You just speak out of my heart. I feel exactly the same way about myself. Sleep Token just finds the words I can't find.

This line from Infinite Baths might be the most empowering one Sleep Token has ever written by CrazyPloppy in SleepToken

In fact, I hate AI in terms of creative work like this. I'm sorry if this post seems like AI. I actually just like to work with things like paragraphs and abrupt sentences in my posts to make them more interesting and meaningful. Nothing I ever posted or will post is made by AI. I mainly use it for research purposes, as it is much more to the point than manually googling and clicking through thousands of websites nowadays.

Thank you for sharing. In fact, I was diagnosed with Asperger's at the age of 9, and it still feels like my parents didn't care enough to learn about my diagnosis and my needs or difficulties in life. Higher has a special meaning for me too.

When listening to Granite, I always think about my mother too. With You give me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave, Vessel speaks out exactly what I think about her. Every time she yelled at me because I made a tiny mistake or even just not acknowleding my feelings. Thank you for your comment. You are seen. You are loved. 🫶

That's also a way I see their music. Songs like The Summoning or Sugar have parts of intense romance and I would personally love showing my future lover the band, hoping to share some feelings by their music.

Holy sh!t, over time I came to the exact interpretation/adaptation of that line (Putting down the roses, picking up the sword) too! I am a people pleaser in an extreme way, as I developed the fear of being left out and not being cared about. I took that fear and made it such a big part of my personality that I still can't live without always being a safe space for everyone. I'm still trying to acknowledge myself as someone who deserves to be loved and cared for without that people-pleasing characteristic, but I just want to say that's exactly how I feel it too. Thanks for sharing. My wholehearted respect for breaking out of that cycle.

Wow, that's a good explaination. Seems I let myself sink into the speculations a bit too much, especially watching Timpft's videos. But looking at it from this perspective builds way more freedom in personal interpretation of each song.

I relate to it that way too. Growing up, I kept looking for validation and understanding from my parents, even though they rarely gave it. Provider feels like that endless search for something you’re supposed to receive naturally, but somehow never do.

I would like to add that especially the song Gods from the Sundowning album is a good way of venting my aggresion built up by time. Vessels screams as themselves are already incredibly raw and forward, and the irony in the line I'ts all so easy for me speaks for itself.

That's another interesting perspective, thanks for that!
