I'm pretty sure Mercury is the core of a planet that had it's outer layers stripped away by the sun, so the mention of precious metals inside is cool to me
it's a reference to alchemy, because mercury was supposed to have come to earth in the form of an alchemist named hermes mercurius trismegistus.. internal transformation from symbolic lead to symbolic gold..
@anonymous angel Each of their planet named songs are based on the planets. Why do you think Jupiter has the lyrics about writing it down in a journal in 1610? lol Jupiter was discovered in 1610 by Galileo, (the song is from 'his' pov), Venus is a love song because Venus is the roman goddess of Love, Earth mentions Earthquakes, Mars is about war and soldiers (Mars is the god of war). Etc etc.
@anonymous angel you literally said "isnt it just called mercury because they named a selection of their songs after planets and the sun" so no thats not what you implied whatsoever. Each song lyrics match the planet. Its not just the song is called Mercury cause they Happened to name them after the planets. And if you learned that when you were 8 you shouldn't even be online. Go the fuck outside and learn some manners cause you can't be any older than 14 and you're a snarky little shit 🙄
@anonymous angel Apostrophe in the wrong place 😂 Whatever. I havent been a preteen in 15 years lmfao I know the lyrics cause i looked them up, I also know about the planets cause im an astrophysics student. You're still a snarky little shit that obviously has anger issues cause I barely said anything let alone anything rude and you're calling me a bitch LOL
This song is not only a song, it's a masterpiece. It's the most beautiful song I've ever heard. Sleeping at Last doesn't only make songs, these songs are masterpieces. Every single one of them. And I can't listen to those songs without thinking how beautiful they are and how beautiful music is. These songs make me feel things.
I feel like this song is talking about Mercury and its relationship with the sun: - "I'll go anywhere you want me" (Mercury is closest to the sun so its gravity to it is extremely strong.) - "All of this mess is just an attempt to know the worth of my life", "made of precious metals" (Being so close to the sun, it is constantly being blasted by solar radiation stripping its outer layers away over the eons, reveals its inner core of metals.) - "I am dissonance" (Mercury has the most "oval" orbit of all the planets and the smallest tilt....its not in "harmony" with the other planets. Dissonance could also refer to the extreme difference in temperature of the part of the planet facing the sun versus the other side which is in shadow that gets very cold.) - The part from 01:54 to 02:27 could be talking about the oval orbit. Mercury is trying to get away and closing its eyes to the suns heat, light and gravity but eventually gets sucked back to it while it swings over the end of the oval back toward the sun.
Maybe its too much physics. But mercury is the only planet affect by strange patter of perihelium shift. That is one of the proves of general relativity. Every circle of mercury he shift a little bit, that is why it is in dissonance!
Some aesthetic ideas for this song: - a street illuminated by a street lamp - a person in an airplane leaning against the window shot from an angle where their face is obscured - raging rivers - the soft glow of a neon sign from several feet away (blue) - two people passing each other in a subway
Yet, I know... If I stepped aside - *released the controls* - you would open my eyes. Begs the question: Who is being referred to in 'you would open my eyes'. Which begs the question: What is the middle ground, and why would falling in love with it cost one's soul? I believe the song clearly answers it, but I'm amazed to find so few who see it.
God, I love Sleeping at Last so much. They make such beautiful music and it's all so inspiring. Love it. Nice lyric video btw, very pretty. Matches the song well.
I am dissonance waiting to be pulled swiftly into tune. This band has helped heavily in my transition to self acceptance and my journey into accepting the ways of the world. Thank you for such beautiful celestial truths set to music
Sometimes I go to the comments of SAL songs because I feel lonely. Then I feel less alone. If you're seeing this comment, and are in a rough time in life, please take it as a sign that I see you and I'm sitting with you through cyberspace
Dani T but honestly I feel kinda bad about it cuz SAL definitelyyy deserves more recognition, like this song is so perfect in so many ways I can’t describe 😭
This is the kind of poetry that I honestly couldn’t explain the meaning of full in words. I just sort of understand it like someone airdropped it to my soul.
I am just totally in love with how genius that man is, his every song you can use as a metaphore for life and even the exact planet, I listen to him 2 years and everytime I listen his songs I always find new connections and beauty I didn't see and how he can bring life into peaces of rocks and gravity
I wish so badly that our generation would listen to this kind of music instead of the type they listen to now. I’m not saying it’s bad I just think these types of songs would have a tremendous impact in how our people act today.
i’m 14, and i LOVE this type of music!! it might be because i’m a contemporary dancer looking for songs to dance to but sleeping at last is an amazing group :)
When everyone has some deep meaning attached to this song and all you can think of is your writer's block and how you caused it by giving your characters families who care if they get hurt
Sleeping at last are so fucking talented it’s unbelievable. THE LYRICS, THE INSTRUMENTS AND VOCALS everything about their music is just music that has come straight from the soul.
I have a few "friends" who don't even care about me, same with my parents. I have no one to turn to when I'm feeling down, and I'm feeling down pretty all the time. I cry every day because I am helpless and weak, and I hate myself, hate my personality, hate how I look, hate how lazy I am yet I have no energy to do anything even if I wanted, I hate my health and hormonal problems, I hate just everything about myself. Every night when I go to bed I pray to wake up as a different person, although I know it will never happen, and I cry because I don't want to wake up tomorrow morning. I wish I could write my final exams well, but I know I'm too stupid and lazy. But... When I hear this song - I smile. Thank you, Sleeping At Last.
I'm sorry you have to go through this, we have all put into this earth for a reason. Even though you may ask "What's the point?", life is full of hardships, many of us are suffering. If life's too hard on you, try writing, or making a journal. It helps a lot. You can also talk to me in this time of crisis. My instagram is; cherry.peachy_
Hi l love you and I think you are so beautiful and I feel like you write a lot of poetry. I'm not sure how old you are, but I do know how you feel, I was there, I met Jesus and he changed my life. I'm still learning to love myself and I think you should read psalms, 139 I think it would really impact you, it's like a love story from the Elohim (creator) to you, dont forget Jesus loves every single bit of you. And write me back.
The way i felt this song.. Mercury is just the name of the song, Ryan is talking to God. And our purpose in earth. We don't belong here, we were sent here for a reason and for a short time and he's saying he's desperate finding himself, watching for signals to guide him, the line "I Will go anyway you want" just guide me. And in the middle of all this chaos.. He loved it here. ❤️
aesthetics: 1am on a cold winter night, moonlight bouncing off the snow, glittering fool's gold, infinitely dark seas, your breath fogging in the air, darkened houses, the quiet of an empty street, blue periwinkles blooming on a background of gray leaves, the knowledge that no one in the whole world knows where you are and what you're doing right now, a long road lit only by yellow streetlights, gleaming opals in grayscale, almost buried by the earth personal aesthetic: winter and the cold of being alone, tempered only by the knowledge that you are completely and truly free. nobody knows where you are, or what you're doing in the whole world, and you could run free and just disappear and it is a beautiful and terrible realization
this is like the only composer(because he's was on a band but they disbanded) that i can't tell my classmates and they probably won't see this person because he is underrated.
(Warning - this is long. I’ll probably delete this later) I really like this, as a mythology nerd and because science is cool. Also because I heavily relate so I wanted to word vomit and basically say what this song meant to me (to me don’t attack me) Mercury (or Hermes) is the Roman (Hermes is greek) god of travelling, messengers and thievery alongside other things. This song in my eyes is about a journey to find a purpose in life. ‘I talk in circles’ and other lines make it seem like the journey here is pointless at the beginning. (Verse 1&2 of the song btw) Verse 3&4 (no one can unring this bell…. Anywhere you want me) the feeling of being lost is really big here. But they’re still travelling through life even though they’re not sure what they’re after yet. Maybe it shows they don’t have a choice in moving forward. (Same) In verse 5 talks about how they think they try too hard getting what they desire. (In my case it’s unconditional love, acceptance and basically just overachieving and overwhelming myself to get this) Verse 6 talks about how they feel like if they stop trying so hard they may find something. Or perhaps they’ve come to some sort of realisation (mine was realising how I wouldn’t get what I desired because I kept putting unreasonable standards on everything) maybe they’ve found progress in what they’re trying to find. The rest of the song highlights the journey they’re going to find worth and self worth. They’re still going through it) Mercury itself is a planet who (as another commenter has said) had its outer layers stripped by the sun (or one could say stolen) to reveal metals. I feel like that’s really cool, especially considering Mercury is the god of thieves and travellers and this song is about someone on a journey. Maybe those ‘precious metals’ are symbolic of self worth, love or whatever they feel was under the surface. Sorry I nerded out there? This is my fav song so congratulations if you read this. Lmao. Just needed to let it out i guess.
I listened to this song during my 21st birthday which was last november 3 and I can never forget the way it inspired me, motivited me amidst all the mess and the stagnant state my life is in atm. I cried the whole morninggg!! hope I can go back to this comment after a year or two and I hope by then I have learned to love myself and i am taking the path i have always wanted for myself. Merry Christmas to all!!!
Despite what interpretations may exist about the lyrics, this song is about releasing control of your life into God’s hands and letting Him take over. It’s no secret that Ryan O’Neal is a devout Christian. I had the pleasure of seeing SAL back in the late 90’s when they were still a 3-piece band. They’re from a few towns away from where I grew up in Illinois. He makes some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
I love the way it references God and His control; “and I know the further I go, the harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed” “And I know, if I stepped aside, released the controls You would open my eyes”
“All of this mess, is just my attempt to find the worth of my life” My entire life I have viewed my self worth through the eyes of others. I have dedicated myself entirely to my friends and partners. I recently went through a very bad break up, and thanks to Sleeping At Last, I am finally realizing that I am worthy of my own love. “The harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed”. I would never walk away or let go. I would fight for a person until I had nothing left. I’m finally learning to let go, and let the universe guide me, instead of fighting it. Thank you, for saving my life.
Rows of houses Sound asleep Only street lights Notice me I am desperate If nothing else In a holding pattern To find myself I talk in circles I talk in circles I watch for signals For a clue How to feel different How to feel new Like science fiction Bending truth No one can unring this bell Unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new God knows, I am dissonance Waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune I'll go anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want me I'll go anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want me I'll go anywhere you want Anywhere you want Anywhere you want me I'll go anywhere you want Anywhere you want me I know the further I go The harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed And somehow I've fallen in love With this middle ground at the cost of my soul Yet I know if I stepped aside Released the controls, you would open my eyes That somehow, all of this mess is just my attempt to know the worth of my life Made of precious metals Precious metals Precious metals inside Made of precious metals Precious metals Precious metals inside Made of precious metals Precious metals Precious metals Precious metals Precious metals (I'll go anywhere you want, anywhere you want, anywhere you want me) (I'll go anywhere you want, anywhere you want me)
This song reminds me of this time last year when I was in a very dark place. I thought I had met my soul mate in 2019 but it was not meant to be. Then I heard this track for the first time and it really helped me but listening to it now has made me sad again.
oh i absoLUTELY made this comment because i was having an episode; it's moreso songs you Shouldn't listen to during a break bc it will add +1 psychosis like it's a stat bonus per each listen But you likely will listen regardless bc It Fucking Sounds Good!!!
so i first discovered this song in a ship video i think a couple years back and i fell in love with it immediately. even tho its mainly supposed to be about planets and sh*t, i analyze it as being about love. the lyrics, "no one can unring this bell, unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new" make me thing of someone falling deeply in love with someone else and they can't get their love out of their head. other lyrics like, "i am dissonance waiting to be pulled into tune" and "i watch for signals, for a clue, how to feel different, how to feel new" and especially "somehow, all of this mess is just my attempt to know the worth of my life" indicate that this person has been through some heartbreak before so they may have a hard time opening up to the person they're in love with. even with their past baggage however, this person is willing to do anything for their new love which is shown in the lyrics, "ill go anywhere you want me". this person also knows that this love will be different which is shown in the lyrics, "i stepped aside released the controls, you would open my eyes". and despite love hurting a lot of the time, it is still made of something precious in my opinion which is why the precious metals also contributes to this. either way, everyone interprets things differently but this will definitely be one of my wedding songs haha (if i have one, hopefully i do). anyway, enjoy this mediocre analogy lmao
I'm pretty sure Mercury is the core of a planet that had it's outer layers stripped away by the sun, so the mention of precious metals inside is cool to me
Mars _The_Spooky_Martian This just gave this song even more meaning holy crap, thank you for being smart.

You should listen to their song Saturn
Amen
every song by SAL is the best tho
Touch is also a masterpiece
Yes absolutely true...
Its been months since I listened to them, its that time again
Right like " welp. Here comes the darkness again. See you again next year happiness.
Yup! I’m back and ready
Damn so relatable
Dandelion hands, flatsound, hotel books, anyone?
omg i feel the same
So very underrated songs.
So true 🧐
facts
I feel like this song is talking about Mercury and its relationship with the sun:
- "I'll go anywhere you want me" (Mercury is closest to the sun so its gravity to it is extremely strong.)
- "All of this mess is just an attempt to know the worth of my life", "made of precious metals" (Being so close to the sun, it is constantly being blasted by solar radiation stripping its outer layers away over the eons, reveals its inner core of metals.)
- "I am dissonance" (Mercury has the most "oval" orbit of all the planets and the smallest tilt....its not in "harmony" with the other planets. Dissonance could also refer to the extreme difference in temperature of the part of the planet facing the sun versus the other side which is in shadow that gets very cold.)
- The part from 01:54 to 02:27 could be talking about the oval orbit. Mercury is trying to get away and closing its eyes to the suns heat, light and gravity but eventually gets sucked back to it while it swings over the end of the oval back toward the sun.
"I talk in circles" could also be a reference to its actual orbit

@@bug724 yes, absolutely!!
@kiwi bird I also did Pluto
@@bug724 alright but where can i find these?
'Somehow I've fallen in love with this middle ground at the cost of my soul'
That's the part for me...
Yet, I know... If I stepped aside - *released the controls* - you would open my eyes.
Begs the question: Who is being referred to in 'you would open my eyes'. Which begs the question: What is the middle ground, and why would falling in love with it cost one's soul?
I believe the song clearly answers it, but I'm amazed to find so few who see it.
I feel like their giving each planet its own personalty, and their all so beautiful...
God, I love Sleeping at Last so much. They make such beautiful music and it's all so inspiring. Love it.
Nice lyric video btw, very pretty. Matches the song well.
i think its one person
Yes me too...
alexander buttercup it is one person (Ryan O’Neill) but it used to be more people hence who it’s a band

i totally agree with you
I honestly feel proud of myself being a 17 y/o who listens to sleeping at last
i’m 14, and i LOVE this type of music!! it might be because i’m a contemporary dancer looking for songs to dance to but sleeping at last is an amazing group :)
Im 13 and it was so grateful that i found SAL and will growing up with this kind of songs ❤❤

Thana oh my gosh you’re SO RIGHT 😲🤣👍
MOOD. Sleeping At Last make such good character songs
Roman God of travelers..
Sleeping at last are so fucking talented it’s unbelievable. THE LYRICS, THE INSTRUMENTS AND VOCALS everything about their music is just music that has come straight from the soul.

"I'll go anywhere you want me"
Its like he's surrendering to the universe.. Afterall, fighting fate is just too exhausting..
Legendary
This is exactly how I proceed... I give myself up to the universe, the fate and the way and they will take me wherever it takes, wherever I have to be

honestly one of my favorite lines in a song ever.
this song kills me
Phan Boy Padilla-Hecox the good way tho
I love space, and Sleeping at Last, and these two things together is love 🌌 And the songs match the planets

Mr. Indie ❣️
someone already beat me to my ambition of a solar system album
Go for it anyway friend. There's nothing new under the sun, but I'd you have something to say,...
so aesthetic
l u n a t i c for real *sleeping at last* is my aesthetic
Fuck you
WHY IS EVERY SONG IN THIS ALBUM SO GOOD
HERMES, God of Thievery and Transitions
"i'll go anywhere you want me" he's also the messenger god
I love the way it references God and His control;
“and I know the further I go, the harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed”
“And I know, if I stepped aside, released the controls You would open my eyes”
I will never not break down while listening to sleeping at last's songs :')
Mercury: **exists**
Virgo: *This is a free real estate, Guys.*
This is one of my favorite songs
Any1 here in 2021?
Me :3
Nearly 2022 now
Sleeping at last literally hits my soul.
Love this song so much; every human aware of our brokenness before God can relate easily to this.
what a lovely comment
That's what I thought of this song too.
exactly
Wow! The beginning is legendary.
sleeping at last never fails to make me cry like a baby
this song makes me feel things that i can't put into words
they are underrated , but so beautiful why does everyone i know not know them all of their songs are works of arts to make a huge masterpieces
“All of this mess, is just my attempt to find the worth of my life”
My entire life I have viewed my self worth through the eyes of others. I have dedicated myself entirely to my friends and partners. I recently went through a very bad break up, and thanks to Sleeping At Last, I am finally realizing that I am worthy of my own love.
“The harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed”. I would never walk away or let go. I would fight for a person until I had nothing left. I’m finally learning to let go, and let the universe guide me, instead of fighting it. Thank you, for saving my life.
Omg I needed to read this... bc here I am understood... my very thoughts... my experiences.. I am not alone.. oh bless you.... bless you...
"i'll go anywhere you want me"
I can’t count the time i have listen to this song she took my heart
Only if the world would hear their beautiful songs 🥺❤
this song makes me quiet
Why did i listen to this song every single day ? Well this is just masterpiece
This song is so beautiful.... Thank you so much
This masterpiece is so underrated!!
Listening to Sleeping at last song, we fear it will be the last song since they make someone feel serene.
🙂😊
Rows of houses
Sound asleep
Only street lights
Notice me
I am desperate
If nothing else
In a holding pattern
To find myself
I talk in circles
I talk in circles
I watch for signals
For a clue
How to feel different
How to feel new
Like science fiction
Bending truth
No one can unring this bell
Unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new
God knows, I am dissonance
Waiting to be swiftly pulled into tune
I'll go anywhere you want
Anywhere you want
Anywhere you want me
I'll go anywhere you want
Anywhere you want
Anywhere you want me
I'll go anywhere you want
Anywhere you want
Anywhere you want me
I'll go anywhere you want
Anywhere you want me
I know the further I go
The harder I try, only keeps my eyes closed
And somehow I've fallen in love
With this middle ground at the cost of my soul
Yet I know if I stepped aside
Released the controls, you would open my eyes
That somehow, all of this mess is just my attempt to know the worth of my life
Made of precious metals
Precious metals
Precious metals inside
Made of precious metals
Precious metals
Precious metals inside
Made of precious metals
Precious metals
Precious metals
Precious metals
Precious metals
(I'll go anywhere you want, anywhere you want, anywhere you want me)
(I'll go anywhere you want, anywhere you want me)
This song reminds me of this time last year when I was in a very dark place. I thought I had met my soul mate in 2019 but it was not meant to be. Then I heard this track for the first time and it really helped me but listening to it now has made me sad again.
Just perfect 💫
i want to meet all the people who listings to this
i feel like i know them well
i feel like they're my true friends !!
This song just speaks to my heart and soul
i think this is my favourite song
나만두 졸려서 비몽사몽이었는데 첫 소절 듣자마자 소름돋아서 잠 깼다 다시 만두가게 달려야겠다
trust me if I find a stranger and happens to know this song I would definitely cry
❤💛 Getting such a strong Tony Stark vibe.
songs to listen to during a psychotic break (personally tested and proven)
oh i absoLUTELY made this comment because i was having an episode; it's moreso songs you Shouldn't listen to during a break bc it will add +1 psychosis like it's a stat bonus per each listen But you likely will listen regardless bc It Fucking Sounds Good!!!
This Song makes me cry
if i could fit the meaning of love in a music band, i would totally choose sleeping at last.
Cette chanson juste après "Saturne" magnifique
"four" et "body" sont juste des tueries je m'en lasse pas de les écouter.
I'm so lucky to have found this!!!!!! 🎼🎧📻😁
This song. I remember my passed wifes. And a someday I go where they live, in another life....
Mercurio!!!!!!BELLA voce💜
Thank you.
omg... I'm a Gemini and mercury is my planet and I relate this to song so much
I_am_ boring hahaha I always connect the songs with astrology too!
I'm Virgo and my ruling planet is Mercury, too!
Well, I'm a Scorpio. Does that mean I don't care about star signs?
@ hey a fellow scorpio! 🦂♏
This is honestly the SAL song I relate most to
Urgh this song is so beautiful 😍 😭
"All of this mess is just an attempt to know the worth of my life"
so i first discovered this song in a ship video i think a couple years back and i fell in love with it immediately. even tho its mainly supposed to be about planets and sh*t, i analyze it as being about love. the lyrics, "no one can unring this bell, unsound this alarm, unbreak my heart new" make me thing of someone falling deeply in love with someone else and they can't get their love out of their head. other lyrics like, "i am dissonance waiting to be pulled into tune" and "i watch for signals, for a clue, how to feel different, how to feel new" and especially "somehow, all of this mess is just my attempt to know the worth of my life" indicate that this person has been through some heartbreak before so they may have a hard time opening up to the person they're in love with. even with their past baggage however, this person is willing to do anything for their new love which is shown in the lyrics, "ill go anywhere you want me". this person also knows that this love will be different which is shown in the lyrics, "i stepped aside
released the controls, you would open my eyes". and despite love hurting a lot of the time, it is still made of something precious in my opinion which is why the precious metals also contributes to this. either way, everyone interprets things differently but this will definitely be one of my wedding songs haha (if i have one, hopefully i do). anyway, enjoy this mediocre analogy lmao
What ship was it?
Not to be trans on main but "and somehow - Ive fallen in love with this middle ground, *at the cost of my soul"* hits QUITE hard
The rest of the song hits very hard because its a musical crisis of self and discovery but this line specifically sticks out to me lmao.
@@jjju3 sameeeeeeeeeeeeee they are a blessing to me
It’s okay to occupy space. You are loved 💗
맨두로서 한마디 이건 쩐다 레잔드 후후
It’s a poem put to a tune
This truly gives me Narnia vibes
Me too :"
No...this song has no right to be so powerful...this song cuts though me like a hot knife through butter...😣😭
Anyone else cry like a little bitch when they hear these songs? No matter how many times I listen, I cry like a baby. It's crazy.
Yes, the same thing is happening to me. I can't stop crying when I hear this song. It captures the essence of my soul!!!
listened to this while reading the part where dally dies in the outsiders in year 7 and ive never listened to this song the same since
It’s like telling me that everything is going to be okay
만두가게에서 보고 왔는데 첫 소절 듣자마자 소름 돋았다
love it
maraming salamat sleeping atlast. 5 years nakong baliw sayo. love you
“and somehow all of this mess is just my attempt to know the worth of my life”
