Vore
Sleep Token Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only recourse we're left after death
Your viscera welcome me in, welcome me in
My life is torn, my bones, they bleed
My metaphors fall short in the end
Your flesh and bone welcome me in, welcome me in
Are you in pain like I am?
Will the pain stop if we go deeper?
So let's get swallowed whole
I want to go where nobody else will ever go
Walls of flesh, so warm again
We step into my suffering
My only need, welcome me in, welcome me in
There is always something in the way
I want to have you to myself for once
Follow me between the jaws of fate
So I can have you to myself for once
So let's get swallowed whole
I want to go where nobody else will ever go
There is always something in the way
I want to have you to myself for once
Are you in pain like I am?
Are you in pain like I am?
Are you in pain like I am?
Are you in pain like I am?
The lyrics of Sleep Token's "Vore" are enigmatic and multi-layered. At a first glance, the song appears to be about a desire for complete immersion and submission to a higher power or deity. The opening lines "You have become the voice in my head / Only recourse we're left after death" suggest a need for guidance and control beyond the limitations of life and the body. The following lines, "Your viscera welcome me in, welcome me in / My life is torn, my bones, they bleed" evoke a sense of violent transformation, of shedding oneself in order to become one with a greater force. The repetition of "welcome me in" reinforces this idea of surrender and acceptance.
As the song progresses, however, it becomes clear that this need for transcendence is intimately connected with pain and suffering. The lines "Are you in pain like I am? / Will the pain stop if we go deeper?" suggest a shared sense of anguish and a desperate search for relief. The chorus "So let's get swallowed whole / I want to go where nobody else will ever go" reinforces this idea of seeking refuge in the unknown, the uncharted territories of the mind and the soul. The "walls of flesh" and the "jaws of fate" become symbols of both temptation and fear, a threshold between the physical and the metaphysical.

@GnralexPlus the only band I can think of is black veil brides. And that doesn't make any sense at all. Don't think this song sounds like BVB at all.
Also it's kinda lame to say they did or didn't reinvent of something. Cause
1. They have a unique sound for sure. They're fusing elements from a lot of our favorite genres and making it accessible to audiences of other genres. Fusion done successfully. Their style is also very diverse across albums. But reinvention would imply paradigm changes.
2. They are definitely really .. i cant think of any other word than radical right now. They're definitrly pushing boundaries like many other bands sharing the same space as them. As far as metal is concerned. So they are reinventing.. kinda.
I think fans should just sit back and enjoy the ride instead of making such value statements. This is what makes bands over and under rated. Being over or underrated is not a judgement on the thing itself but more of the consumer's reaction to the thing.
Worship.

Verse:
Will we remain stuck in the throat of gods?

Walls of flesh, so warm again

VORE: The female praying mantis devours the male during mating.
“Your viscera welcome me In“
“Your flesh and bone welcome me in”
“so let’s get swallowed whole, I wanna go where nobody else will ever go”…
“Walls of flesh, so warm again, we step into my suffering”…
“My only need, welcome me in”.
“Follow me between the jaws of fate”
What I’m interpreting this is a deep love for a female & he wanting to be completely consumed by her, the love brings him immense pain & all he wants is it to be consumed by her & to be seen, heard, felt, understood. Devour me with all my pain
That’s just my personal take from this song

Ever go
Walls of flesh, so warm again
We step inside my suffering
My only need, welcome me in
Welcome me in
There is always something in the way
I wanna have you to myself for once
Follow me between the jaws of fate
So I can have you to myself for once
So let's get swallowed whole
I wanna go where nobody else will

I wanna have you to myself for once
Are you in pain like I am?
Are you in pain like I am?
Are you in pain like I am?

That was a tough one but I think I got them right
