It’s crazy how their lyrics can be interpreted in so many ways. This song always reminds me of the grief after my sister passed in an insanely fatal MVA. “Blue light over murder” makes me think of how many first responders showed up, recognized that the guy who had hit them had essentially murdered them, and it was still classified as an “accident”. Then waking up weeks later to continual therapy sessions with people who genuinely didn’t understand my situation. Having to sit there and essentially suck it up as my parents grieved, having to plan her whole service myself and not being able to outwardly feel my grief over it. Her connection to the Atlantic Ocean while she was alive. This song hits hard in so many ways for me. Makes me cry every time honestly.

@taylormerrill4896 this song reminds me of the journey I took after my 11 year old son died from leukemia. I watched them perform cpr for 45 minutes. His mom kicked me out two weeks later and wanted a divorce. 18 years of life gone in 14 days. Then came the drinking. You just want to sleep because you don't have to feel that loss. "Don't wake me up."

In Atlantic its “wash the blood from my hands” meaning guilt. In Rain its “wash the salt from my hands” which symbolizes a purification and cleansing effect. There are many songs where he has 2 sets of lyrics that are very similar but like opposite of each other. For instance the next song Hypnosis is very similar to the Offering so keep an eye out for that.

I don’t understand all of the metaphors in this song but I do know this song is about a failed suicide attempt. This verse is referring to waking up in the hospital. I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets Just orbiting the vacuum I am They talk me through the damage, consequence And how it's a pain they know they don't understand Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside I'm trying not to crush into sand So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing Wash away the blood on my hands
@brianalmeida19649 ай бұрын
That's my interpretation, too. Especially if you also take into account the line "bandage up the trenches." Could be a reference to slitting arteries. The trenches could mean the scars or cuts made in the attempt. Coincidentally, there are a few photos of Vessel where there appear to be 3 horizontal scars on his left forearm that are visible through the dark body paint! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

My interpretation has always been that the singer is waking up in the hospital after a car accident in which he was driving, and his partner was killed. Or possibly his partner, who was pregnant with a daughter, lost the baby - "crumble like a temple, built from future daughters". (There is the hint of a lost baby in the art for Are You Really OK, a song which could be about the aftermath of this wreck.) "They talk me through the damage, consequence, and how it's a pain they know they don't understand" would be a reference to the people in the hospital room telling him about the loss. "Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside" would describe his reaction. "It's blue light over murder for me" would reference the blue lights of emergency response vehicles, vs. what would be red lights of police responding to a murder. Perhaps the people are telling him it was an accident, no one is to blame, etc. "Flood me like Atlantic" would represent his desire to be unconscious, "Wash away the blood on my hands" describes his guilt. The wonderful thing about many of Vessel's lyrics is that we each get to find our own meaning in his words, so I'm not at all saying that one interpretation is right and the other is wrong. In a way, they can both/all be right, because the music is ultimately meant to speak to us, and it has accomplished that. This is one of my favorites from them.

@terezamoravkova84229 ай бұрын
Ok so there is this theory I’m sure you already noticed somewhere that Vessel’s lyrics are actually about his ex girlfriend and he uses the image of Sleep to create this whole lore so people can find what they can relate to in the lyrics. If that is true and you omit the whole goddess thing and take it as him talking about his own personal relationship experience there are certain things that keep coming up in the songs. One of them being a car crash and him ending up with scars on his arms from hitting the dashboard (Granite, High Water, Dark signs - “and if you saw the marks on my dashboard the new scars that I didn’t ask for” - this also makes me believe that the scars he’s talking about are not from self harm but from an accident she caused). So then it is very likely that Atlantic is about a car crash he survived but she didn’t - therefore the blue lights aka ambulance, waking up in a bed, talking him through the damage and pain they know they don’t understand. And if it really is true and you go further through the album it also seems that his girlfriend was pregnant and she lost the child and probably was told she wouldn’t be able to have more (when you get to Telomeres you can hear heartbeat through an ultrasound and in High Water which is the next song on the album he talks about her not being able to bear the weight of two and here in Atlantic about crumbling like a temple built from future daughters… If all of this is true, it seems she got pregnant, lost the baby and knowing she couldn’t have them anymore started harming herself and possibly tried to kill them both in the car - in Fall For Me he sings “oh God I wish you were here” and there are many mentions about her going to heaven and him not being able to reach her so Atlantic is probably really about him only surviving the crash and now he’s trying to heal himself through Sleep Token constantly going between guilt, mourning and hoping for better days in the lyrics. What is for sure it that this man has gone through some serious shit in his life which is why you can hear him cry so often either in the songs or during live performances.

I've been waiting patiently for y'all to finally get to Atlantic. I've watched other reactions but none of them really seemed to grasp the bigger picture. I knew y'all would be able to see it and appreciate the connections. For what I get from Atlantic: There has obviously been an attempt at s*. Bandaging up the trenches; waking up in hospital surrounded by staff and friends but being completely empty -- just being "talked through the damage" while he lies there with a vacant, haunted stare into the abyss. The islands by the bedside being the medications/fluids nursing him back to health. A health he doesn't want. He wants to crush them -- to end it and just sleep. Especially with the connections to Sleep, I see this both as begging to be let go and also begging to be able to be in the Eden of his dreams. I see this as possibly what is being referred to in 'Are you really ok'. And especially with this being the first song after Bloodsport. The first song after the Goddess has left and giving in to that hopelessness. It really starts bringing into perspective just how much TMBTE is the chapter of healing and makes it even more poignant. My last observation that I get is at the end of the song the echoing effect (which is a theme in the entire album) sounds like what I would imagine drowning to feel like. The cacophony or noise, pain, and turbulence at the surface that fades as you sink -- fading until there is quiet, darkness, and Sleep. I can't wait to see what y'all think of the rest of Tomb, but for me personally Atlantic is a masterpiece. Worship.

I went to the Anaheim show and this song was amazing! Every time I hear this I just think back to watching him on the piano and everything else just fell into place

I've been waiting for you guys to get to this album ever since you started your Sleep Token journey. I really believe you guys will appreciate everything it has to offer. Welcome to, imo, their most underrated album.

This is my number one favorite Sleep Token song. I was smiling from ear to ear when I heard this live. The general consensus from the fan base is this is mostly about a failed suicide attempt/depression more so than solely focusing on the deity "Sleep." Most of their songs aren't directly correlated to Sleep, more so these songs are "offerings" to her. Love you guys, enjoy the ride, more awesome tunes to come. Worship!

This is one of my favorite tracks along with Jaws, just about moves you to tears when it's played live.

HELL YES! I have been waiting since July or August for you guy to do this song! I tune in daily to see what you guys put up! Thank you for the great videos!

love this trilogy so much. sundowning to me is the yearning for love, tomb is about the pain and suffocation and drowning feeling that comes from a failed love, and TMBTE is the acceptance of losing it and moving on. such a masterpiece.

Double reaction; Is It Really You by Loathe, and then Sleep Token’s cover of the same song

When doing your deep dive into the lore/symbolism you have to rabbit hole into the history of alchemy, you’ll piece together much more 💡
