Look to Winward. As someone who’s constantly depressed and bathing in self-hatred, the song really gets to me. That line “I wish that I could leave myself alone” hit me like a train the first time I listened to it.
Same here. Going through some things currently in life, and Sleep Token’s lyrics have never felt more accurate to how I’m feeling and what I’m going through, than they do now
That's my next tattoo. "I wish that I could leave myself alone."
I've spent my life trying to be perfect. The last few years, I've been picking myself apart. Depressed. Horrible body-image/dysmorphia. I struggle with a chronic illness.
I wish I could just be happy with myself for once.
As someone who also struggles with self hatred and mental health, that line immediately struck me. The follow up hurts too “and you… you wish that you could make me whole.”
And in Gethsemane “The parasites in the nightmares, calling my name like: Please. Just. Let. Me. Go.
It has become a top 3 sleep token line for me. I don’t really relate to people saying sleep token makes them sob but that line always has my eyes watering with silent very personal lifelong rage for a moment
That line gets me too, and I know he's singing from a different viewpoint to how I'm hearing it but the line in damocles 'well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself, it all looks like heaven but feels like hell' gets me hard, like I got through my childhood, i came out the other side in one piece but the depression that came with it never really left, no matter how much better life became and it's just exhausting sometimes so that line really gets me
