Ok, so I had another Sleep Token thought, and I haven’t seen anyone mention this (someone very well could have), BUT:

Ok, so there’s Sundowning, TPWBYT, and TMBTE, right?

Sundowning: Sun = Fire

TPWBYT: The cover is clearly someone underwater so = Water

TMBTE: Eden is a garden. Garden = Earth (Also could count as Spirit.)

All they need is Air!

Like, they’re so intentional with everything they do—sure, this could be a coincidence, but is it??

I know the trilogy is complete with TMBTE, but what if their next album has something to do with air/being free?? Even though one part of Vessel’s journey is finished, this next phase still connects with his past.

I just had to get this thought out.

this place will become your tomb is a deceptively seductive album which hides its grief in the core of its tracks. take a track like “descending,” for example. sonically, it is akin to tracks like the weeknd’s “the hills” with a descending baseline and cool trap beat. seductive, sexy, and evokes the smoky veneer of a cool and collected man— detached, objective.

lyrically, it reveals a man desperate to understand and be understood, “i asked, and you answered, but you eat your words in frame. at last discovered, you can’t recall my name… i’ve been left no choice, don’t you see that?” the song vacillates wildly between the objective, smoky veneer of the man vessel is projecting, and the true, raw, and desperate person seeking fair and honest connection behind the mask (no pun intended).

even songs that are more overt in their sexual inclinations such as “like that,” with the piercing, languid bass line that acts as anchor to lead the listener further down sleep token’s seduction, is riddled with the desperation of a man asking his affective object what, if anything, will get them to stay. what, if anything that he does, do you like? do you like how he “fall[s] into your eyes like a grave?” how he’s so desperate for your attention that the mere mention of your name is enough to “bury him to the sound of [it]?” do you like that? his pleading desperation for your presence? will that convince you to love him?

it’s clear that, at the core of this album, is a man still grappling with both his fear of rejection and the bliss of loving something or someone truthfully. i mentioned earlier that “descending” vacillates wildly between the cool veneer and the raw emotional core of vessel’s relationship to his affective object, but that is also the case for the whole album.

i don’t think it’s mere coincidence that after every “sexy” track on the album, it is immediately followed by a song that is painfully honest about the need to connect. for example, “descending” is followed by “telomeres”— the closest to a pure love song out of sleep token’s discography. “like that” is followed by “the love you want”— a gut-wrenching reminder to his affective object that, no matter what, he will still hold onto the love they seek from everyone else but him. for evermore.

it is even bookended by two of the most emotional songs from sleep token’s discography, “atlantic” and “missing limbs,” tracks that are both about the overwhelming weight of grief and loss, with the former likening it to drowning in ocean water, and the latter likening it to a literal loss of a part of one’s own body.

mimicking a conversation with himself, vessel goes back and forth between tracks in an attempt to mask the desperate heartache he feels with a thin veneer of seduction. however, like sleep token has always said, the veneer cannot last forever and, eventually, it recedes back to reveal the painful, honest truth. that, at the core of this album’s seductiveness, no matter how well it slips on the mask of detached sexiness— donning it like a lover’s arm draped over a shoulder, stands a man who is, like so many of us, desperate for love and intimacy.

The last thirty seconds of Missing Limbs bothers me a lot.

Because it feels like a predator approaching from the murky waters below and it's just getting faster and you're powerless to defend yourself against it.

And then it immediately blends into Chokehold.

Like, that is warning bells if I've ever heard them.

Someone please understand what I'm getting at.

#sleep token #missing limbs #danger is approaching #and you can do nothing but what it #this place will become your tomb #tpwbyt #i'm actually going insane #Someone discuss this with me please #vessel sleep token #vessel #sleep token vessel #sleep token band

I just went ahead and scanned the TPWBYT booklet and inside of the CD sleeve, for everyone who wants to see the illustrations. I'm not entirely sure what this means but it kinda looks like the whales descend and decaying process. Basically the ocean became the whales tomb? If anyone can make sense of it, I'd like to know your interpretations bc I'm not smart enough for that lol.
