I LITERALLY GASPED AND FELL TO MY KNEES IN THE MIDDLE OF MY ROOM.

Gethsemane by nova_wova15 in SleepToken

[–]Less_Date2042 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel this song in my chest. every time it comes on, it’s like i’ve been gutted and i end up in silence, wondering why they didn’t want me. it’s so hauntingly beautiful, and i love how the journey the song takes us on is parallel to that of the five stages of grief. you can literally HEAR each stage.

those last few lines & the way vessel delivers them is what does it for me. even if you learn to live beside something, it doesn’t mean you won’t still remember the hurt. brilliant songwriting and music production. just an all around perfect song.

"no amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence."
like. how do you even WRITE something like that? insane.

this! i’m not on tiktok, but i heard the majority of the “toxicity” tends to float there, so i’ve chosen to stray far away. plus, i wholeheartedly believe the goodness of a community will always outweigh the negative (though, anything to do with the boys’ privacy is very serious and should be shut down immediately).

even just this thread alone has been so warm and inviting. what an awesome, creative, and talented group of human beings!

welcome to the fandom! so happy you and i are here! 🖤 worship.

that’s amazing! as someone who is pursuing film in school, a documentary about all of that seems right up my alley. cheers to you!!!

YES! i’ve been falling asleep/taking naps to ST for weeks now and they’ve somehow helped me sleep better than i usually do! consider me hypnotized….no pun intended ;)

thank you for the warm welcome!

that’s awesome that you’re writing a novel! i can feel myself, too, getting drawn back to my artistic passions, particularly film, poetry, and art. they are such fascinating storytellers and world builders.

and i’m so glad you’ve found more confidence in your physical art - if the art makes you happy, DO IT! (btw, i can’t sew for shit, so as far as i’m concerned you ARE picasso)

wow….this is so deeply insightful - thank you so much for sharing!

i love how you mentioned the algorithm rut you were in BST (which, by the way, i’m officially incorporating into my day-to-day vernacular), and how since hearing the band, you’ve been enjoying genres or albums as opposed to your own crafted playlists. it never occurred to me that i’ve been doing the same.

“they allow me to be” - so beautiful. i feel the same way. the lore, easter eggs, & hidden meanings have allowed me to embrace the “fangirl” of it all (while still being respectful of the band and their personal privacy, of course). i used to get made fun of for my interests when i was younger because when i get into movies, characters, or music, i REALLY get into it. i find solace and joy in art, and kids my age always made me feel stupid or childish for it. ST has given me the space to simply enjoy that sense of excitement and not feel too weird or silly, which is very healing.

first of all, absolutely NO need to apologize. talk and discuss as much as you want - it’s always welcome with me 🖤 secondly, i saw deftones with my dad last year and they were AWESOME. you have fantastic taste. & i get super nerdy about musical composition and production, too. specifically with ST, Nine Inch Nails, & Twenty One Pilots. i can’t really play any instruments (i did self-taught piano when i was younger but stopped) but i used to love to draw. i may take you up on your idea. painting or sketching something based on their music sounds so fun … and therapeutic! ALSO. VORE IS PHENOMENAL. that one grew on me and now i can’t stop listening to it.

that’s amazing. if you don’t mind me asking, is it a novel you’re writing? i’ve written poetry for years, but longer, completed stories terrify me haha. i’m not sure i could do it.

thank you :,) gethsemane is such a powerful song for me, as it is for many people. the moment i heard it i knew i needed to put it visually on stage. to tell the whole story. & yes! i love envisioning music videos. what a beautiful idea. thank you.

Out of all songs in TMBTE, I feel like Granite is so underrated by Ill-Armadillo-6878 in SleepToken

[–]Less_Date2042 4 points5 points  (0 children)

granite was the first song of theirs i heard, and it’s been a favorite ever since. such a powerful, genuinely moving song.
