The lyrics are slightly wrong. They should actually be: "I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody." I enjoyed your reaction. The problem is that we all feel like we are the only ones who have either felt like this or gone through something like this. The actual truth is that lots of us have! You'd have to be extremely lucky to go through life without ever having had your heart broken or getting involved with the wrong person. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
Thank you. Yea that does happen to everyone. It's the part where you self reflect in the morning when you're waking up, realizing you hate the person you've become while you're with said person. And you feel trapped. And you know the exact moment in time when you decided to pursue this relationship knowing full well that this feeling of hopelessness was going to happen. Daily. That experience and emotion is what I think is crazy to relate to, to the T.
I think one of the most beautiful things about this band is, they allow men to express and consider feelings they typically aren't given the space to express or consider.
Loved your reaction to the video bud. Ended up writing it with the band. Basically a person who was a good friend to me ended our relationship and friendship because she hung out with someone who had been a “friend” to her and she really ended up screwing me over. In simplest terms it’s about being in a state of not knowing who you are after a relationship ends that I was so connected to.
This song definitely hits me man, sleep token songs have a way of finding that emotion or experience you've had at some point in your life and it just fucking hits bro.Thank you for showing vulnerability and for an awesome reaction... Worship 🙏🫶
Hey thanks for watching guys! If you enjoy the video, please like and subscribe to help me grow the channel. Let me know what you guys thought down below.
New sub here. I'm happy you found sleep token. It's such a journey with this band. One of my favorites. Glad your enjoying it and allowing us to enjoy it with you! Worship!
That's what ST is for so many people! Not just a good band that has a great singer, but somebody who's been there, and felt the way u felt. And someone can put what u can't say into words! They're literally just EVERYTHING!!! ❤❤❤ Glad u found them too! 🙏💖 (Now they've shown up! Enjoy!)
Sleep Token is an emotional journey! I think you have the jist of it, but there are many twists and turns. I’m a year in and still making connections between songs. I’m a woman but I got a strong dose of “western pioneer stoicism” so I can compartmentalize my emotions far too well. This music has helped a lot with my emotional inventory and some umpacking.
I feel that. For me so far they have been answering questions I had written off and accepted as having no answers to. But I needed them and hadn't realized it yet.
This is that story. From the EP's, combining the lore into the relationship. Through to the end. Ive cried, I learned to grieve to this music, and find hope. The room below concert, there's a message he puts out to the audience that addresses this. I think this music connects with people who have gone through it and sit alone with the pain. His music helps you feel the emotions and come to terms with your own while listening to him work through his. It's not being alone. I think that's why we all like to watch others find Sleep Token. You're not alone, we're all here too. Worship ❤️
Yes, many of us have gone through some shit that we never knew how to express but Vessel nails it perfectly! Don't worry about crying while listening.... there's usually a song that digs in and sinks its teeth into you 😂. See what I did there??!!😂 Sleep Token s music is healing in so many ways. Yes, the trilogy of albums tell one long story. It's sometimes gut wrenching and euphoric in others.....Yes, Vessel has gone through some shit, and is genius how he can make metaphorical entries in his music that can evoke such emotions. Just follow the journey and hopefully you'll be like so many of us that finds what we need in their music. Worship ❤
Haha I didn't quite cry.. I teared up a bit lol. It's just crazy that this shit he went through is almost identical on so many levels to my personal experience. Weird finding this music right now.
After a decade-long relationship ended, I hated myself every day. It was hard to keep living. I was physically sick with grief, I lost 16 pounds in two weeks because I couldn't eat. My brain was changed forever. I didn't know who I was. Some days, I still find myself wondering if I'm deserving of good things or searching for a shred of self worth. I hope to find it again 🙏🏻✨️
That is so similar to what happened with me. 10 years.. I'm at about a year and a half out of it and finally getting back to normal. I hope anyway. You'll get there!!
This track is one of my faves. So much so, I associate the color purple with this song now when I see the color. Very cathartic. This album is incredible! Bring on Higher! I can't wait to see you react to Give on this album and The Love You Want on TPWBYT. Also my faves similar to this vibe. No rush though. I'll sub to go on the ride yet again. Sleep Token Therapy Sessions, let's get it. 🙏
Haha thank you! I was totally gonna make this thumbnail purple themed but I had literally just done that for Sleep Token... So I did it on my Lorna Shore video yesterday instead to get it off my mind lol
There seems to be one song that eventually sneaks in past the walls and gets to you. I think that's what's so special about his writing- he distills a particular thing we've felt or been through into such a way we can sit with it for a minute. Maybe to feel, or heal.❤
Something about Sleep Token's music really speaks to trauma and repressed aspects of ourselves, in my opinion. Their music has been integral to our trauma processing journey.
You really are not alone! Something that I've learned some time ago is not to analyze what I'm feeling but to just feel it. We dissect everything and think through our feelings but that's helpful. Idk...just what I learned. Other than that..... idk....I appreciate Vessel's honesty and how he treats certain topics. He is very vulnerable and authentic. No wonder that makes you cry. It's going to get a lot more sad. The whole album “This Place Will Become Your Tom” is what I like the call “the depression album” so.... It's the line “tear my arms off” that gets to me btw. Idk...I could say so much....(okay I can't shut up so I copy and paste something that I wrote some time ago). idk if you ever looked at concert photos of Vessel (probably not becaue you are new to this)?! I have a fan tumblr and I have looked at many photos/ videos over the years. He paints his arms black but depending on how the light shines on them or when the paint starts to come of because it's warm, they reveal certain things. He has a lot of self-harm scars on both of his arms. When he sings about tearing his arms of, I assume he means exactly that. I struggled with that myself btw. And other things (was diagnosed with BPD a long time ago) but I'm fine these days. The weird thing about this topic is that many fans relate to it in a sense that they have struggled in that way, too. But there are also fans who hate you for point this even out. What I decided to do about this some time ago was just be honest about it and share my past struggle but I also write about how it got better for me. I figured that the only way to end the stigma when it comes to mental illness is by opening up about my own struggles. I used to pretend that this part of me did not even exist but it's actually Sleep Token's music that inspired me to be more authentic. (stolen from my own tumblr and a also sry for the wall of text.....to me Sleep Token really is an invitation to talk about stuff like that and not shy away from it. I really want to end the stigma around mental health issues like these 😉)
I feel ya. 100% drop walls of text anytime. I listened to this song again right after this video and recorded it. It's about 15 minutes really talking about what this song did for me immediately, but I'm not fully ready to just drop all of that on TH-cam just yet so I cut those couple pieces and added them to the beginning and end of this video. Once I figure this TH-cam thing out I'll find some other avenue of posting videos like that. I also have a bunch of videos where I just straight up roast the song/MV because they are humorously bad, but don't want to post them here either lol. But yea, that song fucking slaps! I've been listening to it all day today, and each time it lifts me higher above the relationship I was in for 10 years. I'm just now fully healing from that, so having this song remind me that I did indeed escape alive is just perfect for me right now timing wise honestly. I'm blown away typing this even
This one hits me real hard, it was said in a previous video but it’s like it’s an amazing realization that you arnt alone in having those experiences and that it’s ok to hurt and grieve. It’s like they open you up and make you feel comfortable with being vulnerable so that you can heal.
I was hesitant to post this one tbh. It's crazy because I've never had an artist basically have a conversation with me about some shit I've been through in a song.
Great reaction! Glad you had the lyrics up for this one. The next song you MUST have the lyrics up for that one too. I believe there is a visualizer with lyrics for “Higher” on TH-cam. Here for it!!!
Thank you for this. I appreciate your genuine reaction. This song is heavy. It’s one of my favorites; in my top 5. It breaks me, and heals me at the same time. They get very deep. They draw you in, and expose the most vulnerable parts of you. But their music is healing. You’ll understand as you keep listening. We aren’t as alone as we think we are. It’s gonna be a roller coaster of a ride, but I’m so here for it. They are special.
The lyrics are slightly wrong. They should actually be:
"I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody."
I enjoyed your reaction.

That’s not correct. The lyric is I won’t”. The rest of true though
@DarkestNova556 both Apple music and Amazon say it's "might", and I was sure it was "might"; I think it's "might"
@@MadailinBurnhope as does spotify
Yeah I need to know, is it "I won't break and bend" or "I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody?"
I think one of the most beautiful things about this band is, they allow men to express and consider feelings they typically aren't given the space to express or consider.
Very true so far. It's deep rooted toxic masculinity tbh.
One thing about this band that I've noticed that the lyrics hit you and you realize you're not alone. Plus the music is really good.
I'm realizing I'm not alone even more with each song I listen to on here. Soo good!
ST can be so gut wrenching. One minute you’re fine next you’re balling. Can be any song any given day. Their music is pure magic.
They're so damn good!

Vessel openly cries while performing. It's personal stuff every time, and he lets you know he feels it.
Thank you for your vulnerability. I’m happy for you that Sleep Token found you. They speak to the truth in all of us. Worship 🤙🏻🖤

Thank you for being vulnerable with us 🖤🖤 sleep token has a lot of us like that just that feeling of being understood and seen through music

This band does so much for me ❤
My favorite ST song!
It's a damn good one!
Loving your ST reactions. Yeah I think it’s all about healing…he actually gets there. And it’s beautiful!
Thank you! I can't wait!

💯 lyrics from now on! Unless there is a music video

Sleep Token will change your whole outlook on life in the best way!
I'm so ready. Nice red btw!!
@@CasualReactions react to high water by sleep token bro one of the best songs they got. You wont regret it.
@@traviswilliams3366 I'm going to! I'm doing all of their songs in order
So glad to see ya again ❤always a great time for some Sleep Token

I don't think I've ever had a song do that to me.
I miss the man I was, the moment we left off. And I hate who I have become, every time I wake up. I miss you Ashley, even though I shouldn't.
People talk about genres a lot with sleep token. For me it’s a band that hits me emotionally only like one other artist REN.
After Sleep Token, not sure if i can take on both at once if Ren hits like this lol
Sleep Token are a genre of their own.
Why the hell you crying ole boi !!!!!
Man that song hit me hard. 90% of the stuff I've told you at work about my ex comes out in these songs
