Exactly -- there is no issue with thinking of others before yourself (love those the way you wish to be loved credo). However, when people have made you a martyr and treated you as such, the inner injuries take on deep deep roots. And the more someone's character allows emotional martyrdom, the deeper the scars become; and healing might occur, if possible. I can say that ST has unearthed so many inner hurts, and has made me drop to my knees. I stood up to stomp those hurts away (because no one taught me how) Because of ST, I feel like I can fly. But the terror of my cleansing needed a soundtrack and a sense of HOPE Thank you Sleep Token.

I believe he's talking about self-harm in the 'new scars that I didn't ask for...tear my arms off' section. He's thinking about whether she would call him up asking why he's done it if she found out, and whether she would be angry, concerned, or a bit of both. As a theme, it shows up again later (that's all I'll say so as not to spoil anything).

Gonna offer an alternative perspective bc why not lol If you've ever noticed the outside of Vessel's left arm has two very noticeable, parallel scars partway up his forearm. They're consistent with a compound fracture of his ulna. I think he compound fractured the crap out of his arm in the accident.

I’m a recovering alcoholic, 3 years sober now. That chorus hits me hard, because that’s the exact way I felt every single time I broke sobriety in the beginning. I would miss the man I was the moment we lifted off and the booze would hit my bloodstream and I knew I had again betrayed myself again. The next morning I would be ashamed of myself and I hated who I had become…. A person I myself, could not trust, bending and breaking a commitment to myself for just a few moments of pleasure that were never as great as what I would hope for. This song still gets to me when that chorus hits.

Yeah, Unc, i been in a couple relationships that there were alarm bells but i was determined i could fix what was wrong. Boy, I'm hardheaded cuz damn if i didn't get out if one into another. After fool #2, I took some time for myself (and my daughter who was Two) and just worked and took care of my daughter. I ended up working two years straight with two jobs, only giving me 4 days a month off. And i spent all my time with my daughter when I wasn't working. Thank God I had my parents there to take care of my daughter when I worked. Being a single Mom wasn't any fun. But i had had enough of Men and getting done shitty. So, when my lucky #3 forever man showed up, i was taken aback. I was leary of being hurt again, but he was nothing like the first two narcissists were. He has always been keen on my happiness and I can't believe we've been together 12 years now😅. Time flies when you're having fun 😂. And so do anniversaries 😂. Anywho..... sorry you've been down that road Unc but the beauty of Vessel's writing is you can project your own feelings onto his music and he finds a way to "speak" to you.

Love ya’lls sleep token reactions but I may have taken you the wrong way and I’m not being critical, more opening conversation, but I completely disagree with your beta male comments, if anything I think it’s the complete opposite, because of the way todays society suggests the way “men” should be I feel like it takes a bigger man to hone into their feelings and express vulnerability regardless of whatever anyone else’s opinions would be of that, not giving a fuck essentially. I honestly feel like the whole “grrrr im alpha, me man, i tough” mentality is cringy and pathetic, men’s suicide rate is through the roof and i think this is one of the biggest causes. If you’re an alpha, you shouldn’t need to go out of your way to prove it, you just need to show you’re a decent, caring, thoughtful person. Curious to know your thoughts though, like I said, totally not trying to come across in a negative way but this is something I feel really strongly about and think is totally backward in society.

@iNessi I completely agree with you on all those fronts... I really could care less about the labels. I really care more about extracting the life lessons from the lyrics. And I really hope you're not the type to comment before watching the entire vid bc you'd see me show my emotions and express my deep feelings for understanding the "beta male" viewpoint as I considered myself one for 90% of my life. I watched my dad also bend and break to be loved and feel close to someone, I watched my mom do the same and almost never come home bc she found the attention elsewhere. And my parents were never together so also not seeing what a proper or inproper relationship even looks like. So yes my lack of confidence in myself, environement, and my thinking led me to feel powerless. And if I back off from this perspective then I negate part of my purpose for creating this channel and also breaking these lyrics down by ST. Because he is very very clearly trying to teach us to use our own minds and find the happiness in ourselves and not in another person or thing. I used like 2 other terms that mean the exact same thing, but bc society has weaponized it we are getting punished for using it to uplift and help men and women rise up to their power under control, or emotional intelligence. Hope that wasnt too long and makes sense. I really appreciate the discussion!!!

Another comment mentioned your term as "beta male" and I gotta agree it was hard to listen to that. You guys gotta be better than that. Don't be toxic. I get interpretation but that's going a bit far and then harping on it. It's not ok. Will unsubscribe as clearly your audience isn't me with that sort of rhetoric. Good luck and be better but also goodbye.
