"This bough has broken through, I must be someone new..."

[sleep-token-confessions]

I know this is an unpopular opinion but i don’t think euclid is a sad song? I see people all the time talking about how it’s the most gut wrenching st song but to me it’s not sad at all.

I love euclid but there’s much sadder songs in their discography

For the EU/UK leg of the Teeth of God Tour we are doing green for Euclid. We need a LOT more volunteers as some of these venues are much bigger! DM me to join our discord or click the link here!

The whites of your eyes

Turn black in the low light

In turning divine

And we tangle endlessly

Like lovers entwined

I know for the last time

You will not be mine

So give me the night, the night, the night

setup of today. return of the struggler

Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry,

A parallel I would lay my life on.

THE NIGHT BELONGS TO YOU

Euclid my beloved, i just can't stop editing when i am listening to them, inspiration finds me everywhere.

Frothing at the mouth thinking about euclid

will post more about it in the morning but it’s the perfect song not only to end TMBTE with but also to kind of encapsulate their music so far

there’s references throughout going as far back as to One and also it calls back clearly to TNDNBTG and also to blood sport as a parallel and it takes those songs and changes them into a message of moving on and accepting the past

maybe the senioritis is hitting too but it’s so good and it’s the most healing song and augh

also ‘if your wings won’t find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone’ is the sweetest lyric

Euclid is painful for so many reasons but they way they reference most of their previous albums [Directly and Indirectly] fucking kills me.

Sleep Token - Euclid

[channelsoph]

do you think TMBTE is the last album Sleep Token will release? i sorta kinda think it is because Euclid ends the same way The Night Belongs To You starts. and also this album has A LOT of “closure” moments i.e. also in Euclid there is the line that goes “This bough has broken through / I must be someone new” which i think refers to When the Bough Breaks (a song from their first album literally named “One”) and drives it to a logical finale. and the second part of that line (“I must be someone new”) i think refers to Vessel saying that Sleep needs to find another one.

there generally are a lot of these “coming to an end” or “healing” (if we speak of their lyrics as a story of the relationship between Sleep and Vessel) themes in the lyrics of tmbte. compared to the sundowning or tpwbyt anyway. like Granite for example is a lot like the “healing” part. it’s about recognizing the toxic patterns and choosing not to entertain them anymore (or at least just recognizing, because it is so very important). Are You Really Okay? falls in that same area for me also.

also there is a theme of return lingering throughout. Take Me Back To Eden - it’s literally in the name. Euclid’s “Just run it back, give me five whole minutes” asks of us to return.

i also think in Take Me Back To Eden the line “And I don’t know what’s got its teeth in me but I’m about to bite back in anger” can be interpreted as a “healing” of sorts or at least a step on a path to it. it sounds like the narrator is in pain but this is all part of the process. as a person in therapy i relate to this a lot and i also get that healing can be angsty and angry and painful.

also i find a lot more parallels lyrically as well as musically with their other works than in any other album. like sundowning and tpwbyt do not really interact this intensely with each other or with their previous music. in tmbte i can find a musical or a lyrical “quote”/rework/reference to their previous songs much more often. i’m also obviously not a music journalist or theorist, i just have thoughts sometimes :)

sleep token found family real. aaaaand post.

[sleep-token-confessions]

Sometimes (ever since the live debut tbh) I have to skip Euclid because I will cry like a little bitch. Same with Blood Sport (ever since Wembley) I skip, or at least just his sobbing at the end. I can't take it. Makes me cry so bad dude.

Euclid by Sleep Token is fucking RUNNING through my head mercilessly and all I want to do is scream the lyrics in my silent office:

Do you remember me

when the rain gathers? ✨

And do you still believe

That nothing else matters?
