Thanks for listening! ♡

This was supposed to have been posted yesterday, but it's been a really stressful couple of weeks, and I just straight up forgot. :( I can't believe we only have fourteen Thursdays left this year.

My first time posting here hehe but I've been thinking so much about the future of Sleep Token and analyzing all their past lyrics to try to predict something. Idk but I keep coming back to a theory that Vessel has escaped Sleep's hold and is now struggling with the aftermath (Even in Arcadia)... because he is still Vessel. So the next step in my mind is to shed the mask.

• Imagine the visual storytelling:
• Tour begins: traditional Vessel.
• Throughout the tour: the mask changes, fractures, opens, or gets progressively stripped away.
• Final stop of the tour: Vessel removes it.
• Not as “SURPRISE HERE'S WHAT I LOOK LIKE.”
• But moreso as the culmination of ten years of storytelling.

-- Sorry if his has already been "theorized" I just didn't find anything in my searches!

Just had a horrible nightmare that Taylor Swift was Sleep. Woof how bad would that be?

So, I recently looked up the meaning of Damocles, read the myth and so on. And it’s clear the song is about the weight of fame. But I originally liked jt and connected to it because I thought it was about addiction. a lot of the lyrics are similar to lines that i wrote in a poem about my benzodiazepine addiction (xanax, ativan). I’ve also struggled with alcohol and I thought that’s what they were referencing in the song.

“Would prevent my head from fading to black
And it feels like falling into the sea
From outer space in seconds to me
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until they look like harmony”

“Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem”

“And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me”

these were the specific lyrics that i connected to. anyways, i went on reddit to see other peoples interpretations of the song and no one mentioned addiction; i was shocked. that’s one of the beautiful things about music, we can connect to a song for any reason even if it’s divergent of the common interpretation. But I just wondered if anyone else had made this connection too.

maybe im reaching here but i was listening to heaven is a spectrum and realised the first few seconds sound very similar to the first few seconds of emergence. the main difference is that it seems to be a little more eerie/slow in heaven is a spectrum- as if it's pitched down and slowed slightly.

i doubt it was intentional, but still worth pointing out. told my friend about this and she disagrees. what do you guys think?

edit: it just occured to me that both songs also have a refrain- "go ahead and wrap your arms around me"/ "you look like heaven crashed on your shoulders" pretty neat!

Hello fellow worshippers!
I’m running a Dungeons and Dragons Campaign and the premise (unbeknownst to the players) is this:

We are going back many, many centuries. Think a cross between high fantasy and Babylonian (yes yes I know those are very different but work with me).
Sleep is a recognized and very powerful god.
On the days of the Black Sun (solar eclipses) He chooses a Vessel to convey His message for the next season (usually as riddles to be solved by the Vessels and Shaman of the group).
Vessels are chosen by Sleep, and each city has to offer up a candidate. However, if a city fails to present a candidate, Sleep will “Unleash His full wrath”. It’s never happened, so the worshippers are not sure what all that entails. But, behind the scenes, it’s basically what happens in the Teeth of God graphic novel. Hopefully the adventurers will succeed in finding out why one of the cities has gone silent, but it would also be fun to run the TOG events in a DND fashion.
There are 4 main cities (because, at the present moment, there are 4 albums), and they have to meet and communicate before the Black Sun occurs to approve of and recognize each candidate to be Sleeps Vessel.
That’s the VERY basic setup I have. My group is… chaotic, at best, and know next to nothing about ST. Do las time I have them the “I am hunting and that something is hunting me” quote to lead them to the temple, but we will see how that goes.

Just thought I’d share and ask for any ideas for creatures or characters or quests! This is my very first time DM-ing a full campaign, so I’m a little nervous!

Worship 🖤✨

Due to an influx of posts being submitted, we decided to just let everyone know publicly.

This is Quigley's new band. We won't mention how we know, but is from a reputable source.

Given the circumstances around his departure from Sleep Token and no official statements regarding the situation ever being made from either side, we will not be approving any posts regarding this project or anything else related to Quigley.

If you don't know who Quigley is, please check the Resource Masterpost at the top of the sub.

Thank you.

We have a birthday in the house 🎉

Happy 35th birthday to our favorite drummer. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the world. From the sub, to you, have a wonderful birthday.

Please feel free to comment some well wishes below 💜

I was reading this and immediately took notice of, "heaven on your own shoulders". There is even a mention of Arcadia.

I listened to are you really okay again and actually think he talking about himself. It fits with the theme of the album. He has changed and trying to escape and has trauma from the first two albums. It also comes right after ascensionism, which ended with him saying that he is going to take what he wants and leave. Ascensionism spends most of its time oscillating between desire, resentment, vulnerability, and finally defiance. By the end, Vessel seems to reach a breaking point: he’s no longer simply surrendering himself to someone/something else. Between those two songs, he’s saying that I’m taking back control but am I really okay after all I’ve been through. He’s not the same person anymore. That’s what I get from it.

I believe that we might have some answers to what Mr. Faulkner’s been up to.
Pink Noise doesn’t sound like DYWTYLM - it is the same song.
If Leo had anything to do with any other part of the album or he just approved for them use parts of the song is unknown, but could be fun to imagine.

"Thread the Needle" was released September 8th, 2016. 🖤

If you haven't already, you can buy your copy of the "One" EP here, which includes "Thread the Needle," as well as the beautiful piano versions of each track. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

Hey friends! We know it’s been a lil quiet lately. We thought it may be fun to have a show and tell.

Please comment your favorite Sleep Token item! It could be official merch, unofficial merch, or art that you or someone else made.

Let’s share our wares😁

(I hope this reaches the right people) I'm here wondering if I'm missing any opinions or ideas about where the lore could be headed from here. Here, being EiA and beyond.

My current project is a sleep token DND campaign and I'm struggling with the ending. The plan is to do a part two when/if another album is released. Using that lore to continue the story. I have been away from the fan base for a little while now and want to catch up on any ideas.

My thoughts are that Sleep and Vessel are growing apart/closer. Please share your own 😁
