Want to know something weird?!

In my perception our boy never wrote a real love song. By real love song I mean something like someone just saying how much they love someone.

There is always a “but” in his songs.

In “Sugar” he sings “addicted to the pain”. In “Alkaline” he sings “caught between”. I could turn this into a whole list.

From my own experience I'm someone who always experienced love as something very conditional and also very painful. I can fully relate to the type of love that he sings about. I guess it's just my distorted BPD view that I have on the world. I wonder what it was for him.

And also someone please tell me that I'm wrong!

TW, I guess

You don't have to answer this if you don't want to.

Do you think Vessel is talking about his suicide attempts in some of his songs, or is it just a metaphor, or is he talking about someone else?

I mean, we all saw his arm...

Of course I can answer this.

It's the lyrics that give it away but I will be more specific. That's why this probably won't show up in the main tag but I hop you still see the answer.

“bandage up” “buckling sutures” “dead fingers lying blue against the floor” “bleed through” “dripping crimson”

(...)

all of this paints a picture

more under the cut

TW: suspected suicide attempt....and also I got a bit graphic with words in this......

(btw....when someone does self-harm it does not mean that they are suicidal as well...if you want to know more about that topic I wrote something about it)

First of all: all of this is my assumption / interpretation. Nothing is 100% certain unless Vessel says it is. It's all just based on my gut-feeling.

Based on the lyrics I always assumed that he did try to commit suicide. Especially Atlantic is kind of obvious which is why most fans, not all but still most, agree that it's about that topic.

I always assumed that, too. But I was never sure how he did it.

I'm able to spot scars really well even when he has paint on him and I've always noticed one on the inner-side of his left forearm. Idk what the right word is.....radial artery? That artery that starts at your wrist and runs down your arm until the elbow. I could always see something shimmer through but I was not sure.

I was not sure until I saw one pic from last year Wembley. If you want to you can look at it (leads to an IG account....in the last pic you see III and Vessel standing there after the show was done). Idk if you can see it...or see what I can. But ever since I saw that pic I'm certain that this is what happened. That he cut this artery open. Sry....to be so graphic. And also when I saw that pic last year it broke my heart. I'm just so glad that he is still with us. It really feels like a miracle.

The thing is....that by now I had so many peeps ask me these questions and I answered them in this very blunt and direct way so why not write it down like that. Maybe it's too much. My “radar” for certain topics is quite off sometimes because of my own mental health issues. I'm used to so much bs that shocks other people. I hope it's fine that I wrote it down like that. I don't want to upset anyone. If you want more pics...I sure have them but I won't post them...you can send me a message.

To anyone who read that: keep one thing in mind....I can't be 100% sure unless Vessel tells me. There is always a tiny chance of me being wrong.

My brother and I were driving in the car yesterday. He said something about church or whatever...don't really remember. Anyway so I quoted Vore:

“Will we remain stuck in the throat of Gods? will the pain stop if we go deeper?”

He was like: WHAT?! Vessel really sings “the throat of Gods?”

So I said: Yes, he does.

My brother just said: “That guy needs therapy!”

My response was: “But the pain does stop when you deeper! Deeper into the present moment. Deeper into presence, connection and stillness.”

Then that conversation was over because he does not understand all of that “spiritual stuff”

Many “need” therapy. Or it would be helpful for them but they either don't know it, can't allow it (me...?! help?!...never) or can't afford it.

I was in therapy but it did not really help but at least I tried. That's just my experience. And also I feel like writing music is Vessel's “therapy”. Of course I don't know that.

And also discussing Sleep Token lyrics with my brother is a little useless. He likes the music but he only likes the music. That's fine. Not everyone obsesses over the lyrics the way that I do.
