So in case you guys were wondering what the song is about: it's about a failed sui-cide attempt. Vessel is describing the aftermath of his self-harm. The blue lights of the emergency vehicle taking him to the hospital (blue lights over murder for me), the staff treating him (They talk me through the damage), family members/friends standing at his bedside (Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside), doctors bandaging the cuts on his arms (bandage up the trenches). This song describes the lowest point in his life (in the continuing story of the albums), where he'd rather just be buried under water (medicated) and not waken up. A beautiful song describing something really tragic. Vessel gets very emotional when he sings this live.
@@brandonb.5304 I get the impression that it's more than that. I interpret it as a car accident, and that it's not just a failed suicide but that someone else was killed while they survived. "They talk me through the damage. Consequence and how it's a pain they know they don't understand".. "Wash away the blood on my hands" etc.
@ I mean, you can interpret it how you want, but the line “bandage up the trenches” is pretty clearly about bandaging up cuts on his arms. Vessel also has actual self-harm scars on his forearms, so the lyrics likely come from a real-life event
Went to see them live in Birmingham last week. Atlantic is one of my favourite songs by them and my favourite songs of all time. I'm a 37 year old guy and I literally shed a tear when they started to play this. It was phenomenal the entire show from beginning to end was an experience I'll never forget
How many members are in Sleep Token? That depends. For recording purposes, there are only 2 official members. Vessel who performs all the vocals and plays all the instruments, and II, who plays all the drums and percussion, including electronic drum pads. III on bass and IV on guitar join only for live performances. That may have changed since Sleep Token were signed by RCA Records back in January 2024. There has not been any official announcement concerning III and IV, so we will have to wait for the next album, (due next year, apparently), to see who the credited musicians on the album are. Any current studio recorded Sleep Token song you listen to is just the 2 members. I'll be seeing Sleep Token tomorrow night at the O2, London, and I can't wait!! Great reaction. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
At the beginning like the first Ep it was just Vessel, He wrote and played all instruments but II joined the second EP. so all Albums, now, are Vessel and II but the have III and IV play with them live. Yes those are their names. Vessel, II, III, IV.
Sleep Token is primarily Vessel (Singer) who writes all of the music and II (drummer) who does the beats. Vessel literally writes and records the instruments/vocals and has live band members who join them for concerts :) They did a cover of Is it Really you? by Loathe I highly recommend!
Knowing sleep token is just Vessel and II still blows my mind. Vessel writes the lyrics and the music (except drums), performs the parts for the albums and has a hand in the production. Then you have II as one of the most talented drummers around right now as the cherry on top.
Thanks for reacting. I was the one, who requested it. It's one of my all time favorite. 😁 I started listening to Sleep Token when I found out they were the opening act for Linkin Park in Paris. The first song I heard from them was The Summoning. At first, I didn’t really connect with the song, but now there isn’t a single track of theirs that I don’t love. Songs like Atlantic and The Love You Want really brought me closer to the band, and now I’m absolutely obsessed with them.
I can honestly say that I've never heard a duff track from them and love everything they've brought out so far. And I can't describe how excited I am at the prospect of new music next year. Dog farts really are the worst - they've got how to make them linger for ages down to a fine art too! 😷😂
A song about suicide without saying the exact word. I’ve been there too, the hardest thing is getting rid of the stink of death. The familiar that follows you back to the light from the formless void.
You guys have to check out the sleep token drumeo interview. It’s the only recorded interview that any member of the band has ever done. The drummer (ii) talks about some of his influences and techniques, and plays through a lot of the band’s songs. They also have videos of individual song play throughs with minimal talking. He was drummer of the year and metal drummer of the year for 2023. Truly a life changing experience watching him play.
New to your channel but subbed yesterday. Love your reactions. Happy that Sleep Token found you, as they did me and so many other Followers. You will end up rinsing every-single-offering they have produced. A god-tier band. Worship! 🖤
I absolutely love and adore both of you lol. Ive subscribed to soo many new people because watching first reactions, in some strange way, allows me to experience Sleep Token for the first time again lol. I can genuinely see the love you have for them and i just adore yall❤ WORSHIP❤❤
@DoubleTakeJC Always my loves. Thank you for the work yall put it and for the love and understanding you show our boys. You 2 are 1 of my favorite go-to's🥰🥰
Great you guys are working your way through the catalogue. I think you would enjoy the love you want, missing limbs, jaws which is one of the earlier songs, the apparition, and the way that you were, another one from the early days. keep up the great work.
Please get back on Sleep Token!! I watch a ton of reaction to them and I think you guys are the best. Seriously. And you are on Dark Signs in the Sundowning record!!! Please go for it. I honestly enjoy being able to take the journey with you.
I was trying to do the coffee thingy to request more sleep token. However couldn't get it to work, would only let me pay but not request a song. So did not pay since it didnt let me add a request. Anyway awesome reaction! Gotta love those dog farts lol. I'll try the coffee app again to get those songs coming lol. Your next song in the list in order is Dark Signs and it is a great one so gonna try to get you guys back on track with album order. Can't go wrong with Atlantic though! Worship
There are 4 band members, but the guitarist and bassist only play live shows. Vessel does 99% of the writing and also records bass/guitar for albums. II does all drumming live and recording, and even thought many contest this, he has provided helped with some writing. WORSHIP
I’m seeing them tomorrow night and I can not wait! 🤙🏻 also, a recommendation…II (the drummer) has a video to their song Hypnosis, show casing his drum skills. It’s worth a watch 👌🏻
Sleep token have 4 members. Vessel who writes all of the lyrics and all of the instruments other than drums. II who writes and performs the drums and electronic beats. They are then joined live by 3 and 4 who play bass and lead guitar. The background vocals/layers are performed live by 3 girls called espara who join sleep token on tour. You should check the drumeo video of II performing 'the offering' on the drums live. Its insane.
@ I will say it’s not my favorite but I really like that song. I love metal core and death metal /core but vore to me doesn’t have great structure for what most metal bands write. Vore feels like it was done in a basement but I think that’s partially why I like it because it feels raw and almost old school at points. Like some og enter shikari or the devil wears Prada sounds almost.
@@DavidSlEePtOkEnSanchez I respect it! I didn't like it at all until one day I was feeling really down/frustrated/upset and I played the song and it just clicked like never before. Since then, I've been listening to it multiple times a day haha
I thought I hated Vore when I heard the first minute of it, but it has somehow become one of my favorite songs. I think the concept/metaphor of the song is so strong, and the way he sings “Let’s get swallowed whole” just scratches an itch in my brain. Every ST song I’ve had doubts about has eventually become something I love.
@@Little.Red628 Yessss, nowadays I'm just playing it non-stop! It really does scratch literally every itch that a song should scratch. It showcases Vessel's musical talent in every way; namely his insane vocal range and poetic lyrics. I wouldn't disagree with anyone who claims it to be a masterpiece.
50 tracks total. LFG!! [spoiler alert: New album before they headline the Download Festival next year- It only makes sense]. And, when you are finished with all 50 trakcs, it'll be time for you guys to journey back fifteen years ago to the duo-band "Blacklit Canopy". Sleep Token lite, if you will...

The beautiful thing about Sleep Token is that ppl can interpret whatever they want from the lyrics. 🙏🏽
@ I mean, you can interpret it how you want, but the line “bandage up the trenches” is pretty clearly about bandaging up cuts on his arms. Vessel also has actual self-harm scars on his forearms, so the lyrics likely come from a real-life event
@brandonb.5304 I wasn't disagreeing with you, just saying how I love that ppl can interpret whatever they feel like the lyrics mean to them.

@adamcarlton3312 Amazing first time seeing them there to, crowd was amazing, a joy to be part of a beautiful evening
Thank you England for giving the world this unbelievably amazing band!!!
This is THE Sleep Token song for me.
Brutally honest. So dark. Hauntingly beautiful. It speaks to me. It speaks to us. Worship
Worship 🙏
Vessel is an incredible musician, songwriter, and artist. II has mad skills and great feel to add so much to the landscape of the songs.
Went to see them in Manchester on Tuesday this song was the highlight for me. Goosebumps throughout

How was it? It looked incredible from their post on insta. Cant wait till I get the chance to see them
And Espera. Don't forget Espera (in the live shows) on backing vocals. 🙂
Atlantic is a must to watch a live version. It’s incredible!! Great reaction!
Chills down my spine when I saw them play this live.
Just got back in from seeing them live in Birmingham. Atlantic is my fav song and it was even better live, the raw emotion was pure ecstasy. Worship!
The drumming!❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮
I'm in love with II's drumming on this one.
Sleep Token are truly incredible. They became my favorite band so fast when I started listening to them. Just beautiful and from the heart.

Seen them in both Birmingham and Cardiff last week and bawled my eyes out both times they played this. Worship.
What a beautiful day to Worship ❤
and how in the last chorus it sounds like he's underwater! soooo good. love watching you guys discover this band!

I’ve yet seen them live at the Co-op live , Manchester on Tuesday. They were fantastic !

You guys should check out sleep token - jaws
This is what happens when you fall in love with a deity
He said there isn’t a single song I don’t like yet. Not having listened to vore yet 😂😂
Vore used to be my least favourite when I first heard it. I realised it works well depending on your mood and now it's my current most played hahaha
