Do you know what the beauty of Sleep Token lyrics analyses are? Literally any interpretation you have is correct because that’s the point. I love seeing how people break down Vessel’s phrases and metaphors in their own way because it’s all correct. There’s no right or wrong way to receive emotions and mental connections from Vessel’s lyrics. If Take Me Back to Eden is about your favorite video game character/love interest that is correct. If Atlantic is about being bored with life and feeling stuck/frozen that is correct. If Blood Sport is about your relationship with your abusive mother that is correct.
That’s why he and the band have chosen to remain anonymous, we’ve had interviews explaining this. Vessel is a genius in that way. See these two excerpts from this interview that I transcribed:
There exists a considerable body of art that explores the deeper recesses of the human mind. Sleep Token serve as a means to explore this on an individual basis.
Art has become entangled with identity. The aim is to provide something people can engage with without being obstructed by the identity of its creator.
Sleep Token very literally creates music that is meant to be relatable to every person who hears it. With every song and lyrics interpretation, it feels like that’s exactly how Vessel meant that one particular person to understand him, and something about that is absolutely beautiful to me.
I think I have a problem with scrawny dark-haired 19th century British-coded scientists whose aesthetics involve the color blue and the sea. I vibe with oddly specific things.
