I take it as that's how many times he's attempted to kill the thoughts and love for her, but no matter what happens, the thoughts and love win him over, to the point where he's powerless. And process continues to loop. Sad. Relatable. Great reaction!
The red fuzzy stuff is reindeer moss, but I'm fairly sure that place represents his heart. When I got to see them for the first time in NYC, our friend from the UK had flown over to come with us. She made bracelets for our whole group that had TLYW beads and a white ribbon so we could all have the ribbons up front while he was singing this song 🥹 still have bracelet on my steering console.
I definitely think he is walking through his heart. The bows are on the girls wrists. Rather than hurt her he hurts himself then ties a bow to represent his heartbreak ❤️🩹. The red & blue coloring throughout as well all the red splatters here and there. ❤
When I saw them live at Wembly in December they had dancers on stage for some of the songs, dancing in the same style as this music video. Really brought a unique atmosphere.
This is my favourite one! Absolutely beautiful lyrics; no idea how someone can write like that And the very unique bouncy synth intro is beautiful The genre changes also perfectly explain this band to a newbie haha
Oooo, probably one of the first ST songs that cemented my love for their lyricism. Heart wrenching video too. I still gasp a bit when Vessel is forced to stab himself. I love this song live. It's so emotional.
I heard another interpretation that this is his heart (the red) and the white ribbon is how many times his heart has been broken. Either way, absolutely amazing video and heartbreaking at the same time😢
I just got the same thought watching this again. When he picks up the light and goes into the cave, he's going deeper into his heart. Makes sense to me!
The video for blood sport (from the room below) is incredible. Also his cover of Loathe's song"is it really you" is something you will likely love. For what it's worth, Loathe is a band you should check out as well.
Love all your reactions to Sleep Token, happy that I found you here 🥰 I‘m from germany and travelling to London in december to see them live for the first time 🖤
I wish they did more videos. However, I get that listening to the music content rather than being distracted by the visuals. That said. I agree. This is stunning and I have seen it a few weeks ago, obviously had to watch for your reaction. Side bar, woman. The AOS poster. After my heart. ❤
Blood Sport and this video bring tears to my eyes everytime when put together. She is still his weapon of choosing, and continues to hurt himself over and over just to remember. He describes that feeling of having unresolved feelings and how it can hurt, but you can come to need to feel that pain. Vessel is a true artist
Of course, on May 27, 2024, at Massey Hall, the concert event, of my life elevated my love for ST to new levels. This concert also healed parts of me forever. Truly life-changing (not kidding). This track was one I was truly hoping ST would have played. It marks the middle of the trilogy in a smart cohesive way because Vessel seems to be marking off the number of times he has tried to let go and failed. From here, the rest of the discography descends into a new level of madness leading up to a choice of permanent misery...or departure from the torture of loving without reciprocation. ST has written the soundtrack to my love life. The buried hurts from past heartbreaks re-emerged from listening to ST and those pains had to be given flight. ST has saved one life, namely, mine. They allowed me to give myself permission to release all of my madness to the night for good. I am forever grateful to Vessel. Perfect reaction!
This is one of my favs! Great video. He tries to cut ties with the love he lost. Finds himself back there time and time again. Unable to forget and move on.
what I have always interpreted both the song and video to me is like he’s ready to try and move on from the love he feels for this person and he’s ready to face it but in the end he can’t actually accept the fact that he needs or wants to and he always lets his feelings and this person win, even if they’ve already left him behind. but at the same time i’ve been in and am currently in that exact same situation (it ended 2 years ago like girl come on 😭 lol) so in my brain that’s how it connects for me. also I second everyone who is saying react to bloodsport (from the room below) it left me in tears.
Hi Ashlena👋🏼 Everybody is sleeping on, Stephen Sanchez. Would you please react to his songs, "High" "Be More" "Until I Found You"? Think you're really gonna love his songs, and his voice. Thanks. Take care.♥️
