Sleep Token - Higher Lyrics

If The Script wrote prog, this would be it.

The drummer reminds me so much of Abe of Deftones

*My thought process having only heard 'Jaws'*
"Okay, kinda different but similar. I'm enjoying it so far"
4:20 "Okay dang we got some screams goin in here"
4:30 "ヽ(ﾟ〇ﾟ)ﾉ Hoooly fucking crap this shit hits harder than a kangaroo on crack"
4:53 "M-... Mr. Stark... I don't feel so good"

Some parts sounds like newer Tesseract, which is a good thing

It is scientifically proven that being able to not headbang during the brakedown is fucking impossible. And illegal.

This along with sugar, are the best tracks on the album.

I need a fucking video of this song.

Can we get a...
Dance Gavin Dance
Dayseeker
Thornhill
Sleep Token, tour someday please and thank you :))

soooooooo good

I can't be the only one getting Deftones vibes from this. Too good!!

This song is veeeery Node-era Northlane. Love it.

I only found these guys a month ago or so when I was recommended The Offering. I have no expectations in terms of sound, only in quality and they never fail to shatter those expectations. Music is for everyone and all are intertwinable and Sleep Token show that in every song.

Fuck man I just clocked what they did visually here with HER fading into HIGHER and I am struck goddamn

The Lord's Book

best song on the album

When I saw Sleep Token live recently I was up front and center. During the last breakdown Vessel jumped up on the barrier and screamed right in my ear. 10/10

They’re revolutionizing this industry. Absolutely in love with this band.

If it is even possible, this is the best Song on Sundowning.

The breakdown at the end just knocked us into outer space.

Unbelievably refreshing, like a brain freeze conveyor of emotion, a new animal has emerged. Welcome to a new cocktail stew of musical arts.

This sounds SOOOOOOO different live. Both are a great experience. Cheers from Detroit. Saint Andrew’s Hall.

The Drummer must have attended the Matt Halpern School of Drumming

Associated with the Matt Halpern School of Weird Drumming Faces

this band is surreal.

This whole song is amazing, but the vocals at the beginning are something else. Vessel's cadence is perfect.

This album is absolutely incredible. Such beauty.

WTF JUST HAPPENED TO ME

You got reborn.

I have no idea what the point of this band is and the sleep or whatever it is they worship... at least most of their music is awesome

Kanye; “I’m only doing worship music now.”
Sleep Token; lmao u too late bruh

This might be my favorite Sleep Token related comment

The end got PHAT.

Seriously tho, I just discovered this band a few hours ago, and I’m so obsessed. In a way, it’s like being shoved under water and then finding bliss in the deep blue encapsulating you. There’s so much emotion happening in each track and the music reflects the lyrics or vise versa. Each note is as powerful as each lyric from Vessel’s mouth. I’m truly astonished at how touching this music is. I can’t even say the right things right now, I just have so many thoughts, I can’t put them all into words. This is a gold mine, thank you to this band.

This specific song is giving me a badass "Detftones/TOOL" vibe.

"I am granting you more, than the debt that I owe"
Ah vessel your lyrics are bliss.





Worship

This is beautiful

As I'm going through a divorce, these words mean something visceral to me.

This song give me chills. This whole album is a masterpiece! Sleep Token could bring world peace as we unite to praise their glorious hymns.

Dude fuck the breakdown those verses are a melodic goldmine 🙏🏻🙏🏻

While this song is absolutely amazing as is, it would have been nasty to have Vessels throw down a filthy "BLEUGH!" just as the breakdown hits

Yeah agreed

sleep token with northlane would be fucking epic

This band is perfect in every way.

Don't sacrifice yourself. You, as you've danced, don't fall. It's up to you. Don't forget yourself, beloved. Listen, too.

So. I have t found a band I became obsessed with since I was 16 and I’m 30 now. The things these guys are doing is amazing

Ooof that outro reminds of "Masamune" by Periphery, or maybe "Dispossession" by Northlane. It's some absolutely filthy shit and I love it.

I'm new to Sleep Token so I was almost surprised, since a lot of the songs I heard first were soft, like "The Way That You Were" and the "Hey Ya" cover. If I hadn't heard the heavier parts of "Jaws" or "The Offering" first I never would have seen it coming.

The guitar in the first half is giving me some callbacks to Russian Circles or something, it sounds eerily familiar.

Adam McCann you literally spoke my fucking mind going through the comments. I was thinking it sounded like the outro breakdown to Masamune and during that thought I read your comment. Great minds and great taste in music 👏🏽

Also get strong tool/apc vibes around the 1:41 mark.

spot on with the masamune comparison.

Giacomo Fiderio yeah I’ll throw sound awake era Karnivool into that mix as well

Huuuge Masamune vibes for sure at the end there.

this i s mty rooom ate account and im high as fuce anad sober i liove tfghiis acvcount okere that natyniathuibf uk uive tbus sleep token forever!!!

THE DEBT THAT I OWE!!!!........ FUUUUUUUCK ME !

The best band around by FAR. Worship!!

4:30 gets filthy ♡

Also 5:03 has to be my fave bit like ooooh DIRTY

When a song (well the breakdown I mean) gives you goosebumps.....you know it's good.

they are releasing full album song by song every other week, right?? Im kind of waiting for some suckers - cause every album has a dull moments, lets be honest...but so far, all five new tracks are brilliant. would love to see them live man.

Fuck yeah. Keep it up

my fav of the lot so far

Aye. The drumming blending in with the whole atmosphere and the vocal lines is just breathtaking.

Simply amazing!

Fucking excellent...... u guys should be as support for TOOL on the UK tour...

I JUST FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!!!!!!

This band truly knows the meaning of "less is more"

Tell that to the drummers poor cymbals!

very yes

after a few days of jamming out to this song I can safely say this is their most insanely song written thus far with one of my fav breakdowns.

EDIT: I can't stop listening to this.

Mi culto ya se rindió :3

Very nice to hear a new stuff from Tokens. The composition is some ... Predictable, but is your own style. I need to hear a song from Tokens, starts with a full enter band riff.

That breakdown mang.
Hot diggity

Too poppy 👎🏻

Jesus!!!! ❤️

The debt that I owe.......WORSHIP

Katatonia/VOLA/Sleep Token ... This is the ultimate tour. Please make it happen.

Christophe Jergales yes I would love to see that!

I am currently being crushed by a slow breakup. This song is therapy on another level. Thank you so much.

when u try to be heavy and yell with distortion, then copy quantum flux. nice

21 tokens

Holy shit man. Every track is better than the previous one. Can’t wait for the album

I haven't enjoyed a song this much in a very long time

So love that these guys are gaining popularity, totally deserved. Every song they put out is gold.

Glad I got into these dudes.

Absolutely phenomenal arrangements, dynamics, and overall guitar tones across this entire song. Brutally beautiful. Nice work and you can really feel the emotion and energy is this track 100% Killer job ST

Jesus Christ

They have no choice but to tell us who they are now. We need somebody to ask about that FILTHY guitar tone.

Now that's what I call a breakdown!

I'm 46 years old and I absolutely love this! Never let it be said that you're too old to keep discovering good new music. Truly great emotional music has no boundries when it comes to age, in the same way that it's always good for a band to infuse different genres in their sound. Looking forward to hearing much more from this fantastic band! I'm aware they aren't a brand new band, but compared to a lot of the older music I have loved for decades, then they are fairly recent. Always happy to hear a good newer band that crushes the myth that all new music is crap, that that I've heard and read a lot of music fans from my age group and above tend to say. Excellent stuff!

46 isn't even old. Maybe because I'm 35 now but even when I was in my 20s i didnt' think 40s were old. I consider old like 80 and above lol.

Fuck yes Steve! This band really is something else!

46 is indeed not even old. I wish you have at least 46 years more to continue discovering great emotional music, just like you said.

God this makes me want the album

I love this band with passion.

Love it,best of the new songs so far.
Gutted Camden show was sold out,but on waiting list but don't hold out much hope.

I hope they have more like this and The Offering in the pipe! Two of my favorite releases so far! The Drum work is insanely groovy as always I love it! Combined with these nasty riffs it makes me whole again

Sleep token are a new band for me but I am fully involved now. Mad talented!

worship/10

Seldom is a breakdown so well deserved

These cunts can’t write a bad song.

so good

Worship

This hits harder than Dads belt.

Jax Battye oh damn. I felt that one.

Worship

See you in Seattle this November to W O R S H I P Him in person.

420 likes 0 dislikes. I can't be the 421st like...

Sara Paolo but i can be the first dislike.

I was not ready... Worship.

Also... No fade out? Just noticed on like my 10th time on repeat. The end is like getting hit by a freight train and then it's just... silence.

Can't fade out live, bro.

Every. Song. Is. Gold.

Holy shit :0 How have I not discovered this band yet??? Fucking incredible

THIS SLAPS

somebody removed their dislike lol

Disliked immediately but then they listened to the song and realized that they were wrong

Had a crack at lyrics: (can't get one of the chorus words)

You say you won't begin again
Capitulate and let me in
Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone
you are taking your time you are killing me slow
and i know, we instigate
go back and forth lacerate
cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe

Cause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending we just can't resist the violence
And you be the melody, I only need the silence
but each time we battle the blood and the fury takes us a little higher

When all that you believe you still refuse to shelter me
Cause I am a danger, and you're a long way from home
You are one among many but you're now on your own
And I hate the way you look at me when I am not understood
Cause you can remember only when you're alone
I am granting you more than the debt that I owe

Begin again

Cause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet
And we are exhausted by all this pretending we just can't resist the violence
And you be the melody, I only need the silence
but each time we battle the blood and the fury takes us a little higher

The debt that I owe

Hmm the missing lyric sound like (scarlett) and also the phrase with amenity kinda sounds "you need the melody I only need the silence"

@Joshua Boyles yep. they make way more sense haha

Worship

😎 🤘 the last seconds..!

Already bought tickets for you guys

Vessel once said in an interview that "Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don’t get lost in genres, they’ll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone." and I think they encapsulate that belief in this song completely.

Nick Coffeen where is this interview?

@Kendrick Foo https://www.loudersound.com/features/who-and-what-the-hell-are-sleep-token

that was the most pretentious interview I've ever read.

@Thelema I totally agree. Idk why he was acting so weird.

Was a bit skeptical on this one until Sleep Token literally dropped the filthiest breakdown of their career

caesar the ape agreed.

Right?!! Agh so fucking good

The guitar and base coming in around the one minute is better then a wet dream

Posted before Gods came out 😘

Best breakdown I've heard in a while

Who engineered those drums? Nolly?

It sure does sound like it. I really enjoy this mix. Sounds phenomenal

Sounds like GGD Modern & Massive to me!

George Lever did ALL the work on this album and all previous Sleep Token songs. George did say the drummer is very experienced and experienced enough in a studio setting that he had to do little to NO audio replacement or quantization to the drums.

Here's a write up talking about the sessions for JAWS: http://g1productions.com/sleep-token-jaws/

George Lever has engineered and mixed all of their work so far. G1 productions. He does work out of middle farm which is where the GGD packs are recorded.

Hello - I did. However, not at middle farm as it was booked when we were doing the record, maybe next time? Who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️
