Sleep Token - Alkaline 

Has anybody noticed that this song is track 7 on the album? Seven also happens to be "Neutral" on the pH scale. "She's not acid nor alkaline." Clever.

''oooouh let's talk about chemistry'' hit me hard everytime

The drum fill from 0:00 to 3:31 is great

"Son, are you studying for your chemestry test tomorrow?" "Yup"

Vessel: "Let's talk about Chemistry" Me: *pulls out notepad

One of the best choruses of the year

How did I miss this absolute Blockbuster for 2 years??

He shows how powerful he is and how much control he has over his surroundings but the song tells how powerless he is and how he’s subjected to her will. She’s the only thing he can’t control and she weakens him no matter his personal strength. She fits him perfectly. Is that beautiful or disastrous? It’s neither and it’s both at the same time. I fucking love these guys. His words are so drowned in his vocals. Music that makes you feel something again not just bang your head and brutal. It’s sorrow at its most beautiful place.

Their drummer really didn't need to flex on us like this. I'm too weak. Worship.

Vessel is a Sith Lord CONFIRMED

If my science teacher played this during lessons, I would be a nuclear physicist

I swear this whole album is the most amazing Gothic love letter, let me say it makes my hopeless romantic side and goth side collide in a way that gives me chills. Like a drug I can't get enough of, the music and words just 🤤

Spiritbox and Sleep Token dropping albums in the same month? what a time to be alive

When she's a 7 on the pH scale.

Idk where this band has been all this time in my life but I’m glad I found them now

I love this song. I'm a high school English teacher and I use songs to help teach poetry to my grade 10s. This song would be a great song to show the kids on finding the meaning behind the words.

“Oooh let’s talk about chemistry” “Yes daddy”

I am an old guy and lifelong metalhead who in recent years began to feel as if I'd heard all metal has to offer. I was wrong. Sleep Token is special, and the first metal band I've been excited about in years. I fucking LOVE this band.

Recently discovered Sleep Token. I might say that it’s reignited my emotions, I was struggling with depression and emotional exhaustion for last couple of years, nothing seems to hit me. And now I’m feeling again, all there albums are such a treasure with nearly weeping at the end of a Euclid and Bring me back to Eden. ST, Vessel, II - thank you guys, love from darkest corners of my heart.

First band I’ve felt the buzz for in a long time!

absolute chef kiss

This band has me in an absolute chokehold, they're all I can listen too now.

I would literally have this play at my wedding and make the lyrics part of my vows

Lets also not forget how amazing his voice is. His songs are "offerings" to his Goddess.

The only problem with this song is that it ends. Worship

Found this band today and they could have a song about a grocery list and I'd still listen

I’m so beyond in love with their art form, holy shit.

tbh, I am a bit regret that I have discovered Sleep Token for myself, because I have this huge emotional hungover after their music. Everything about it is so awesome that it feels like addiction a bit.

This band is about to become huge. They just have it all.

The more you listen - the better it gets

How is sleep token not the biggest band in the world?!? They transcend music. Worship.

For anyone who dated a Borderline or Distant Avoidant type of girl, this song just cuts through your soul like no other... The lyrics are sooo perfect to describe that pain.

Every once in a while something changes And she's changing me It's too late for me now, I am altered There is something beneath She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire Ooh, let's talk about chemistry 'Cause I'm dying to melt through To the heart of her molecules 'Til the particles part like holy water If anything She's an undiscovered element Either born in hell or heaven-sent Either way I'm into it She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire

This is a cool trailer for Resident Evil 9.

This song just isn't long enough! I love it when Sleep Token goes dark. They do it so well.

He’s got happy hands

Here's the lyrics: [Verse 1] Every once in a while Something changes And she's changing me It's too late for me now I am altered There is something Beneath [Chorus] She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire [Verse 2] Ooh, let's talk about chemistry 'Cause I'm dying to melt through To the hеart of her molecules 'Til thе particles part like holy water If anything She's an undiscovered element Either born in hell or heaven-sent Either way, I'm into it [Chorus] She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire Not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire

I'm so sorry to my ears that I have only just discovered this band. It's going to be a long night delving deep into everything they've done. Absolutely epic!

The addiction to this band is slowly over taking me. They all have us in a chokehold who are we trying to fool.

Damn! I just discovered Sleep Token in time when I couldn't find anything new or refreshing in modern music anymore. AND IT JUST F***ING BANGS!!! For the first time in over 15 years I feel like there's really something new coming. You are the first band ever to probably dethrone Linkin Park from the summit of my personal annual playlist. For the last 3 days I couldn't really listen to any other band cuz it just felt boring. You can't be assigned to any normal music genre. And apart from that: As a singer, I really admire great technical nuances from you. Great sound, great technique, no matter what you're doing. WORSHIP!

Verse 2 hits so hard and the lyrics are so good Oooh, let’s talk about chemistry Cuz I’m dying to melt through To the heart of hеr molecules Til the particlеs part like holy water If anything She’s an undiscovered element Either born in hell or heaven sent Either way I’m into it

Just saw this band open for In This Moment, fucking blown away, went straight to their merch table after they got done playing and added all their music to my playlist after the show. Listening to this online for the first time you'd probably think that his voice is like super doctored in the studio to sound this good, but he sounds just like this live and when the CHUG hits it rattles your fuckin ribcage. Phenomenal experience, I'm so glad my first experience with this band was live. Also, their bassist is fuckin crazy. Dude was doing karate kicks and playing behind his head and shit the entire time

As a chemistry teacher, I feel validated by my hypothesis you can perfectly blend Art and Science. Thank you, Sleep Token, this is awesome!

thank you to sleep token for teaching us basic chemistry as well. Literally made me go and search the acid vs alkaline difference

Hello ladies and gentlemen it's been a while. Here are the lyrics, any suggestions are welcome :) Every once in a while something changes, And She's changing me. It's too late for me now, I am altered. There is something beneath. She's not acid nor alkaline, Caught between black and white, Not quite either day or night, She's perfectly misaligned. I'm caught up in her design, And how it connects to mine, I see in a different light, The object of my desire. Oooh, let's talk about chemistry, Cause I'm dying to melt through, To the heart of Her molecules, Til the particles part like Holy Water. If anything She's an undiscovered element, Either born in Hell or Heaven sent, Either way I'm into it. She's not acid nor alkaline, Caught between black and white, Not quite either day or night, She's perfectly misaligned. I'm caught up in her design, And how it connects to mine, I see in a different light, The object of my desire. Not acid nor alkaline, Caught between black and white, Not quite either day or night, She's perfectly misaligned. I'm caught up in her design, And how it connects to mine, I see in a different light, The object of my desire. Worship.

The drumming is really what makes it on this track. Stellar.

How hilariously awesome would it be if the intruders were II, III, & IV in those suits? I'm just sitting here creating my own lore to add to their lore. Like, they came after him but lost to his powers and they've been "turned". They now support Vessel's musical career. Lol. Worship 🙌🖤

I used to be heavy into metal, it was beautiful and touched me. My anxiety doesn't let me listen to a lot of the heavier stuff anymore. But this, THIS, touches me in the same way metal once did. It relaxes me, it touches me, it makes me feel alive and calm

Been on a sleep token binge spree after hearing their two new songs 🔥🔥🔥

Just about screamed like a 13 year old girl when I saw this, ngl.

Pretty new to Sleep Token, and deeply regretting the time lost that i could've already been enjoying their music. This song,...it hits a space i didnt know still existed, i adore it.

I truly believe that this is the best song to put on with a good pair of headphones. The absolute depth in the layers of the music and the vocals is unreal. It is very possible that this is the best song of the year.

Honestly, when I say I've been waiting my whole life to hear this, I mean that. Everything I've been missing musically is right here. I just found my new favorite band.

These lyrics are insane. I'm obsessed.

i cant wait to grow old with this band

Best Friday in a while. Sleep Token is back with yet another banger! WORSHIP edit. The drummer is still an absolute unit.

I can't get this out of my head. Freaking BRILLIANT. The lyrics, the drums, the video. His voice. Ugh. I'm into it.

I just discovered this life changing band and thank you for the hours of binging on iTunes. This song is how I feel all the time with no voice to say it. Thank you truly vessel!

Literally each member of this band is amazing musician and they are truly a masterpiece

I love what they’re doing to Rock music. Every once in awhile something changes….

Boys I think this is it. I think Sleep Token is about to blow up and get the recognition they deserve.

Vessel is the conduit through which all energy flows. He is the life source of this band. Although they all feed off of each other’s energy.

These lyrics are highly relatable wow. The chemistry in my head is fucked cause of mild psychosis and my personality disorder. I wish someone could have loved me enough to write something so beautiful. Whoever she is thank you for loving her and accepting her as she is. No one has or would or could do that for me. I just found this song but it will forever mean the world to me. Thank you.

Sleep has escaped me tonight. Now I understand why. Worship.

Today I graduated college and instead of celebrating afterwards, I went home to blast this on speakers. Worth it.

I’ve been writing since I was a child and finally started vocal lessons. Then I discover this band. And fuck man. I’m 36 years old. I’ve been writing more than 20 years and I’ll never touch this. Fuck this is so good. I have no business owning a microphone or trying to write again. This band is actual music perfection.

Addicted to this music and finally someone who, in my opinion, really understands how to implement it, lyrics, melody and the secret pinch of whatever it may be. I LOVE THIS BAND!

I love everything about this. Song- top tier. Vessel- Sith Lord. Barrel and trigger discipline from the intruders- exceptional. Drummer- can literally do no wrong.

She's not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire Not acid nor alkaline Caught between black and white Not quite either day or night She's perfectly misaligned I'm caught up in her design And how it connects to mine I see in a different light The object of my desire Hauntingly beautiful. Great job blending the hand movements with the monster CGI btw.

am i the only one who just discovered them through this last album and is now obssessing and searching out all things sleep token orrr?????

I found Sleep Token this morning. I’m infatuated. Worship.

Class: What are we learning today? Teacher: 1:29

That drummer is an undiscovered element 🔥 🥁. Still a unit

With all the buzz around TMBTE, I feel like their older stuff isn't as appreciated. But the lyricism of this song is on another level. Vessel is a master of metaphors and the rest of band plays their parts perfectly.

Never really got into heavy rock/metal but, Sleep Token is literally everything !!!! Worship

Vessel is an anomaly that SCP can’t contain.

I'm seriously hooked like what the fuck is this song.

This realy is the Imagine Dragons of metal.

His voice is hypnotique ❤

Whoever's drummin on this shit deserves every accolade & praise ever

They can't make a bad song stg. Can't wait for the new album. Worship.

in terms of lore i love the implication that Vessel is a creature that Escaped Containment and is just causing problems and making music

the song that started it all for me... from Thread The Needle to Take Me Back To Eden Sleep Token's music speaks for itself. I cant think of a single vocalist in the last 10 years atleast that has contributed so many undeniable bangers, and i'm not even sure if Vessel is even 30 years old. WILD TALENT. Lucky to be alive to see it.

best band ever and visual too ❤ Come to Brasil 🤘🤘

Why do Sleep Token songs always feel like they are too short?

i will listen to this song every day for the rest of my life and I will never get tired of the goosebumps I get.

I just discovered this song and I'm so in love with it. Fantastic. Just what I didn't know I need in my life. Sleep Token, you have my heart now ♥

You can say what you want about tiktok, but they put this song in my feed so I'm forever grateful for that x) love this so much.

Ok, I'm sold on Sleep Token. Have had their latest releases on repeat but checked out their past work and WOW. How I've gone this long without having heard of them before is insane.

Jesus christ that breakdown is absolutely SICK. Literal chills each time

The way this band has a chokehold on me is unreal I’ve only been able to listen to them for months now!

Not even two years after Sundowning and we're already getting this high quality content. Sleep Token immediately became one of my favourite bands of all time when I heard Dark Signs back in 2019 and I'm fucking stoked to see what's next. Worship

The way he sings is so different, it is such a breath of fresh air. Love it.

This band soothes the soul the same way Linkin Park does. Hits every emotion in the best way and pulls you out of the dark place.

The way this song and vessels vocals make me feel is unreal..... 😍

Sleep Token make me feel things no other band ever could. I'm so drawn to them and I can't help but w o r s h i p

How come no one is talking about the quality of the music video? It's AMAZING

Do you think when they wrote this, they knew they had written one of the best songs ever written?

This band is fresh. Unique sound, authentic. Love it when you find a band that is hard to place them in a specific genre. They're sound is amazing with clear influences from many different genres of music.

ST is not only the most underrated band on earth they are the next evolution of Rock music that we have been waiting for since 2001
