Vessel from sleep token will never know he made me realize I’m a man. He’ll never know he transed my gender by being emotionally vulnerable and pathetic on stage as this crazy concept of a man with no identity he could hold onto and I identified with it so hard that I’m a literal guy now.

Like I can’t tell if I should punch him in the throat with my mind for being the bump that cracked this egg or be grateful but there’s a white guy out there in this world who will never know what he’s done. That bastard.

I can’t stop thinking about how Vessel didn’t bare his teeth for the photo op this time, there’s no vicious anger behind the photos even though he’s holding a weapon. It’s.. calm. He’s calm, certain in his posing and neutral in his expression.

It’s almost surprising, to see the character not like. In a frantic spiral or frowning intensely. It’s a fun character progression, to watch him pick up the sword not out of a desperate rage but a soft certainty.

Emergence is generally a soft song, it was the perfect song to release first. Which is funny, because on a technical level it’s still progressive metal mixed with some techno in the middle. It sets this larger tone of Vessel coming to terms with himself, with the failure of his relationship with sleep and him shedding the God’s colors to instead take on his own.

Part of me wishes for him to still harbor that rage, but I think that’s my own projection more than any lyrical or thematic analysis. I still burn up on the inside, and Vessel is demonstrating to let go and move on. To fight back not out of fear or anger, but love. And that’s a hard thing to sit with, difficult and heavy in my palms as i try to swallow the concept.

Human nature is to cling on, to remember and use the pain of the past so we don’t go through it again. To let go, and finally stop kicking that dead horse feels blasphemous. But it’s the right thing to do, and unfortunately it ALWAYS helps. Nobody knows it more than the Vessel who is earnestly telling his audience to grow.
