Father & Son React | Sleep Token's "The Apparition" | Further Down We Go!

[@de5troythebrain]

The Apparition is the most slept on track on the album. that trap beat is killer. and the lyrics are just smooth af .

[@UncleTrebor]

I find myself loving it more and more the more I hear it... It's a banger for sure!

[@PolarBear_BITW]

Rain needs to be next on the list to show him. Chefs kiss. Loving these reactions!

[@RebeccaTheWitch]

💯 Rain and The Apparition are the sleeper hits on this album. Like, Ascensionism and Take Me Back are huge cinematic stretches. Those 2 songs are short, Moody, and poignant.

[@UncleTrebor]

We're on it!! The suspense is hard to deal with at the moment! LOL

[@PinkWorm]

@@RebeccaTheWitch dont forget summoning and chokehold on the stretches

[@brittasandine767]

I love how music can be interpreted in so many different way! I think when Vessel says hijack heaven, he is describing what it is like to have your happiness taken over by the bad experiences of his past. Like when he is in a good headspace, having peace from the everyday struggles, the negative memories flood in and ruin his high. So his heaven is being hijacked by his past.

[@UncleTrebor]

I know that feeling too well... Just wish I thought to say it that way too! LOL Thanks for watching!

[@jimmydean7219]

Personally, I think the line “ Let’s make trouble in the dreamworld, hijack heaven with another memory” means that he yearns for the “heaven” he has in his mind, this relationship he has with this person that may exist only in his mind. Vessel has great memories with this person, but that’s the only place that heaven exists, in the past, or memories. In the present, those fleeting moments feel like a ghost, or an “apparition.” He’s coming to grips with the fact that the good times with this person are in the past, and that it’s time to move on.

[@sigmarieti8]

My humble interpretation of hijack heaven with another memory is... To take another way or chance to create an event which doesn't belong to a current present in order to enjoy it for a last time. Heaven (dimensionally speaking) holds the access to past or future that doesn't exist in our 3d dimensional existence. There's a lot, there's a lot with them guys. Glad you boys joined us in this magical journey we call life. WORSHIP🖤

[@UncleTrebor]

I love how humble your interpretation is! LOL This is a great take!!

[@SamHoward-c9f]

All of the songs on this album tell an overarching narrative of vessel learning to let go of somebody he loved. All three albums they have are actually part of that narrative. "The Apparition" is him having dreams of that person he loved, now gone from his life. His pleading of "Just let me go or take me with you" is meant to be him saying "i don't care what happens but make it happen." Its what happens just before the healing finally takes place and the albums final song Euclid is vessel finally letting go

[@taylorlowe5155]

Pops gives me Morpheus vibes, and I am here for it. Always good reviews and reactions!

[@UncleTrebor]

I taught Morpheus everything he knows! LOL

[@EricNelson-h6y]

No matter what I do, this wound will never heal. Why are you never real? The shifting states you follow me through. Unrevealed . Just let me go or take me with you. I think these are the hardest hitting lyrics that Sleep Token has laid down. The emotion Vessle has in his voice. So damn AMAZING.

[@UncleTrebor]

Crazy! Thanks for watching!

[@HorseAholic73]

The Apparition is my fav!!!

[@UncleTrebor]

I'm putting it up there with 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and then 1e The Apparition

[@PolarBear_BITW]

Also time heals no wounds. The memories will creep in slowly. In happiness or sadness.

[@UncleTrebor]

Teach it!💯💯

[@tobyturkey]

I believe this song is about a lost loved one who visits him every night and in his dreams where they hijack heaven together to make new memories. He's afraid to let her go and he wishes he could take back some of the things he did to her in the past. When he mentions the suicide frenzy its kind of like coming back to reality and realizing the loved ones that he has lost due to suicide including her.

[@UncleTrebor]

Her being the sleep deity or I also heard he lost a daughter... Lot to unpack here lol

[@earthscorcher]

"I see that storm" - you're damn right you do 😂 if you hope two songs forward on the album, you literally reach the song "Rain"

[@UncleTrebor]

How does Vessel do this??? 🤯

[@earthscorcher]

@@UncleTrebor we've all wondered that for a long time now lmao. stoked for the ones coming out soon!

[@brianalmeida1964]

Another great reaction. You are correct that time does not heal the wounds, but rather, you learn to live with the pain. It becomes a part of you. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

[@ThepowderbluesForum]

Chokehold is deep as hell. And instantly gives amazing goosebumps. Vore is my most played song. But im heavy heavy metal guy. Euclid tears me up good.

[@UncleTrebor]

They definitely have the emotions all over the map right now!

[@gdijkhuizen5744]

What I've heard and how I'm interpreting this song is Vessel (the singer), dreaming\having a nightmare about a past lover who ended their own life (wake up to a suicide frenzy) and him using this nightmare, even though it hurts to remember that past lover (hijack heaven with another memory now). But your interpretations are amazing, applying the lyrics to life and letting it help you grow!

[@UncleTrebor]

And really... I feel like thats the main reason he's writing this gold. Ascension

[@thatredhairedwitch]

What i think vessel is trying to say with "hijack heaven with another memory" is that Sleep only appears to him in dreams. Hence why "why are you never real." In ascensionism he mentions three eyes. The last one being the third eye, showing how spiritual he is. In the spiritual world you can change memories to the point where you can see the changes of it in your reality. So i think what he's trying to say is that bes trying to change his memories of sleep so they can be altered in his life too

[@UncleTrebor]

Oh damn!!! I never put the 3 eyes together as the third eye... wtf!

[@TB-sp9jy]

What a wonderful surprise to start the day with! Here to Worship!

[@UncleTrebor]

We got you fam!! More to come!

[@richardeyes5159]

Great reaction guys again can't wait for you to do euclid

[@UncleTrebor]

I think that one and Alkalkine may be the most requested right now... It's coming!

[@TaraRyze]

@@UncleTrebor a quick recommendation, I know you’re trying to go in order with Take Me Back to Eden first, but I highly suggest you listen to the first song, “The Night Does Not Belong to God” off their first album, Sundowning, and then listen to Euclid! You’ll see why and it will make Euclid all that more special! 🙌🏻

[@mikeymofonz]

Before you play Euclid, you should listen to The Night Does Not Belong To God, the 1st track from their 1st album Sundowning. It marks the Beginning of their trilogy to the end being the last track from Take Me Back To Eden and it ties together so good.

[@viviolet7]

14:10 hijack heaven - either enter heaven unofficially, or derail heaven with another memory - when he remembers this woman & what happened with her, it either makes his day or ruins it completely

[@UncleTrebor]

I see that!

[@wowitsjoel]

Time heals "most" wounds

[@UncleTrebor]

Maybe not heals them… Just makes them tolerable

“Yea, them vocals is cold, but that beat is stupid.” That is a perfect description of the end of that song

Something everyone overlooks with this track is ESPERA backing vocals on minute 2:54. Outstanding work of these girls. 💯❤️‍🔥

[@UncleTrebor]

I'll have to relisten for that!

vessel and ii are actually the only ones that work on the albums, so all of the vocals are just vessel. it would be so cool if espera was on future albums though!

13:19 that’s why think the end point of the relationship as he said in take me back to Eden reset my patience violence like that’s how a bad it’s gotten

[@barryeasler5863]

To hijack heaven with another memory means he wants to play the dream where this person and him are together again so they can make trouble in the dream world. Or thats at least what i get from it. Ive had dreamed where i try to get myself back into the dream after i woke up.

Oh i can see that!! Bonnie and clyde in the dream world!

It's a deity that appears in his dreams, messed him up for 3 albums so far...Anyone that went on an enthogenic travel knows this is a real possibility, fall in love with deity i mean

[@JGotti777]

He’s obsessed with sleep the goddess and can only see her in his dreams he just wants her but she keeps playing with him. The trilogy is a ride through a toxic relationship with Vessel and his deity Sleep.

[@UncleTrebor]

This relationship is deep!

[@JGotti777]

@@UncleTrebor the entire discography is about him meeting sleep becoming vessel their relationship through time and his obsession with wanting to be with sleep and the toxicity of their relationship… played out through the album’s metaphorically so that we can all relate to what they are going through. So much emotion so much detail we can all relate to in our lives. He’s a fkn genius lyrically, musically (he wrote all performs all instruments but percussion on the albums) vocally and the production an detail that went to this work of art is

Ok stop!! No way! Holy shit if thats the true perspective then those words double in value!

[@Vessellove77]

look at the album art for are you really ok…

[@Vessellove77]

Alot of people believe that most of his songs are about the sleep godess but that isn’t true. In vessels only interview that he has done which was in 2017 and through emails, vessel himself refers to it as the God of sleep and several times throughout refers to it as a he, never godess and never she.

[@UncleTrebor]

Just head this not too long ago too! Low key I really kinda hope it's not, bc that would mean its aabout mroe real life situations he's gone through... But not that the other way is better or worse... They would both be great stories and amazing works of art!

I lost brain cells watching this

[@UncleTrebor]

Yeah I get it! LOL

[@skakangi]

Does it ever cross either of yall minds that , even though he uses words connected to the Bible, he’s using them as a metaphor? If I say I am fighting my demons, are you thinking I am actually fighting horned beasts? It’s a metaphor. But what trips me out is that yall curse, refer to music that a Christian shouldn’t be listening to, yet it’s ok for yall to “ cross the line” but pass judgement on others? I so hate western Christianity, yall pick and choose what is “ ok “ in God’s eyes when scripture tells you no, this isn’t ok for you to be doing as a believer. Actually, it’s sad to see this from professing Christians.

[@UncleTrebor]

You seem to be the best at knowing whats metaphorical and what's not, so please enlighten us on what lyrics he means metaphorically and which are not. That would be a major cheat code to this journey! Thanks for watching!

[@arimewillow4278]

No thats 2000's goth and hip hop mixed. It is a movie.All the music fits together, whole story. Call backs in everything. From the Ep's all the way to the end with Euclid. People arguing about what genre and its a whole movie score. As for Hijack Heaven, IMO he's getting what he wants but his life keeps getting interrupted by thoughts of the past. Limerence plays into a lot of the music. Desperately wanting something or someone you can't have, but they keep playing with you. Even your mind is playing with you for them. 🫶

[@UncleTrebor]

I think I should ask it again... "How does Vessel do this???" LOL
