I find vessel being masked and anonymous symbolism for a great many other things. And the line about being a vessel being a living drama of your pain. Is very apt. In a way we are all vessel. He is holding a mirror up to us reflected through him. Our loss. Our pain. Our joy. Our love. To seek closure or new beginnings. For every new sleep token fan there comes "the point". That point is when you get it. Its not about genres. Not about charts. Its about honest music and music that cares just being what it needs to when it needs to through honest lyrics and that's why so many connect to this band. Sure the lore with sleep and everything is a whole other thing to unpack. But your journey with sleep token has been great to watch and when music makes you feel you know its done right.

[@azraelcales]

Well seeing as how you are your soul then the body is the vessel.

[@ifautumnends]

YES. You put so succinctly how I feel. I’ve been listening in earnest since June. I’m an INFJ and I hate surface level connection, and this feeds my soul in a way that’s deeper than I can ever explain. It’s because of the mirror. You can’t listen to this without feeling that so deeply.

[@tanyastanley5730]

This is such an underrated and under appreciated song. Most reviewers just concentrate on the vocoder and how it sounds like Imogen Heap or Bon Iver. This song is so much deeper especially with the video. I think it’s one of their most personal songs they’ve written. It’s heartbreaking and raw. I really appreciate how you go deeper into the meaning of songs lyrically while appreciating it musically. This song kills me especially when I think about the lyrics in the video. You should watch the live version as well. No voice enhancement. Just him the piano and the audience oh and backup singers. You should also listen to Vessel’s message to his fans. It’s very moving and poetic.

[@ramanmonkey]

I take the vocoder as him wanting stability through his emotions.. It feels like he is crying as he is singing this. I think it adds a lot to the meaning of the song. For me at least.

[@UMPeeps1348]

Seriously no one breaks down the words that pop up in this video and it kills me, Thank you so much for this!!! That whole aspect of this song is what makes it so meaningful to me!! Worship!!

[@theprojectjango]

🤘🙂

[@nicktesla61]

What if the toxic relationship led him to try to end himself, but he survived. In a weird way he still loved her, but after he survived she refuses to accept him back???

[@urfvsuthrngal318]

This song breaks my heart. I think the simplicity of it is so the message stands out 😔🖤

[@boih8436]

I have an interpretation where the lyrics are about someone that has died, presumably his partner. Let me elaborate (this is all my interpretation and nothing is based on facts): The city of ice is Vessel, and although he seems very cold, he is burning in the inside. A burning desire for her. “The skies” are what separate Vessel and his partner (she went to heaven), and his burning cathedrals turn it into glass. Because glass is made by heating up sand (simply put). So this glass is a metaphor for a fragile and sharp border between him and his partner. “The wounds of the past” I interpret as his memory of her passing. And “the echoing futures” are his knowledge that life goes on. “So won’t you fall for me?” Doesn’t mean falling in love to me, to me it means falling from the heavens. And the “fractured existence” is a nice callback to the “glass” lyric, but it’s also the broken existence of his partner. “From reality”, in reality she can’t return. He also mentions a “garden” which I interpret as the garden of eden. Which is also a heavenly concept. And the reason why I think it’s about his partner is because he says “I am yours in the end” which would be a weird thing to say about anyone but his partner. Hope this is in any way, shape or form understandable to anyone haha, thought I’d share my thoughts on this masterpiece of a song.

[@UnXplainable1]

This was really great to read. It makes me look at the song in a different way.

[@modredastal1644]

There has been a recent development on this... At the Philadelphia live show (available on KZbin) the Interludes were recordings of a conversation, presumably between Vessel and Sleep (or The Mask) about their purpose and meaning to each other and the audience. This exchange is very similar to what seems to be the dialogue flashing up in Fall For Me. Vessel is always talking to Sleep in some way, but occasionally it's very direct.

[@MHP1993]

Man. I’m so fucking amped for your reactions. I’m refreshing KZbin every 20 minutes until I see the next one come up. I can not wait for you to make it all the way through to Euclid.

[@DanSkinny]

I second this. One of the few reactors I know are earning their way to Euclid for all it’s worth. Watching avengers endgame without seeings the any or even a few of the marvel movies, you’ll see a good movie. Watching WITH context makes it 10000x better.

[@beelzbop]

Ah, yes, the conundrum of Sleep Token lore. The more you hear, the less you know. I'm not sure there is one concrete narrative. Or no one has cracked the code, yet, and Vessel isn't talking. (literally) So everyone has their theories and they go round and round and shift and change like trying to catch a school of fish. Just when you think you've got it something else comes along to contradict or recolor your perspective and you're back at square 1, building a new theory. But that's also the joy of it - hearing what others see and viewing it through their eyes, building a new world with them. It's confusing and wonderful and we love that journey because it's both personal and very communal. 🙏 PS - the sodden note in the video is paper covered with handwritten lyrics to the song.

[@dalerjh]

This is perhaps your best reaction yet and certainly the best I’ve ever seen for this song. Your analysis is so good for just a first or second listen. The video really adds so much more depth to this song. FWIW, I think your interpretation at 16:43-17:00 is absolutely spot on. If you listen back to the songs you’ve already listened to with this idea in mind, it makes sense. This is equally applicable for the songs you’re yet to hear. If this story bears any similarity to real life lived experience then I just can’t even… W O R S H I P

[@UMPeeps1348]

This one always rocks my world!!! Just cuts insanely deep!! "if we are to be submerged, let us be submerged"

[@angryasianjim]

As always your reaction was heartfelt. Tough song. Glad I’m not the only one that ST makes misty eyed.

[@Nathdood]

This song is very hard for me. I get very emotional. Also what makes it one of my favorites. It's such an amazing song... and the video just makes it hit 100x harder

[@ILV_Coasters]

This song is so interesting, vessel is the instruments in this and it is amazing! This album is massively centred around aquatic themes, each single cover art had a part of co-ordinates which created the exact co-ordinates to Point Nemo, the point in the ocean the furthest from land, Also, the visualisers all have a meter reading on them, and as you progress through the Album the further underwater the meter reading shows, just sick!

[@Calirohe]

I did not know about the point Nemo reference, thanks for pointing that out :)

[@ILV_Coasters]

@@Calirohe no problem, if you want to find them, it’s the top left of each single cover :)

[@Calirohe]

@@ILV_Coasters I'll go check that :)

[@noahjakob1746]

Great reaction, and man I love this song. One of the strongest they have, made even more amazing without any instruments. I think to me, this song is written by Vessel, for Vessel. He wants to be able to love himself. Just my view of course, keep up the good work!

[@jslady5662]

I was in the floor in my head watching this reaction. I cried right with u. 😢

[@patrick2389]

Every time you upload a video honestly makes my day because you're one of the few reactors out there who actually analyses the lyrics, meaning, storytelling - apart from of course, the absolute delight that is the instrumentation. Love your work!

[@HolyBurntTrephines]

There is a lot of duality in the lyrics-the struggle between wanting to practically be one with her and reflecting on how unhealthy and destructive that kind of connection is. The price that he has to pay might be as high as his life. More will come to light on the next album, so you have a lot to look forward to. I can't wait to hear your interpretation of High Water; it is my favorite on the album and, in my opinion, also the most heartbreaking. Thank you so much again for another amazing reaction. It makes me feel warm to see someone else have such a genuine emotional reaction to the art that is Sleep Token. Worship :)

[@idontknow-vq9hu]

Listened to it TWICE, pro strats

[@katelynrogers5707]

I think for reference you should listen to Higher, Dark Signs, Fall for Me, Missing Limbs, Granite, Aqua Regia, and Euclid… toxic/abusive relationship… an incident occurs where both parties lives are risked (my assumption is an intentional car accident) they breakup… granite is a version of clarity that he didn’t have in missing limbs… Aqua Regia he is seeing things clearly and no longer “dancing to alarm bells”… and Euclid is the culmination of finally accepting what that relationship was and to let go and move on from it.

[@izzyisnormal]

this video makes me cry every time. it's gorgeous.

[@kevinhelm9970]

Thanks for taking the time to do an in-depth review on Fall For Me. A lot of other reactors seem to breeze over this one. Can't wait for the next one! Worship

[@earthscorcher]

Your Atlantic analysis made me realize something that I think may fit a lot of this. I think she was may have been pregnant, and they were fighting and got into the accident (drove off into the ocean maybe), and they both survived - but their child didn't. "Crumble like a temple built from future daughters." That line confused the fuck out of me for a long time, but I think I get it now. Could be wrong, but it was a thought I had. This song further confirms for me that they both survived the accident, and were reeling in pain, so they both attempted - either separately, or together. If they lost their child to the accident, it would make sense to want to be submerged together *with* their child.

[@earthscorcher]

"And through echoing futures, over buckling sutures, that hold back the wounds of the past." Echoing futures being their lost child's future that never had a chance, and obvious buckling sutures regarding the long sleep. The more I look at this, the more it makes sense to me.

[@angryasianjim]

There’s an ultrasound of a baby in the moon on the cover of TMBTE. There’s also a song on that album that seems to directly address this as well. Could just be me extrapolating out of thin air but I def feel like a child was lost in one way or another (pre-birth)

[@earthscorcher]

@@angryasianjim totally agree with you re: AYROK, plus the art for that song is pretty confirmatory. As for the ultrasound in the moon, I'm going to have to take a REAL good look at that because I have not noticed that before. Gonna be blown tf away if I can see it.

[@tiffy3260]

Came late to the game..i think you're on to something.. also listening to Levitate again last night, gave me the feeling that it was for a child they lost..

[@earthscorcher]

@@tiffy3260 never late to the game - I'm still here 🤙🏽 and absolutely. It's wild how he wove all this in.

[@TaraRyze]

This video kills me every time…It’s so heartbreaking 😭 But it’s also very beautiful…very Imogen Heap sounding, which I would not be surprised if he was inspired by! I was counting down the days until you got to this one!! Amazing reaction as always! 🙌🏻

[@TrickTheKick]

"For the time being, you are still a perfect reminder of what, all of these scars on my arms are for.' Now I can say for certain seeing HD photos that unfortunately there was a unaliving attempt on Vessel's part, which I'm sure is what he references to in 'Atlantic' and 'Are you really okay?'. I believe that this relationship was very toxic to Vessel, and yet Vessel just kept giving and giving until he had absolutely nothing left, and she still didn't love him like he loved her, if at all. 'You don't really love, you just hate to be alone' (When the bough breaks)

[@bear470]

I love how you break down this song, you have a new subscriber!

[@anthonydiprima9910]

Been waiting on this one 👏

[@robotwaifuengineer]

WORSHIP.

[@richardlovell2732]

I was waiting for this reaction and it didn't disappoint :)

[@larrycable1827]

Yes that is Vessel

[@Calirohe]

That song definitely took me by surprise too and I think it says a lot about it that the shortest song makes your longer video ^^ And I had not tought about the pact, it is a very interesting idea that might shed a different light on some things. I am going to re (re, re-...) listen to the album with that idea in mind, see where it gets me. As for this song, I wondered if he is not talking to himself, at least to some extent. There are other hints in other songs that he cannot live with himself (either literaly or metaphorically) for reasons unclear, and your theory of a suicide pact "gone wrong" (not that it could ever go well, but you see what I mean ^^''), it might explain the "I want to understand to what it is to let go - I want to want to live." Thanks for sharing your thoughts, hearing someone else's theories always add an additional layer of depth to the songs, imo :)

[@Plunder13]

You missed the variation on the final chorus. “With my love as your garden” could be an early call out to Take Me Back to Eden. “I am yours in the end” also makes me think it’s more of a mourning towards the end. There’s a lot of blurring of which lyrics seem to be metaphors and which seem a bit too real. I think the motif of the 3 albums is about a toxic relationship, that either spurred from or resulted in the loss of a baby. The emotions that follow that and the stages of grief. It ties in with many other songs and creates a beautiful, heartbreaking trilogy of albums.

[@flumpdaddy2322]

I love this song so much… & funny enough im digging your background beat during your initial thoughts too lol. What is that song playing??

[@theprojectjango]

Hanging out by Bruno E. It's part of the KZbin audio library

[@BiologicalAntenna]

A song “Vessel” wrote in his previous band is about what seems to be a (S) pact by carbon monoxide poisoning and the lover had second thoughts and he held them down to complete the mission..it’s a favorite of mine but definitely dark..

[@tracyraines1059]

I never thought about those songs like that I always thought of them as growing up in a abusive home cuz most of them kinda seem to be from someone else's perspective.

[@tracyraines1059]

Even at that young age he seems to have had a pretty tragic life unless he's just a really good story teller.

[@wsbenn01]

Sorry I’m late to the sleep token party. What if in this song, the words are to the audience (us). Saying that he will carry the weight of our pain. Perhaps he wades into the water to symbolize the death of his former self to become vessel (pictured in the first frames of the video as the hand coming out of the sand).

[@MH-jj6sq]

He asking himself to love him.

[@hoangal]

I get so excited for your reaction videos now... a little girl in the tiny horse petting zoo. You can say it i am a weird one

[@silentamarok7089]

idk why but i kinday view this song as vessel speaking to himself like he does in DYWTYLM

[@sandcake]

Please check out any live version of this song. It is soooo good live ❤ Worship.

[@Jwizz2000]

Speaking on the hand Could he have tried to bury vessel?? Is that the reason he has no paint and no mask

[@DanSkinny]

Just so you know I really liked the BING BANG BOOM intro. It was stupid and dumb and I loved it.

[@alienkinkvr]

Peep Outliers by Aviations for something else that will touch your heart. Like, I know I'm just a random comment on your video, but I cannot stress that unique and magical quality the song contains. Its impossible to verbally quantify.

[@darcystcorner2580]

Since you now know may I suggest listening to all the singles that have been released. Maybe it’ll give you a clearer picture. She is not dead but something did happen which is talked about in previous work. It’s just all so tragic 😢

[@zeru1175]

Someone died for sure, but I'm not sure who. It also seems like he is talking about exes, death, himself or sleep deppending on the song, so there are quite a lot of different characters and interpretations you can make.

[@NeilD1]

Im not so sure that his lyrics are always eluding to his own personal experiences. Songwriters, poets, teachers, comics, entertainers, are typically highly observant and or intuitive/empathic... He could be creatively inspired by any number of experiences in life, his own and other's, both real and imaginary. He's very into fanatasy lore, gaming, philosophy, history, numerology, psychology and i dare say - neo spirituality, from what i understand. All are huge reservoirs of inspiration to draw upon, no doubt. Ultimately, creatives are story tellers - and im not sure who said this, but 'why/don't let the truth spoil a good story'.

[@dankfrank8708]

No one is prepared for this song

[@vitanyroyale]

It took me years to listen to this song without completely breaking down. Most times I would skip it altogether. I identified this song a lot with thoughts of unaliving myself for a myriad of reasons and for a very long time. And after my mom passed it just hit so much harder. This is one of the most difficult songs for me to listen to. I’m not sure where you are now a year after posting this but I hope hearing this song has become similar to that experience-but only in that it’s gotten a little better despite the difficulty. In that the wounds have healed or gotten easier to bandage. In that hearing it now can bring tears of joy from the better memories rather than the tears of sorrow that happened at the start. In that you’ve found some solace in any regrets. But, in Vessel’s broken words.. “Be not afraid…. Nothing lasts forever.” 🫂

[@RK800Connor-m2t]
