Meaning / Analysis - Sleep Token - Levitate
Video that I recorded:
Same thing as text:
“I can lift you up your body is mostly blood
like water, a perfect flood
engulfing me again”
I always thought that our bodies are mostly water and not blood...
“I can lift you up” this makes me think about the countless times when I tried to lift someone up energetically because I noticed that they were not doing well. I should not do this because I'm still not healed and way too often trapped in trauma responses.
When you go to a concert/ ritual and feel the energy of the whole room then this can be very uplifting, too.
To me these first lines make only sense when you don't take them in a literal way.
I think it's interesting that he says “engulfing me again”. This reminds of the “scared shores” somehow.
But I don't really know what to make of it.
“and I can tell you won't
remember my cracking bones”
Just the thought of it really f*ing hurts.
Of course I am aware of the car-crash theories. I was in two car-accidents myself. None of them were my fault. I got rear-ended twice within one year. The second time could have been the end of this incarnation but I had guardian angels with me that day. I felt them. I learned a lot from this accident about accepting things that you can't change and about stop fighting what is.
And also materialistic things are just things. You can replace them so don't become too attached to them.
This also makes me think about “you can remember only when you're alone”, maybe this is connected.
Maybe the cracking bones are just a metaphor for some sort of ab*se or maybe even physical ab*se?
“the trauma we can't regrow
just as you leave again,no”
This feels just sad and I don't know why. I do sense a lot of past trauma in the lyrics in general but this is the only time he says the word trauma. To me his crying feels like a trauma response that he has no control over. I'm sorry for being extra “nice” today.
It's just...these two lines feel like a lot but I can't really figure them out.
“will you levitate
up where the angels inhabit?”
He believes in angels :)
Me, too Vessel.
This just sounds really nice and it makes you think, again, of someone who is dying and he just imagines them to be with angels soon.
“will you levitate
where I won't reach you?”
And that's when I start to scratch my head again.
Where I won't reach you? So does he mean Sleep? Has Sleep become his “drug of choice” or a way to escape from reality and he feels like it does him no good?!
“and we imitate
a story of perfect days
a ballad we fabricate
as you forget your words again”
Makes me think about someone with dementia again who keeps forgetting everything.
“and is that all you need
to merely pretend to be
falling in love with me?
Forgetting the agony again”
This just brings up the same ideas within me. It feels like it is directed towards someone who is dying.

Eliza Beth: You look... peaceful. It's concerning. Please stop
Lyric: I'm conflicted. I wanna fight him. But he's like this innocent precious... pastry or something. I'd feel bad. But the only way i know how to make Piper feel better is to hurt what hurt her??
Marielle: Maybe we should've just went with her?
Eliza Beth: No... she would have just acted like nothing was wrong.
Lyric: I don't know her yet... I don't even remember her name.... Maybe i could beat *her* up.
Marielle: Lyric please. Ever heard of "violence is never the answer?" Besides. They did nothing wrong. Him and Piper were never official. We just assumed they'd always end up together after they grew out of being shy.
Lyric: Well, one of em grew out of it...
