Where did you find this out?

@@Kira-qc4qi It was in an interview with their producer George Lever. I don't remember if it was an article or a video but he used to tell lots of stories about his experiences.

I always thought it was a cradle. "When the bough breaks the cradle will fall" Wooden cradle is what I always thought

It works cause it sounds like a bough creaking!

@@DJ_VXN right on, thank you

came here to say this

Barely anyone I’ve seen catches on to that reference in the lyric!

@@panwithoutthecake I've never heard a reactor mention this.

@@panwithoutthecake not sure how people miss it. sleep token just has so many callbacks. its honestly genius songwriting, apart from just great music and amazing lyrics, it generates buzz and gets people listening to everything over and over

Shit, I remember that! Who said that?

@@RadDadfield Was that Chase Carneson?

@@shanebyrne355 I think you're right, that definitely sounds like something he would say and now I can hear it in his voice.

I always interpreted One to be the heartbreak that caused Sleep to be able to get a hold of Vessel. Two is when Sleep starts to get the proverbial claws into Vessel and Sundowning is when Vessel finally gets consumed.

​@@SoLDMGIn this amazing context how do you interpret the other two albums?

@@Wizrd_Merlin I wouldn’t know about amazing, but, I think This Place Will Become Your Tomb is where Sleep drives Vessel to his lowest point yet as a test, to the point of sudoku (Atlantic) and after that he gets fully and finally enthralled (Hypnosis) and that he knows it’s going to be unhealthy but he wants to stick it out again like his previous relationship (Mine) and that he finally realizes he is already caught in Sleeps machinations (Telomeres). And then the weird little beginning honeymoon phase you have when you’re hiding secrets when you just get together with a new bf/gf when you’re not really ready for it yet (High Water) even though Sleep already knows them all. Then TMBTE, I think the order of the songs is very important. Vessel is finally reaping some reward it seems. Chokehold is affirming that he is in fact under control. Summoning is him begging to be taken to a higher point again, and getting the strength to talk sass to his old SO, which leads to Granite which has the same theme, he finally says that he was important to her because, he was. Aqua Regia is him realizing his own worth. Sleep knocks him down a notch and calls him back to worship (Vore). Ascensionism (my t-shirt!) is Vessel realizing he replaced one toxic relationship with another, but now he’s in with a god, not a woman, and he’s screaming into Sleeps proverbial face that he’s gonna outgrow him, and he’s under the impression that Sleep wants the same for him (I doubt it). The Apparition is important, but nothing we haven’t seen before. Rain is Vessel saying aight, you helped me become my own again, and even more powerful than before, but asking Sleep to take him further. Sleep takes him up on it, and TMBTE is Vessel realizing it doesn’t work anymore and he’s asking to be let go. On Euclid (and this album) Vessel references a lot the songs on earlier releases, like “the night belongs to you” “this bough has broken through”. He says that, if he’s not released, he’ll bring heaven down entirely. At the end of it he literally repeats the lyrics from The Night Does Not Belong To God from Sundowning. I think that’s a threat. That’s Sleep telling him he’s not done. He knows he won’t be Vessels god forever, so he’s gonna plunge him into something he’s never seen before to keep him. Standing up to the god who physically owns you now? Won’t go well. It’s also an open chord, as in, the original piece of music was a closed chord (fitting notes), in this chord they’re open as in dissonant, they don’t fit well. Gives the impression that more is to come opposed to it’s coming to a close. The songs where he sings lower are usually the ones which include Sleeps POV, and I haven’t noticed any lyrics from him which explicitly state that Sleep actually wants to save Vessel. That’s where I wager the next albums will go.

My all time favorite! ❤

My absolutely favorite and the video is just as stunning as the song!! I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces…IYKYK

Ahhh!! So excited for Calcutta!!!! And the video?! Excited for these dudes to react.

Yes yes yes

The music video for Calcutta sets the mood so well. Easily one of my favorites

Yup

Lolllll don’t let slipknot fans hear you. Jk jk 🤫

Lateralus was my favorite album for 22 years until TMBTE came out. Never thought I'd have another album top Lateralus, but here we are.

I agree 💯..sleep token has taking over my music choices since Tool ​@michaelmilne5282

“Fuck yeah, he’s dooting!” 😂😂😂

The bough was starting to break. When I first heard one (way back in 2018) I rewound that part so many times lol

Agreed 💯

That's the first time I've noticed his hat!!!! Thanks for pointing it out!!

I can vouch that the 90 Minute video essay is amazing, y’all should watch it

Watched it a couple days ago and man, it's incredible!

Agreed with all of the above. And thanks for making it! ST fans are something else.

Love the dedication man

I’ve listened through it twice. Can confirm it’s worth it !

That would be awesome! Would be interesting to see what they have to add now. I too have recently caught up with all their reacts and I just wish they were more often the wait kills me now

Then the stripped down versions from the Lafayette show!

Live versions of vore and the offering too are fantastic

Its funny cuz ive always noticed the squeak and it somehow adds to the song. BUT theres a version of this song on bandcamp that has a completely different mix than any other version and on top of that, the chair squeak is absent

@@BeefyMatt Thank you for pointing this out. I need to relisten because I downloaded One from bandcamp. This is really cool 😊
