The lyrics are slightly wrong. They should actually be: "I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody." I enjoyed your reaction. The problem is that we all feel like we are the only ones who have either felt like this or gone through something like this. The actual truth is that lots of us have! You'd have to be extremely lucky to go through life without ever having had your heart broken or getting involved with the wrong person. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

Thank you. Yea that does happen to everyone. It's the part where you self reflect in the morning when you're waking up, realizing you hate the person you've become while you're with said person. And you feel trapped. And you know the exact moment in time when you decided to pursue this relationship knowing full well that this feeling of hopelessness was going to happen. Daily. That experience and emotion is what I think is crazy to relate to, to the T.

Yes, many of us have gone through some shit that we never knew how to express but Vessel nails it perfectly! Don't worry about crying while listening.... there's usually a song that digs in and sinks its teeth into you 😂. See what I did there??!!😂 Sleep Token s music is healing in so many ways. Yes, the trilogy of albums tell one long story. It's sometimes gut wrenching and euphoric in others.....Yes, Vessel has gone through some shit, and is genius how he can make metaphorical entries in his music that can evoke such emotions. Just follow the journey and hopefully you'll be like so many of us that finds what we need in their music. Worship ❤

This is that story. From the EP's, combining the lore into the relationship. Through to the end. Ive cried, I learned to grieve to this music, and find hope. The room below concert, there's a message he puts out to the audience that addresses this. I think this music connects with people who have gone through it and sit alone with the pain. His music helps you feel the emotions and come to terms with your own while listening to him work through his. It's not being alone. I think that's why we all like to watch others find Sleep Token. You're not alone, we're all here too. Worship ❤️

Loved your reaction to the video bud. Ended up writing it with the band. Basically a person who was a good friend to me ended our relationship and friendship because she hung out with someone who had been a “friend” to her and she really ended up screwing me over. In simplest terms it’s about being in a state of not knowing who you are after a relationship ends that I was so connected to.

Sleep Token is an emotional journey! I think you have the jist of it, but there are many twists and turns. I’m a year in and still making connections between songs. I’m a woman but I got a strong dose of “western pioneer stoicism” so I can compartmentalize my emotions far too well. This music has helped a lot with my emotional inventory and some umpacking.

You really are not alone! Something that I've learned some time ago is not to analyze what I'm feeling but to just feel it. We dissect everything and think through our feelings but that's helpful. Idk...just what I learned. Other than that..... idk....I appreciate Vessel's honesty and how he treats certain topics. He is very vulnerable and authentic. No wonder that makes you cry. It's going to get a lot more sad. The whole album “This Place Will Become Your Tom” is what I like the call “the depression album” so.... It's the line “tear my arms off” that gets to me btw. Idk...I could say so much....(okay I can't shut up so I copy and paste something that I wrote some time ago). idk if you ever looked at concert photos of Vessel (probably not becaue you are new to this)?! I have a fan tumblr and I have looked at many photos/ videos over the years. He paints his arms black but depending on how the light shines on them or when the paint starts to come of because it's warm, they reveal certain things. He has a lot of self-harm scars on both of his arms. When he sings about tearing his arms of, I assume he means exactly that. I struggled with that myself btw. And other things (was diagnosed with BPD a long time ago) but I'm fine these days. The weird thing about this topic is that many fans relate to it in a sense that they have struggled in that way, too. But there are also fans who hate you for point this even out. What I decided to do about this some time ago was just be honest about it and share my past struggle but I also write about how it got better for me. I figured that the only way to end the stigma when it comes to mental illness is by opening up about my own struggles. I used to pretend that this part of me did not even exist but it's actually Sleep Token's music that inspired me to be more authentic. (stolen from my own tumblr and a also sry for the wall of text.....to me Sleep Token really is an invitation to talk about stuff like that and not shy away from it. I really want to end the stigma around mental health issues like these 😉)

I feel ya. 100% drop walls of text anytime. I listened to this song again right after this video and recorded it. It's about 15 minutes really talking about what this song did for me immediately, but I'm not fully ready to just drop all of that on KZbin just yet so I cut those couple pieces and added them to the beginning and end of this video. Once I figure this KZbin thing out I'll find some other avenue of posting videos like that. I also have a bunch of videos where I just straight up roast the song/MV because they are humorously bad, but don't want to post them here either lol. But yea, that song fucking slaps! I've been listening to it all day today, and each time it lifts me higher above the relationship I was in for 10 years. I'm just now fully healing from that, so having this song remind me that I did indeed escape alive is just perfect for me right now timing wise honestly. I'm blown away typing this even
