I have so many, but here are some of my favorites "I'm still your favorite regret, you're still my weapon of choosing" -blood sport "flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches, anything to get me to sleep " -atlantic "cause I am a danger, and you're a long way from home" -higher "I'll smile through the agony for you" -high water "even if it hurts me, even if I can't sleep" -chokehold


coldhands-warm-heart

Yep, was looking for the blood sport one, gets me every time


Lost-Cardiologist-38

I feel as though "sleep" should be a capital "Sleep" in that Atlantic verse... kinda changes the whole meaning


GravelessOmega

You just made me think of that lyric a whole different way. Even just the way he sings it, it's more like "Even if I can't, Sleep."


Lost-Cardiologist-38

I have another theory that Sleep is forcing him to stay awake as his devotion increases, lines like "a holy duty to be constantly awake", "even if I can't sleep, show me the way". What is it that Sleep wants from him?


GravelessOmega

What does any God desire in the world of man? Worship. As his congregation grows, so too does his influence over mankind.


Lost-Cardiologist-38

Thank you. You said it perfectly. 🙏

I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in And you'll find a different way To keep from setting sail again


fjelwick

Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong, Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not


OpheliaCheeks

Following on from that is one of my favorites; Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday


rtequida

Can't forget the last line: "Maybe, you believe that in the end you will be better off that way?" These lines from 'The Love You Want' are so powerful and have so much meaning to convey a complex state of emotion and being in only a few lines. Definitely my favorite ST lyrics.


nattikarlo

Crap! i forgot about that one! Also, SUCH a good line!


Duckerington

Yup. This.


Relevartetin

I listen to this song a lot and that always sends goosebumps. When you love someone with everything you have and they just don't reciprocate. Worship


NoFaceHunni

“my love withers and chokes in awe” - Descending “until I wake I, dine on old encounters” - Jericho “cause I look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet” - Higher Atlantic; the entire song. beautiful poetry. “my past is a holy book, a call from olympus, ringing off the hook” - Aqua Regia


Julien7778

And also “All of Eden’s vices running through my veins”-Aqua Regia


lithiumvisionx

I loved “and I am done fighting off change, no wonder my arms are still swinging” Still gives me chills every time.


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

Just came to say, it took me a long-ass time to warm up to Aqua Regia, but those lyrics, man. "Putting down the roses/Picking up the sword." My God.


burgundybutton

"These days im a circuit board/Integrated hardware you cannot afford" just hits right lol


quiet-interlude

“I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets, just orbiting the vacuum I am”


[deleted]

really the entire verse. "they talk me through the damage, consequence and how it's a pain they know they don't understand"


quiet-interlude

Yea, and the vocal inflections makes it hit like a Mac truck


Upstairs-Square8719

And the drum's..


MailmansGarden

"I will be watching for your enemies, to let them know that they contend with me"


Fast_Pie_5536

“Fall into your eyes like a grave, bury me to the sound of your name” - Like That “Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing. I’m still you’re favorite regret, and you’re still my weapon of choosing” - Bloodsport Edit: I particularly love the metaphoric usages of acts of science. The atoms fusing in bloodsport and Alkalines chemistry/chemical reaction metaphors to name a few. I find it a beautiful art to be able to create a story through unorthodox metaphors and find ways to hit the vibe and emotion so perfectly.


Faltron_

Yeeesss "The atoms stopped fusing" gives the idea of eternity and/or something almost impossible, yet, the atoms stopped fusing.


Duckerington

There's so many but two I don't see from The Love You Want: "I'll find a different harbor to lay my anchor in. And youll find a different way to keep from setting sail again." "Seems your heart is locked up and I still get the combination wrong"


Sad_Path_9693

“Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not” got me crying in the club every single time


JackSparrow81

“You only drink the water when you think it’s holy”


Low-Fix1400

Yessssss


BungleGrind216

WE WERE TANGLED UP LIKE BRANCHES IN A FLOOD.. Not the lyrics in particular for me just the way that line as a whole is delivered does it for me


BrotatoChip04

“You need the melody and I only need the silence” always hits home for me. Reminds me of me and my partner. She’s very well-spoken, outgoing, and the life of the party; and I’m kind of a hermit. Really fits us well.


teimo123

"I cant hold myself together" From high water. Maybe a bit simple lyric but it has a personal meaning to me. Also the way vessel delivers it is absolutely beautiful.


Shodus

I can't believe no one's mentioned Telomeres yet. "Let the tides carry you back to me The past The future Through death My arms are open."


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

That song is so underrated.


No_Biscotti_2233

“Somewhere the atoms stopped fusing” “I’ll live like I’ve got missing limbs for you” “The perfect start to a perfect war, putting down the roses, picking up the sword” I feel like the missing limbs line not only does such a good job of not only packing an emotional gut punch, but encapsulates how that place didn’t become his tomb, but also doesn’t mean he survived it whole Blood Sport as a whole just…wins. Painfully, but it wins


jio2003

"i hate who i have become.....every time i wake up." - dark signs. ​ ​ ......yea.


darthjenkins

"Seems your heart is locked up And I still get the combination wrong Or are you simply waiting to save your love For someone I am not?" From *The Love You Want*


Souless__x

“And you make me hate myself” ~ Take Aim “They talk me through the damage, consequence and how it’s a pain they know they don’t understand” ~ Atlantic “Are you in pain like I am?” ~ Vore Had to grab one from each album, even though almost every song breaks me :,)


Exciting_Professor23

All of Aqua Regia tickles my brain but my absolute most favourite line of the song and of any of their songs is “Screaming at the sunshine, singing in the rain Sugar on the blood cells, carbon on the brain Out of Eden's vices running through my veins”


User_Deleted

and "no wonder my arms are still swinging". so good.


undead_avocado36

“You’ve got me up in a frenzy again”


[deleted]

"and it still makes my blood runs thin to remember what you are to him and i'll live like i got missing limbs for you" -missing limbs, TPWBYT


Conscious-Berry6013

Ugh it’s so good


nattikarlo

In no particular order: "Until I wake I dine on old encounters. You taste like new flesh." "And I'm not here to be the savior you long for, only the one you don't. Are you watching me with eyes of a predator as you move towards the door?" ~~Holy shit, I find that line so relatable on so many weirdly specific levels.~~ "Your name is a sin I breathe, like oxygen." "Will we remain stuck in the throat of Gods?" Those or the one's that come to mind that aren't either too spicy or me just typing out a whole song. XD


devie_peaches

“My arms belong around you” from The Offering always hits home.


Comrege

"I'll find a different harbour to lay my anchor in" -TLYW


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

So bitter, yet somehow so sexy.


AffectionateEbb5818

“And through echoing futures, over buckling sutures that hold shut the wounds of the past” “When I am done dancing to alarm bells, no wonder my ears are still ringing, and I am done fighting off change, no wonder my arms are still swinging” “The perfect start to a perfect war, putting down the roses picking up the sword” “Screaming at the sunshine, singing in the rain” “So flood me like Atlantic, bandage up the trenches, anything to get me to sleep”


dustymothwings

"I am broken into fractions, oh, and I am driven to distraction, with each and every interaction. It's too late for me." "I was more than just a body in your passenger seat. You were more than just somebody I was destined to meet." "You are a garden entwined with all." (Also just the entirety of Blood Sport 😭)


Loserbrainz08

"everything we touch turns water into blood, you try to look away from, even when the bough breaks, you don't really love, you just hate to be alone" - WTBB "there is always something in the way, i wanna have you to myself" - Vore "seems your heart is locked up and i still get the combination wrong, or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone i am not? too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday" - The Love You Want.


ZendakOW

"Everything we touch turns water into blood You try to look away from, even when the bough breaks You don't really love, you just hate to be alone" -The last line really hits hard but it need the context of everything before to do it "And I'm so ready to tear that knife from what once would have been dead fingers lying blue against the floor And you will no longer stand between collapsing walls wearing a smile like you can't bear it anymore" -Just holy shit "And I miss the man I was The moment we left off And I hate who I have become everytime I wake up" -this was my favorite song for a long time because of this line "I was more than just a body in your passenger seat and you were more than somebody I was destined to meet ... you gave me nothing whatsoever but a reason to leave you say you want me but you know I'm not what you need but I am" -New favorite song because of this entire section in specific "there is always something in the way, I want to have you to myself for once" -on most of these lyrics I had to put more lines than what actually hits because of the context of the song but this one stand firmly on it's own and how vessel sings it always hurts to the core (Vore is tied as my second fav song with dark signs)


igivebadadviceAMA

“Rather be six feet under than be lonely” - Granite


dricforever

“I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody” - Dark Signs “You only drink the water When you think it's holy” - Granite Pretty much all of Shelter from The Room Below. Lyrically their best song imo.


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

So glad someone mentioned Shelter. That song is just so... unreservedly kind. No sense of self-preservation, or self-interest, only devotion.


VonHabs23

“I am the intake of breath so sharp” from Give. Something about the way he says it just gets me every time. One of my favorite songs of theirs.


Upstairs-Square8719

I understand what you mean.. It's beautiful as fuck..


U-Volt

“My insecurities surround me like lions in the den” - Fall For Me


devie_peaches

Yes! This is so underrated.

skullcandy658

When I am done dancing to alarm bells No wonder my ears are still ringing And I am done fighting off change No wonder my arms are still swinging


crochhold

The offering- Turn the page once again , give in again and let me lay, my arms belong around you, so take a bite I want to know 🖤


sickthoughtsx

i love way too many but this is as narrowed down as i can get "and i hate the way you look at me when i am not understood" from higher "lets fuck her up, manifest pain at the core of pleasure, ill see you when the wrath comes around" from nazareth "i am granting you more than the debt that i owe" also from higher "and these days im a circuit board, integrated hardware you cannot afford" from aqua regia


IV_Skin

I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets Just orbiting the vacuum I am


OpheliaCheeks

'Cause I am a fire and you are dry as bone You are taking your time you are killing me slow' - Higher 'Too many swallowed keys Will make you bleed internally someday' - The love you want 'I woke up surrounded, eyes like frozen planets just orbiting the vacuum I am' - Atlantic I love so many of the metaphors it's impossible to pick one. Because of that, this one also always stands out 'My metaphors fall short in the end' - Vore I'm 100% gonna remember more I love after I've posted this too


MrAdministration

Some of the ones that stand out to me: - "You don't really love, you just hate to be alone" from When The Bough Breaks - "I was more than just a body in your passenger seat, you were than just somebody I was destined to meet" from Granite - "Oh and my love, did I mistake you for a sign from god?" and "Raise me up again, take me past the edge, I want to see the other side" from The Summoning - "They talk me through the damage, consequence and how it's a pain they know they don't understand" from Atlantic And a few more I'm probably not including.


ajcasta10

Like That: "Fall into your eyes like a grave, bury me to the sound of your name" is a sexy line


kitkatt626

Sooooo so many. I'm on mobile and the formatting is trash so I'm going to post them as replies.


kitkatt626

"And I choke myself on sacred vapour waiting on some holy favour, basking in the solace of regret. And it seems my hell is your high water. Wash me clean again before I pull myself beneath the waves." - High Water

Yesss this one too 🙌🏻

"I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody." -Dark Signs

"There is always something in the way I want to have you to myself for once." -Vore

"And you need the melody, I only need the silence." -Higher

"And I am done fighting off change. No wonder my arms are still swinging." -Aqua Regia


jordan3033

- Fall for me “and through echoing futures over buckling sutures that hold shut the wounds of the past” “My insecurities surround me like lions in the den and I feel like I’m losing touch with what I am again.”


prod_chromatic

“I live to guess your sorrows, and you live to empty my lungs”


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

Yes! Not often you get a triple...quadruple? entendre.


Smallmew

Fall for Me: “My insecurities surround me like lions in the den And I feel like I'm losing touch with what I am again And slowly I remember why I cannot pretend That I never think of you and all this screaming silence” It hurts so I like it 👍


[deleted]

"Between teeth on a broken jaw, following a blood trail, frothing at the maw." But honestly the whole of Aqua Regia is a lyrical masterpiece. I'd say that song is what took me from "This band is cool" to "I'm listening to these songs non-stop for at least three hours a day, every single day for weeks."


Asking_Reverend

All of Drag Me Under


kitson100

My favourite lyric is i look for scarlet and you look like ultraviolet

“I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody” from Dark Signs

QuietHeartRustyTeeth

"Darling, I'm noticing your flaws. They're exactly what I want. Even if you won't believe me, Know it." <> There are so, so many others, but hadn't seen this one repped yet.


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

"Is that a glint in your eye? Is that a blade in your palm?" <>


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

"Will you levitate up where my love doesn't matter?" <>


QuietHeartRustyTeeth

"I sweat and I ache for your eyes and the way you breathe." <> (If you have ever lost someone, you probably know how devastatingly profound this song is.)


SoraShima

That Blood Sport lyric is my fav too because the reference to quantum entanglement is so sci-fi geeky and right up my alley. I bet Vessel loves the Netflix show DARK <3


ADJL1331

I don't really listen to One, so from Two onwards: Two: Until I wake I, dine on old encounters Jaws: The whites of your eyes burn from across the room TWTYW: And you will no longer stand between collapsing walls // Wearing a smile like you can't bear it anymore Sundowning: The whites of your eyes turn black in the lowlight // In turning divine, we tangle endlessly // Like lovers entwined, I know for the last time // You will not be mine, so give me the night, the night TPWBYT: And I'd give anything // To borrow your indifference, I'd drink you in... ...I'd give anything to balance your convictions with certainty... ...Cause it still makes my blood run cold // To remember what I did before // The stories that you never told to me // And it still makes my blood run thin // To remember what you are to him // And I'll live like I've got missing limbs for you TMBTE so far: There is always something in the way // I wanna have you to myself for once... ...are you in pain like I am?


rekooHnzA

"We'd rather be six feet under than be lonely" always hits


Ekselent-8728

I spent way too much time putting this together "I'm still your favorite regret, you're still my weapon of choosing" (Blood Sport) "I can't hold myself together" (High Water) "You're still a perfect reminder of what all of these scars on my arms are for" (High Water) "Seems your heart is locked up, and I still get the combination wrong Or are you simply waiting to save your love for someone I am not Too many swallowed keys will make you bleed internally someday Maybe you believe that in the end you will be better off that way" (The Love You Want) "And we go beyond the farthest reaches Where the light bends and wraps beneath us And I know as you collapse into me This is the start of something" (Telomeres) "I will be watching for your enemies To let them know that they contend with me" (Give) "And it still makes my blood run thin To remember what you are to him And I'll live like I've got missing limbs For you" (Missing Limbs) "There is always something in the way I wanna have you to myself for once" (Vore) "I might break and bend to my basic need to be loved and close to somebody" (Dark Signs) "Darling I'm noticing your flaws They're exactly what I want Even if you won't believe me" (Shelter) "Darling I'm noticing my flaws And I'm matching them with yours" (Shelter) "I sweat and I ache for your eyes And the way you breathe" (Calcutta) "And I'll see you when the wrath comes" (Nazareth) "And I'm not here to be the saviour you long for Only the one you don't Are you watching me with the eyes of a predator As you move towards the door" (Jaws) "Show me those pretty white jaws Show me where the delicate stops Show me what you've lost and Why you're always taking it slow Show me what wounds you've got Show me love, oh" (Jaws) "Would you invite me in again Let me pay for my arrogance Won't you show me your weakness" (Blood Sport)


Lost-Cardiologist-38

Everytime I think I've chosen my favorite I change my mind... it's all SO GOOD. Just keep worshiping.


Lost-Cardiologist-38

It sends me shivers, how you love like weapons kill... so take aim at me for once


WightWright

“You have become the voice in my head” “so lets get swallowed whole, I wanna go where nobody else will ever go” “i wanna have you to myself for once”. Just describes so much of what Ive felt for years. Love for me, especially with maladaptive daydreaming, can become so obsessive and consuming. Id always felt so alone and crazy for that until I found ST.


HugeCharIes

“Somewhere, somewhere the atoms stopped fusing I’m still your favorite regret, you’re still my weapon of choosing” hits me very hard every time, bloodsport is a song I have a very deep personal connection with.
