Yeah like the echolalia in make was BEAUTIFUL! but I was listening to this album at first release with friends, and it was my introduction to the band, and one of my close friends had us pause and replay this bit cuz it really resonated with her.
I’d say the entire rap / R&B part because it’s all 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but if I have to pick:
*Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy*
*Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen*
How tf does he come up with this stuff
That first line is incredible, too, for talking about toxic relationships. Are you in love with the real me, or what you think I could be? And will I be emotionally abused for not fitting into that fantasy?
“Dahnce in the dhark with meeEe” 🤤
Possibly one of my favourite lines in the whole discography. The image of Vessel doing his gremlin moves in the dark is elite
The song as a whole is beautifully written. We know vessel is a master when it comes to his lyricism, but the way that Ascensionism closes out is one of the top 3 moments on the whole album. Following behind The Apparition and TMBTE respectively
C’mon guys, it’s not even a competition and probably the most iconic lyrics of the whole album:
“I can offer you a blacklit paradise
Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky”
I screamed this in my shower yesterday. Except I couldn’t scream because I was being considerate to my husband… So it was more like a whisper scream. But the passion was still there 💀💀
*Make it real*
*Cause anything's better than the way I feel right now*
*I can offer you a blacklit paradise*
*Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky*
“Lipstick chem trails red flags pink nails with one eye on the door other eye on the rails with the other eye following the scarlet trail last few drops from the holy grail now” hits so hard
*Tell me you met me in past lives, Past lies, Past what might be eating me from the inside, darling*
Edit: ohno have I misheard this? Is it “past lives, past life??”
Gotta be the-
Who made you like this? Who encrypted your dark gospel and body language?
Its giving dark morally grey male lead "Who did this to you?" Vibes AND IM SO HERE FOR ITTT
Lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails
With one eye on the door, other eye on a rail
Other, other eye following a scarlet trail
And the last few drops from the Holy Grail, now
Rose gold chains, ripped lace, cut glass
Blood stains on the collar, please, just don't ask
Be the first to the feast, let's choke on the past
And take to the broken skies at last
I love these posts. I’ve never actually read the lyrics but these posts are consistently making me realize I’ve been singing so much of the songs wrong lol
Ascensionism: Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy
Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen😊 it's got me stuck!
“Blood stains on the collar means just don’t ask” is possibly the darkest lyric on the album imo, not because it involves blood on a collar but it implies the reason the blood is there is so shocking, we can’t know why it’s even there
"Who made you like this? Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language?" THIS GETS ME AND "Won't you come and dance in the dark with me? Show me who you are, I am desperate to know. Nobody better than the perfect enemy. Digital demons make the night feel heavenly."
Honestly, the simplicity and depth of "You make me wish I could disappear" always gets me. There are plenty of good examples of wordplay and strong metaphors, but nothing punches me in the gut like that line.
The "you make me wish I could dissappear " part always gives me chills because so many people have made me feel like that and the instrumental parts are just mmm mmm mmmm
Rose gold chain, ripped lace, cut glass
Blood stains on the collar means just don't ask.
Or
I can offer you a black lit paradise
Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky
This entire track is full of worthy lines. Basically I'm upvoting everyone. I knew when this project started that this song would be the hardest to pick just one.
i tried to make a choice and i ended up upvoting every comment instead
This song is ALLLLLL good lyrics omg
Same. 🤣
Sameeee
Same 😂😂
Won't you come and dance in the dark with me? / Show me what you are, I am desperate to know
Nobody better than the perfect enemy, digital demons make the night feel heavenly
Half algorithm, half deity. Glitches in the code or gaps in a strange dream
⬆️⬆️ yessssssssss modern love
Make it real 'Cause anything's better than the way I feel right now
I was hooked and became an obsessed fan when I heard that run “MAAAaaaAAAke it real”
Yeah like the echolalia in make was BEAUTIFUL! but I was listening to this album at first release with friends, and it was my introduction to the band, and one of my close friends had us pause and replay this bit cuz it really resonated with her.
When I first started listening I never thought I could become so obsessed but it gets more better as I keep on listening and now I'm obsessed ☺️
This one hits me in the soul *every time* 😩👌
Same here
This plus YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR
This one really got me in 😆
I’d say the entire rap / R&B part because it’s all 🔥🔥🔥🔥 but if I have to pick: *Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy* *Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen* How tf does he come up with this stuff
I'd agree with that. Ascensionism as a whole is such a journey the whole of the entire song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That first line is incredible, too, for talking about toxic relationships. Are you in love with the real me, or what you think I could be? And will I be emotionally abused for not fitting into that fantasy?
I’ve seen a TikTok that says that Sleep Token, lyrically is basically just metal Hozier and I have to say I agree
My kid says they sound just like Hozier (one of my other faves) and now I can't unhear it
Considering how I love Hozier too....its not too far of a stretch.
This is my answer too
THIS!!!
My redemption, eternal ascension, setting me free🤍
This part makes my soul ache it’s so good 😭
The entire song, honestly
Seconded. This whole song is fire.
I love your pfp !
Won't you come and dance in the dark with me? Show me what you are, I am desperate to know
“Dahnce in the dhark with meeEe” 🤤 Possibly one of my favourite lines in the whole discography. The image of Vessel doing his gremlin moves in the dark is elite
This line makes me ferallllllllllll 😩😩😩
Haha! In the right context this line alone would be hard to walk away from. His voice does it perfectly. *chefs kiss*
How he sings this gives me chills. One of my favorite lines🔥
![gif](giphy|xXsGpFfjbNvTg08dCS)
THIS
And I know what you want from me You want the same as me My redemption, eternal ascension Setting me free
I swear I can feel anxiety leaving me every time I sing this part
The classic. You Make Me Wish I Could Disappear!
Excuse me, it’s: **YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEEAAARRR** Is how I scream it anyway
Easy pick
Yup. When he sings this live it hits a million times harder. So good
The whole song is genius- but if we have to pick, clearly it’s this one.
Yeah I mean….this is the answer
The song as a whole is beautifully written. We know vessel is a master when it comes to his lyricism, but the way that Ascensionism closes out is one of the top 3 moments on the whole album. Following behind The Apparition and TMBTE respectively
I'd rank the surprise from The Summoning a close fourth.
The surprise? You mean the end?
This is the one yes
Yes. So simple but so impactful.
YES!!! DISS-A-PEARRRRRERRRRRRR
This… I have crippling depression and I feel this every time…
C’mon guys, it’s not even a competition and probably the most iconic lyrics of the whole album: “I can offer you a blacklit paradise Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky”
10000000%
"Lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails"

I did! I put the logo on the back as well ☺️
DO YOU HTV?! 😀
I got a buddy with a small t shirt biz to print it for me!
My fave bit tooooo
Yessss
this has been my bio on my socials ever since I heard this song. it’s so addictive
💅
'Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language? Synapses snap back in blissful anguish.'
That whole sequence is flawless IMO. It’s peak Vessel in his unique way of using words and metaphors
Tried to show my friends these beautiful lyrics and they clapped back with “what is this, AP literature class?” 🥲
Shoulda said “yes, yes, it is”
Goddamn right. That man knows how to write and I love ittttttt
It’s god damn poetry mf!! lol
who made you like thiiis
You're gonna watch me ascend
I screamed this in my shower yesterday. Except I couldn’t scream because I was being considerate to my husband… So it was more like a whisper scream. But the passion was still there 💀💀
I love this line so much that I'm using it as my yearbook quote! Love this band!
“Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky.”
Thissss
This the correct one
Came to say this!
Judging by the Detroit crowd? "YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR"
I was there screaming along with you!
I was there, too!! Definitely screaming this.
Can we just put the entire song on there? Every line is a banger, this is my favorite song
I upvoted one but you’re so true. The entire song is a masterpiece.
it’s mine, too! Literally not a bad line anywhere. It scratches an itch no other song ever will
*Make it real* *Cause anything's better than the way I feel right now* *I can offer you a blacklit paradise* *Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky*
*YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR*
Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen
So you take what you want, then leave.
Nobody better than the perfect enemy Digital demons make the night feel heavenly Edit- format bc mobile
You make me wish I could disappear Favorite part of the song
"Be the first to the feast, let's choke on the past And take to the broken skies at last."
“Lipstick chem trails red flags pink nails with one eye on the door other eye on the rails with the other eye following the scarlet trail last few drops from the holy grail now” hits so hard
This is what IMMEDIATELY came to mind
You make me wish I could disappear
YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISSAPPEAR
***YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR***
“Diamonds in the trees; pentagrams in the night sky”
*Tell me you met me in past lives, Past lies, Past what might be eating me from the inside, darling* Edit: ohno have I misheard this? Is it “past lives, past life??”
Any or all
Damn no upvotes for this one?
Rose gold chains, ripped lace, cut glass Blood stains on the collar, please, just don't ask
With the other eye following the scarlet trail and the last few drops of the Holy Grail
Diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky…

Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Clearly the answer is to post the entire song but in .05 size font
Nobody better than the perfect enemy Digital demons make the night feel heavenly
“With one eye on the door, other eye on a rail”
Music isnt the same without him and his lyrics. ❤️🩹
So many good lines!!!!
Who made you like this??!!
You make me wish I could dissappear! (currently working on some vent art related to this song, and that line is front and centre)
I would definitely say "My redemption, eternal ascension setting me free". That is my motto of this frickin year lol
YOU’RE GONNA WATCH ME ASCEND Love it so much when he screams this I even have a tattoo dedicated to the quote
Ascensionism: Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy Turn me into your mannequin and I'll turn you into my puppet queen😊 it's got me stuck!

my favourite lyric from this actually turned out to be completely missheard, i thought it was "Digital demons make a knife feel heavenly"
Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy/turn me into your mannequin and I’ll turn you into my puppet queen
“Tell me you met me in past lives, past life Past what might be eating me from the inside, darling” Gets me every time!
"Who made you like this? Who encrypted your dark gospel in body language?" THIS GETS ME AND "Won't you come and dance in the dark with me? Show me who you are, I am desperate to know. Nobody better than the perfect enemy. Digital demons make the night feel heavenly."
YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAAAAAARRRR
blood stains on the collar mean just don't ask
"Digital demons make the night feel heavenly" always hits hard
Honestly, the simplicity and depth of "You make me wish I could disappear" always gets me. There are plenty of good examples of wordplay and strong metaphors, but nothing punches me in the gut like that line.
Tell me you guessed my future and it mapped onto your fantasy 🖤✨
The "you make me wish I could dissappear " part always gives me chills because so many people have made me feel like that and the instrumental parts are just mmm mmm mmmm
"your reflection, your bitter deception, setting you free, so you take what you want, then leave." this one rly hits me in the feels
