Analyzing the concept & lyrics of this album is insane cause of the references!!
Alkaline
“She’s not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black & white
Not quite either day or night
She’s perfectly misaligned”
The ph levels of acid is anything below 7, alkaline is anything above 7. The only substance that is perfectly in between is water, which is the album’s theme. Alkaline is the 7th song on the album, and perfectly in center of the three album trilogy.
In Greek mythology, the god Hypnos is the personification of sleep who lives in a cave in the underworld only accessible through large bodies of water. The river Lethe (forgetfulness) runs from his cave is known to be where day and night meet. The river would erase the memory of whoever would drink from it.
The fact that he thought out the lyrics and album concept that far is absolute genius! 💖
That’s amazing!
I always liked the line “if anything, she’s an undiscovered element” which I thought to mean that she’s kinda unknown, or in between as far as feelings go. It wasn’t until listening a bunch that I remembered that any undiscovered element that is “found” is very highly likely to be unstable due to the high number of protons. So, I now take that line as “oh, there’s a very likely chance she’s unstable” packaged up as another lyric to display the “not acid nor alkaline” message of indifference.
Ooo I like that. Unstable. Fitting!
“Fall for Me”’s music video is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend giving it a look, keeping the lyrics in mind
Oh yes.
Second this
It is more like an art piece than a song
I literally cannot watch the video with this song - it is absolute emotional destruction.
Yes, the music video for Fall For Me is a must.
There music is like nothing I've ever heard. Their music brings me to tears....almost every time.
I am 50 yo and have loved all music and NOTHING had made me feel like ST I’ve been listening to them non stop for over a year and I NEVER get tired of it. I’ll literally miss them when I don’t hear them once a day. Worship 🖤
Vessel is an absolute genius. A brilliant, highly original songwriter, a gifted multi-instrumentalist, and imho a world-class poet on top of it all. Just stunning.
Distraction is seriously underrated imo. Vessel doesnt just have a beautiful voice, but he also always manages to sing with so much emotion every. Single. Time.
They use three female backup singers during live shows, enabling them to do these vocal layers.
Espera! (or as the fandom called them before we knew their name, the Vesselettes)
Yes they have 3 female vocal backup singers called the vesselettes
I saw them live last year and it was musically life changing!
They are called Espera. Vesselettes is a name the fans call them but the sleep token crew have said they don't like it. They call them the choir or by their name Espera.
@@joyjoyz778 I didnt realize that thanks for the information
I would definitely recommend listening to the live version of “Fall for Me” from Lafayette, it’s really beautiful with vessel’s piano and the crowd!
The love you want has a gorgeous music video
IN BEFORE THE BLOCK 😂😂
So glad to see you enjoying this amazing album and the journey. Just saw part one, LETS DO THIS!🤘🏻🤘🏻🔥🔥🥰🥰 Alkaline is my jam!!
Hope you are ready to shed tears, many songs on this album do that
LMAO to you saying “Yes babe gimme these vocals” during Distraction #EPIC 😂
Hahaha thanks for watching 🥰
I'd recommend you to give Fall for Me another go but this time with the music video because that is a whole 'nother level of heavy that I never felt in so long.
Will do!
The love you want music video explains alot, they don't have many music videos but the one for that is excellent.
Vesselettes sing with him live and they are wonderful!
Whether you interpret the lyrics based on the lore or your own experience etc...vessel has you covered.
Vessel is just pure genesis. Love each and every song theyve done and dont think they will ever produce a bad song in their existence they are just phenomenal
The love you want took time to grow on me & i adore it now. Distraction rips my heart out every time, i relate so heavily to the lyrics and the melody is so beautiful ugh LOVE
thank you for posting these all at once! i would have died having to wait
You ABSOLUTELY need to watch the music video for Fall For Me. Also the live from the room below version is vessel singing without the vocal effect over piano and is GORGEOUS
Will do!
please see the Music video of "Fall For Me" 😭
It hits different and it has Vessel in it. Same as "The Love You Want" but Fall For Me hits harder
this song was 100% meant to be viewed with the song! Even if the reaction isn't posted here, I'd definitely recommend checking it out!!
When you’re done with this album go back and watch the music videos for both The Love You Want & Fall For Me. They’re beautiful. The video for Alkaline is really cool and creepy too.
Will do!
No words.....love it. Much love again from the UK ❤🖤❤️🖤❤️
Thank you kindly
You have to watch the music videos for “The Love You Want” and “Fall for me” absolutely a must! Tells the whole story. Worship!!!!
Will do!
I will join the preverbial chorus and say that Fall For Me isn't complete without the music video. It is emotional in a simplistic way. I'm always sad while listening to Fall For Me because of the video.
& your a new found element
Great Song!
Amazing amazing, I'm so in love with this band...the lyrics, the vibe, the drums, the guitars, Vessel's voice omg I'm addicted! 🫶🏻😍
Couldn't agree more!
i’ve always liked the theory that he’s talking about two people at the same time, sleep and a love interest
I would deffo recommend watching the music videos if you haven’t already, especially to Fall For Me 🔥🙏🏾
Will do!!
I think it’s very cool how people have different ideas about what these songs mean. I have a feeling that his general aim is to talk about the form of love and self deception and elation and pain. I know people talk about sleep or some relationship but I think he’s talking about the spirits we’re “possessed” by. It’s difficult to lay out exactly what I mean. I don’t mean “The idea of love” But love as an actual spirit that moves us through life. Any who. I know I’m rambling. Great series here.
Love your thoughts! Feel free to ramble anytime!
As others have said - The music videos for Fall for Me and even The Love You Want are worth a watch (reacted to or not). Great pieces of art.
Will do!
“The Love You Want”, “Fall For Me” and “Alkaline” have a music video, I highly recommend watching them ❤
Will do!
worship
All good.
Gotta listen the fall for me and watch the music video, the combo makes for an emotional masterpiece. Feels for days!!
Will do!
It's a common consensus in the community that those of us who create music (and art in general) were so moved and inspired by ST that we picked up our instruments again after a long time. There is such a power in their music, and it rekindles even the most burnt-out artists. 🥹 I cannot WAIT for you to see them live. And I promise you won't be going alone - there are so many people you're just going to strike up conversation with in line who become friends! ❤️
I hope so🥰🥰
As a fan, listening to fall for me for the first time is like sleep token edging
Fall for Me is the most powerful of STs video. Be prepared if you view it. Vessel is in the video. But not in the way you expect. You might need something to clear your tears.
Love your reactions, Ashlena!
Did you catch that lyric in Alkaline - "it's too late for me now; I am altered," which leads directly into Distraction and the repeated line, "it's too late for me"? There are no coincidences with Vessel.
And yes, there are 3 backup singers in the live performances.
Fall For Me has such Imogen Heap vibes. I’m curious if it’s a tip of the cap with them both being from the UK. She kinda created that sound with that strange instrument.
Also so many nods to chemistry in their music so putting Alkaline in the middle and the possible tipping point of the album from acid to base is such a cool idea.
Vessel is pretty clever
I’m convinced Vessel is some sort of genius. Like a modern day Mozart 😆 Actually, ST’s songwriting reminds of classical music because many of their songs are broken down into movements that evoke different feelings and emotions
So true!!!
Hi Ashlena, loving your reactions to TPWBYT. I knew you’d love it.
I feel this is exactly what they intended, to illicit these emotions out of you (and all of us).
I didn’t get ‘Fall for Me’ until I watched the video. It’s hugely impactful and hits HARD!
‘The Love You Want’ is the most beautiful video I’ve seen and also adds to the story or Lore.
The ‘Alkaline’ video is just a banger!
W O R S H I P
I will check it out
@@ashlenamusic Yay! Let us know what you think.
So glad you loved Alkaline. Like me I think it was many people entry into sleep token m.
You will be hard pressed to find 3 songs that are just "good" nonstop bangers, guarantee vessel is his biggest critic...dudes a prodigy
Vessel is a poet
Sleep Token has 3 female backing vocalists for live shows.
That’s amazing
The love you want is one of my favorites. The video is awesome. Fall for me I think you should watch the video as well there's some more lyrics on screen not in the song
Will do
I wouldn’t say the girl who he writes these songs about is lucky considering the fact majority of ST’s songs are about a toxic relationship 😭 I mean, The Love You Want (the song you said that during) is about a relationship where Vessel and his ex had obviously split and he’s saying “you want love, I still have it.” The whole “too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally” line goes back to the “seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong” line, and he’s essentially saying “you left me, I did my best to give you that love, but it was to no avail. Try it with too many others, and you’ll just get hurt in the end”
Alkaline was the first Sleep Token song I heard and although I love pretty much everything they write, nothing has come close to Alkaline. For my tastes, it's the perfect song. The breakdown hitting in that 2nd verse never gets old.
Hot take - sleep is a metaphor for an ex partner who he was still in love with and viewed and worshiped like you would a god, hence why all the songs come across that way. I’m right, anyone else is wrong, fight me.
No need for violence here.
How do you know bro.
How can you be 💯% correct
Are you the Ex-partner.?!
Sleep is a metaphor for a lot of things, we have no evidence that it's just (or even) a girlfriend
She definitely wants him back now😂
I didn't connect with album like I did with their other 2 records. Like this, Atlantic and Alkaline were the only songs that really resonated with me.
So far the other two are my faves but I need to give this one a couple more listens
To me, the sleep stuff is not even a thought really. Tbh, it seems like an afterthought for them as well (obviously I would not know). These are about a woman and a relationship they had. Here’s my take, albeit a grim one: a sleep token is a razor. Just my thoughts, coming from an adult in their 30s. Watching sleep token reaction videos serve as a nice break from mundane office work, so thanks for these!
No problem!
Definitely go back on your own time and watch the videos for The Love You Want and Fall for Me! They tell a story and are pivotal to the songs! Pay close attention to the words that pop up on the Fall for Me video! 🫶🏻
I’ll definitely react to them 🥰
@@ashlenamusic woo-hoo! 🫶🏻
I feel like I'm going to meet my future wife over Sleep Token. I hope so at least. 😂🥰
Haha you never know!!!!
@@ashlenamusic Heheh it's funny because in part 3 I think you mention using one of their songs as a wedding song I'm like YES! That's what I'm talking about!! 🤣 Ah a boy can dream. Thanks btw for doing the full albums. Not many do but if there's one band worth watching a front to back album reaction we know it's the ST! You're killing it dear. 🙏🌵
I appreciate that xx.
