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.

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.

Tagging @moonchild-in-blue & @sleepanonymous bc I scanned it bc of you guys.

a love letter to “this place will become your tomb”

I will never stop talking about how comforting the line "Oh, but worry not" followed by that gorgeous ass piano in Missing Limbs is.

Like whatever you say man; mind is cleared, I'm in my lane, I'm unbothered and moisturized like tf

I am never forgiving Vessel for closing Sundowning with the song Blood Sport and opening This Place Will Become Your Tomb with Atlantic. Sir how could you do that to your fans? This is just too painful 😭😭

[lifemod17]

And if I let this place become my tomb?!? What then? What are you gonna do about it??

Sleep Token - The Love You Want

Can we take a moment to appreciate the quiet crying at the end of "Bloodsport", the soft sighs at the end of "Jaws", or the Barely Concealed Rage at the end of "Gods"????!!!

Aaaand the Sleep Token lyrics drawings come to a close! Ending it with one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite songs of theirs. Ignore the fact that it’s a bunch of Eden imagery for a song that’s actually off TPWBYT lol. This series was so much fun, maybe I’ll revisit it sometime!

Materials: Dip pen with black and red ink, micron, white gel pen, digital manipulation to invert text color

my thoughts on the new sleep token masks and what's next:

the boys have been hinting at this type of change for a while now, iii's paint slowly turning red and iv and ii taking off their masks at the show just before wembley. I think thr new album will be more metal and overall more heavy, similar to their songs vore and gods.

I don't think these changes are necessarily meant to be seen as a part of the TMBTE cycle, they quite literally said "a new era" on each of their posts, these masks are hinting at and showing us what to expect for the next era. Sleep Token is very deliberate with what they choose to do appearance wise and their lore so although these masks are a very drastic change, it's all part of the plan.

NOW for lore.... TPWBYT and Sundowning were kinda defeat albums, Vessel being at his lowest while TMBTE is a redemption album, Vessel taking control back in his life from Sleep and his insecurities/past faults. that being said- the next album will probably be Sleep fighting Vessel back. I think what's happening is that Sleep takes different forms of Vessels insecurities and past faults so Sleep is using this to their advantage, using the other vessels (ii, iii, and iv) as their puppets. the toxic back and forth cycle between Sleep and Vessel is ending so Sleep is taking the manipulation up a notch. the new masks look very intimidating and it's all deliberate, Sleep is possessing the other vessels and shaping them into Vessels (i) fears as a way to get to Vessel (i), I mean, what would be a better way to get to Vessel if not to use the band as a way to get to him?

people say the masks clash too much and they don't look consistent but I think that's exactly what's supposed to happen. Sleep is using ii, iii and iv as Vessels INDIVIDUAL insecurities. Vessel sees the others and its a mirror of his faults. or maybe they quite literally wanted to look more individual rather than have the same look as one another 🤷‍♀️

the next album will be like a videogame boss fight between Vessel and sleep

some other stuff I noticed and some more theories. do these mean anything? who knows! this is just me rambling:

Vessel has runes written all over his body, I couldn't exactly make out what they say but just going off the fact that it's runes- it can either be 1. a protection barrier from Sleep or 2. another way that Sleep is slowly taking over vessel

it seems like the mouths on the masks are getting wider and wider in order from ii, iv, iii, and then Vessel. while all the others have the band sigil across their eyes, ii is the only one who has it across his mouth. considering ii is the second vessel and Sleep is struggling to control Vessel(i), what if theyre going for ii? using him as the main vessel? he also imo has the most intimidating looking mask out of everyone so...

or maybe iii is gonna get a mic and thats why his mask is open HEHE

my sister pointed this one out- iii had gold on his hands as he was transitioning to the red body paint and as we all know, iii and iv are very touchy on stage, iii always lifting ivs mask up, them kissing, etc etc. now iv has gold on his mask, what if iiis gold paint from his hands transferred to ivs mask? what would this mean? IDK maybe it's another Sleep tactic or we're looking too much into it lmao

iv also has Vessels leg wraps on his arm? what's up with that?

ANYWAYS lmk your thoughts, my mind is going crazy rn and I think people are taking the mask changes at face value rather than thinking about why they look the way they do now and how it fits in the lore
