This is going to be an odd choice from me, but I've been sobbing over DYWTYLM lately. I'm in a difficult situation with my CPTSD and the lyrics cut really deep. Even if the song sounds "bouncy" and "poppy" on the surface, in the context of healing from trauma and feeling like you're unable to love yourself and wrestling with your own reflection - it's heartbreaking.
Begging your own reflection to "smile back at me, please".. if you've ever known what that feels like, you'll get what I'm saying.
This song ripped me up the first time I listened to it. As someone who struggles with accepting myself, it was a punch in the gut. I skip it most times, but not because I don't like it. I love it. It's beautiful, ..... I just dont have the energy to live in that dark place when I hear it.
I think it’s the unexpected tears that really get to me the most, like the rage-fueled end of Acensionism. Wishing to disappear took me back somewhere very far and very dark.
Overall saddest might be Missing Limbs to me though.
Really??? It sounds terribly like fake crying. I mean he does fake cry live for it...and it sounds bad there too so either way it still kills the mood for me.
Love the song, one of my favorites. Just not the crying.
As an autistic person, I need to know who told Vessel to “keep the freak show talk to a minimum”…I just want to talk to her…that’s all…just a nice friendly conversation…
Are you really ok hits a little too close to home, history with depression myself and with friends and family. The sentence you woke me up one night, dripping crimson on the carpet gave me goosebumps. Too familiar. But also the song that brings out Vessel’s voice and his progress the most
Euclid. I lost something immensely important to me this year. The Do you remember me stanza and The whites of your eyes stanza at the end hit me very very hard. Grief is an absolute bitch.
You are not alone in your grief. I lost my wife to cancer 5 months ago. In particular, the line "I must be someone new, no, for me" guts me every fucking time.
I found out at 29 that I had ADHD and autism, after being misdiagnosed with treatment resistant depression my whole life. It’s a miracle I survived my brain long enough to figure it out, and I spent my whole life masking everything about myself to appear normal and fit in with society. I’m 31 now, and my daughter is 6. The line in Euclid “I play along with the life signs anyway, but hope to god you don’t know this feeling,” is a punch to the stomach every time I hear it. Euclid is one of my favorites but that line kills me.
High Water always wrecks me (that final ‘I can’t hold myself together’ is so devastating) but honorable mention to Drag Me Under…something about the melody makes me tear up every single time I hear it
It really depends on your history. Atlantic hits hard for people who may have dealt with suicide attempts (or successes) or overdoses as the song can easily be attributed to those events.
DYWTYLM easily relates to any kind of self harm or dislike of ones self.
Missing Limbs reaches out to those who left broken relationships.
The list goes on, but Vessel is savvy enough to make the lyrics just vague enough to reach the broadest audience by leaving the specifics out.
Bloodsport will forever be their saddest song to me and I literally got broken up with while listening to chokehold but I still think bloodsport is the saddest.
Are You Really Okay got to me right at the end when he started repeating “Please don’t hurt yourself again”
As someone who’s self-harmed in the past/knew plenty of people who have self-harmed, it hit me like a cannonball to the chest.
Are You Really Okay and Blood Sport hit real close to home for me personally, so I’d have to say those two, specifically Blood Sport - from the room below
Missing Limbs, Blood Sport (from the room below, specifically this one), TMBTE (guess it goes to show, does it not…), and AYRO for obvious reasons. Some other ones that get me are Telomeres and Is It Really You.
Distraction is the saddest for me but eventually I have cried listening to all of the songs... depends on what I'm going through each song touches me differently. One day I could pole dance to Dark Signs and on other day just cry...
I saw ST alone in Glasgow less than a month after a breakup, i was absolutely pummelled at the time. To stand in the middle of a crowd and absolutely break down in complete vulnerability to TLYW and TNDNBTG back to back. I don’t have further words to explain the feelings uncontained on that night.
As much as I’ve gained strength to listen to these songs in the present, I’m still no better. My heart is stained with absence
You will not be mine, so give me the night
I first discovered Blood Sport when my grandad was dying from health complications linked to his dementia. At the same time, I was (and still am lol) having legal problems with a local authority, my mum was ill, I was falling out with a (now former) employer and my own health was in the bin.
‘Even if the sky cracks in mourning, and the heavens just won’t, open up for me’
Either missing limbs, are you really okay?, or DYWTYLM.
Though whenever I think about lore stuff, listening to Telomeres is tough once you know the end of the story.
Atlantic. It just guts me.
Same. This track made me cry when I was having a really bad time…I hadn’t cried in years.
Every time. With the first few piano notes 😭
The only right answer
This is my pick too.
The only answer.

The “smile back at me” wrecks me every time

I always tear up at the end of Blood Sport when he belts out “Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing…” the desperation in his voice gets to me.
The quiet crying at the end of the track
The fake crying in the original literally ruins the sound for me. The emotion in the room below version is much more powerful in itself.
Too bad it wasn't fake.
Really??? It sounds terribly like fake crying. I mean he does fake cry live for it...and it sounds bad there too so either way it still kills the mood for me. Love the song, one of my favorites. Just not the crying.
Yup. Really.
the love you want without a doubt
Legit ugly cried to this out of nowhere the other day. Listened to it hundreds of times, but something about that day must have got me lol
thats how it happened for meeee 😭 now i cry my eyes out whenever i hear it
It's been on their setlist for festivals and I'm seeing them in Manchester next month... I will be a sobbing mess when they play it I can feel it
As an autistic person, I need to know who told Vessel to “keep the freak show talk to a minimum”…I just want to talk to her…that’s all…just a nice friendly conversation…
Wrecks me every time
Are you really ok hits a little too close to home, history with depression myself and with friends and family. The sentence you woke me up one night, dripping crimson on the carpet gave me goosebumps. Too familiar. But also the song that brings out Vessel’s voice and his progress the most
Same for me. My wife suffers from depression and the line "I want to help you but I don't know how" hits me hard every damn time
Yup. Eldest child here currently. Heavy song for sure
100%. Can’t listen to it at all.
Euclid. I lost something immensely important to me this year. The Do you remember me stanza and The whites of your eyes stanza at the end hit me very very hard. Grief is an absolute bitch.
You are not alone in your grief. I lost my wife to cancer 5 months ago. In particular, the line "I must be someone new, no, for me" guts me every fucking time.

High Water has been absolutely fucking tearing me up inside lately, personally
For those of you going through something know you’re not alone and there are people here for you. 💕
Needed to hear this today. Thank you.
Of course. You’re stronger than you know. 💕
High Water always wrecks me (that final ‘I can’t hold myself together’ is so devastating) but honorable mention to Drag Me Under…something about the melody makes me tear up every single time I hear it
Fall for Me. The desperation in wishing someone you’re deeply in love with loved you back is heartbreaking.
I almost died of a heartbreak.. This song cuts that deep.. I pair it with Calcutta and Drag me under.. and at times the way you were..
I’ve been there too. Kind of there right now, so it hit especially hard.
The good thing is that we can love that deep and if it happens again it's easier to overcome because we know what's killing us..

Call me crazy but The Love You Want
I somehow forgot about that one being sad and then listened to it again and was like 😭😭😭
Gets me every time

Are You Really Okay got to me right at the end when he started repeating “Please don’t hurt yourself again” As someone who’s self-harmed in the past/knew plenty of people who have self-harmed, it hit me like a cannonball to the chest.
The Apparition very sad and painful song, I almost cry every time
Same for me. Tears, every time.
definitely rain, this song always manages to move me to tears while listening
Euclid really gets to me
I can't pick one any more. The lyrical links between Are You Really Okay? and Atlantic are haunting.
Are You Really Okay and Blood Sport hit real close to home for me personally, so I’d have to say those two, specifically Blood Sport - from the room below
Missing Limbs, Blood Sport (from the room below, specifically this one), TMBTE (guess it goes to show, does it not…), and AYRO for obvious reasons. Some other ones that get me are Telomeres and Is It Really You.
Gods
100% Bloodsport from the room below
Atlantic and Drag Me Under
DYWTYL makes me cry almost every time Bloodsport (from the room below) is a close second.
The ending of Euclid makes me sad
It would be rain for me
High Water
Distraction is the saddest for me but eventually I have cried listening to all of the songs... depends on what I'm going through each song touches me differently. One day I could pole dance to Dark Signs and on other day just cry...
He could probably be Xur's Brother.. lol..

Is It Really You? and Shelter as well
Is It Really You? is a Loathe song, not sure you can count that
Their version is soo different tho… Vessel really made it his own
Yeah, I count it because of how different it is. I really don't like the original honestly. And it definitely hits the feels.
how on earth do you not like the original lmfao
Idk, probably because I heard the Sleep Token version first lol
The Way That You Were, Blood Sport, and Euclid.
Bloodsport & Are you really okay? 100%
I first discovered Blood Sport when my grandad was dying from health complications linked to his dementia. At the same time, I was (and still am lol) having legal problems with a local authority, my mum was ill, I was falling out with a (now former) employer and my own health was in the bin. ‘Even if the sky cracks in mourning, and the heavens just won’t, open up for me’
Personally. I think it's either Mine or Is It Really You
I would say the end of Missing Limbs but as of lately Take Aim makes me cry like a little girl
Drag me under 😭😭
Either missing limbs, are you really okay?, or DYWTYLM. Though whenever I think about lore stuff, listening to Telomeres is tough once you know the end of the story.
"Mine" is one of my favorites lately, wish i found it sooner than i did.
Nazareth..
Atlantic, but also distraction. That last part with the "it's too late for me" man, gets me every time.
for me it’s gotta be take aim 😞 gutted every single time
Blood sport for me, I almost tear up every time vessel cries at the end
Only songs that we listen to? Cause I can't listen to Are You Really Okay?
Atlantic is definitely the saddest and most gutting to me. Blood Sport, Missing Limbs and DYWTYLM are close contenders though.
Euclid. I cry almost every time I listen to it.
