🎥: @yep3348 on Tiktok

Someone on here said that Vessel played the sheet music that was just released (or some version of the sheet music anyway) during the intro to Rain at one show. I found a video on Tiktok of it and wanted to share it here!

So to recap:

House Veridian and Feathered Host put up posts of morse code, which led to both actual useful information both IRL and about online stuff related to it and the past "72" hints we got, but also of course, fuckery and shitposts because thats what we do here lmao

Which people then took the useful information and went to those locations and apparently found QR codes that lead you to these which are STUNNING btw

And these are all confirmed ARG stuff from HV and FH.

SEPARATELY FROM THESE are leaks of album stuffs, which you will not find on THIS blog and will almost certainly not find on other corners of STumblr bc we dont do that shit here. What we are talking about are NOT leaks, they are just part of the game we are sharing.

And I think that's all we've got working so far. That's what you missed on Glee!

i still can't get over the fact how the new album is even in arcadia.

like. take me back to eden, and now even in arcadia.

take me back to eden, which is a paradise that was inhabited in and later lost due to the sin of eating the forbidden fruit.

even in arcadia, which is an idyllic paradise of a real region in greece. a concept that was romanticized and explored during the renaissance that is said to be unobtainable and lost.

and the phrase "even in" -- referring to the phrase "et in arcadia ego," roughly meaning "even in arcadia, there i am." a phrase used as a title to painter nicolas poussin's painting (left) depicting three shepherds and a woman. yet, this work was inspired by a work of the same name done by artist guercino (right), done about a decade before. and his work has themes of memento mori, a reminder that death is always There, with the image of a skull reinforcing the idea of the title.

all just to say...

vessel wants to be taken back to eden -- back to a way when things were idyllic and perfect. and yet, if he obtains this, if he somehow gets to arcadia, he's met with the harsh reality that his paradise is unobtainable and lost. "i" -- whether that be sleep, death, or some other figure -- they are still there in what appears to be paradise, even if vessel wants to escape from them...

Anyone else remember those interviews Vessel did in 2017-19? Did you know those essentially disprove the existence of Sleep as a deity?

Don't get me wrong, this fun theatrical story of a deity and his torment of a person he uses to spread his message to the world is very interesting to think about but I constantly find myself stuck on certain details. Things just don't line up, you can't exactly create a coherent story without having to create part of it yourself or heavily infer major parts of the story. This alone has led me to creating a Google Doc to analyze the lore of this band and digging much further into the band. While working on a section dedicated to explaining the complicated existence of this deity, I came across old interviews with Vessel that fully disprove the entire idea of Sleep.

“He is the oldest God, a primal majesty that has endured the ages unperturbed by the mortality of a flawed and chaotic human race… He is everyone. He is you. There’s a power in music that binds us all, every note relates to another. He showed me a vision of a world filled with depth and texture.” (Metal Hammer, July 25, 2017)

 “There exists a considerable body of art that explores the deeper recesses of the human mind… Sleep Token serves as a means to explore this on an individual basis. The music is a representation of one individual’s deepest and most fundamental emotions and desires. This is what people connect to. They see themselves in this individual, and the music becomes about them.” (Metal Hammer, August 1, 2018)

Between both of these quotes, we can gather that Sleep does exist but isn't the deity everyone thinks he is. Rather Sleep is a personification of how one's emotions and desires push them in life.
