1 day agoThis sounds like a classical piano-rock-ballad from the 80s or so. Very mature. It touches on themes like what happens at the end of fame, mental health and now we are allowed not to only peek through that small window into the emotional waiting room of his mind, now he fully opens up and lets us experience, what he feels. It sounds like that quarter life crisis people often have, when they reach their mid-twenties or turn thirty. And it is heartbreaking again. He sounds jaded, but his voice is so wonderful and clean, like always. No surprises, no breakdown, just pure beauty in the music. A bit of gospel music, too. Worship.

1 day agoI love that they put the songs in different houses. Surely another one from the feathered Host here – which is vessels host, and the one fighting against all what fame made his new reality become.
Glad I picked that the cycle must end!

1 day agoListening to the song I could only feel a mixture of relief and terrible sadness. I don't know if any of the band members will read this, but for my part as a fan I want to say that I understand that they can't keep up with the "fame". I fully understand that they are human and have very difficult times, but I really want to thank them for the music they make. Since I listened to it for the first time it connects with me and my emotions in a way that is hard to explain. And that is one of my biggest longings to feel that connection and not just empty things. So thank you again for being there with your music and helping to keep it going, I don't consider there is a single boring song and if I could I would give you a hug. I consider it impossible for you to be forgotten.

1 day agoim happy for sleep token that you sold out the usa in ten minutes but im also sad because alot of people are jumping into metal that probably dog it forever like some house wife ya im gatekeeping metal is the only genre that forever can blend any other genre and be embraced

1 day agoI wonder if the writer (IDC who it is) is finally having a much needed ego death. It feels like they pretended at an ego death but never truly killed it/had it killed.

1 day agoEh, emergence and caramel were way better, I can’t really vibe w this one
@tabbychan516
1 day agoWell, thats gonna be a different experience. We can not understand how the band must feel. We can just make the experience better for them by being respectful of their boundaries.
Thank you for this contribution. Stay who you are.

1 day agoThis is my first song I've listened to this person but I've been having a rough time for a while now,
show more show lessand I realize now with this song. I have been telling people less about my problems, because it doesn't seem to help
So this song was really good to hear in the moment.
It was nice to pretend I told someone

1 day agoThis album feels like vessel is clearing the garden of weeds.
Finding the real fans who are here for the music and getting rid of the “stalkers and fans that are only here to sexualise him”
I truly hope that those who made vessel feel like this get the karma they deserve

1 day agoEvery new song form this album becomes my new favourite, it just keeps getting deeper and deeper. Towards the end we truly wont be able to see the bottom.

1 day agoSuch a beautiful song thank you Vessel❤
@ashen_strix
1 day agoI feel alone here, but this song does not hit at all after the first listen. There are some very nice parts, but the overall song is so simple especially after Emergence and Caramel that I'm a little unfazed.

1 day agoLyrics:
[Verse 1]
Well, I've been waking up under blades, blue blossom days
If only Damocles would hit me back
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
Would prevent my head from fading to black
[Pre-Chorus]
And it feels like falling into the sea
From outer space in seconds to me
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until they look like harmony
[Chorus]
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone
And who will I be when thе empire falls?
Wake up alonе and I'll be forgotten
[Verse 2]
Well, I know I should be touring, I know these chords are boring
But I can't always be killing the game
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows will do anythin' but feel the same
[Pre-Chorus]
And it feels like falling into the deep
From somewhere way up over the peaks
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until the tape runs out on me
[Chorus]
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
[Bridge]
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell
[Chorus]

1 day agoEven in Arcadia meaning approves what’s going to be in this album. Arcadia is a perfect place ( utopian) just Heaven/ Eden , everybody’s dream. But it’s on surfaces and bad deep things are just unseen. I can’t even imagine how it may be hard for the true artist to feel the burden of everybody’s expectations. Nothing lasts forever and it hurts.
