"I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre" is the most beautiful way to say "like a moth to a flame" that I've ever heard. Vessel has a way with words that I feel is unmatched.
I cannot help but watch a Sleep Token reaction video. It lets me relive the first time I ever connected with one of their songs and it's a wonderful feeling.
Funny that you'd ask if the angel depicted here was Lucifer, because it's actually the opposite. When Adam and Eve were forced to leave Eden, an angel was placed at its entrance with a flaming sword, so mankind could never return. The angel is wielding a scythe, rather than a sword, to symbolize the end of something rather than the defense of something. And in the statue's hand is THE apple. It's all a metaphor for state of mind, and love. Vessel (the singer) is saying you can't go back to the way you were. The bygone days are bygones. There's no returning to the person you used to be, only accepting who you've become, and the people around you won't always accept or acknowledge that. And, as he says, no amount of love can keep things the same way they've always been if you don't put in the effort to stay that person, stay in those relationships. You have to want to be better, or you'll never be. Ignorance is bliss, and you can't unlearn something. You can't go back to Eden. You have to move forward. Even if the people around you are full of themselves, or offer empty words, you need to do what you have to to keep yourself moving. The whole album is full of this kind of symbolism, and it's amazing.
Reminds me of gud-alim, a bull who guards the mountain gates between our reality and the other. He does the opposite of the Biblical Angel but he does guard against things crossing the barrier. In his case, he keeps malovelent spirits and such out of our realm where the angel keeps us out of their realm. Still, very similar symbolism between the Mesopotamian religion and Christianity. One of many many similarities.
if you loved take me back to eden, you're gonna love Acensionism. In my opinon it's their best song. same album. I loved your reaction. I love watching when people that have never heard sleep token have a similar reaction as me. Keep it up all have a blessed weekend!
@@ShawnandMel4Life ALSO, sleep token is BLOWING UP right now. more sleep token reactions will most likely bring ALOT of new viewers to your channel. I'm excited to see more :)
“People don’t miss their water until their well runs dry” Wow just wow. What and incredible analogy of what is going on in the song and in the world today. Great reaction!!
Think of that angel looking visualizer as…… a representation of something is both beautiful ANd lethal. It holds you in awe of its perfection and its magnificence AS it kills you.
Great reaction. I've been a ST fan since their inception back in 2016. And I can honestly say that they don't one bad song. Not one. They just don't know how to make bad material. Everything they is pure gold. Do more and you'll find out.
Actually Lead vocalist Vessel encountered in a dream an ancient deity known only as "Sleep", promising him glory and magnificence if Vessel followed Him. Hence the name sleep token and the songs are tokens to the sleep deity
I love your reaction. Most other reactors get stressed about what genre this is and you can see them trying to find the box to put it in. You guys just enjoyed it for what it is. Art.
Yassss! Sleep Token are the best band I have ever come across and the recent album is definitely my AOTY! You should go down the rabbit hole now. They’re genre bending and use elements of everything from rock, metal, RnB, trap, hip hop, gospel, and more. Even if you don’t like one song don’t write them off as every song is different and as you can see from this one they switch up completely through the songs, also don’t be thrown off by some of them being 7-8 minutes long either as it goes by far too quickly. You should start at the beginning and work your way through as they tell a story and have call backs to a lot of them. The band are anonymous, I and others know who they are but won’t reveal out of respect to the band and fans but the singer goes by the moniker Vessel, drummer, who is a beast is II, bassist III and guitarist IV. From London UK. As far as their discography goes they brought out two EPs called One and Two, then 2 singles called Jaws and The Way That You Were, then the three albums Sundowning, The Place Will Become Your Tomb, then TMBTE (Take Me Back To Eden). They’ve done five covers that I’m aware of. One being Hey Ya by OutKast, I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, Is It Really You? By Loathe and When The Party’s Over by Billie Eilish, Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. His Vocal range I believe is B ♭2 to F#5 and he has a wonderful chest voice, head voice and scream. I have never hyper fixated on a band like I have with these! Loved the react and Will subscribe and hopefully see many more. 🖤 The trilogy = Seduction. Destruction. Liberation.
Great reaction! Acensionism is another banger. So many great songs. They don't make bad music and you've only scratched the surface. Very much worth a deep dive.
My favorite thing about sleep token is to see how many genres they bring together, and how many different types of people can appreciate all the things that sleep token does. And they show you that genres don’t have to stay isolated in their own niche in order to make wonderful music.
Tou two are so much fun to watch. Ren brought me here and ST got me to subscribe. I like to watch reactions to see someone else hear stuff i like for the first time. I've got a lot to watch here!
This was a great reaction i love the meaning you got from it and i believe the Angel is the angel of death if you noticed the orbs that are floating around the figure. But also like someone else said that it could be the angel that guards the gates of eden. But keep going down the sleep token rabbit hole it's a heartbreakingi ntenense beautiful jaourney from the darkest broken parts of love and obsession to finally letting go of a lost love to finally discovering self love and moving on.
There are essentially only 2 members of Sleep Token, Vessel sings and writes the primary work on guitars bass and piano. II is the drummer. They have more musicians who play live. Thier whole body of work is impeccable
Fun fact for sleep token. They have a band for live shows, but the albums are done by just 2 people. Vessel the lead singer also plays all of the instruments excluding the drums, then the second person is the drummer who is obviously incredible
A hooded figure with a sickle and wings is usually the Angel of Death. The apple of Eden signifies the sin of man, and the forbidden fruit that forsook humanity.
Sleep Token is such a vibe Love seeing you guys get into it Their entire body of work is so diverse and just genre bending and beautiful So I hope to see you react to a whole lot more of their stuff Some of my main suggestions are The Apparition , The Offering, Vore, Sugar , Hypnosis and Jaws ..all different but all amazing
Love the callback to chokehold towards the end there there's so much nostalgia in this album it's insane i recommend going back to Sundowning album maybe on your off time and then their second album This place will become your tomb, and then a full album reaction of take me back to eden amazing album amazing trilogy they gave us. Worship!
Do more Sleep Token. My favorite songs by them is Acensionism, The Summoning, Hypnosis, Chokehold, Granite, and Jaws. I personally love this band and all of their songs. Also, look up the lore about the band. It's really interesting. It'll show a bigger picture of what the songs is about. ❤
Man…if y’all fuck with this…just know this is just a piece of their insane body of work…you’ve got a whole pandoras box of music to open up here!!! The whole album is incredible 🔥 Also seeing y’all get hyped during the breakdowns and switch ups was a lot of fun to watch!!! Great reaction!!
Sleep Token and that Orioles hat made me stop but great reaction. Ascensionism, The Apparition and Granite would be great songs to check out off the same album.
"I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre" is the most beautiful way to say "like a moth to a flame" that I've ever heard. Vessel has a way with words that I feel is unmatched.
Please do more Sleep Token!

Damn it, man. Preach! Haha. I hear your words loud and clearly
This is probably the best analysis of the song Ive read.
Wait a minute like the original SCP001?

I love to watch people’s minds being blown by Sleep Token 😆 I’m still amazed by them! If you have the chance see them live.
“People don’t miss their water until their well runs dry”
Wow just wow. What and incredible analogy of what is going on in the song and in the world today.
Great reaction!!
Thanks!
They are unbelievably gifted. Just genre bending and deep meanings. The entire album is a masterpiece
I saw sleep token in concert. They sound as good live as they do in their videos.
Sleep Token makes me wanna headbang and sob all at once.
I super appreciate y’alls reaction to this song!
Sleep token is amazing ❤
Think of that angel looking visualizer as…… a representation of something is both beautiful ANd lethal. It holds you in awe of its perfection and its magnificence AS it kills you.
Oh my God Sleep Token is one of my favorite artists ever!
I get so excited watching people's first reaction to this song. Makes me jealous.
Love all the easter eggs in this song.
Btw the “It was no accident” and “We were tangled like branches in a flood” was a reference to another one of their songs called “Chokehold”
Please more sleep token 🎶🔥every song is a masterpiece 🫶🏽
🎶music is life !!! 🥰
Acensionism is a absoolute must!! Worship!!
this is a great reaction, I hope you get to love them
Great reaction. I've been a ST fan since their inception back in 2016. And I can honestly say that they don't one bad song. Not one. They just don't know how to make bad material. Everything they is pure gold. Do more and you'll find out.

More Sleep Token. They NEVER disappoint. Trust.
Worship ❤ More Sleep Token!
If you love this, you'll love the album. Every song is so different from each other as well
Good reaction!!
Never seen you two, glad to see you enjoying sleep token. They have a wonderful sound and poetic af.
Keep on doing what you do! Love it
Thank you so much, @TheBuzzkill2020
That last 40 secs he straight up demands "take me back to Eden"!!!!!!
Loved the reaction! Its clear yall are both spirtual people. Check out Bad Omens "Death of Peace of Mind" for similar genre bending and lyricism.
Sleep Token fan here, loving your reaction!! ❤

The trilogy = Seduction. Destruction. Liberation.
I always love hearing what listeners interpret from sleep token's music 💙
The visualiser represents a sleep God, it's a part of their lore.
Great reaction! Acensionism is another banger. So many great songs. They don't make bad music and you've only scratched the surface. Very much worth a deep dive.
This whole album is like that. Its really touching. Good reaction guys ❤
“This is deep already!” My friends… This man Vessel don’t know how to be anything but as deep as the Mariana Trench 😎
I am fairly sure the figure is representing the angle of death.
My favorite thing about sleep token is to see how many genres they bring together, and how many different types of people can appreciate all the things that sleep token does. And they show you that genres don’t have to stay isolated in their own niche in order to make wonderful music.
Great reaction you 2👊🤟...Positive Mind Bullets to ya 🙏💙
Loved the energy of your reaction!
Tou two are so much fun to watch. Ren brought me here and ST got me to subscribe. I like to watch reactions to see someone else hear stuff i like for the first time. I've got a lot to watch here!
The way y'all just FLOWED with this 😍 if this one got you, you will absolutely love every single other song by them. More Sleep Token please!
Every time I recommend Sleep Token to friends who've never heard it before, they always ask me what genre they are. My response? "Yes."
This was a great reaction i love the meaning you got from it and i believe the Angel is the angel of death if you noticed the orbs that are floating around the figure. But also like someone else said that it could be the angel that guards the gates of eden. But keep going down the sleep token rabbit hole it's a heartbreakingi ntenense beautiful jaourney from the darkest broken parts of love and obsession to finally letting go of a lost love to finally discovering self love and moving on.
need more sleep token!!
Ya'll really need to check out their song, The Summoning. It's a whole nother experience
There are essentially only 2 members of Sleep Token, Vessel sings and writes the primary work on guitars bass and piano. II is the drummer. They have more musicians who play live.
Thier whole body of work is impeccable
Fun fact for sleep token. They have a band for live shows, but the albums are done by just 2 people. Vessel the lead singer also plays all of the instruments excluding the drums, then the second person is the drummer who is obviously incredible
😂😂😂😂 couldn't be further from the truth. Leo Faulkner only sings.. I would reveal more but.... #Worship
@@brandonclement but.... It's closed info and you know Vessel personally? lol
Every single track
The best sleep token songs imo are the ones that feel like the calm before the storm. Ascensionism is one of their best songs
Sleep Token is a treat. Any sleep token song is gonna be interesting tho you might like The Summoning
A hooded figure with a sickle and wings is usually the Angel of Death. The apple of Eden signifies the sin of man, and the forbidden fruit that forsook humanity.
Sleep Token is such a vibe
Love seeing you guys get into it
Their entire body of work is so diverse and just genre bending and beautiful
So I hope to see you react to a whole lot more of their stuff
Some of my main suggestions are The Apparition , The Offering, Vore, Sugar , Hypnosis and Jaws ..all different but all amazing
Love the callback to chokehold towards the end there there's so much nostalgia in this album it's insane i recommend going back to Sundowning album maybe on your off time and then their second album This place will become your tomb, and then a full album reaction of take me back to eden amazing album amazing trilogy they gave us.

The first thing angels say when you pass is: "Do not be scared"
Great reaction guys and defo do more sleep token like alkaline,euclid or the summoning

This is so awesome Bryan, thanks for introducing us to Sleep Token
Man…if y’all fuck with this…just know this is just a piece of their insane body of work…you’ve got a whole pandoras box of music to open up here!!! The whole album is incredible 🔥
Also seeing y’all get hyped during the breakdowns and switch ups was a lot of fun to watch!!! Great reaction!!
Vessel. Worship. The best.
I highly recommend more ST but that electricity you feel, it can be quite addictive so be careful.
I hope you’ve only begun going down the sleep Token rabbit hole.
Once you fall down the rabbit hole of
Sleep Token, there is absolutely no return.
Ella fue la única persona que entendió que el era Satán, el angel expulsado y que quería volver al cielo
Ascensionism easy next 🙌🙌
Ascensionism next!
Still waiting! Like it’s my most anticipated reaction.
Please more sleep tokin please please
Do atlantic by them as well
Its the deity sleep in the video
Sleep Token and that Orioles hat made me stop but great reaction. Ascensionism, The Apparition and Granite would be great songs to check out off the same album.
Acensionism next pls
Sleep token uses a lot of religious symbols from all diffrent religions but they are not religious band themself.
I thought it’s was Azrael. I’m probably wrong
I suggest Ascensionism by Sleep Token. This lyric video is great - th-cam.com/video/7BEymnJ8qiU/w-d-xo.html
Yo this was the best sleep token reaction I've seen on TH-cam.
You need to do some Slaughter to Prevail.....Bonebreaker live in Moscow. That will shake you.....unless you left YT already.
