Metal scholars, in this video essay I explore the contention between two Sleep Token songs, "The Summoning" and "Take Me Back to Eden," vying for the title of the band's best and most classic track. I delve into the unique elements that define Sleep Token's genre-spanning sound, such as their blend of alternative, pop, and metal, as well as progressive and djent influences. The analysis goes beyond musical style, focusing on the songs' ability to weave an epic narrative with emotional highs and lows.

What about you, what's your favorite Sleep Token song? Do you think there's another tune that best sums up what the band is all about? Please let me know in the comments, please like and share and subscribe to the channel. :)

Is This Sleep Token's BEST SONG?

Lyrics (The Summoning)
I've got a river running right into you
I've got a blood trail, red in the blue
Something you say or something you do
A taste of the divine
You've got my body, flesh and bone, yeah
The sky above, the Earth below
Raise me up again
Take me past the edge
I want to see the other side
See the other side
You've got my body, flesh and bone
The sky above, the Earth below
Raise me up again
Take me past the edge
I want to see the other side
Won't you show me what it's like?
Won't you show me what it's like?
Oh, and my love
Did I mistake you for a sign from God?
Or are you really here to cut me off?
Or maybe just to turn me on
'Cause these days
I would be lying if I told you that
I didn't wish that I could be your man
Or maybe make a good girl bad

Take me Back to Eden lyrics

I dream in phosphorescence
Bleed through spaces
See you drifting past the fog
But no one told you where to go
We dive through crystal waters, perfect oceans
But no one told me not to breathe
And now the weightlessness recedes
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, take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
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
Room feels like a meat freezer, I dangle in it like cold cuts
Missed calls, answered phones from people I just don't trust
Mirror talk, fake love
But I'll take a pound of your flesh
Before you take a piece of my paystub
White roses, black doves, Godmother, rise up
I need you to see me for what I have become
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 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
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
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 have traveled far beyond the path of reason
Take me back to Eden
Take me back to Eden
