In the brain, oxytocin acts as a chemical messenger and has an important role in many human behaviours including sexual arousal, recognition, trust, romantic attachment and mother-infant bonding. As a result, oxytocin has been called the 'love hormone' or 'cuddle chemical'.

[@UncleTrebor]

Thanks for that explanation!! And for watching!

[@libonkers8750]

Sugar on the blood cells is a chemistry reference to drinking alcohol while carbon in the brain is a reference to inhalation (likely drugs). Makes the line “out Eden’s vices running through my veins” make a little more sense. In that context too, Aqua Regia being a corrosive acid could mean that the relationship and love he has for this person is the cause his self destruction by substance abuse. Vessel’s metaphors are crazyyy detailed and has sooo many meanings depending on who is trying to decipher them. Great reaction 💖

[@UncleTrebor]

I agree completely! I would love to just sit and hear his brain process

[@michellelevert5128]

Not too many reactors really break down the lyrics as they see them AND tell how it affected them and helped them ascend. It’s so interesting to me. Honestly it’s why I watch reactors. When I see real emotion and a solid break down I’m hooked. I’m here for it.

[@UncleTrebor]

I'm here too! It's deep in these waters though! LOL

[@michellelevert5128]

@@UncleTrebor for sure, but well worth the swim ❤️

[@TaraRyze]

I’m a sucker for metaphorical lyrics and Vessel is the king of metaphors! I also love how he uses them in tandem throughout the songs and keeps everything tied together! Genius

[@UncleTrebor]

Sleep Token is low hanging fruit to us BAR headz!! Thanks for watching

[@michellemcmahon3344]

Love your interpretation of this song. In my opinion Sleep Token songs are written in a way that make them fit many different situations. So different people can relate to each song for different reasons. And to me, that's what real music, great music is all about. So I really enjoy watching different people react to Sleep Token and hearing how they interpret the meaning of each song. You'd be surprised at how many different meanings I've heard for each of their songs, it's truly fascinating. Great video, looking forward to the next one. Much Peace and Love to you and yours.💯🔥👏🤌✌️💕

[@UncleTrebor]

I completely agree!! What are some of the other channels breaking down the meanings?

[@brittanyschiesl3207]

Just found your Atlantic reaction. So now I’m starting at the beginning. I love your reactions and how you take the time to share your understanding of the lyrics. ST really is beautiful as each song can mean something different to everyone. Excited for this journey with you! 🙏🏻

[@JGotti777]

Notice that’s the lyrics say My love is an animal call cutting thru the darkness bouncing off the wall and then in Take me back to Eden there is an animal roar in the beginning calling thru the darkness and it’s bouncing off the walls. 😊This is purposeful. The details Vessel puts into these albums blow my mind. Worship 🖤

[@UncleTrebor]

Yeah gonna have to do it with headphones going forward... Thanks for watching!

[@Shawayze]

Ngl ST has helped me alot with my sobriety. So I really relate to the working on myself and being my own aqua regia

[@UncleTrebor]

Never stop pouring!! Proud of you!

[@DarkestNova556]

I took “Sugar on the blood cells, Carbon on the brain, out of Eden’s vices runnin’ through my veins.” To be referencing the consumption of alcohol but I’m not 100% convinced that explanation makes the most sense.

[@UncleTrebor]

Damn that was a dope way to describe being drunk! That was creative af!

[@Blacklotusgirl92]

Sugar on the blood cells is glucose that causes a high carbon in the brain, causing dizziness. Aqua Regia Is an acid that desolves precious metals like gold (gold is highly used in circuit boards)

[@UncleTrebor]

That was clutch!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@JewelsLeigh]

I love your insights. So many of us discovered ST and Vessel's word resonated deeply. The music has helped me heal more the last 10 months then I ever thought possible. The way he writes, so many lyrics can be about your relationship with yourself. I think you also mentioned thstbin your TMBTE reaction as well, there is a sobg on this album that isxwritten from the perspective of him talking to himself in the mirror. But i don't want to spoil which one. Im hete for your reactiobs, keep up the good work! 😊

[@UncleTrebor]

He defintely finds a way to turn music into life's language... It's been a breath of fresh air for me! Thanks for watching

[@JewelsLeigh]

@UncleTrebor I agree, I hadn't found a new band I was excited about in a decade. Since Sleep Token I've expanded my horizons again. I look forward to your videos!

[@ashes2jewels217]

I love your reactions-love it more with your son because it’s two gens, two experiences levels-you got some emotional intelligence I love listening to as I experience a whole new genre for me. Keep it up because I’m so here for it. Subscribed!

[@stephenhaw6943]

Great video and breakdown! I love this song and hearing different interpretations is one of my favorite things about music and sleep token in particular. Thanks for the vid and your perspective much love!

[@UncleTrebor]

I appreciate your view and hope you join us for the long run here!

[@luciek.7116]

I went through all your ST reaction videos this morning and please keep going. I cannot say that I agree in all the interpretations with you, but it still had me wondering about different meanings of the words for different people. And maybe that is what I like so much about their lyrics. Anyway your videos are 100% great! I literally love that you chose to focus on the lyrics and break them down into bits. To tell the world how you personally understand them. In some of the songs it gave me a new image of the meanings. Thank you for that ❤️

[@UncleTrebor]

Thats definitely what I love about Vessels writing... It's so relatable

[@darcystcorner2580]

You’ll hear those things through other songs throughout your journey. Your reactions are amazing I love the way you breakdown and interpret the lyrics

[@UncleTrebor]

Thank you! Cant wait to put it all together!

[@kristinbattin4981]

I too didn't know what maw meant 😂 please keep em coming cause us fans love this content!! Also love seeing your son on other videos. If you're taking requests, can you do RIVALS Change Things?

[@kristinbattin4981]

[@UncleTrebor]

Thanks for watching bro! Checking yo channel too!

[@Dyrtbag68]

This past year I've been listening to the song I've got the lyrics all wrong but I like your perspective very insightful now you have to do all of their songs to help me rethink everything I thought about the songs before.

[@UncleTrebor]

Let's help each other then lol

[@clintonnichols2242]

You are a pretty cool dude.

[@UncleTrebor]

Appreciate that! Thanks for watching

[@ypicart11]

🔥🔥🔥

[@UncleTrebor]

Thank you for the support! ✨✨

[@89ceilidh]

I wouldn’t worry too much about the lyrics, you need a masters in English literature to figure them out 😅

[@UncleTrebor]

Shit forreal!! Gotta jump straight from 101 to 1001 🤣
