Sleep Token Alkaline Lyrics
Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything
She's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire

The bassist seems like a goofball! Cool that they can do the anonymous thing and still have personality
I really like these guys’ schtick - it’s not corny and it fits/amplifies the overall feel of the music and, most importantly, it works on a bright sunny day. Usually sunlight is kryptonite for “dark” bands like these, but this is killer!
@virg_lew03
Жыл бұрын
Because honestly their “shtick” is more than just costumes and dark imagery. The more you dig into the band, the more you realize just how deeply righteous the entire concept is. I mean really think about it. They’ve completely stripped away their humanity in service to their higher power, and the music itself combined with the overall aesthetic of the band truly gives you that experience. These guys could play at the ass crack of dawn and it wouldn’t matter. The music and concept is just so damn good.

10/10 would recommend them live, it was an experience that I will never forget. The videos I see of them live do them no justice because they really are incredible.
I'm probably too old to get all over excited about these guys, but I'm definitely sold on their creativity, utilising a combination of genres, changing signatures with precise execution and the ethereal soundscape that envelops their compositions. I can't help but feel I've heard it all before in stages, though fair props to them. It's bold, probably a little niche, but certainly some worthy ear candy for a change.

I think you make a very good point. For me though, I’d go one step further: The mystic surrounding the identities of the musicians really created a very special feeling and I think that was so cool and attracts me to them, but I kind of wish some of their music wasn’t so ‘Nu-metal-ish’ (I can’t find another word to describe it), I can imagine though that their live experience is so fucking awesome. Although I know that in the meantime, the identities have more or less been revealed 🤷♂️

Basically (according to) the lead singer he is a mouthpiece / avatar for an ancient Deity called "sleep" hence him going by the moniker "vessel" and he is spreading the messages of Sleep through their music, this is also why they're all anonymous because they want the focus to remain on the message / songs for Sleep and not on them as individuals, so while it does look weird I think the idea is he's worshipping Sleep and channelling his energy through him hence the jerky and ethereal movements
