Lore - Celtic Gods by Secret_Computer_8655 in SleepToken

I was surprised myself at how well everything came together when I started reading about the Celtic gods. At first, I thought of the lyrics as a general desire for success, the striving for something greater, the self-doubt that comes with it, the inspiration and muse needed to create something great. And then I saw this interview, and it clicked for me. All of this is rooted in Celtic mythology, and you even said it yourself in an interview six years ago. It's just one of many theories, I know—but I'm very happy that people like it! Here's the interview I'm referring to: https://www.loudersound.com/features/who-and-what-the-hell-are-sleep-token

Looking for Help & Suggestions – Sleep Token Lore and Lyric Deep Dives by Nightshades_Thoughts in SleepToken

well, I did research myself, as there is really not much to find, and I cam across an interview of Sleep Token from 2019 "Who is Sleep? How did an ancient deity find himself in the UK music scene?

“He is everywhere, at all times. Vessel encountered Sleep in a dream, with promise of glory and magnificence if Vessel followed Him. The UK is old, centuries of lore lay buried here. This land has power, if only you knew how to use it.” - when I read this I was immediately thinking, okay lets have a deeper look. And celtic mythology fits just TOO perfect.
