man sleep token. means so much to me. this song came out and i just went "fucking been there brother". They literally saved my life with there music. I remember doctors asking me questions and my family standing around me after a suicide attempt and the amount of alchohol and cocaine in my system they literally could not understand how i was alive. this band is a sonic hug. first time i heard this band i broke down and let my soul out. protect this band at all costs.
There are several Live Photos with specific lighting that show the evidence of that on his arms. Truly heartbreaking. We are very lucky to have this man still in our world.
For me it is one of Sleep Token's most beautiful and emotional songs! Goosebumps...every single time.. Almost only two weeks left...can't wait to enjoy it live again 🙏🥰 Worship 🖤
This is the opener to my favorite album of all time. The ocean theme you mentioned continues throughout the entire album and I think it’s absolutely perfect. With the overall theme of the album being a metaphor for the narrator ‘sinking’ deeper into the ocean as he sinks into depression and deals with loss and other hardships. To me, every single word spoken and every note on this album is perfect. I’ve never had an album have such an emotional impact on me (still when I listen to this day). Not only is the entire album worth listening to, every song is worth diving deep into the lyrics to understand what it’s truly about. I actually think that goes for every sleep token song but this album especially
The reference to the whale drop throughout the albums artwork, and the nautical numbers that actually were the location of an actual whale drop incident. TPWBYT is deep and deeper.
Koi No Yokan, rocking the goated Deftones as usually. Always enjoy y’all reacting to my favorite band in the world, nobody better than Sleep Token. Heard this song live finally and had ya boi in actual tears. Further in-depth analysis will make you realize he’s talking about a failed suicide attempt with loved one’s surrounding his bedside
One of my fave ST songs so poignant and gorgeous. Makes me emotional every time, I miss my only son I lost in 2015 and think of his mental/emotional struggles every time I hear this song and yet how beautiful his soul was.
So, this is what the story is telling behind the deep lyrics. Speculated to be about self harm and a suicide attempt (“don’t wake me up”), either by cutting, drowning, or both (although drowning may be metaphorical). The lyrics reference water, flooding, drowning, blood, and cut wounds (“bandage up the trenches”). It seems to then go on to describe the aftermath of surviving the attempt, with hospital staff or possibly family members speaking to the victim: “They talk me through the damage, consequence And how it’s a pain they know they don’t understand Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside” Another great reaction! Happy Holidays to you both
If you guys want to be hear their bangers, in order I would recommend "The Apparition" , Alkaline, and the offering. So many good songs to be heard tho
[Verse 1] Call me when they bury bodies underwater It's blue light over murder for me Crumble like a temple, built from future daughters To wasteland when the oceans recede Merry in the morning, earn your bitter fodder It's easier to try not to eat So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches Anything to get me to sleep [Verse 2] I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets Just orbiting the vacuum I am They talk me through the damage, consequence And how it's a pain they know they don't understand Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside I'm trying not to crush into sand So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing Wash away the blood on my hands [Verse 3] Call me when they bury bodies underwater It's blue light over murder for me Crumble like a temple built from future daughters To wasteland when the oceans recede [Outro] Don't wake me Don't wake me Don't wake me up Don't you wake me up Don't wake me Don't wake me Don't wake me up
I hate that Spotify says "marry in the morning, earn your bitter father" like what??? 😂 thank you for posting the proper lyrics. I'm always the first in the comments if I see a reaction to a lyric video that's wrong 😅✨️ worship 🫶🏻
@carriefish, thank you 😊. I actually came across a site that not only had the marry and father mistakes but it also credited the songwriting to Gregoriy Fadeev!? Whoever that is, it's not Vessel and is not listed as songwriter for Atlantic on any other site! Stay safe 🤘 ✌️. Worship.
My favourite tune by sleeptoken. it got Everything except for the harsh vocals but i really feel like the atmosphere and drums give that heavy feeling instead of having heavy screams! Filled with emotions. Can't wait till u do Telemores from the same album. if you like the drums here, wait till the end of Telemores, ouiioiiiiiiiii! peace and love from norway
Crazy choice for an album opener, right? It sets the perfect tone for the rest of the track list, but it could have easily gone the other way for a lesser band. Total masterpiece.

I don't know you brother, but I hope you're in a much better place now. Music is a refuge and Sleep Token is a spectacular one at that.
@@mariocastillo8334 much better, married now! life is great now
❤
@@kyleburns1340 just checking on you. You still good?
The lyrics suggest this is the aftermath of an unaliving attempt. Love y'all's reactions
that's sad af
This song hits differently if you've been in the guarded room with bars on the windows with no blankets.
I always saw it as he was in a car accident and his wife and daughter to be didn’t make it.
That's how I'd always interpreted it
There are several Live Photos with specific lighting that show the evidence of that on his arms. Truly heartbreaking. We are very lucky to have this man still in our world.
This is their most beautiful and haunting song. I could listen to it on repeat forever
This band makes more reactors cry than any other I have seen. I LOVE this reaction. ❤
For me it is one of Sleep Token's most beautiful and emotional songs! Goosebumps...every single time..
Almost only two weeks left...can't wait to enjoy it live again 🙏🥰
Worship 🖤
The drums are crazy in the best way
This guy rocking a KNY shirt, one my all time favourite albums! Respect sir.
This is their best song imo.
absolutely love how II just goes all in behind the kit on this breakdown!!
II kicked the door down on his way in without a doubt! Love the gospel influence in his drumming !
This Place Will Become Your Tomb is a Masterpiece ❤️🤘🏼
Hypnosis is the next track on this album, if you haven't already, give that one a listen. It's killer.
This is my favourite sleep token song ever

Just got into Sleep Token, and I'm so glad I did. They blow me away with every track!
..."anything to get me to Sleep". That line right there! 🖤
This song is 🔥🔥🔥

I like you guys ❤ You get it, your smiles of anticipation and surprise and your tears speak volumes.
Love your reactions to my fellow countrymens art
Words just cannot express how freaking great Sleep Token is. They blow me away every day I listen to them, and that's every DAY!
A deeply sad but beautiful song
I get a visceral reaction to their music. It's not just music. It's a religious experience.
Please do The Night Does Not Belong To God and Higher from Sleep Token next. TNDNBTG and Elucid bookend there 3 albums and share musical motifs.
I was just gonna say, Higher!! And all of those of course
3 Albums not a bad track, unreal band.
Yesss! More Sleep Token! ✨
This whole album is fantastic. In fact their whole discography is fantastic. There's not a single song I wouldn't turn up
U did it again! I love your reactions. Especially when you react to Sleep token. 🤩🙏
I squealed when I saw you two had reacted to this song!! 😍 I'm so happy you two loved it and I love your commentary!! Can't wait for more!! 🙌
Fuck yes. What a song! Love your channel
So, this is what the story is telling behind the deep lyrics.

[Verse 1]
Call me when they bury bodies underwater
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple, built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
Merry in the morning, earn your bitter fodder
It's easier to try not to eat
So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches
Anything to get me to sleep
[Verse 2]
I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets
Just orbiting the vacuum I am
They talk me through the damage, consequence
And how it's a pain they know they don't understand
Sobbing as they turn to statues at the bedside
I'm trying not to crush into sand
So flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing
Wash away the blood on my hands
[Verse 3]
Call me when they bury bodies underwater
It's blue light over murder for me
Crumble like a temple built from future daughters
To wasteland when the oceans recede
[Outro]
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't you wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up

Please do the rest of the album, you won’t regret it!
I believe Sleep Token is the progression of what Tool and Perfect Circle gave us before.
When ADam is speaking, everything in this EARTH is about to go... SILENT ....shhhh 🤫

Nice piece !!!

Have you reacted to the song jaws yet by them? So good
I'm wondering if this is describing the aftermath of a car accident where he was the only survivor and he feels guilty for the loss of a loved one.
it's a suicidal attempt.
Nice reaction! Yall have to listen to Take Me Back to Eden!!!
