]

Here for the sleep token marathon for sure

[@AlvinDema]

YEEESSS SLEEP TOKEN

[@nightcorerj6024]

Despite all of the lore behind Sleep Token's concept, I'm convinced Vessel is writing about narcissistic abuse! Vessel is an empath and whoever he was dealing with is a narcissist.

[@jesperschultz5568]

I am actually happy you are taking this approach. I have another. But I am sorry for taking up so much space in your comment section. :) I spent hours. Alot of hours, to try and dechiper everything. Why? - because Sleep Token, and I want to say Vessel himself, genuinely hit me with their, potential, marketing stunt. I, like everyone else, am speculating. But - after decoding every single lyric on all of their songs on every album. It IS possible to draw parallels from album to album. Song to song. With reference to facts, easily found, if you understand science and chemistry. I transcribed all songs to different tunings on guitar. I literally was SO woven into the story about what happened. Why is Vessel writing these painful lyrics, what happened to this love and hate relationship? How can he express himself like he does, and still make music, as very few can. And..for me, I put down my pen, and I simply just did, what Vessel is telling us to do, if you find the theory behind his lyrics. The factual theory. Which lead me to this conclusion: "If you want to stick out, you have to do something extraordinary" - and the worst mistake I did in my "worship" and genuine interest, BECAUSE I happen to also be a musician. I underestimated Vessel. Vessel and his band. Sleep Token and the machine behind them, that found the perfect way, to make a genius, stand out. Because. I truly believe that Vessel is an artist, in his purest form. His musical skills, ear for melody, song framework, supreme lyrical construction, is on another level. Now, when true artists tried to make a masterpiece, in the past, there were SO many things that had to align, to get the endresult they hoped for. And these "true artists", as I call them. Are misaligned creatures, who also needs to produce and promote their art at the exact right moment in time, or it may just end up dead. While recognized for his vulnerability and divine music, it would have been wise of me, to probably just recognize and admit that...."hes probably a really, fuggin smart guy!". The face behind the scarecrow, is probably not limited to, crying and being an atomic sing-a-songwriter. He probably had a design. He probably knows EXACTLY, what he is doing. I truly believe, they have constructed a succesfull business plan, together with a genius, who had friends, from the top shelf of the musical scene. I still believe it has it´s roots in some form of relationship, but on a completely different level, than what you preliminary, will deconstruct from the lyrics. But, there are alof of "Between Black and White" - "Acid or Alkaline" references, that COULD indicate, that if you are neither, nor part of a devastating problem. With all this "lore" - internal, external gossip, worshipping and fabrication of a lovestory that unfolds in every direction, because we are not alike..... I humbly offer, what I believe, is the key. Ascensionism - is the key. When your soul awakes. When you(WE) let go of who you (WE)think you(VESSEL) are, to become, what you(VESSEL) really are. The action of rising to an important position or a higher level. Forgive me for speculating.... but, for fans, finding an explanation, for themselves, will stop the hysteria, and appreciate, what we have been witnesses to. A Masterpiece, from a Master. These, are my last words: I will add my notes in the following messages, because,, if I had all these thoughts about the lore of Sleep Token. If I really was "caught up in her design"? - I think alot of people is trying to fill the "gaps in this strange dream" - Type-Token Dichotomy in the Identity Theory of Mind Identity theory of mind occupies an important place in the history of philosophy of mind. According to his theory mental events are nothing but physical events in the brain. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ascensionism - is the key. The Chemtrails Conspiracy Theory - is not fiction. It exists. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. If you believe in chemtrails, ask yourself how you can be so certain that there is indeed a grand conspiracy. Consider alternative, simple explanations. Remember that the Internet is filled with people who are completely sure about stuff that just isn’t true. Remember that while governments can keep secrets that involve only a few people they do a very bad job of keeping large-scale programs secret. The Russians, for example, knew specific details about the Manhattan project before the first nuclear weapons test, and that was a case where those involved had a clear patriotic motivation, to keep the secret. Vessel designed this? - He used Chemtrails, he planted red flags, he created a Blacklit Paradise? He gave the Dark Gospel a persona with pink nails and lipstick and turned it into Body Language? Is he blaming me? Us? Worshippers? Did he ultimately know, we would judge, create conspiracy theories, worship? He laid out synapses, millions and millions of possible connection possibilities, for us to dechiper and create a story, to ultimately, end up worshipping? online worshippers, to make believe, that Devotees worshipped the deity and a musical band made the atmosphere festive. And by ”Glitches in the code” or the ”gaps in a strange dream” he made room for us to start worshipping. . Tell a story, hide the people behind it, make people believe. Make people make up their own story. Make believers. Make followers. Make worshippers. We create a mannequin and he will puppeteer us through chemtrails and manipulation. ”The perfect Enemy” is winning you the battle. The deception, will set him free. He took what he wanted. Perfect Design. End of Story.

Atlantic, Euclid and TMBTE, is connected? "This bough has broken through…." The main branch breaks off? Finally giving in? Admitting guilt? "There must be someone new?" Gives up and let the past slide? Or is the bough of a sailing vessel breaking? Sinking… in the Atlantic? Have you read the lyrics to Take Me Back To Eden? “Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher” Have you HEARD the lyrics of Take Me Back To Eden? “Reset my patients wire, as a longboat lines up a pathway higher” The Vessel that brings someone, who died back to Eden? Fall For Me "With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me?" The Love You Want "I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in And you'll find a different way to keep from setting sail again" Different agenda. She has too many secrets. All the keys...you can only hide and hurt people for so long. Someday, you will pay the price. Higher and Ascensionism? I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet - searching for different things... The power of both in conjunction provides the ability to sterilize surfaces, water, and even air. Dangerous combination. I can offer you a blacklit paradise - Eden? Staring at blacklight can cause Sunburns and Skin cancer. Patients wire - the call button for someone in distress.. reset… the longboat lines up to take her back to Eden. Vessel is bringing her to Ede? Shes dead? Covered in blood. Died of childbirth? Temple build from future daughters? Womb? Blue light over murder… prefer drowning? His child "murdered" his true love? Is he blaming the unborn child for her death? IS she dead? Bringing her to Eden in the Vessel that will carry her over perfect oceans? Bough breaks, they dive through crystal waters? Noone told him not to breathe… he wakes up! They talk him through the damages and the pain! Trying not to steer the Vessel into sand and crush. Crying because … Did they have an accident? He wakes up at the hospital? He learns that his love and daughter are dead… they turn to staues at the bedside? He lost his family in an accident? He wants to go back to Eden to reunite? Blood on his hands, was it his fault? Atlantic and TMBTE is connected? Like That and Euclid "I step into your tar trap - thick tar on the inside burning. " Being mislead, having someone inside, that is there for other resons. Lies and deception. You know, but you can´t get away. You are simply too much in love, you know but.. the black in her eyes, is a sticky trap. Alkaline Chemistry without compatibility, on the other hand, usually leads to disaster. Hazmat suits works against acid or alkaline. She is PH neutral, shes all of they grey, that you do not understand. You want the passion. You want to know that its you. You want her love to be as passionate and big as yours. But its not! - you are caught up in the design she creates. You can´t get out. You want it so bad. "I see in a different light, The objects of my desire" If you use the blacklight, you might see the ultraviolet, her, the object of your desire. Descending and Chokehold She came back...to put her teeth in you, for what reason? - just say it! - tell me you want me, that you love me. just this one time. She came back. Shes alive. Timeline? Past, present, dreams and desires. Sleep Tokens? Shes got me in a chokehold. She forces me to remember. High Water and TMBTE "But you know I can hold my breath forever...noone told me not to breathe" Alkaline and High Water Chemistry without compatibility, on the other hand, usually leads to disaster. Hazmat suits works against acid or alkaline. She is PH neutral, shes all of they grey, that you do not understand. You want the passion. You want to know that its you. You want her love to be as passionate and big as yours. But its not! - you are caught up in the design she creates. You can´t get out. You want it so bad. "I see in a different light, The objects of my desire" If you use the blacklight, you might see the ultraviolet, her, the object of your desire. "I dream in phosphorescence" - "And I choke myself on sacred vapour" Phosphorus does glow under black light. The black lights emit most of their light waves just outside the range humans can perceive, in the Ultraviolet part of the spectrum. Shes a blacklight source, using phosphor to convert energy into ultraviolet radiation. "Let´s talk about chemistry" - The Chemistry of Blacklight. This is heartbreaking for me. I experienced the same. I never got over it. Nobody understands. The story is to hard to unveil. Vessel, had his heart broken. He, lived for her. He tried and gave everything. He ended up in frustration. She left. She had a different story. Stories never told. A different life. She broke him and will never recover. I experienced this. I know this pain. Missing Limbs "Cause it still makes my blood run cold To remember what I did before The stories that you never told to me And it still makes my blood run thin To remember what you are to him And I live like I've got missing limbs For you" The Night Does Not Belong To God - Euclid "The whites of your eyes Turn black in the lowlight" - Thick tar reference. The Tar trap. "And  we imitate A story of perfect days A ballad we fabricate As you forget your words again, oh And is that all you need To merely pretend to be Falling in love with me? Are the truth just way more simple, and a private thing for him to deal with? Half algorith, half deity/divinity/goddess....created for Forgetting the agony again, oh" "Where I was raised, there was no streetlights - "I raised you in the Dark" - he created, Vessel - he created the Deception. THe goddess, to make us believe. Just pitch black and passing headlights And where we met‚ there must have been dark signs Omens in your skies" - Pentagrams, maybe? And I miss the man I was (I won't break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody) The moment we left off (I won't break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody) And I hate who I have become (I won't break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody) Every time I wake up (I won't break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody) [Verse 2] And if you saw the marks on my dashboard The new scars that I didn't ask for And would you call asking for answers? Tear my arms off He is in too deep. Success, behind the mask, forces to continue. Create new Diamonds in the trees. The canopies. Vessel was born before, love took over. He needs to do this. He wont go back and just live a simple life. He had a dream. He wants it. Maybe he simply just had a wife that did not like the one he becomes, when the mask tangle endlessly with the grand design of this deception. Maybe she just wanted him home. He could not let it go. Now he wants her back and she is taking what she wants. She knows he is in too deep and he loves her endlessly. I will remember you always..Vessel. I will respect you more..if you disappered to be with her. You won and you reached your goal. IF there is a simple truth, and she is there... Go...find...her. You did enough. You gave everything and you prooved a point. Be happy - Be Vessel.

Yes to marathon!

[@Darkpuppetca]

This album is part 3 of their trilogy. Youre in for a ride.

[@Jeff1Veron]

Are you excited about the new Twenty One Pilots album coming out?!?!?! Sorry. Not sure why my KZbin gives me a random generated name. My name is Jeff and I absolutely love your videos

[@traktician]

Extremely excited for anything they drop... Especially a new album. 😊 And thanks so much. I really appreciate it 😊

[@KillTheCrownSTW]

Please do Chokehold by them 🙏

[@traktician]

I think I have done this one 👀 Here we go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHvHZ52nebadeposi=SSgI8Rr8EqF8K9Ag

[@KillTheCrownSTW]

Ooh I need to check it out then, Sleep Token is the revelation of the music scene, Vessel has such a great voice to do any genre he wants.

[@Dyrtbag68]

I think you were wrong about 80% of the lyrics but art is interpretive. You got the music theory pretty good though.

[@TheAsphyx666]

What genre are Sleep Token? Their own.

[@ega7072]

I really hope you react to the albums in one sitting each, or just close to each other, maybe over a couple of days or a week, and release the whole thing, or just each song separately, whatever you want. I just really want to you to be able break down the poetry while each song and previous album(s) is fresh on your mind, since it’s a complete overarching concept trilogy with a lot of establishing concepts/themes and lyrical callbacks. Your ability to quickly break it down would shine if you did it like that, I think:) Love your approach and genuine demeanor!
