I always took this video as Vessel literally trying to cut the girl out of his life. But, in the end, he only ended hurting himself and then starts the cycle over again.

I take this as hes being crushed by the weight of the loss and memory of someone. So he tries again and again to cut them out but the emotional hold on him is too much and he fails. So hes stuck in a cycle. The fact that hes trying so hard to forget and get rid of the pain is in itself whats perpetuating the emotional struggle.

Interesting to hear your interpretation of the video. To me him taking out a sword to go on an offensive, attempting to hold onto whatever level the relationship was at, but inevitably failing (missing in his flurry of swings) and as a result it went the other way and only ended up hurting himself even more (the suicide plunge). Thought the same on the ribbons, a token of every time he's gone through the same cycle of rage, going on the offense to rid the rage, but ends up wounding himself even more. Maybe a way of conveying the person he loved could have been so manipulative to the point they had the power to turn/twist it all around and convince that it's all on him. edit: do Missing limbs next! another one of their intimate tracks like Blood sport

I don't know why people like Sleep Token. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just a terrible person for not liking it, maybe because it's so pop-like, I just can't resonate with it. I often wonder to myself if I'm even hearing the same stuff that everyone else is hearing, because It's honestly terrible compared to a lot of other artists. I can acknowledge that the vocalist is a great singer, considering what he does, but its so eh. However, for an industry planted band, they're not the worst one out there that's for sure.

@@chromesthesia There's plenty of industry planted bands out there. Sometimes these bands already existed and then later in their careers get drawn into it. Record labels build these bands specifically to bridge the gap between metal/rock and pop. Boosts record label numbers, attracts new audiences, gets radio play and mainstreams metal bands that tour with them, usually ones that would never reach larger audiences. Sometimes it's not even the whole band, it could be just one member of the band. Bad Wolves is one of those bands, Poppy is one, Bring Me The Horizon has become one, Asking Alexandria has become one, Sleep Token is definitely one. Anonymous members, lineup changes that bring no care to fans, music that is exactly the same as what we hear on the radio everyday, it's no different than listening to LewIs Capaldi. Not saying it's a terrible thing to happen or a bad idea, but there's probably enough of them already out there, we don't necessarily need more.
