And while convention may have taught us that emotions mean more when pinned to a personality or some real-life flesh, the facelessness of these private sermons can make them feel shared and empathetic, or perhaps like being inside a confession booth. I’m not here to be the saviour you long for, only the one you don’t” inverts the concept; they are someone who, like in “ The Love You Want”, is unwanted though they see themselves as the perfect companion, a figure the subject does not know they want. After releasing three standalone singles ("Jaws", a cover of Outkast's " Hey Ya", and "The Way That You Were") in 2018, Sleep Token signed with Universal Music Group label Spinefarm Records in 2019.

Light in the blue to ultraviolet spectrum is said to cause age-related macular degeneration, which is closely related to Alzheimer’s.In my opinion, Sleep visits Vessel after his suicide attempt because ‘she’ doesn’t reciprocate his feelings. The songs have a nice atmosphere to them; often quite moody, but then sections will have some djent slapped in there. The above is merely conjecture based upon the repeated motifs and lyrical recycling which permeates the breadth of Sleep Token records and, based upon the recently released singles, will continue with the band’s supposed forthcoming album, Take Me Back To Eden.

More visibly, the symbols are used to spell out the titles on the single covers and the Take Me Back To Eden album artwork. Once again, the band explores the darker, intoxicating aspects of intimacy and reconciling the issues of a relationship. The identity of the woman is less clear: an ex, the woman of Vessel’s infatuation (given that the woman is the same from the video for “ The Way That You Were”), or a former worshipper of Sleep (she also features robed in “ Calcutta”). By “ Sugar”, Vessel is addicted to Sleep and cannot leave, despite the line “ addicted to the pain” showing he knows it’s not necessarily good for him.From “ Chokehold“, “ The Summoning“, “ Granite“, “ Aqua Regia“, “ Vore“, “ DYWTYLM“, and beyond into TMBTE, I cannot wait to see what additional meanings can be drawn. Shepherd highlighted in particular the songs "The Offering", "Dark Signs" and "Drag Me Under", but also noted that "the continuous nature of this dark mood entwined with the group's slow-burning, listless pace does begin to drag across [the album's] 50-minute runtime". In “ Dark Signs”, Vessel says, “ I won’t bend and break to my basic need to be loved and closed to somebody,” a statement of intent which suggests he has done so time and time again in ‘worship’ (loving) of Sleep and his love – of course, they might be one and the same.

The band have shown they can create vast episodes that exist primarily within their ancient universe, while also feeling very vulnerable and human at their core. The shift between the first and second chorus from “ what they did before” to “ what I did before” is telling; he is Sleep’s Vessel now. The red cave in “ The Love You Want” potentially symbolizes Vessel’s heart, with the sword a visual device to cut free from the feelings that still tug at his heart, but ultimately hurting him more. The quality certainly takes a serious nosedive after the first couple of tracks until you end up listening to just some guy singing over a piano for the last half of the album. His fragile emotional state makes him a prime target, and “ I am almost under” refers both to unconsciousness and a metaphorical submersion into the ocean that is so prevalent across the record.The ‘trenches’ referred to are very likely self-harm marks which are later alluded to in “ Telomeres” (open arms and “the buckling sutures that hold shut the wounds of the past”) and “ High Water”. What matters is the underlying message: healing and moving on, particularly from those that mistreat you and the emotions that hold you back. e. the hopes of a new relationship’ honeymoon love or the [often temporary] upturn in a relationship).
