I interpreted "I'll turn my walls to gold" as a reference to Midas. Midas wished that he could turn anything he touches to gold. His wish was granted, but he soon discovered he couldn't turn it off -- he could not touch anything, not even food or drink, without turning it to gold. I think Vessel is saying he will sacrifice everything around him to bring his lover back, even if he can't have her.
Your excitement is just infectious, my man. I love when I open TH-cam and find a new reaction, but I'm sad we're in the final stretch. I think this album will connect a lot of dots from the previous albums, and even those within this album. For example, the meaning of the gold line might come to make sense once you listen to Aqua Regia. Anyway, amazing reaction and analysis as always!
Jango, this song dropped out of NOWHERE on the first full moon of 2023. I’ll never forget when a random new song just popped up out of thin air. This song will always be special to me for that reason.
Yes! I woke up, checked TH-cam and out of nowhere new Sleep Token. I was like WTF? I listened to Chokehold 40+ times that day and the next day I saw them live. And they opened with Chokehold. It was too perfect ❤ In December I will see them the THIRD time this year. I'm so damn lucky to be alive for this 🙌
Volume all the way tf UP on ALL of TMBTE!!! Can't express enough how thankful I am to have found your channel, dude. It's so nice to see other people who obsess about music as much as I do LOL. Totally separate thought and genre and vibe - but...have you ever dove into Twenty One Pilots? Their lore is also RIDICULOUS, mysterious, and complex.
I can’t wait to watch you go through this album. It’s got several moments that hit the feels extremely hard. I’d be surprised if you don’t shed a tear a few times.
Woohoo! I thought we'd have to wait for weeks. I'm thrilled that it's starting now. It's been quite a journey so far. And it's fantastic that you've incorporated my idea of combining two songs in one video for the ones you've already listened to 🙌 And yes, Sleep Token released Elden Ring bosses for the upcoming DLC and no one noticed 😅 But please don't forget to react to"Bloodsport (from the room below)" - the official video with Vessel on the piano. I only shed tears during the first 30 times I watched it 🫣
you had me laughing about my last name 😂 it’s okay not many people pronounce it right on the first go lol (it’s pronounced like rye-card) thanks for another great reaction! this was the first single they dropped for the album out of nowhere and as soon as I heard it I was like damn… this is about to be album of the year I can feel it lol
Thank you for taking us with you! I've enjoyed the journey and am so excited for this album. I love the other reactions so much and I can't wait to follow you down the Rabbit hole some more. This is such a great album, hands down AOTY to me. I think Vessel is definitely in a better place now .... there's actually video of him joking on stage (playing something on the keyboard that's NOT Sleep Token, giggling then launching into Rain) and smiling through the mask. It's awesome 😎 He holds that last note live in concert too!!! He's great 👍 Let's goooo....love this album and know you will too! ❤ Worship ❤
Oh, you mean the day he played the intro of "bring me to life" by Evanescence to troll the audience? I whish I had been there, it was hilarious. It so good to see him in a playfull, happy mode on stage I hope that whatever happend in his life lately to make him happier continues, he sure deserves it.
@@Calirohe Yes, I loved that... someone said "oh, Vessel got jokes" and then I realized he was playing Evanescence right before he giggled and launched into Rain. Yeah, I would love to see them live, but I live in southern Alabama and the closest they're going to be to me is St Louis and that's way too far. So, I've been watching any live footage I can. I love how he dances around when the beat drops 😂😂🤘 And yeah, he definitely deserves to be happy, this has been a wildly successful album for them and I'm happy to see it. Love the smile 😁 ❤️ Worship ❤️
I like how Sundowing ends with piano, TPWBYT starts with piano, then TPWBYT ends with kind of a static electronic sound and TMBTE starts with a electronic static sound too
TMBTE ends with piano, too. Specifically, the same melody that Sundowning starts with. They really wanted all three albums to connect together seamlessly.
Oh, that did not take long, nice! I am pumped for the last (so far) chapter of the Sleep Token's adventure, so let's fucking gooooo! (as would say someone that you should really listen to in the near future :p ) Interpretation-wise, I think that "I'd turn my walls to gold to bring you home again" means that he is ready to do anything for his love to come back, although i still have no clue as to why Jericho is called Jericho and the walls might be a reference to either the song or the story. Possibly. Maybe. Or maybe not, as usual it is only wild speculation (I never, ever, brainstormed that much on a band's lyrics, Vessel really has a enticing writting style ^^) Also: Elden Ring, Soulsborne? a man of taste, I see :p
Yesss!!! I was waiting for this to start! Can’t wait to see your thoughts after this album. I’m envious that you get to listen to this for the first time… it’s mind blowing. 🙏🏼💜 Worship.
Loving your ST reactions, thanks. I was pretty sure you wouldn't be able to wait too long before starting TMBTE 😁 Now you can also listen to the Chokehold cover Will Ramos (of Lorna Shore) did. He did an awesome job IMO, keeping some of Vessel's sounds/techniques while adding his own spin. He also covered Hypnosis. Oh, and if you're into reactions 😛 Chris Liepe did a reaction to Will singing Chokehold, and then the two of them - along with the Charismatic Voice - did a ST reaction together. Great fun!
The line "I'd turn my walls to gold to bring you home again" could be directed to either Vessel's partner or to Sleep. Either enticing his partner back by turning the home into a Palace or addressing Sleep and suggesting he'd turn his home into a Temple. Places of worship tend to be lavishly decorated, usually with gold. Who knows!!😅 Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I'm excited for the next entry (since you've already gone through The Summoning). The Summoning introduced me to Sleep Token too, but Granite cemented it. Worship.
The Summoning is the song that made this band click for me, but Chokehold has found such a special place in my heart. It’s gorgeous even when it’s being heavy. So excited that you’re experiencing Eden now. Have loved your journey through their music and lyrics. 😊
I want to point out that Sleep is a HE, not a she. From the only interview Vessel ever did: “He is everywhere, at all times. Vessel encountered Sleep in a dream, with promise of glory and magnificence if Vessel followed Him. The UK is old, centuries of lore lay buried here. This land has power, if only you knew how to use it.”
Just rewatched. Regarding the turning the walls to gold section - hopefully not a spoiler, but there's another song on the album called Aqua Regia, and the meaning comes up as "a mixture of concentrated nitric and hydrochloric acids. It is a highly corrosive liquid that will dissolve gold and other resistant substances." Might have some relation?
Maybe it's against his holy duty to be constantly awake. Sleep came to him in a dream. He should be sleep to communicate with Sleep. That's how i interpreted it lol
I really hope you see this comment and think about it a bit because I feel like it might clear up some confusion you have sometimes. MY TAKE - sleep IS his ex, his toxic relationship with this person, SHE is sleep and he worships her no matter what. I think that take makes it all make sense, would love to hear how you feel on that, when you say I feel like he’s talking to sleep, she’s one and the same person.
Definitely an interesting take. Though some songs seem to show him letting go of one relationship and looking toward another. Which is why I think they may be two different entities or otherwise phases of his life. 🤟
You are by far my favorite reactor, I've loved following you down this sleep token rabbit hole and I thank you for making awesome content
Wow, thank you so much 🤟😀

Volume.. volume always the way the f up... I second that!
If the db don't rattle your skull, are you really even listening? 🤟😀
I fell down on my knees and wept the first time I heard Euclid. Prepare yourself, brother.
Worship.
Don't apologize the videos can be as long as you want
"Like lovers entwined. We tangle endlessly"

Totally separate thought and genre and vibe - but...have you ever dove into Twenty One Pilots? Their lore is also RIDICULOUS, mysterious, and complex.
Thank you for the kind words 🤟. I've heard a few twenty one pilots songs. Vibed on Heathens for a while way back when
I can’t wait to watch you go through this album. It’s got several moments that hit the feels extremely hard. I’d be surprised if you don’t shed a tear a few times.
Are you really ok 💔😭
Woohoo! I thought we'd have to wait for weeks. I'm thrilled that it's starting now. It's been quite a journey so far.

I am buckled in and ready for this ride 😎
Thanks for including the summoning lyrics in this I'm glad you either used my idea or had already planned on doing that!

Holy hell. I never even thought about that. These guys are geniuses.
Now, that is freaking cool!
TMBTE ends with piano, too. Specifically, the same melody that Sundowning starts with. They really wanted all three albums to connect together seamlessly.
@@clintbeastwood5116 yeah I know... I just didnt want to spoil it 👀
@@zeru1175It's not much of a spoiler, I don't think. The real spoiler is the contents of the songs themselves.

IT BEGINS, LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Been waiting for these, you're gonna love EVERY, LAST, ONE.

Jericho. Walls.
I'm excited for the next entry (since you've already gone through The Summoning). The Summoning introduced me to Sleep Token too, but Granite cemented it. Worship.
I think Vessels got us all in a chokehold ❤ love seeing your reaction.
The Summoning is the song that made this band click for me, but Chokehold has found such a special place in my heart. It’s gorgeous even when it’s being heavy. So excited that you’re experiencing Eden now. Have loved your journey through their music and lyrics. 😊
Let's get to 1000 almost there. Love your videos
I'm so excited 🙌🖤 looking forward to what you think of this album now that you've done the others
Wooooooo!!! 🎉 Worship 🖤 I just love your reactions to Sleep Token and you’ve gotten me to fall even more in love with my favorite band.
I want to point out that Sleep is a HE, not a she.
From the only interview Vessel ever did: “He is everywhere, at all times. Vessel encountered Sleep in a dream, with promise of glory and magnificence if Vessel followed Him. The UK is old, centuries of lore lay buried here. This land has power, if only you knew how to use it.”
Those senheiser 201's or whatever theyre called, i had them yeats ago they were so good for really cheap, light, durable, miss them.
Your reaction to the creature made me laugh out loud around 1am
Thank you so much for this!!! I cant find your patreon!
Chokehold!! Let’s goo!
ALSOOO, I'd be failing if i didn't request for you to react to Will Ramos' (from Lorna Shore) cover of Chokehold 👀👀👀
Let’s goooooo 🙌🏼

It is a highly corrosive liquid that will dissolve gold and other resistant substances." Might have some relation?
I believe this whole album, or almost the entire thing, talks about his relation with Sleep. I believe it's not a healthy relationship either
Maybe it's against his holy duty to be constantly awake. Sleep came to him in a dream. He should be sleep to communicate with Sleep. That's how i interpreted it lol
