How Many Genres Can You Fit In ONE SONG!! | "The Apparition" | SLEEP TOKEN REACTION 

I think "let me go or take me with you" was intended to mean he's exhausted of being "summoned" when sleep/the girl needs him but he's cast aside when she's done and wants her to make a choice.

You did indeed catch me slacking

One of my favorites. I still get chills when he sings. " why are you never real."

Def caught me slacking! 😂 I saw them in Detroit last night and ohhhhh boy. Fucking WORSHIP. I'll edit and upload the clips to my channel throughout the day, and also to my tik-tok, if you'd like a peek at the show and some III shenanigans 😂 I won't give you any spoiler clips, I think from their set list, you've only not heard Rain yet? A bit of Ascensionism and The Offering are up right now. Thanks for the thoughtful reactions and breakdowns, as always ✨️ I made sure to capture II's drum solo during The Summoning for you!

that high note he hits in between the bridge and refrain gets me every time 😩 this is also one of my absolute favorite songs on the album. “don’t wait cause this could be the last time you turn up in the reveries of my mind. I wake up to a suicide frenzy, loaded dreams still leave me empty” hits me so hard. the way he writes lyrics is so compelling. also great reaction as always!

Worship, always worship.

So much damn groove man!

It was good❣️ is what it was

This is one of my fave songs on this albumni love the synths and the beat that comes in when they hit It makes this song feel epic and important to the story. And my interpretation of this song especially coming right after AYROK makes me think that whoever he was talking about in that song ( his lover) was self harming and at the end of it he says "i can not fix your wounds "this time." So i think she died and the next song is 'the apparition' she didn't survive that attempt. So now she is a ghost or apparition that haunts him. But the only way he can be with her now is in his dreams but when he wakes up she's gone so when he wakes up (kinda a call back to Calcutta in my opiinon) he wakes up saying her name and then the memory of what happened the night she woke him up dripping crimson on the carpet. That's why he wakes up to a suicide frenzy and realizes that he was only dreaming again that why he says loaded dreams still leave me empty. And by the end of the song he's so tired and just wants to go with her which means he wants to die to or he just wants her memory and the dreams to stop ( just let me go or take me with you)

Fantastic song!

Another beautiful testament to tragedy, but masterfully done❤ again thank you😊

I joined your patreon yesterday

I love this reaction!! This song is soooooo good ❤

We don’t think this is referencing a lost child? I don’t think many people would wake up in a “suicide frenzy” over a lost partner….. but a child? That’s messed up. It feels like Vessel dreams of the child he never got to be with, the memories of them he has to make himself in his dreams. Which causes his rush of emotion every morning when he realises it was only in his dreams.

I don't know how I never caught that you have a Patreon! Sub incoming!

Glad to see more patrons and more subs for my favorite reactor! Keep subscribing people! Awesome reaction as usual.

Another outstanding review/interpretation, thank you again for the work and the love you put into these 💜

Django sir, I apologize. In going back over my original post I realize I didn't start off with thanks for your channel. My niece and I are enjoying your reactions and agree with much of what you say. Your channel is one we plan on watching through all ST's catalog. We are becoming fans. I'm also an amateur word detective. As you see in my comment, if you read it, the overall song is for feeling. Digging in to the details is for logic and argument. Again, apologies for coming off as rude and abrupt. I've been trying to fix that for sixty plus years and so far, I'm not doing so good. My opinions won't be popular, but they are defendable. While art can be interpreted in different ways the written word has definitions that do not change. I'm not talking about slang, but the words we use to create legal contracts and express promises between family. Also, all art has a code that needs to be followed. Post modern art breaks with that idea but these lyrics follow classical influences. If there is cohesiveness then they cannot be Modern or Post Modern because those two schools say there is no interpretation, just a feeling that it gives the viewer. I also don't believe that Are You Really OK? has anything to do with his mother. There is nowhere else in the lyrics of any ST song that includes any other person; the lyrics only have him and his lover. I don't think Sleep even shows up because there's no way you can point to a dialogue between him and this god, Sleep that separates it from any other dialogue. The only maternal figure that appears is in the lyric from TMBTE "Godmother, rise up I need you to see me for what I have become". If Vessel has indeed indicated that his lover lost their child that's almost uncomfortably intimate for me. I can't argue on that point. This song, the Apparition, is Vessel reconciling his idea of the lover versus the reality of her. He dreams of her but when he wakes up he has to face how she really is. The real physical effects of her won't leave, but his dreaming of her might. The turning tide means, I believe, that he's starting to leave even his dreams of her behind but he still feels for her so much that waking up to the reality of their ended relationship desolates him to self harm. A turning tide is a metaphor used in describing battles. A tide turns when the losing side begins to win.

It could be both....
