Ok ok, you said Uzui is the only hashira who hasn’t lost it during a pedicure right??? In one of the asks you answered I think privately.
…
I think he would lose it during one of those fish pedicure thingies. He just seems like the kind of person that if he’s a little tipsy he wouldn’t be able to hold back, yk???? Anyway, there was my rant 🫡
*slaps both hands onto table ala Phoenix Wright* YESH! Oh my god I love that??? Tengen is completely fine during normal pedicures and mostly sober; I think it's all the running- gives him enough callouses to numb the tickles kjaerjkaejkrjek
But fish??? FISH??? God help him- he's done for kjlarjkeakrjejk
I like to think it's when he goes to the spa with his wives; they've got the new fish thing happening and Suma's all: "Let's try it!" and Tengen's thinking to himself "Oh this would be cute, seeing my wives' reaction!" So he agrees despite Makio and Hinatsuru's uncertainty. He reassures them it'd be fine and all that good stuff so they head in- get some drinks, dressed in robes yada yada yada.
Tengen lasted about 0.002 seconds before immediately breaking down into giggles. He was not PREPARED! His plan? Backfired- whether they were feeling as ticklish as he was he couldn't tell, he was too busy fighting for his life as the little buggers did their thing akjrkjeajkrejkjk He's got a booming laugh but not loud enough to scare off the fishes! It takes everything in him not to pull his feet out and run akjrkjaerkjaejkjke
By the end of it, Suma's giddy, Makio's mildy embarrassed but mostly giggly and Hinatsuru's gently chiding him about trying to show off, but Tengen feels pretty great all around cause his wives are happy- and that makes all the ticklishness worth it.

naw it‘s cool i am justvery silly rn
Pfft, I gotcha 👌
For future reference (if it's needed at all, idk), I'm an English speaker. I know a few individual words in German, French, Spanish, and Japanese, but in no way shape or form am I fluent in any of it
I took a French class for 4 years, and I had to stop because it got too advanced for me. My brain didn't have enough wrinkles to store all that information, I guess 🤷♀️

EUCLID ANALYSIS.
Part one -> Title and meaning
Part two -> Line by line analysis part one
Part three -> Line by line analysis part two
Part four -> Musical/instrumental notes
Part five -> The Night in Sleep Token
Part six -> You're already here!
So, after all this, we have to come to some sort of conclusion about our points. One main and obvious conclusion can be made about exactly what Euclid is about; change. Overall, Euclid holds a constant theme of change and acceptance, both pushed through callbacks to previous songs and through general lyricism.
As stated in the post previous to this one, TMBTE, as an album, is about the turmoil of accepting change, therefore making Euclid the cap of acceptance of the passing of time, that Vessel needs to change and has changed and that’s okay.
However, we still have a few theories to talk about.
Euclid can be perceived as being a form of symmetry; a parallel that Vessel lays his life on because it brings all of the produced albums, all of his stories, together. It is symmetric because it reflects Vessel’s past, rotates what once was into something new, translates Vessel’s pain and what Sleep has to say into something manageable and combines past songs to create something that isn’t as different as we believe it to be from said songs.
Even so, Euclid could also be Vessel, which I don’t feel the need to explain since I’ve already linked the post the idea comes from, but I’ll do it again here.
Furthermore, Euclid could also be the replacement for Vessel in the future. As I stated in the first of these series of posts, the album art literally depicts a copy of Vessel, the same but different, holding the severed head of his era two’s mask. Euclid is about change, so, who’s to say the change isn’t Sleep having a new mouthpiece?
All in all, Euclid is about the past, present and probably, the future, which is most likely why I’ve been drawn to it so much. I talk about myself much more on this blog than I do in real life, so, it’s probably known to my followers that my greatest fear is the passage of time and change, which is why I’ve been so interested in this song. It depicts the thing that I have been afraid of for most of my life as ethereal and good. Inevitable, but comforting.
I think that would be the best sum up for the topic of this song; inevitable, but comforting.
So, you may now be asking ‘Mel, what do you think Euclid is about? You’ve talked about these different theories, not given much reason why you think so but still, and what Euclid could be, so what do you think?’
With full honesty? I am completely unsure. I have listened to this song over and over again since when it came out in May, 8 full months, had it consume my waking and dreaming thoughts, sat down and wrote all this and I still don’t fully know. Euclid is, in my perception of it, all of these things. Euclid could be Vessel’s past name or the vessel that will replace him. Euclid could be symmetry itself! Euclid could be all three of these things and more that I haven’t been able to decipher.
However, what I can say, is that Euclid is most definitely a eulogy, a reprise and a thank you. I view it as a love letter of sorts to all of Sleep Token’s past music (the albums One and Two included). In @todaysemotionalsupportsong own words: it’s an open door, a new beginning. It feels like sunshine streaming through trees finally blooming and like everything will be okay.
The reason why I believe Euclid to be a thank you to us as a collective, other than what I have already said, is because of the general nature of Sleep Token. Vessel, in all his anonymity, can sing his tunes to the void and you, who are there in the gloom visiting the past or sat there believing you are alone, mistake the words for your own and mould them to your own experiences. That is the gift Vessel is giving us, that is why Euclid is a thank you.
I apologise if this is not the conclusion any of you reading came here for, because I physically cannot give you enough solid evidence to confirm nor deny any of these theories. When I write literature essays, I always have something to go on; context clues from the author’s life or something confirmed by someone far past my era to base my ideas on, but with this? I have my thoughts and the people on my Tumblr dash. I have no way to source potential context to support my statements because I don’t have a clue who Vessel is and, in the nicest way possible, I don’t care to know either. Outside of lore speculations, I can’t give you much other than stating and analysing the obvious, which is the whole point of Sleep Token. They are here to deliver a message, be mouthpieces for suffering and joy, nothing more, as derogatory as that sounds.
Despite this, I hope whoever has read through eight months of the inner workings of my mind trying to dissect this song has found entertainment, or perhaps clarity through it. Thank you, reader, for even sitting down and reading these posts.
Worship.
