    This is the song that I cant stop listening to. It's been in my head for a week. I know I have to look like a crazy person singing along to this album in my car for the last week. I was never a Sleep Token fan but this album has got its hooks in me.

    You are the Light that shines in the darkness... You are always Free to Sing, my Love... Always. (Not just when you're in your car... although I bet that's absolutely adorable to behold...) I sing at work often, whatever song I'm feeling at the time, and sometimes, people look at me funny, as if I'm crazy or something, and you know what...? I do not care. That is what Freedom looks like. I am the Universe itself, and so can you. I am the Light that shines in the darkness, and sometimes this Light likes to sing. The rest of the world is just going to have to deal with that as best it can. I am the Truth, and I cannot be defeated by the opinions of human beings.

    What I love about the heavy drop in this one is that, although heavy, it suddenly shifts to a major chord. We all kinda expected it to get heavy, but not like that.

    I actually just went through a break up of a year relationship and this song perfectly describes how I felt at the end of the relationship. I ended up relapsing on alcohol and causing a lot of damage to my ex, but over our relationship I was constantly made to feel like I had to prove myself. This song just describes when two people just aren’t good for each other. The lyric “you won’t get to watch me ascend” in the screaming section is how I feel after I’ve been set free of this burden in my life. So thank you sleep token❤

    All of Sleep Token's albums are *about* being in (Sundowning), ending (This Place Will Become Your Tomb), and mourning/dealing with the aftermath of/healing from (Take Me Back to Eden) a relationship with a manipulative, abusive ex. So, you know, that checks out.

    I've been so enamored with the new album. One of the smoothest albums I've ever listened to, and between "Tomb" and "Eden," I'm starting to learn that Sleep Token's music seems to make more sense when listened to in that way- in a full album context. Not sure why that is though; maybe it's a narrative way that they write lyrically? Anyway, this song being a sort of halfway point makes it that much more of a highlight. The elegance, and the PRECISION, of the piano parts through this track, is sheer perfection. Kind of like the rest of this album.

    The intro is immensley clever. Someone please tell me they also noticed the use of the piano accompaniment and story telling on each verb in the intro. Listen to how the first verbs are used and then the following ones to highlight the emotional state of the verb. 'Reflection' high pitch progression to indicate change for the better. 'Deception' a sudden drop to a bitter reality. 'Free' A single stoke, free of the burdens from before. This is repeated in the next line but the emphasis on 'take' shapes the next two. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE OR AM I JUST AUTISTIC?!

    Ok, I have a theory on this one: "Diamonds in the Trees" = Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) "Pentagrams in the Night Sky" = 5-HT1A and 5-HT2 receptors "You make me wish I could disappear" = psychedelic drug induced "ego death". Along with many other references throughout the song that could be psychedelic related (even the title). So in this song he recalls the time he did DMT with the girl that all their songs are about (the one that dumped him...ultimately that's what all 3 album are about) and it messed her up (even worse than she already was, and she was already a mess) so that's why in the next song she exhibits self harming behavior.

    A big hug for you my friend Taylor!!!....No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"... In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, KZread and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in KZread to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...kzread.info/dash/bejne/lHiMlaihndy0kcY.html
