Calcutta by Sleep Token - An Enigmatic Journey to the Past?
Музыка
Metal scholars, welcome to Season 2 of our journey into the literary studies of the themes surrounding the mysterious band Sleep Token. Season One was devoted to the birth of Vessel and its interaction with Sleep. And the TWO EP will continue to delve into that but now in a more mature, more poetic, but at the same time it’s also broader in range. The EP cover gives us hints about the metaphors and analogies but now deeper into the realm of sleep, subconscious, echoes from stories and myths of the past... please let me know what you think, please like and subscribe! Cheers!

I am caught, tangled in
Wrapped and quartered tripping up and over
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
I sweat and I ache for
Your eyes and the way you breathe
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
You are more than warm belief
Melting skywards more than silence broken
I'm whole again for just a moment
'Til the morning comes
And I wake, saying your name
And I wake, saying your name
Oh, she said you'd better believe it
I said you don't know
Oh, you said you'd better believe it
I said you don't even know
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
Time lived again for just a moment
Missing pieces find me
And I'm whole again, whole again, whole again

Vessel is an amazing storyteller. I hope he never stops making music because he has such a gift and I am still, even after hearing these songs probably hundreds of times, in awe of him.

I agree, Jessica, I feel the same way! it's cinematic, poetic and you always find something else, you can always establish new connections, it's therapeutic in a way
The insight you give on the symbolism and meaning behind these songs is absolutely incredible. Thank you

Leah, thank YOU for taking the time to watch it and again I'm just glad we're celebrating great music and art!
I’m from Kolkata (Calcutta) & a big fan sleep token, thanks for breaking it down dude, you are doing an amazing job, I really wanted to know why they named the song Calcutta, thnks to you that now i’ve got my answers keep it up
Hello Alex, thanks for this latest incredible instalment. I must admit I've struggled to interpret the meaning of this song, starting from the title. Your insights are great, for example "labyrinth bed" meaning the conscious (or in this case unconscious) mind. I love how every little detail of each Sleep Token song has been considered and plays a meaningful part in the story. It's like the greatest jigsaw ever. Thank you for sharing this with us. I am really curious to see your interpretation of 'Nazareth'. I will be watching Sleep Token play live on the day you plan to publish it. I can't wait! W O R S H I P

Hey Dale, thanks again! The Two EP is much more cryptic, enigmatic... but I think we can hear echoes from the past and notice that these stories are all amalgamated, it's the gift of dreams and nightmares, like Vessel said. I hope you like my take on Nazareth, it is much more unsettling and I had to take 2 or 3 routes to embark on more concrete story lines, it'll be out tomorrow. Let's keep in touch! W O R S H I P
Ahhh… I got excited when you mentioned Hades & Persephone bc that’d been in my thoughts, also.

Their story is great! I like to dig into Demeter, Persephone, Hades, Charon... :)
Kali also means Time and the word Calender derives from Kalandar. Kali is also the goddess of periods ,seasons cycles and time.

I literally was NEEDINg to know if anyone else had noticed the similarities of the EP artwork to angkor wat !!!
I love this song so much one of my faves period. So beautiful and relatable especially if you've been in love with someone and had them briefly but can't be with them.

@@lauraanon23 yes exactly. I've been with the one I love and feel like is who I'm supposed to be with but the timing has always been off at least in this life. Maybe it will happen in the next life.

I'm with my soulmate every day because he's my best friend but sadly he belongs to another. So the next lifetime is all I have! And Sleep Token lyrics. 🤣

Thank you Laura and Tracy for sharing your stories. I also agree that this aspect of being able to relate to the narratives is what makes the lyrics stand out so much. :) All the best to you!
Another amazing video Alex, I don't know if there is anyone more qualified to give us this in depth analysis other than the band themselves.
Can't wait for Nazareth. I love the LORE!!!
