This Song Is Anything But Basic: Sleep Token "Alkaline" // Christian Lyrical Analysis

8 months ago

Sleep Token is a UK metal band without faces. Imagine if the Phantom of the Opera played in Bon Iver's headphones while he slept, then his arms turned into Ibanez guitars in his dreams. Exactly like that.

If you got the chemistry joke then YOU'RE the nerd. Not me.

Lyrics:

Every once in a while something changes
And she's changing me
It's too late for me now, I am altered
There is something beneath
 
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
 
Ooh, let's talk about chemistry
'Cause I'm dying to melt through
To the heart of her molecules
'Til the particles part like holy water
If anything, she's an undiscovered element
Either born in hell or heaven-sent
Either way I'm into it
 
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
 
She's not acid nor alkaline
Caught between black and white
Not quite either day or night
She's perfectly misaligned
I'm caught up in her design
And how it connects to mine
I see in a different light
The object of my desire
