All my opinion. The city is a nod to modernity. In the city of ice, we’ve grown cold and continuing to grow. Burning cathedrals are burning down the sacred and replacing it with the new sacred “glass” sky scrapers. Fragility. Never throw stones if you live in a glass house. And this all points to a pride in how capable we all think we are with self sufficiency. This I think is at the heart of the whole sleep token project. It’s pointing to us waking up to our self constructed horror. Trying to turn away from god and finding it impossible.

Oh the quickness that I clicked on this!! Wow. I never thought about the hand being painted black… When Vessel walked into the water, then he was reborn as the Vessel we know him as today. Woah. You guys really opened my eyes to a bunch of different theories about this song/video. I never even contemplated it being a conversation. And the chills? Yep. They got us all with that line… Great job guys. Can’t wait for the next one!

I really enjoyed your reaction/analysis. If it helps, here's the text that appears during the video but written out as a complete paragraph! "The truth is I am due a harsh lesson, in truth itself and how bitter it can be. Will you teach me? The truth is, I am ugly, I am inadequate, I am lost. I am no God. The truth is, I want, to want, to live. And so do you. I just can't do this any longer. I am afraid, are you afraid? I want to understand what it is to let go. So, for now, let me serve as a living drama of your pain. If we are to be submerged, then let us be submerged together." Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

This one means so much to me about “falling” for myself and loving myself. I got “to the rhythm of eternity” tattooed on me as a reminder to not let my insecurities win

Been following your channel since you started doing these, and it has been a beautiful journey to take with y’all. The Love You Want and Fall For Me are an emotionally lethal 1-2 punch, but Alkaline comes through and gives you that emotional release you need after listening to these two. Fire reaction as always, fellas! 🔥

Man, I loved this reaction, but I cannot wait for you guys to react to Alkaline....that is the song that pulled me into ST, and I am never looking back. Love the reviews, the discussions, and your insights aren't wrong, they are just how the lyrics speak to your experiences, I think it honestly helps me immensely

Damn I never put it together that his hand is painted at the beginning! Good catch! Thank you for watching the video and taking the time to pause and take it in and read the text that pops up! It’s crucial to the song, even though the song on its own is beautiful! I’ve seen quite a few reactors not watch the video or have it on but not pay attention and I’m always like, “Noooooo!” You guys absolutely did this song justice! You are seriously my favorite Sleep Token reactors! I feel like there could be a few interpretations of this song, as with all of their songs, but I think you pretty nailed it with the back and forth between Vessel and “Sleep”

No, glass is not a firmament, but the word "firmament" can refer to the arc of the sky or a dome-shaped structure that separates the heavens from the earthly realm. In ancient Egyptian texts, the firmament was described as having special doors or gateways on the eastern and western horizons that allowed heavenly bodies to pass through. These gateways were also used by righteous people to ascend between the earthly and heavenly realms.

I think the part about the city of ice with burning cathedrals is illustrating how impossible it is for whoever Vessel is speaking with to fall in love with him

Okay I honestly never realized they could go together - kinda of like an echo. Crazy how you see things you've never seen in something you've watched countless times when other people break it down! Great reaction, as always. Also, did lil bro tie the knot recently, or am I crazy and that ring has been there for a while? Either way, congrats man :)

I know you say you don’t do it justice but I truly think you did. You opened up a different perspective of this song for me. That’s the beauty of these songs. They can and are meant to be interpreted differently.

He is “ending” the person he used to be and becoming vessel; referencing vessels hand in the beginning and him “submerging” himself in the end of the video

I feel like also the video depicts a baptism after wandering the desert. And baptism is also known as the death and rebirth. So yeah I’m not sure what’s going on but I love this song

I never thought of putting the on screen words into the lyrics. It ALMOST works till the end and then you're just forcing ideas into an unintended message. You guys have amazing perspective. Good on you.

You guys are doing great. Really great! And I love that you're starting to consider their songs are from the perspective of another person/ entity. Also please consider that within these individual songs that they can be speaking to each other. I hold the thought that vessle/sleep is his darker self and that there is an unnamed self/real self that is battling with vessle/sleep. Some refer to the real self as Euclid. I believe in this particular song they are speaking to each other in the music video. But you guys are doing great in breaking down everything! Love it!

There's no paint on him. This is him speaking to us truthfully. I feel like he was asking us to come on the rest of the journey with him. But having sleep begging for him to follow them and Vessel desperate for connection makes sense in the lore also.

My theory is that this is the moment Vessel and the band decided to wear the black (mud-like) substance during their live shows.. That he got mud on himself when he tried to end his life.
