Levitate (04:58)
Sundowning (2019) 21st November
I can lift you up / Your body is mostly blood
So this person is tiny, thin, fragile and either hurt or lost everything else from their body except for blood. (Also, my raging self-hate says that at least this person can be lifted up, while no one can lift me up)
Like water, a perfect flood / Engulfing me again, oh
The blood? That's a lot of blood. That's bad, that's really really bad, so let's focus on the ocean imagery for a little bit. Water, flood, engulfing. It is almost hinting TPWBYT.
And I can tell you won't / Remember my cracking bones
That's an ungrateful, not empathetic person IMO.
The trauma we can't regrow / Just as you leave again, no
It might be foolish, but I think there is some wordplay with regrowth and trauma. I'm missing something from that line, and it is either purposefully not there to twist the meaning, or simply this is just how the syllables fit. I would expect regrowing after a traumatic experience. Here it seems that they are trying to regrow the trauma, but they can't which might mean that this was the last one they experienced together because one of them is leaving (again) and the other one has broken bones.
And we imitate / A story of perfect days / A ballad we fabricate / As you forget your words again, oh
Is fake happiness better than real sadness? Is it better to act like you are living the perfect life knowing that the mask and costumes are not hiding the truth anymore?
And is that all you need / To merely pretend to be / Falling in love with me? / Forgetting the agony again, oh
Oh, these questions are like tiny but sharp and cold knives that the person who is asking pulled out of their own heart and now they are trying to hurt the other one with them, but they know they won't be able to hurt them as much as they have been hurt themselves.
Will you levitate / Up where my love doesn't matter?
First, I wanted to fight these lines so hard. Like shouldn't be any place where anyone's love doesn't matter. But I know very well, that these places exist and it hurts so bad.
Soundwise
Saved by the drums - that's how I'll call these heavier endings brought to you by the tiny king of the drums, II. But here it is more like an emergency kit, a patch to a pretty severe wound, just enough to survive.
Otherwise, the heart-wrenchingly sad piano and the whole sound just make me feel like I am underwater, there are sonars in the background, and everything is a little muffled.

The Offering (05:50)
Sundowning (2019) 21st November
Not gonna lie, spending a day with Hey Ya, TWTYW and then TNDNBTG was not easy. I cannot really put it into words, it's just weighs me down and it's s fatiguing mentally. I can't imagine what they are going through emotionally every night they perform, especially Vessel. AND I'M AT THE SECOND SONG OF THE FIRST ALBUM FFS.
And you are a garden, entwined with all / You are the silence on sacred shores
Garden? Of Eden? Shores? Of Atlatinc? 👀👀👀
No, but how lovely these compliments are. Being called a garden, that is connected to everything, blossoming flowers, fruits, birds, other animals, who knows? And that sacred moment when you can hear silence. Modern people get less and less of silence, which is the reason why it is more and more treasured. Have you ever noticed those totally random moments, when you are in a generally crowded area, intersection, shopping mall, or anything and randomly everything goes totally silent in unison? It feels like magic, every time.
You've got diamonds for teeth, my love / So take a bite of me, just once, I want to
Diamonds are associated with many things. Rare, beautiful, hard and expensive, it almost makes the bite sound intriguing? Bite marks made with diamonds? Sign me up.
Turn the page once again, oh
Forget the past, start something new, move on, and leave everything behind. I think this is the transaction between Sleep and Vessel here. Sleep takes a bite and helps Vessel to move forward.
My arms belong around you
Without the melody and Vessel's voice, this would sound 100% creepy to me, but he has this special skill to make cringy lines sound amazing. This line is giving me the best chills every time I hear it OR think about it without fail. It's like a fucking magic spell, really. The way vocals harmonize with the instruments. It's just perfect and so beautiful.
So take a bite, I want to know
I think this could be a reference to the Garden of Eden and to the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, but with Sleep and Vessel the story is a little bit twisted because Sleep takes a bite and that makes Vessel know things.
Soundwise
I cannot not see Fairy Princess III clapping and asking the crowd to clap when this song begins. And that image alone gives me all the good brain chemicals, it's like a deep breath of fresh air that calms your nerves instantly.
For me, the first note is similar to the one of LWYMMD by Taylor Swift as that one note makes me start the song in my head even when I only hear that first note and nothing else in reality or if something sounds like that note. Like a squeaking door. Talk about that bell and salvation, Ivan.
I'm so grateful for the breakdown and the heavier ending on this one, especially after the previous 3 songs, it kind of helps to process them and it also feels like the music grows a thicker skin (on the narrator?), some sort of protection after being so vulnerable - I hope it makes some sense.
#this is needed so i dont just have “vessel has oral fixation” in my head#the biting with diamond teeth are so fun#and indeed the line my arms belong around you gives me chills#also i like how you kept sleeps and vessels relationship in this too#sleep token 50 songs#sleep token

The Night Does Not Belong To God (05:03)
Sundowning (2019) 21st November
Oh, shit. Here we go. It’s Sundowning time. It’s almost impossible to tell you if I get super emotional because this is where the full circle starts and ends - yes, I’m looking at you Euclid - or TNDNBTG would make me cry on its own.
I think only this fandom and maybe Amy Adams in Arrival can understand what I’m trying to say about the full circle. If there is any good description of this feeling of seeing the beginning and the end at the same time, please let me know, it would be so good to be able to name this thing.
When you live / By daylight / With angels / At your side / In order now / Bestowed by / The light of / The sunrise
Somehow this entire section is so comforting. Everything is all right. Angels, order, light.
And you remember everything / Only 'til the sun recedes once again
Hah! Among many others, this is a rewarding point in this journey, because this idea of everything resetting appears in the first song on One edit: I’m so stupid, that’s not the first song, sorry.
Sometimes when we touch / Everything we love resets
the first song on Two
I'm whole again for just a moment / 'Til the morning comes
and now in the first song on Sundowning. "You" in TNDNBTG forgets everything at sunset. The "Me" in Calcutta is whole until the morning comes. Day and night, darkness and light, Sun and Moon, they cannot ever be together.
On a more personal note, these two lines made me think of those pseudo, noncommittal relationships where I had to build up everything from scratch each time we met but the next day we were back to ground zero no matter how much I gave.
And the night comes down like heaven
You know what also comes down? Rain.
The whites of your eyes / Turn black in the lowlight
I'm having a hard time with this one but I think the whites of their eyes turning black would mean some sort of transformation from human, or the one surrounded by angels to something different. The black sclera is associated with all sorts of creatures, so I'm not sure which one we are referring to, but I'm pretty sure about the transformation. Some black is introduced to that all-white, bright being.
In turning divine / We tangle endlessly
I mean the transformation can be turning into a deity, that works, sure. I love the tension brought by the word tangle, as it makes me think of confusion or being trapped. But at some point, we will arrive at the notion of quantum entanglement which is just as interesting and might be considered here as well. I'll just put the shortest definition that I could find here, but, please if you have a friendly neighbourhood science nerd in your proximity, have them explain this, it is such a magical thing.
"The phenomenon whereby a pair of particles are generated in such a way that the individual quantum states of each are indefinite until measured, and the act of measuring one determines the result of measuring the other, even when at a distance from each other."
I know for the last time / You will not be mine / So give me the night, the night, the night
I can only think of the day-night, sun-moon, darkness-light oppositeness and the noncommittal relationships. By the way how heavy of a weight it is to know that something is not possible, but also how much of a relief it is at the same time?
