You really nailed the interpretation. Incredibly smart. "Bandage up the trenches" are the self inflicted cuts on his arm. "Flood me like Atlantic, anything to get me to sleep" is painkillers through an IV

You've found the rabbit hole that is Sleep Token. They don't have a genre as their music is all over the place. Even crazier, it's basically just one guy (Vessel) who creates and records all of the singing and instrumentation except for the drums. I highly recommend checking out "Ascensionsism", "Granite", "The Summoning", and "Take Me Back To Eden" (3rd album title track) as well as "Alkaline", "High Water", and "Sugar". The lyrics in all of them are very deep. These 3 albums are part of a trilogy of one long tragic and toxic love story.

One of the slangs in the UK for ambulances is "blues". That's what I've read,at least.

Oh I'm stoked to see you react to more - you got the meaning of the lyrics right off the bat. You're going to be amazed by the lyricism. I recommend Ascensionism, Granite, Blood Sport (from the room below). I also recommend using Genius lyrics instead of lyric vids, since a lot of these lyric videos have incorrect lyrics (ST doesnt release official lyrics - we've had to decipher them over the years).

i really like your thoughts about the doctors and nurses being the ones who talk to him and dont understand how to help. my first interpretation was that he woke up in a hospital surrounded by family and loved ones, whom also cannot understand his pain and dont know how to help him. Because honestly, they can't. They can be logical and supporting and all of that but once a person's evaluation of their own life is unworthy of continuance, the only real way out of that is by one's own will.

Pretty spot on with the interpretation, lots people also think this however there is another camp of folks that believe there was an accident and there was a miscarriage, this is hinted at in a few other songs. As far as the sleep desire is just to not be awake, because there is no pain while asleep or with sleep

With all the metaphors I can’t believe people think it was a real car accident and she lost a baby. The dashboard is his body and not bearing the weight of two means she can’t be there to support him like he does for her. Just like people thin TNDNBTG is about his godmother 🤦🏻♀️ I want to know why he’s entangled like lovers with his godmother and how he knows she will never be his.

@darcystcorner2580 I mean there was definitely some kind of accident that caused scarring, you can see it on his face even through the paint in some of their later works. His face (mouth area) was pretty unmarked in the video for "The way that you were" in 2018 and then around the time he started referencing a car crash in his lyrics (Sundowning and TPWBYT) his lower face and chin are deeply scarred which you can see in other videos and live performances. He references a car accident in multiple works very explicitly so I don't think it's a jump to connect those lyrics with his new face scars. In the music video for "fall for me" in 2021 you see a flash of his unpainted lower face and it is VERY marred with scar tissue.

@@TD-kv2qm I have a different opinion and have you seen the pic in google with him and his new lady? No scars on his face at all.

@darcystcorner2580 I don't look at anything regarding his personal identity. That's fine that your opinion is different but you can literally see some kind of scarring on his chin 🤷♀️ Esp like I said in the fall for me video. Also on the photoshoots for magazine covers even thru the paint.

You nailed that interpretation of the failed suicide....it took me an embarrassing amount of listens to get that. If you go down this path, just remember that most of the songs on the first 3 albums are about a failed toxic relationship with a former musical partner and the aftermath (and finally acceptance). It is a lyrically and musically intense experience and well worth the voyage. Great reaction!

Some of the lyrics are wrong in this video. But you nailed it pretty much. About the drowning thing. And yes, many theorize that this is either a failed suicide attempt or other theories involve a car wreck, just because some other songs references that. All of their music is tied together into a trilogy of albums. It's Vessel's (lead singer) story, about toxic relationships, longing for someone to love you like you love them. If you want to fall down the rabbit hole 🕳️, Start with the first album Sundowning, then this album This Place Will Become Your Tomb, and their most recent album Take Me Back To Eden. They have a couple singles and 2 EPs before Sundowning, but you could start with the Albums to follow the story. Vessel writes all parts of the music except for the drums, and plays all instruments on the albums except for drums.... Google their lore and maybe the songs will start to make more sense 😂. Vessel is a poet and has the most interesting lyrics. Truly a genius of the modern era. I subbed, can't wait for you to do more Sleep Token. Worship

Call me when they bury bodies underwater It's blue light over murder for me Crumble like a temple, built from future daughters To wasteland when the oceans recede Merry in the morning, “earn your bitter fodder” It's easier to try not to eat So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches Anything to get me to sleep Lyrics were wrong on the video you had watched. “Earn your Bitter fodder”. A lot of ppl think it’s “father” but it isn’t.
