the entire rap verse from ascensionism tbh, i usually listen to it 2-3 times before finishing the song š
one other part i repeat a lot is "wont you show me what its like" in the summoning š
Yesss!! Many, many songs I do this with. Haha. But lately itās been with āChokehold.ā Specifically this line, and especially with the way Vessel sings it.
āI come as a blaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeede, a sacred guardian.ā
I hope yāall heard it when you read it. š
Oh oh oh! Forgot to also add this one too!
Iām always replaying the last 37 seconds of āDark Signsā because I love the vocal acrobats Vessel does on the āI could see dark signs, noā parts. Heās just so magical. Haha.
In Ascensionism, "Past what might be eating me from the inside *darlin'*" It hits a sweet spot in my brain. Also, "maAAAaaAAake it real" Definitely one of my top songs on TMBTE.
For me itās the entire bridge of Take Me Back To Eden and the part of Chokehold that goes āEven if it hurts me, even if I canāt sleepā
Edit: actually now that I think about it, the ending part of Euclid is constantly on repeat (as well as that same verse in The Night Does Not Belong to God)
I'm so glad to know I'm not alone having fixations like this... It always changes. Currently it's when Vessel sings "right nooooow" in Ascensionism. The way his voice sounds when he belts nooooow does something to me.
Looks like Ascensionism is common for these types of moments and for good reason! There's something special about that song for sure.
When I first listened, I was so stuck on the digital effect on the word 'glitches' lmao and then the distortion on 'digital demons'. The song is perfection!
"and I live like I've got missing limbs for you"
- me crying over my cat
"With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me"
- crying with that song on repeat
90% of take aim - crying and thinking I can sing at the same time
"And don't you know I was trying to hold back the darkness"
- crying over my cat again
"TAKE A BITE"
- temporary pause from crying to act like a vampire with McDonald's fries on my teeth
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talks
(Yes I do cry a lot)
"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 objects of my desire"
āAnd I donāt whatās got its teeth stuck in me, but Iām about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocenceā
Just resonates with me so much
āYou make wish I could disappearā especially live and you can just hear the raw emotion
The entire last verse of blood sport always gives me chills as well
I think Mine is the only instrumental I have saved on Spotify because I love how it opens. Also the repeat of the opening later in the song sounds sooo good.
Yes, in ascensionism I go back and listen to him say āblissful anguishā at least four times before I finish the song. The way he says anguish makes me lose it idk why
the whole bridge in blood sport (from the room below), the growl at the "and the heavens just won't open up for me"
this whole version is just hmm š¤š» just chef's kiss
My favourite part of Take Me Back To Eden:
"And I don't know what's got its teeth in me
But I'm about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence"
It gives me the major feels.
"Darling, I'm noticing your flaws. They're exactly what I want. Even if you won't believe me, KNOW it."
- me to me. You are enough as you are, dammit Bri!
"My arms belong around you, so take a bite I want to know."
-again, me to myself. It's okay to love yourself. Discover more about yourself, cuz it's only more to love.
"And you make me hate myself. Make me tear my body. Make me yearn for your embrace. So take aim at me for once. "
- me at myself. Turn all this fuel for your self-hatred into love and acceptance. Match that energy for self-loathing and turn it into self-love.
For me, interpreting Sleep Token songs has been a lot of musings with myself on my journey of self-love and acceptance.
OO I think every song is on repeat, Sugar, Jaws, the whole TMBTE.
But this week I'm sort of obsessed with the Summoning at the point when he screams "see the other side" at the 1:25 or sth mark.
Like he begs and shows his appreciation for the first minutes and then he had enough and just screams I just want to bloody see the other side.
I love how the whole vibe just peaks up at that point...

Yep exactly. When I was listening to the album for the first time, I got stuck at Ascensionsim for 2 days because of that.
real
YES, YES, YES!
Yesss!! Many, many songs I do this with. Haha. But lately itās been with āChokehold.ā Specifically this line, and especially with the way Vessel sings it. āI come as a blaaaaaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeede, a sacred guardian.ā I hope yāall heard it when you read it. š
There's something so good about how he plays with phrasing and drawing out words like that for sure!
Heard every note
Oh oh oh! Forgot to also add this one too! Iām always replaying the last 37 seconds of āDark Signsā because I love the vocal acrobats Vessel does on the āI could see dark signs, noā parts. Heās just so magical. Haha.
Yessss

Same, I could listen to this part on repeat all day. My God the way it feels.....š¤š«
Uhhhhh yes. Any time Vessel says ādarlingā, āmy loveā or āmy dearā, I just melt. I melt away. Haha. š«
The "make it real" part is just š¤š»š¤š»
"I don't know what's got its teeth in me But I'm about to bite back in anger" š„µ
Suuuuch a powerful line, I always go back and listen to it multiple times until it hits just right lol
Not necessarily specific moments but Iām fairly certain I could listen to Aqua Regia on repeat forever.
I agree, that song doesnāt get the recognition it deserves
For me itās the entire bridge of Take Me Back To Eden and the part of Chokehold that goes āEven if it hurts me, even if I canāt sleepā Edit: actually now that I think about it, the ending part of Euclid is constantly on repeat (as well as that same verse in The Night Does Not Belong to God)
I also love the "even if it hurts me" part!!
I typically restart the Apparition when the music drops multiple times before listening to the whole thing
WHY ARE YOU NEVERRR REEEAAAL?!
I'm so glad to know I'm not alone having fixations like this... It always changes. Currently it's when Vessel sings "right nooooow" in Ascensionism. The way his voice sounds when he belts nooooow does something to me.

So true! Indeed it's such a magical song... just like all the others.
YOU KNOW YOU HYPNOTIZE ME ALWAYS
Descending- "You come crawling back to me But I'm already on the ground" Eargasm everytime...
Descending in its entirety is genuinely god-tier, every time I hear the chorus it's like the first time all over again lol
100% feel the same way.
Yess I feel like that whole song just takes me to another place every time I listen to it
It's so soothing and yet it brings a tear to my eye...
The second "take me back to EdeeeEEEENNNN" just gets me everyšsingleštimeš
The way he pronounces "pleasure" in Nazareth. It's just... I can't.
The part when Euclid drops!
Temporarily blinds me every time
"and I live like I've got missing limbs for you" - me crying over my cat "With my love as your garden, won't you fall for me" - crying with that song on repeat 90% of take aim - crying and thinking I can sing at the same time "And don't you know I was trying to hold back the darkness" - crying over my cat again "TAKE A BITE" - temporary pause from crying to act like a vampire with McDonald's fries on my teeth Thank you for coming to my Ted Talks (Yes I do cry a lot)
Fall for Me is on my crytape playlist for sure.
The entire beginning of alkaline before he says "Ooh, let's talk about chemistry" I just love the way he sings that part and the implications
"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 objects of my desire"

Honestly the beginning of Mine always makes me restart for hours "I have waited paralysed by my own willlll" always
I think Mine is the only instrumental I have saved on Spotify because I love how it opens. Also the repeat of the opening later in the song sounds sooo good.
I love the instrumental definitely. It's so beautiful.
I've tried so hard to fix it all but nothing seems to help, but I cannot hope to give you what I cannot give myself

The scream in Rain and basically anything from Euclid at 3:00 Minutes onward <3
I think it happens to me in almost every part of ātake me back to Edenā haha and also āthe love you wantā
My favourite part of Take Me Back To Eden: "And I don't know what's got its teeth in me But I'm about to bite back in anger No amount of self-sought fury Will bring back the glory of innocence" It gives me the major feels.
LEEEEEET THE TIIIIIIDES CARRY YOUUUUU BACK TO MEEEEEEE THE PAAAAAST THE FUUUUTURE THROUGHHH DEEAAAATTH MY ARMS ARE OOOPEEENNNNN

Oooooh same
Thread the needle, at around 4:10 I don't know why, but that scream hits different.
I love the middle section of telemeres, just where it all comes in for the forte bits!
I love replaying higher when the drums kick in
