these are connected somehow, aren't they?

i just can't explain how.

[bluesey-182]

im "atlantic" do you think the lyrics are "anything to get me to sleep" or "anything to get me to Sleep"

[moonchildeath]

is sleep, the god. and i believe that because:

atlantic is the first song of the second album, second part of the trilogy if you will, a new part of the story. the song begins with a sense of a reality ("call me when they bury bodies underwater, it's blue light over murder for me") which symbolizes death (blue light in the uk means when an emergency vehicle equipment is used to indicate urgent journeys). then, we get the line "anything to get me to sleep" and there's a shift in this pre established reality ("i woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets") which symbolizes, in the contrary to before, life. waking up. not only as in i get out of bed, but as an emotional wake up maybe. going to sleeping being one person, waking up being different.

i personally believe that this place will become your tomb is vessel giving in to sleep, becoming part of it/they. so it makes sense that the first song of the album shows vessel getting in contact with sleep.

in the other hand i do understand why it could be sleeping as in the verb because at the end of the day the songs are plagued with sleeping methaphors. so obviously both of them are valid.

but yes. it's sleep, the god.

here's a stupid sleep token meme i made 😌

[i-suggest-cdrw]

I was tagged by @foxgloveinspace

Last song - euclid by sleep token

Currently watching - um. mostly youtube tbh. i watched like half of this movie called the menu the other day, but all that did was reaffirm that i don't like horror movies lol. it was pretty cool but definitely not for me.

Currently reading - the way of kings by brandon sanderson, i've read it before, but that was a while ago and my memory is terrible so i'm reading it again. its really good, but damn i forgot how depressing the beginning of this book is, kaladin really Goes Through It.

Current obsession - sleep token, transformers, and sheith rn. sleep token is my latest obsession, transformers is permanently part of my brain, and lately i've been reading a bunch of sheith fics because i looove watching those idiots pine over each other for thousands of words.

I’ll tag @shiny-lunatone @blue-lollipops-and-ice-clouds @vampyrolesbos @gay-ri0t @moonchildeath any anyone else that wants to do it

[moonchildeath]

thank you for tagging me!

last song: castles crumbling, taylor swift ft hailey williams. but while i was writing this it changed to the night does not belong to god, sleep token.

currently watching: hannibal! also rewatching sherlock the serie some days cause god do i love my comfort gays sherlock and watson.

currently reading: nothing, just silly headcanons or small fics. my last big read was the fic "undone devotion" by @blue-lollipops-and-ice-clouds (amazing, btw).

current obsession: sleep token, obviously. been going strong since march and i don't think it'll stop soon. i am also very invested in greek mythology, like i was all my life.

i'll tag whoever sees this and wants to participate!

It’s not platonic, it’s not romantic, it’s a secret third thing (I don’t know what they have but I want it)

[moonchildeath]

ah yes, the worshiper and the worshipped.

"i will be so vulnerable, raw and heartbroken in my lyrics that everyone will be devastated like me. my tits, however, will be as out as my feelings are."

( source )

[moonchildeath]

"we tangle endlessly like lovers entwined" makes me so sad. he sees them as lovers, he wants them to be; but they aren't: "i know for the last time, you will not be mine" is there anything sadder than that?
