This one really got to me.

The dependency angle I took from this song hit a little too close to home, especially the idea of knowing something probably isn’t good for you but still feeling like you NEED it because your brain is telling you that it’s the thing that’s going to make you feel okay.

I’m really curious how you guys interpreted Dark Signs though. Do you see Sleep the same way I did here, or did you take the song in a completely different direction?

And if you’ve been following my Sundowning journey, do you feel like these songs are starting to connect with each other yet? Because I’m definitely starting to notice some things 👀

This is one of those songs you want to listen to in the car with the volume all the way up and just cruising. One of my favorite sleep token songs 🖤

This song is the one that was on repeat once I started listening to ST. As soon as I heard it as I was going through their tracks, it was being played on repeat every day. His voice in this is just so animalistic, so depraved almost. Talking about how he came from this darkness, and how he’ll always be drawn to it, and how he’ll always choose it. I just always have to stop and appreciate this song whenever it comes on. It’s so fun to sing to as well 💃

Back in 2019 when I discovered Sleep Token, it was this song that really made me realise that they were going to be huge. It was different, it was modern, it was good, and its appeal would stretch across fans of multiple genres. Very pleased to say I was right!

Dark Signs and Higher are II's favorites to play live, according to his Drumeo interview.

I envy you getting to hear it for the first time. Enjoy the ride, brother. We appreciate you! Worship!!

This is an old one of theirs, there's less filter on his voice and I love it. This is the first song of theirs I heard back in 2019 and I was immediately hooked.

This is the one. I always forget about this one because I only listen to it in certain moods, but every time I hear it…is EXACTLY when I need to hear it. 🤯😭

I always love hearing your thoughts on ST! This band is such an experience. I'm sooooo looking forward to what's to come ..... :hands-yellow-heart-red:

Dark Signs was the first Sleep Token song that became an absolute favorite of mine—though we all know that favorite songs by Vessel and the band are constantly changing.believe that’s intentional on Vessel’s part—he is a vessel for us, and we are allowed—and meant—to imbue the songs and lyrics with our own meaning... healing and worship.

II has said that this and like that from this place will become your tomb is his favorite songs to play. I love how free he is with this song going back and forth between the EDM/trap kit and the drum kit

This is one of my favorite ST songs. I think its pretty underrated. But its soooo good. Im glad to see you enjoying it so much. Love your interpretations as well thank you for giving us your personal views and not just trying to force interpretations into existing theories. I really appreciate that.❤ 🫶 🖤

This is one of my favorites with them! Same with Even in Arcadia which is pretty similar and a great break from the rest of each album’s faster tracks

SUCH a great song ❤

Really cool song! I loved your interpretation! ❤

2:26 “oh, this is DIFFERENT.” lol welcome to the sleep token experience. This is one of those groups that give you the rare experience of “your favorite sleep token song is whichever one you’re listening to right now.”

One of my favorites

This song was my intro to the group,  Still one of my favorite.  

You should see the version with II (two) playing all the electric pads

“I won’t bend and break for my basic need to be loved and close to somebody” - always loved this, even if in vessel’s case, I don’t know if it’s true (hello nazareth)

in the relatability of relationships aspect with their writing, this is something I feel like we all do… ruminate, try to pick up on the red flags that we should have seen all along, get mad at ourselves for not seeing them.

the rest of this album always feels like a battle of wills to me 😅 excited for the rest!

Was right about you loving this one. Knew that drop would get you.

Not sure what lyrics you read but most sites have the background lyircs as "I won't break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody>" So, Sleep Token has frustratingly never released official lyrics, but the touring bassist, III, once posted a pic on Instagram and the caption had "I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody." He's only a touring member, but that's about as close to an official lyric we have. I kind of like the idea of it being either because I think he's having that battle between "I won't" and "I might."

This song is a very important one for my Sleep Token journey. The first Sleep Token song I ever listened to was Caramel. I searched Sleep Token and clicked the first video that came up. That was off their most recent album, same one as Gethsemane. Now it ranks as one of my favorite songs, but at the time I was unsure. It was completely not what I expected and it intrigued me enough that I wanted to check out more. I decided to start with Sundowning rather than with the EPs. Listened to the first 3 tracks, which again, love now, but at first still wasn't sure. Then I got to Dark Signs and this was the song where I was like, okay, they got me. The bass at the beginning that you can feel in your chest. The drop. The little background "hey hey" noise. The progression from starting chill, to picking up with the electronic stuff, and then merging that into the rock. II switching from the pads to the acoustics. Just such a well crafted song.

Think you pretty much got the meaning dead on. He knew Sleep was trouble. Knew it would be bad for him. But he couldn't resist, and now he hates who he is.

Great video. See you on Higher at some point. 🫶
