Aqua Regia means royal water. It's one of the only acidic mixtures that can melt gold.

We're taking two shots here today, everybody. 1) Kyle "WHO THINKS LIKE THIS?!?!?!??!" 2) Eric "I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, but this might be my new favorite."

The song is all about chemistry. Both human emotional/physical chemistry but literal chemical reactions stripping gold from silicon, computer hardware n shit.

Aqua Regia is an acid that is used to dissolve gold. A common source of gold is circuit boards, and aqua regia is used to dissolve the "integrated hardware" off the circuit board which is made of silicon. "Silicon ballrooms", "Gold rush, acid flux"....

This has to be one of the tastiest chord progressions on the album. It is just monumentally gorgeous to listen to.

vessel is an insanely talented lyricist

I swear someone on the band is either a chemistry major or just really into science stuff because all the references to chemicals and reactions in this song is INSANE. Love this one so much. Great reaction again, love you guys!

I absolutely love how much Kyle gets into the reactions… the gasps, the dumbfounded expressions, the crying, it’s all a perfect expression of my personal sleep token experience

This is my favorite song off the album. It's jazzy, rappy, poppy and has a nice groove. Glad you guys liked this one!

Vessel is a prodigy. The man is taking over the world.

Please do "The Apparition", I really think you guys will love that one!

This song’s piano gives me that low-light smoky cigar bar feel

The rapid call back to Sugar and then Take me back to Eden at 4:00 is such a cool line, so in love Vessel's ability to call back so naturally to every piece of lyric they have given. I highly recommend Sugar btw! Worship.

My favorite part of this reaction...."he's running scales...he's running SCALES!" LOL. Also...is it possible for Vessel's voice to give us chills every time we hear a new sleep token song? His vocal riffs, vocal tone, and richhhhh as hell vocal quality are unmatched.

Imagine the vocabulary Vessel carries around in his immediate memory, philosophical conversations have to be wicked 🤘❤️

aqua regia translates from latin to royal water. royal water is a corrosive acidic mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and one part concentrated nitric acid, which can melt gold

The way he sings "between teeth in a broken jaw" he very clearly sounds like he's literally singing through gritted teeth, y'know? Just love that touch

It's easy. I see Rykerroad and Sleep Token in the title and I already press like before watching, cause I know this is gonna be good. 😁

Sleep Token are the same as Ice Nine Kills for me in the sense that every new song I hear from them I’m saying “this is my new favourite” 😂

No one can match Vessel He's an incredible lyricist His vocals are unique and so passionately delivered Amazing Worship And this song makes me feel like I am at a jazz club ..like a Gatsby party

Euclid is the end of the trilogy, if I were to suggest something would be to leave that song till the end of your journey of the whole thing. Although not realistic, it would be so cool. Just because when I heard it I cried and most of the reactors that have heard it and know sleep Token have also 😅. Most of the reason why I did was due to the fact that I caught all the little callbacks in it. Idk just a thought. It's a gorgeous song, you'll still love it I'm sure

This song is such a groove, light jazz in that small coffee shop feel so good

Love the jazzyness in this one

Aqua Regia is a mix of Nitric Acid and Hydrochloric Acid. When the 2 are mixed they become a very toxic acid capable of dissolving Gold. The song is about 2 toxic people coming together and destroying everything around them when they are together, at least my interpretation. I really enjoy that you are going through the entirety of Take Me Back To Eden, however, not to spoil anything for you, you need to listen to the One and Two LP’s, Sundowning, and This Place will Become your Tomb before listening to the last song on TMBTE…. It’s a journey, and a culmination of that journey, and without listening to those songs, you may not be able to appreciate it in its grand finale…. 🖤Worship🖤

My daughter introduced ST to me with THE SUMMONING, and i was completely hooked. It has been ages since i have heard an album that I could just put on and listen all the way through. It is so nice and refreshing to have a band that blends genres and still make sure you get chills by the lyrics. Every song on this album I would say this is my favorite, lol, so I understand that logic 😂 But the lyricism in these songs will just blow most people away if they go back and take the time to listen to their older albums and understand what Vessel's dream was about and why he has made the songs he has. This album dropped on my birthday May 19th, and my daughter introduced me to Sleep Token And I have to say it was probably one of the best birthday presents I've had in many many years. Since then I have devoured this album, and have gone back through their Sundowning and TPWBYT albums and I have to say that they are all unique in their own ways yet tied together at the same time lol 😂 Never too old for good music! Worship❤❤❤

Aqua regia, the first time i heard it sounded like vessel was saying i cant reach out, which i think is cool with how all of the lines in the verses are like polar opposites and never able to meet.

I really wanna see their reaction to the apparition. I freaking love that song but it feels like there's not enough love towards it

Now we got two more alchemists. Here we WORSHIP 🖤

Absolutely gorgeous. Worship!❤

This is my favorite track off the record and I'm glad to see you guys enjoyed it so much.

Seeing y’all’s reactions has me unconsciously smiling the whole time every video lmao, this band seriously takes you to a different place

They're soooo good live 😍😭 I saw them not to long ago and it was the best concert I ever went to, he sounds exactly like he sounds on the track 😍 also please react to Jaws and Sugar by them 😍 those are my favourites

couldnt click fast enough once i saw you reacting to sleep token again!! Let's go!

Yes, I've been waiting for this reaction, one of my favorite songs, just a groove and so musically and lyrically tasty. I knew you guys would love it. ❤ Just beyond talented.

Love the heavy jazz elements in this one! One of my favorites on the album

I've been so impatient for you guys to see this!

Vessel must've really paid attention in chemistry class.

Been binging your Sleep Token reaction the last few hours. I wish i can hear all of these for the first time again, i love watching others enjoy it as much as i did. You need to react to songs off their previous records. Alkaline, Hypnosis, and Jaws are a must!

I think this is the one that I’ve been wanting you guys to react to the most, thank you so much for getting to it! This song is just so pretty and jazzy the whole way through. Next recommendation is going to be the apparition. I definitely think you will enjoy that one.

This song touches inside me in places that I didn't know to have

This is one of the best damn songs ever. The music is gorgeous and the lyrics absolutely brilliant. My favorite. Damn near swooned when I saw it performed live in Denver in September.

this is one of my fave reviews of Aqua Regia ever lmao

I’ve been listening to them for more than two years and every song I hear is my new favorite, too, no matter how many times I’ve heard it. You might be happy to know that everything Sleep Token writes is groove-heavy. Most of their catalog is in 4/4, so you’re listening to prog (most songs, anyway) and you’re able to nod your head to it. I really hope you guys go back and check out the other albums when you’re done with this one. Trust me, we’ll keep showing up for them.

if you guys loved this you guys will definitely love "Rain"

You’ve renewed my love for this song. So f**king good

This is one of my favorite songs from them. I get goosebumps every time.

I am always happy to see you guys react to Vessel and Sleep Token. Seriously speaking my life changed when I discovered them, and like you both I heard the entire TMBTE album first and I was lost in the depth of lyrics but also how incredible their talents are to blending genres. I can’t wait for you guys to finish this album, so you can then venture on through their previous work, which is just as epic 🤘🏻🤘🏻 #WORSHIP

This is my favorite song on the entire album. ❤

100% jazz my man. So good!

This song is about spiritual alchemy.

A voz do Vessel , provoca várias sensações ❤

So happy you two loved this one, I've been waiting for this reaction. Did not disappoint! I really enjoy this one, it makes you think of a diner during the piano solo and I just think of a Final Fantasy cut scene.

Lore with Sleep Token nerd: Vessel is now valuing himself very highly and sees his love as "Gold". The beginning talks about how is looking for a lover "animal calls/ mating call" and how he is still hurt from previous endeavor/relationships. "These days im a circuit board, integrated hardware you can not afford." this goes back to his self-value and this first part like I said can all be connected with Gold as gold is used commonly in circuit boards and is very reflective just like sounds off a wall (mating calls). As soon as a problem arises, rather than approaching it more compassionately/romantically, he is going into offence mode, ready to start a war, perhaps triggered by a past experience where he constantly felt he had to wage wars with his partner to have peace again. Quick to put down the roses and stop giving love so he can protect himself, but this time, he'll be attacking first so he doesn't get hurt first. I think the Mt.Olympus line leads to the Greek Gods which then leads to talking about his past with his God "Sleep". The chorus I think links the actual meaning of Aqua Regia which is a mixture that can melt GOLD/LOVE. (see where im getting at) This love causes happiness which is like "sugar on the blood cells, carbon on the brain", "Out of Eden's vices running through my veins" This I think links to his intamate connection with Sleep and how he let go of them and is now running out of love from them like a addiction. "Oh and I am done dancing to alarm bells, No wonder my ears are still ringing, And I am done fighting off change, No wonder my arms are still swinging" This I think can be a connection to Dark Signs with Vessel stating "And when we met I could see dark signs, Alarm bells in your eyes". Dark signs was not just about his lover but Sleep as well so I think this is 2 things with his current feelings as well as his past ones mixing together. (This is mix of my words and others)

"Putting down the roses and picking up the sword" , The Love You Want anyone? >.>

This song is an instant mood booster for me.

The fact that people go to the gigs for the metal and stay for the jazz is amazing. This got as much of a cheer at wembley as the summoning!!

I can't wait for the final three songs from this album because they are my favorite from this album

Love lyrics that make me learn things

Ah, I love this track so much.

Love most of there stuff but something about this song just hits different! Absolute banger!

The fact that this is the 4th song and the 5th one is Vore, chefs kiss! Thanks for the video!

Great reaction🤗Cool T-shirts.

This one of my favorites! It's such a vibe!!! 🖤

One of my favorites off the album! Although my favorite tends to change with my mood--which is why this album is so great...so many different vibes all in the same album.

A new favourite, for sure! Great one guys 😊

Sleep Token - ‘Rain’ and ‘Euclid’. You haven’t heard some of the best yet

I found you guys because I love sleep token and seeing others react! Definitely make yall a part of my daily!

Btw. Aqua Regia is the only substance on earth (acid) that melts or liquefies gold 😅

Vessel is a poet and a preacher

Even though there’s so many great songs with crazy genre switches and more intensity and depth, this is still my favorite song on the album. The lyrics, the piano, that amazing bridge.. I love it

I love yall covering sleep token. I listened to it all when it came out and watching yall have made me remember the excitement I felt listening for the first time. Thank you I appreciate it.

This the first sleep token song I heard and vessel’s vocals on the bridge grabbed me just like it did for Kyle, got me hooked on sleep token since then. Thanks for the reaction 🙏

I feel like this song starts with a hospital stay after a extreme crash, and his change there. "These days im a circuit board, intergated hardware you can not afford" Hes attached to all these machines. All the medicine hes on, plus references to addictions and other drug uses and their effects on his body. When im done dancing to alarm bells. High in the hospital, and all the machines have beeps or alarms on them. So when hes done being haunted by his stay. Silicone ball rooms, hosptial rooms Subatomic interactions, all the change in his body.

Yes he does play the full piano break live, if your wondering

😏😁✌️🫶🔥🎶😎 can't forget the 🫂🫂😉

this song makes me want to spin in the rain

I check every day to see if y’all have done more Sleep Token yet. I recommend the order of The Apparition, then Rain, and Euclid last-but like I said in another comment, do a back-to-back of The Night Does Not Belong To God from Sundowning (the first song in the trilogy of albums), and then immediately go to Euclid (the last song on TMBTE and the end of the trilogy). Gives me chills when I listen to them side by side

I think I'm on to something. Just roll with me for a minute... Absolutely brilliant! I am really starting to believe the lure... - Aqua Regia dissolves Gold - between teeth on a broken jaw (Gold teeth) - Circuit boards contain gold - Relationship ends and a fight over the gold ring ensues - Dissolve (Aqua Regia) - Olympus was made of Gold and Marble - picture frame (gold) - Done dancing to alarm bells (reference to Dark Signs) - I'm done fighting off change - Dissolve (Aqua Regia) Thoughts???

Love this song. Easy going and just a good vibey song.

i keep hearing RACK A ROUND instead of ryker road lol, just subbed y`all are pretty cool and can bring me out my funk. Keep at it bois

Love that they throw a little elevator/sims piano solo in there😂

Been hoping y’all would do this one. Great song

It's between this song and rain for me when it come to this style

Yay

This song slaps. Also it’s seems you may have figured the lyric issue out when can we expect the last 2 parts of Pain Remains? Love your channel

This song has been my favorite on the album along with Vore. Vessel is a creative genius in every possible way. Amazing music

This is my favorite track on the entire album...thank you for appreciating it!

man, maybe I'm wrong, but in the secondd verse you can hear a error alert sound from Windows sometimes

Vessel is just the 🐐! You need to do the EPs, singles and other albums 🖤

I know you guys would love higher by sleep token!! Youll love it!

This definitely has jazz and RnB influences, good ear :D

I understand the lore and the whole reason for the aesthetic, but Vessell is way too good at what he does to stay anonymous to most of his audience forever. For me, if he eventually came out and did interviews, finally gave some insight to how he writes music, it would make me an even happier fan. Of course, I'm a musician, and I can totally see why people who don't know who he is want to keep it that way.

Solid one, lyrics were awesome. Song also awesome

Hey boys, have you heard the new silent planet track? it's an interesting new sound from them, it slaps and there is another single dropping this week i think 🤘

HE DRINK POPCORN!

Wake up babe, Rykerroad dropped a new sleep token video

Going to be seeing them live I can’t wait

Vessel is so, so, so much smarter than I am.

Coming from someone who listens to deathcore and slam on the daily, this is my favorite song on the album

every time Kyle presses the Fatality button, for some strange reason I hear "SCIENTOLOGY!"
