Do Calcutta next! It’s the start of the next EP, Two! It is probably one of my absolute favorite songs from their older material! I think you’re gonna enjoy it! 🖤🥀

Taking their whole body of work into account I find Two my least favorite. It has all the elements of Sleep Token except for the songwriting. And I'm a Song is King kinda guy. A bit like his old solo stuff that was released the other day.

You can tell that A Perfect Circle are also a heavy influence for his writing at this stage. Brave move going back to first EPs. ST at their rawest and darkest for sure.

Greetings from Kent. It's not my 1st time hearing this song. Far from it, but I can still remember how that drop hit me that 1st time, and I get to relive it through watching your first time! Great job, guys. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️

That drop was huge and it had Fynn in actual tears!! thank you so much for your comment and hopefully you can join us on our journey moving forward! Thank you

Definitely keep winging it haha love when you do your intro's on the fly! The breakdown totally hit me the first time I listened to this, and I love that I can get to live it through you guys haha! It's funny how you mistakenly call lore vore as Vore is a song off their latest album, Take Me Back to Eden! I'm very much invested in this journey and I can't wait for your reactions to the EP Two! You'll definitely see a step up in the production quality and songwriting too so it should be very exciting.

Winging it is the future for sure! That drop was huge, Fynn was in tears, literally! SO so so good! I know, VORE means something completely different and it wont be mistaken again hahaha Thanks for the love shown 🙂

@RealLifeCoupleReact their discography is AMAZING. I found them early last year with only 3 songs released and ended up listening to EVERYTHING out of order cause I had no idea of the lore, etc, but no regrets. Better late than never.

Hello again Belle and Fynn. I know you discussed lyrics in a previous reaction and it’s worth mentioning a couple key lines that might be an important part of the Lore. Death features prominently in both Fields of Elation and When the Bough Breaks. Fields of Elation ends with the repeated line: “I’m losing faith in our lives apart” whilst here it ends with the repeated line: “You don’t really love, you just hate to be alone”. I love that you pointed out the cover of EP One and its significance. They are cherry blossom petals, which are very symbolic in Japanese culture. They represent rebirth and the fleeting nature of life. The attention to detail is incredible, everything Sleep Token does is deliberate. I recommend checking out this live version (the only one out there) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNWjaJeqqru5pWQ.htmlsi=kh4yd7498J0ZNznn By the way, you might want to look up the definition of Vore. It’s um… very different. 😳 W O R S H I P

Yeah, knew it had something to do with it all! We can't wait to delve into the lyrics more, thank you so much for all this information . It's incredible stuff and totally mind blowing!

@@RealLifeCoupleReact You're fabulous, that's what you're like! I don't want to overload you with information but here's the lore that was published when the Thread the Needle single was released in September 2016. “Sleep Token are a masked, anonymous collective of musicians said to be united by their worship of an ancient deity crudely dubbed “Sleep”, since no modern tongue can properly express its name. This being once held great power, bestowing ancient civilisations with the gift of dreams, and the curse of nightmares. Even today, though faded from prominence, ‘Sleep’ yet lurks in the subconscious minds of man, woman, and child alike. Fragments of beauty, horror, anguish, pain, happiness, joy, anger, disgust, and fear coalesce to create expansive, emotionally textured music that simultaneously embodies the darkest, and the brightest abstract thoughts. He has seen them. He has felt them. He is everywhere. Sleep Token, led by the perpetually tormented Vessel, creates music that brings to the fore our most submerged thoughts and feelings, coaxing them from the desolate, terrifying caves of our subconscious mind.” W O R S H I P

@bradleycampbell7256 5 ай бұрын

The lore continues here, again this is only my interpretation of the lyrics and music. But this is what makes sense to me. When the bough breaks is nearly all from Sleep’s perspective on Vessel. She has begun to question Vessel. She needs his complete devotion and so she will put him through some tests. She needs him to choose to be there and want to be there and need to be there. So she says “you could be alive” she’s offering his life back or devotion to her. Vessel will choose Sleep but sleep still doesn’t believe him. She will tell him that “we can stay suspended even when the bough breaks” even when she isn’t there to support him she needs his devotion. And then slips into a chorus of “don’t lie to me”. Sleep is not capable of love. She (or he or it) is an ancient being that feeds. A parasite if you will in God’s clothing. But in order to gain a steady food supply she needs to make Vessel WANT this life. Vessel is trying to keep up and Sleep is telling him how he will fail at winning her affection. “You try to look away from even when the bough breaks.” She is in effect telling Vessel to prove himself to her. And at the drop Sleep returns him to the world of the living. The abrupt departure from the embrace of Sleep is the next test and he will stay where he is now knowing where he wants to be is out of his grasp. I’m loving your guys’ enjoyment of the soundscapes. It’s so neat to see you both get swept up in it. I’m excited to go on the journey with you!

"A parasite in God's clothing" Love that! Another awesome view and this all makes sense! This is going to be one hell of a ride!!! thank you for that 🙂 It feels incredible being swept in too, its got a huge hold of us now and we can't wait to carry on. Thanks for your support and love 🙂
