Caramel doodles:::)

"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed 😁

I can never leave Tumblr because after years of sporadic therapy utterly failed to even approach the core of my problem some random tumblr user was like “I processed my trauma by writing a 10,000 word work of filthy fanfic erotica” and I was like “fuck it I’ve tried everything else” and now I’m 17 chapters and 20,000 words deep into an unpublishable work of obscenity and after careful literary analysis with one of the Beloved Mutuals I have come to some Terrible Revelations about my childhood and may now continue the process of Healing. Where else am I supposed to get this kind of experience. Who does this. Why are we like this. I’m never leaving. I love y’all.

it’s a conversation at this point. he’s just processing his feelings and giving us the end result of what he made of it. laid it out bare, yes. broke his character, yes. but he’s not mad at any individual in particular

imo even thinking that he’s releasing a song cause he’s big mad :( about his fans :( is just feeling totally entitled as an individual

most of the reception i’ve seen is like everybody is just sad. just enjoy the song and process the talking points, think about what he’s talking of. if you’re feeling like it’s a jab at the fanbase what can you do to better the fanbase and the relationship between us and the band? reflecting on it is already enough

this level of fame and what people do is horrendous, yes. as i said, he’s talking about because he can and because his voice has a weight in the community and the industry. just channel this into change instead of wallowing

i just hate seeing people being sorry for a creator instead of praising his impeccable work that puts emphasis on real industry struggles

don’t be sad, people, enjoy the song, it’s fucking gorgeous.

love yall 🫰🏻

Caramel is gorgeous. A classic example of how Sleep Token play with genre, how they weave intense, metaphorically (and plainly) eloquent, emotionally evocative lyrics into lighter music before plunging into heavy tunes. The lyrics are so straightforward yet laden with Vessel's usual artistry.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Vessel and II's ability to craft a story within a song that is both complete in and of itself whilst contributing to the greater narrative that they're building is admirable to the highest degree. They are masters of their craft through and through.

I just love the way Caramel takes our hand and starts us off dancing and leaves us at a standstill. I'm smiling, I'm crying, I'm shimmying, I'm staring at the wall. I'm having so many emotions. It doesn't surprise me how emotive Sleep Token's music is, we know that already, but it still sweeps me off of my feet every damn time.

STELLAR start, Sam

Weren’t you listening? He’s praying. GOES HARD AS FUCK

THIS!! THIS SCENE!!

Everyday I come across people who say ‘oh he was a procrastinator, oh he could have killed his uncle at anytime why didn’t he’

And everyone who says that is Missing. The. Point.

feeling like... connecting this song to sugar was intentional not because of the food/sweets related titles but because sugar has the repeated sentiment "i've developed a taste for you now" and caramel being like... you didn't know when to stop tasting. you consumed too much of me. more than i was willing to give, even. and then there's the connection to hedonistic escalation. jesus fucking christ

when you cry on stage, they don't think it's real.

that's a reasonable assumption.

do you fake it?

no, I don't. but it is something i do consistently, so if I was a member of the audience i would probably assume that it wasn't real.

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
