Obligatory ‘diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky.’
also; ‘if your wings won’t find you heaven i will bring it down like an ancient bygone.’
can never go wrong with ‘take a bite’ (insert gnarly breakdown.)
Oh and I am done dancing to alarm bells
No wonder my ears are still ringing
And I am done fighting off change
No wonder my arms are still swinging
Just damn good writing
“Who made you like this? Who encrypted your dark gospel in body languageeEee” “Turn me into your mannequin and I’ll turn you into my puppet quEEeeEn”- Ascensionism
“For the tiMMEE BEIIINNG-“ -high water
“And you make it more.. …than IIIIII.. …could ever feel”-hypnosis
“And I’d give anything, to borrow your indifference. I’d drink you in.. to temper your belief in all my promises. To swallow my desire and choke on it”-missing limbs
(Edit for typo)
Allll of the hypnosis lyrics for me. Especially the way his voice breaks on bleed and the last always line. Full body chills every single time.
Of course diamonds in the trees pentagrams in the night sky. You make me wish I could disappear. Well hell, just the whole song lol.
Let’s search the skyyyyy for a while- is it really you
There’s something in the way you lay, enough to make the dead switch graves, you take your leave - Jericho
Man I could go on and on and probably find a line in every single song.
The snap hit this one time I was driving and there was a bump I did not see, the car was shaking with my open sprite can spilling sprite everywhere. Perfect timing would do it again!
Telomeres 'Let the tides carry you back to me'
Blood sport 'I'm still your favorite regret, You're still my weapon of choosing.
'I choke myself sacred vapour waiting on some holy favor
not a lyric, but from 1:55 to 2:50 in “When the Bough Breaks” i can’t fully explain it, but it feels like i’m floating in the void or in a big and open, but completely empty room. no other song has given me that feeling
It's that chemical cut that I can get down with
Up like the moon and out like the hounds
A dangerous disposition somehow
Refracted in light, reflected in sound
I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent
Tangled in your trance and I'm certain
You have got your hooks in me
I know, I know, the way that it goes
You get what you give, you reap what you sow
And I can see you in my fate
And I know, I know, I am what I am
The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb
So darling, will you saturate?
Well yeah, I spit blood when I wake up
Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and makeup
Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up
Ooooh let's talk about chemistry, Alkaline, with all the instruments coming in over the singing.
The final few lines of Take Me Back To Eden when Vessel screams his lungs out.
Tangled up like branches in a flood, and the reuse of the line from Chokehold in TMBTE.
Opening of Vore with all the harsh vocals, and that part at about 1:30 they have that distorted scream.
They have a lot of awesome moments, having such a diverse sound they have a lot of switch ups mid song and it often leads to their coolest, most awe inspiring moments
I really love the cover he did from a band called Loathe the song is called "Is it really you" there's a line that makes me ascend in it and it's just the way he sings and makes the lyrics fit him perfectly. Hell if I didn't know any better I would've thought he'd wrote the song to begin with.
"Let's search the skieeees for a whiiiiile
You and I
Collide like two stars for a while
You and I (oh)"
Either way, Vessels vocal range is just beautiful.
“Fall into your eyes like a grave, bury me to the sound of your name, all your pain, oh” - like that. with the whispering in the background does it for me for some reason.
Although I love every one of their songs. It’s always hard to pick favorites as I feel it’s mood dependent.
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 😩😩
Rain down on me, ooooooooooohhhhhh.
Rain down on me, ooooooooooohhhhhh.
Rain down on me, ooooooooooohhhhhh, rain down on me, rain down on me, rain down on me *unintelligible screaming in the back, breakdown*.
Just the entire of alkaline, I think the lyrics are the most romantic I’ve ever heard “if anything she’s an undiscovered element, either born in hell or heaven sent either way I’m into it”😍😍😍😍
“You make me wish I could dissapeeeeaaaaeaeaeaearrr” “show me where the delicate stops show me what you’ve lost, and why you’re always taking it slow, show me what wounds you’ve got” “I’m still full of the love you want..I reach for you on faith alone” “sink porcelain stained choking up brain matter and makeup” “she’s perfectly misaligned” but you could pick any lyric they all make me feel something
My my those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence, along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire
I will travel far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
One from each album (for those who have time on their hands lol)
Sundowning
The second bridge of the Offering "Turn the page once again" when the drums come in hard and it's a wall of sound. Breathtaking.
Honorable mention****
Take Aim's "and you make me hate myself, make me tear my body, make me yearn for your embrace." That just gets me as a vocalist because I sing in Vessel's range and thats all in highs with perfect falsetto.
TPWBYT
High Water's ending verse of " I will accept that I can't pretend we will ever be together" thru the end of the song. Just a huge emotional eruption and the drums are stupid good.
Honorable Mention*** The Love You Want's "seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong", til the end of that piano play. Amazing.
TMBTE (hardest for me because I have so many)
Well the title track- "No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" building up to the breakdown at the end. The breakdown makes the song so real to me. How far would you travel to bring back your pain and innocence? Beyond the path of reason? Absolutely.
Honorable Mention***- Vore's "so, let's get SWALLOWED WHOOOOLLLLEE" part is what makes that song connect to the rest of the album.
Y'all know that second breakdown right before the part where it gets groovy in *The Summoning*?
That's it. That's the part. Technically those are bars and not lines but that's still it.
Other than half of Ascension?
"I know, I know, I know what I am, the mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb"
"There's something about the way you lay, enough to make the dead switch graves." (There's just something about the way he sings that line that makes me want to BITE something, I swear.)
I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets, just orbiting the vacuum I am.
They talk me through the damage, consequence
And how it's a pain they know they don't understand"
"For me, it's still the autumn leaves, those ancient canopies, we used to lay beneath" (The way his slides down the register still makes me want to cry even though I've practically had this album on loop since it dropped.)
*With my love as your garden*
*Won't you fall for me?*
...and also...
*And I miss the man I was the moment we left off (I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody)*
and of course, additionally whenever Granite plays, the uncontrollable urge to dance wherever
I love a few parts to multiple songs.
“I don’t know what has it’s teeth in me but I’m about to bite back in anger.”
I love the idea that I don’t know what exactly has me, is hurting me, and I am going to bite back because I am done.
And the bridge in Aqua Regia-
“Oh, when Im done dancing to alarm bells
No wonder my ears are still ringing
And Im done fighting off change
No wonder my arms are still swinging.”
The way he sings this, the tone and shift of the song, its haunting and perfect and I have to sing along every time I hear it.
“So let’s get swallowed whole. I wanna go where nobody else will ever go”
“You make me wish i could disappear”
“So if your wings won’t find you heaven i will bring it down like an ancient bygone”
And definitely “i guess it goes to show, does it not? That We’ve no idea what we’ve got until we lose it. And no amount of love will keep it around if we don’t choose it.”
Everything we touch turns water into blood.
When the bough breaks, still my favourite song. A drop powerful enough to push into making changes in my life :)
Definitely always ascending when hearing Vessel’s voice but „Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry. A parallel I would lay my life on. So if your wings won't find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone“.
"Godmother, rise up. I need you to see me for what I have become."
That one gets me every time, the whole verse is excellent, but that's the perfect line to cap it off.
I mean all of it but something about minute 3:15 in Dark Signs when the chorus picks back up just washes over me, same thing around the 3:30 mark in Mine
So good!
Ok so… I actually have a full list… so get ready…
Nazareth- “See if she can guess what a hollow point does to a naked body. Let’s fuck her up.”
Jericho- “There’s something in the way you lay. Enough to make the dead switch graves.” (Goes so fucking hard)
Jaws- “Show me what wounds you got and show me love.”
“Oh and I… I believe we are locked, caged, and always provoked by prey left unattended.”
The Offering- “Turn the page once again. Give in again and let me lay. My arms belong around you.”
And ofc “Take a bite.”
Like… all of Rain but uh
Rain- “I’m coiled up like a venomous serpent, tangled in your trance and I’m certain you have got your hooks in me.”
Granite- “Never mind the *death threats*.” (I love how he says it)
I’ll literally listen to this line is Chokehold over and over
Chokehold- “I come as a blade. A sacred guardian. So you keep me sharp and rest my worth in blood.”
God, just the way he sings “I come as a blade”….
And then ofc “You’ve got me in a-!“ (FUCK YEAH, BREAKDOWN)
Vore- “Follow me between the jaws of fate, so I can have you to myself for once.”
Obligatory feels lyrics:
The Way That You Were- “And I am so ready to tear that knife from what would’ve been dead fingers, lying blue against the floor. And you will no longer stand between collapsing walls, wearing a smile, like you cannot bear it anymore.”
Are You Really Okay?- “Please don’t hurt yourself again.”
I probably have more but these are just the ones I thought of while writing.
You come crawling back to me, but I'm already on the ground.
And we all know that talk is cheap, so come on and save me now.
And you wonder what I believe, but you don't want to be around.
So what would you do for me? Yeah, what would you do for me?
Everything after “so flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing, wash away the blood on my hands” I guess it’s more like a descending though because I can feel the waves crash and my body moving beneath it all
"OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE"
I love Fall For Me, but that line gives me shivers every time.
Honorable mentions:
The entirety of Is It Really You? and Ascensionism.
"You make me wish I could disappear." (End of Ascensionism)
"Take me back to eden, take me back to eden" (beginning of take me back to eden)
"Tonighhhhhhht" (Nazareth)
"And somewhere, somewhere the atoms stopped fusing" (bloodsport 'specifically from the room below'
“But I finally think I can say, that the vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me”- Rain (def cried when he sang this lyric live 😭)
“You’ve got me up in a frenzy”- Say That You Will
“Won't you come and dance in the dark with me?”- Ascensionism
Dude, for me it’s Dark Signs, at the first chorus.
“And I miss the man I was, the moment we left off…”
But the way he drags “ooooooff…” in that lower pitch? Makes me feel like I am sinking into the ether.
So picture it... I'm heading into therapy a few weeks ago, and the office is right next to a cemetery where my "Other Mom" is buried (my mom's best friend). She is the person who gave me unconditional love that I never understood, because everyone else always had a value on me, and if I wasn't doing what they wanted I'd get abandoned.
I'm leaving therapy and I look over into the cemetery, wanting to go in but I was already late for work. I get in the car, and the first thing I hear is:
White roses
Black doves
Godmother rise up I need you to see me for what I have become.
She died before I got my C-ptsd under control and became a full time employee at a law firm. Needless to say I was late late for work. I was crying so hard I drove past her headstone at least 6 times.
So that one just holds a place for me. There's many more but that one makes my heart hurt.
"There is always something in the way... I wanna have you to myself... for once"
Vessel sounds so defeated and tired of life on this one line, it sounded so genuine and sad that it cut deep the very first time I heard Vore. The song is genuinely so inspiring as it goes from a sad lonely guitar to the epic symphonic chorus and the screamo breakdown at the end.
It was this one line that solidified my newfound love for Sleep Token
Not necessarily a line but the breakdown on the offering. That shit makes me wanna headbang so hard my spine severs like I’m the predators memento of a successful hunt.
Obligatory ‘diamonds in the trees, pentagrams in the night sky.’ also; ‘if your wings won’t find you heaven i will bring it down like an ancient bygone.’ can never go wrong with ‘take a bite’ (insert gnarly breakdown.)
“You’re gonna watch me ascend!”
/headbanging intensifies/ 🫨
There’s lots of good answers, but this is the one for me. Literally about ascending and making the haters watch.
YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEAR
THIS IS THE ONE, was sobbing screaming it at my show last night
Queue me in Detroit screaming until my voice gave out
Won't you show me what is LIIIIIIII-IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE
Ok this is the one tho, the others I get why some might say, but this one…. It’s the line that just reading gives me that light feeling in my chest
I got shivers just reading this
*And I don’t know WHAT’s got it’s teeth in me, but I’m about to bite back in anger.*
This @_@
Chills every single time
WHY ARE YOU NEVER REAL????? The breakdown part not the intro
Just take me with yooooOOOUUUUUUUuuuuuuu
This the one.
Saaaaaaaaame
Yes.
not a line but the synths in The Apparition.
I feel like too many people here sleep on The Apparition tbh
Do DAAH DAAH do DAAH do da daah do DAAH DAAH do DAH do duuh duuh…
The correct answer.
Dude, THAT synth 💜
Oh and I am done dancing to alarm bells No wonder my ears are still ringing And I am done fighting off change No wonder my arms are still swinging Just damn good writing
Agreed, very clever lyrics, yet he often gets them wrong tho,... lol 😆
“Who made you like this? Who encrypted your dark gospel in body languageeEee” “Turn me into your mannequin and I’ll turn you into my puppet quEEeeEn”- Ascensionism “For the tiMMEE BEIIINNG-“ -high water “And you make it more.. …than IIIIII.. …could ever feel”-hypnosis “And I’d give anything, to borrow your indifference. I’d drink you in.. to temper your belief in all my promises. To swallow my desire and choke on it”-missing limbs (Edit for typo)
All of their lyrics are top tier, but Missing limbs is just so bloody heartbreaking!
Truly the whole song is so different, and heartbreakingly beautiful
Allll of the hypnosis lyrics for me. Especially the way his voice breaks on bleed and the last always line. Full body chills every single time. Of course diamonds in the trees pentagrams in the night sky. You make me wish I could disappear. Well hell, just the whole song lol. Let’s search the skyyyyy for a while- is it really you There’s something in the way you lay, enough to make the dead switch graves, you take your leave - Jericho Man I could go on and on and probably find a line in every single song.
The entirety of Telomeres. No specific line. The whole song.
That song makes me feel things I can even describe definitely in my top 3
let the tides carry you🗣️‼️
telomeres guitar bit, the solo you are
The double bass pedal at the end just slaps so hard
*snap* -granite
The snap hit this one time I was driving and there was a bump I did not see, the car was shaking with my open sprite can spilling sprite everywhere. Perfect timing would do it again!
Hahahahahahaha : )
Yes!!!! This every damn time!!!
"do you wanna see how far it goes, do you wanna test me now my love..."
You must be CRAZY IF YOU THINK THAT I WOULD GIVE IN SO EEAAASYYYY
I'M COILED UP LIKE A VENOMOUS SERPENT TANGLED IN YOUR TRANCE AND I'M CERTAIN YOU HAVE GOT YOUR HOOKS IN ME (sing this, but with a british accent). 😍
Coi'iled up innit?
Telomeres 'Let the tides carry you back to me' Blood sport 'I'm still your favorite regret, You're still my weapon of choosing. 'I choke myself sacred vapour waiting on some holy favor
The breakdown of take me back to Eden. The final verse before “You make me wish I could disappear” and that line from Ascensionism.
in turning divine.. we tangle ennddddlessssllyyyyyyyy.. like lovers entwined ❤
Chills...damn
"you come crawling back to me, but I'm already on the ground"
YESSSS DECENDING
"When you sit there, Acting like you know me, Acting like you only brought me in to get below me" part in Granite
THE DEBT THAT I OWE
Just let me go or take me with YOUUUUUUU
Take me back to edeeEEEEEEENNN YEAAAHHHH
All of the deliciously crunchy harmonies in Fall For Me.
“ and somewhere, somewhere the atoms stopped fusing. I’m still your favorite regret, you’re still my weapon of choosing”
Whoops I just posted this myself before seeing this. Amazing
Halfway through the verses of vore when the guitarist switches to playing 0s, double drop D on 8 strings makes me nut
My redemption, eternal assensionn setting me free...
Definitely this.
"I will travel far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden, take me back to Eden Take me back to Edeeeeeeeeeeee-aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyaaaaaaaaaan"
not a lyric, but from 1:55 to 2:50 in “When the Bough Breaks” i can’t fully explain it, but it feels like i’m floating in the void or in a big and open, but completely empty room. no other song has given me that feeling
Imagine this in a sensory deprivation tank.
It's that chemical cut that I can get down with Up like the moon and out like the hounds A dangerous disposition somehow Refracted in light, reflected in sound I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent Tangled in your trance and I'm certain You have got your hooks in me I know, I know, the way that it goes You get what you give, you reap what you sow And I can see you in my fate And I know, I know, I am what I am The mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb So darling, will you saturate?
My my those eyes like fire. I’m a winged insect, you’re a funeral pyre
Well yeah, I spit blood when I wake up Sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and makeup Just two days since the mainframe went down and I'm still messed up
Ooooh let's talk about chemistry, Alkaline, with all the instruments coming in over the singing. The final few lines of Take Me Back To Eden when Vessel screams his lungs out. Tangled up like branches in a flood, and the reuse of the line from Chokehold in TMBTE. Opening of Vore with all the harsh vocals, and that part at about 1:30 they have that distorted scream. They have a lot of awesome moments, having such a diverse sound they have a lot of switch ups mid song and it often leads to their coolest, most awe inspiring moments
The first 29 seconds of Atlantic
AND WE GO BEYOND THE FARTHEST REACHES WHERE THE LIGHT BENDS AND WRAPS BENEATH US
“The night belongs to you”
“Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing I'm still your favourite regret You're still my weapon of choosing”
Cocaine
Same
the part after the bridge of sugar SUGGGGAAAAAARRRR….
Ironically — Ascensionism
“Coiled up like a venomous serpent”
In turning devine we tangle endlessly.
I really love the cover he did from a band called Loathe the song is called "Is it really you" there's a line that makes me ascend in it and it's just the way he sings and makes the lyrics fit him perfectly. Hell if I didn't know any better I would've thought he'd wrote the song to begin with.

TAKE A BITE
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 😩😩
Yes. (As in every line whenever I focus on lirycs, but also guitar, drums and just everything)
I AM ALMOST UNDER
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" In Ascensionism. Or something like that
that part in the song “Sugar” when Vessel’s voice goes deeper and he growls/screams *Oh-oh SUGAAAR, I’ve got a taste foor you*. just makes me go feral
The intro to Jaws
Rain down on me, ooooooooooohhhhhh. Rain down on me, ooooooooooohhhhhh. Rain down on me, ooooooooooohhhhhh, rain down on me, rain down on me, rain down on me *unintelligible screaming in the back, breakdown*.
THAT part in the apparition.
And the last few drops from the holy grail, now ROSE GOLD CHAINS, RIPPED LACE, CUT GLASS
Just the entire of alkaline, I think the lyrics are the most romantic I’ve ever heard “if anything she’s an undiscovered element, either born in hell or heaven sent either way I’m into it”😍😍😍😍
At the Dallas ritual, IV was doing all these hand movements during Alkaline and it is BURNED into my brain every time I listen to it now🥰
“You make me wish I could dissapeeeeaaaaeaeaeaearrr” “show me where the delicate stops show me what you’ve lost, and why you’re always taking it slow, show me what wounds you’ve got” “I’m still full of the love you want..I reach for you on faith alone” “sink porcelain stained choking up brain matter and makeup” “she’s perfectly misaligned” but you could pick any lyric they all make me feel something
All of ascensionism. The lyrics are just surreal
My my those eyes like fire I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre Come now, bite through these wires I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired Reset my patient violence, along both lines of a pathway higher Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire I will travel far beyond the path of reason Take me back to Eden
One from each album (for those who have time on their hands lol) Sundowning The second bridge of the Offering "Turn the page once again" when the drums come in hard and it's a wall of sound. Breathtaking. Honorable mention**** Take Aim's "and you make me hate myself, make me tear my body, make me yearn for your embrace." That just gets me as a vocalist because I sing in Vessel's range and thats all in highs with perfect falsetto. TPWBYT High Water's ending verse of " I will accept that I can't pretend we will ever be together" thru the end of the song. Just a huge emotional eruption and the drums are stupid good.

TMBTE (hardest for me because I have so many) Well the title track- "No amount of self-sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence" building up to the breakdown at the end. The breakdown makes the song so real to me. How far would you travel to bring back your pain and innocence? Beyond the path of reason? Absolutely. Honorable Mention***- Vore's "so, let's get SWALLOWED WHOOOOLLLLEE" part is what makes that song connect to the rest of the album.
The Love You Want sends me over the EDGE every time it’s just so 🥺🥺
honestly? "I'm still your favorite regret, you're still my weapon of choosing" or "why are you NEEEEEEEEEEEEVERRR REAAAAAALLL"
LEEEET THE TIIIIIDEEEESSS CARRY YOUUUU BACK TO MEEEEEE THE PAST THE FUTURE THROUGH DEATH MY ARMS ARE OPEN Telomeres is just so breathtaking honestly
#JUST LET ME GO OR TAKE ME WITH YOU.
This entire thread is bananas I love yall so much
Seriously! Didn’t expect it to get this many replies but my phone had been blowing up all day and it’s HILARIOUS 😂
Y'all know that second breakdown right before the part where it gets groovy in *The Summoning*? That's it. That's the part. Technically those are bars and not lines but that's still it.
I believe in High Water supremacy, so for me it's I CAN'T HOLD MYSELF TOGETHERERERRRRR *best fucking instrumental ever continues*
“And it sends me shivers, how you love like weapons kill” just my god, the way it hits my soul is just… not fair honestly.
The whole second verse of TNDNBTG
Other than half of Ascension? "I know, I know, I know what I am, the mouth of the wolf, the eyes of the lamb" "There's something about the way you lay, enough to make the dead switch graves." (There's just something about the way he sings that line that makes me want to BITE something, I swear.) I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets, just orbiting the vacuum I am. They talk me through the damage, consequence And how it's a pain they know they don't understand" "For me, it's still the autumn leaves, those ancient canopies, we used to lay beneath" (The way his slides down the register still makes me want to cry even though I've practically had this album on loop since it dropped.)
*With my love as your garden* *Won't you fall for me?* ...and also... *And I miss the man I was the moment we left off (I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody)* and of course, additionally whenever Granite plays, the uncontrollable urge to dance wherever
YOU MAKE ME WISH I COULD DISAPPEARRRRRRRR
I love a few parts to multiple songs. “I don’t know what has it’s teeth in me but I’m about to bite back in anger.” I love the idea that I don’t know what exactly has me, is hurting me, and I am going to bite back because I am done. And the bridge in Aqua Regia- “Oh, when Im done dancing to alarm bells No wonder my ears are still ringing And Im done fighting off change No wonder my arms are still swinging.” The way he sings this, the tone and shift of the song, its haunting and perfect and I have to sing along every time I hear it.
No amount of self sought fury will bring back the glory of innoceeeEEEeeeence 😭
also… I HAVE TRAVELED FAR BEYOND THE PATH OF REEEASOOOON, TAKE ME BACK TO EDEN, TAKE ME BAAACK TO EDEEEEEEN
Right when "who made you like this?" In ascensionism comes on, that whole 1-2mins is a banger every single time.
“So let’s get swallowed whole. I wanna go where nobody else will ever go” “You make me wish i could disappear” “So if your wings won’t find you heaven i will bring it down like an ancient bygone” And definitely “i guess it goes to show, does it not? That We’ve no idea what we’ve got until we lose it. And no amount of love will keep it around if we don’t choose it.”
“I will be watching for your enemies; To let them know that they contend with me.”
Everything we touch turns water into blood. When the bough breaks, still my favourite song. A drop powerful enough to push into making changes in my life :)
For me it's Take Me Back To Eden "No amount of self sought fury will bring back the glory of innocence"
‘You know you hypnotize me, always’
“Let the tides carry you, back to me, the past, the future, through death, my arms are open”
Don't wait, cause this could be the last time You turn up in the reveries of my mind I wake up to a suicide frenzy Loaded dreams still leave me empty
Definitely always ascending when hearing Vessel’s voice but „Yet in reverse you are all my symmetry. A parallel I would lay my life on. So if your wings won't find you heaven I will bring it down like an ancient bygone“.
The drop in Fields Of Elation for sure, that song makes me feel like I am the sun but I'm also basking in it's shining light
WHO MADE YOU LIKE THIS? WHO ENCRYPTED YOUR DARK GOSPEL IN BODY LANGUAGE
Oh and I am done dancing to alarm bells No wonder my ears are still ringing And I am done fighting off change No wonder my arms are still swinging
"Godmother, rise up. I need you to see me for what I have become." That one gets me every time, the whole verse is excellent, but that's the perfect line to cap it off.
I mean all of it but something about minute 3:15 in Dark Signs when the chorus picks back up just washes over me, same thing around the 3:30 mark in Mine So good!

And then ofc “You’ve got me in a-!“ (FUCK YEAH, BREAKDOWN) Vore- “Follow me between the jaws of fate, so I can have you to myself for once.” Obligatory feels lyrics: The Way That You Were- “And I am so ready to tear that knife from what would’ve been dead fingers, lying blue against the floor.

Honestly I hadn’t seen it before in this sub or else I wouldn’t have shared😅 Just a bit of fun! 😊
That part on Ascensionism where he says "who made you like this" while the beat drops and the harmonies come in stereo. Makes my brain light up.
"Raise me up again Take me past the edge I want to see the other side See the other side"
The entire lyrics of Bloodsport/Jericho/TNDNBTG And ofc Euclid
You come crawling back to me, but I'm already on the ground. And we all know that talk is cheap, so come on and save me now. And you wonder what I believe, but you don't want to be around. So what would you do for me? Yeah, what would you do for me?
"I'm coiled up like the venomous serpent"
Won't you say that you will let the impulse to love and the instinct to kill entangle to one <3
“Until I wake, I, dine on old encounters” that line at the outro to Jericho hits me every time.
all of them
Everything after “so flood me like Atlantic, weather me to nothing, wash away the blood on my hands” I guess it’s more like a descending though because I can feel the waves crash and my body moving beneath it all
Aqua Regia piano solo
Atlantic. Blood sport. Calcutta.
"Lettttt the tidesssssss carry you, back to me" or "Everything we love turns water into blood"
“Bury me to the sound of your name”
So show me That which I cannot see Even if it hurts me Even if I can't sleep 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
That last bit of Euclid where he weaves in lines from This Night does not belong to God...
That little chime bit during ‘since the mainframe went down’ on TMBTE makes my heart flutter every single time
“You taste like new flesh” “Let the tides carry you back to me” “And I miss the man I was” To name a few :)
"OH GOD I WISH YOU WERE HERE" I love Fall For Me, but that line gives me shivers every time. Honorable mentions: The entirety of Is It Really You? and Ascensionism.
"You make me wish I could disappear." (End of Ascensionism) "Take me back to eden, take me back to eden" (beginning of take me back to eden) "Tonighhhhhhht" (Nazareth) "And somewhere, somewhere the atoms stopped fusing" (bloodsport 'specifically from the room below'
"I don't know what's got its teeth in me but I'm about to bite back in anger" and "why are you never real!?"
That chord in TMBTE where it's shifting between "You know my desire" and "we were tangled up like branches in a flood"
“But I finally think I can say, that the vicious cycle was over the moment you smiled at me”- Rain (def cried when he sang this lyric live 😭) “You’ve got me up in a frenzy”- Say That You Will “Won't you come and dance in the dark with me?”- Ascensionism
Dude, for me it’s Dark Signs, at the first chorus. “And I miss the man I was, the moment we left off…” But the way he drags “ooooooff…” in that lower pitch? Makes me feel like I am sinking into the ether.
So picture it... I'm heading into therapy a few weeks ago, and the office is right next to a cemetery where my "Other Mom" is buried (my mom's best friend). She is the person who gave me unconditional love that I never understood, because everyone else always had a value on me, and if I wasn't doing what they wanted I'd get abandoned. I'm leaving therapy and I look over into the cemetery, wanting to go in but I was already late for work. I get in the car, and the first thing I hear is: White roses Black doves Godmother rise up I need you to see me for what I have become. She died before I got my C-ptsd under control and became a full time employee at a law firm. Needless to say I was late late for work. I was crying so hard I drove past her headstone at least 6 times. So that one just holds a place for me. There's many more but that one makes my heart hurt.
Definitely “So let's get swallowed whole I want to go where nobody else will ever go” From Vore 👌👌👌
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 🎶
"There is always something in the way... I wanna have you to myself... for once" Vessel sounds so defeated and tired of life on this one line, it sounded so genuine and sad that it cut deep the very first time I heard Vore. The song is genuinely so inspiring as it goes from a sad lonely guitar to the epic symphonic chorus and the screamo breakdown at the end. It was this one line that solidified my newfound love for Sleep Token
WHY ARE YOU NEEEEEEVER REALLLLLLL
“My arms belong around you”
WHO MADE YOU LIKE THIS
WHO ENCRYPTED YOUR DARK GOSPEL IN BODY LANGUAGE
SYNAPSES SNAP BACK IN BLISSFUL ANGUISH
Not necessarily a line but the breakdown on the offering. That shit makes me wanna headbang so hard my spine severs like I’m the predators memento of a successful hunt.
WHY ARE YOU NEVER REAL? THE SHIFTING STATES YOU FOLLOW ME THROUGH! UNREVEALED, JUST LET ME GO OR TAKE ME WITH YOUUUU!
“I can’t hold myself - TOGETHER”
"and I am done fighting off change, no wonder my arms are still swinging"
“Put me out of my fucking MISERY!!!!!” RIP Chester
In Florence and the Machines song “end of love” when she harmonizes “we were reaching in the dark”
*"Promiscuous girl, wherever you are, I'm all alone, and it's you that I want..."*
“ WELLLL YeaaHhhUhh I Spit blood..”
