My song ranking of Sleep Token’s album Even in Arcadia. Honestly though, that top 4 is super hard for me to decide as they are all mind-blowing. Also, had to roll back into this post and drop the lyrics to my favorite parts of each song. Behold!
and I’ve learned to live beside it
and even though it’s over now, I will always be reminded
too young to get bitter over it all
too old to retaliate like before
too blessed to be caught ungrateful, I know
and if this is love, then i am out of hesitation
walking an inch above the pavement
taking it stride by stride together
if this is real, then i am all up in a frenzy
not like before when I was empty
say that the story we tell is never ending
taking it stride by stride together
are you the carbide on my nano?
red glass on my lightbulb
dark light on my culture
sapphire on my white coat
burst out of my chest and
hide out in the vents
and nobody told I’d be begging for relief
when what is silent to you feels like it’s screaming to me
and nobody told me i’d get tired of myself
when it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell
oh and I
I used to know myself
oh and you
you used to know me well
oh and I
I wish that I could leave myself alone
oh and you
you wish that you could make me whole
and our bodies converse like old friends
exchanging in years silence
with something unsaid on both ends
surely we know the difference
even if I’m on my own
when the silcence is deafening
I could be stuck here alone
when even my future is threatening
something is lifting the bones
something is dancing in revelry
wider than oceans below
taller than titans on boxsprings
have you been waiting long!!!
when’s the last time you tasted blood?
and what will it take to stem the flood?
