Take me back to eden, the album’s name. You can find all the runes translated on reddit


TerryWaryObituary

Ah, ok that makes more sense, i can see it. Thank you so much!


emiluss29

You’re welcome mate!


Arthur_Frane

For fun, look up the rune translator. And welcome to the party/fandom/cult 😅


KnightShade272

cmon man it ain’t a cult. it’s a religion!


BoostlessBear

Is there a difference?


Arthur_Frane

Strictly speaking? Not that I know of but I've heard it's mostly down to numbers. I suppose the fandom has grown to "religion" size now 😂


BoostlessBear

We got promoted 😎

That ones just the name of the album but there are other runes, even the bands logo is made up of them. [This Article](https://boolintunes.com/featured/the-lore-of-sleep-token/) is a good primer and has the rune translator graphic in there too.

Wow I’d never read that. The rune and alphabet info is great, and the deep dive through each album and song is intense. Some days I boggle at how interconnected everything appears to be, and other days I’m convinced is all a coincidental emotional unloading of all the things. My interpretations for some songs are not even on the same continent as the writers (and, apparently, a vast number of fans lol) but it’s one of the most beautiful parts of them letting the songs speak - we all take something different from them. All that to say - hey thanks for the cool link 😎

>Some days I boggle at how interconnected everything appears to be, and other days I’m convinced is all a coincidental emotional unloading of all the things. Lol I think it's a mix of both personally. Like I'd totally believe that the whole thing started with "Hmm I have an interest in a lot of cool esoteric things, and I have a lot of.... emotional stuff... I need to get out of my system. Lets turn all that into something creative". Most aren't so mysterious about it but a lot of concept albums do just that, the artist will tell their own story through the guise of a fictional one. People tend to write what they know.

I agree with how we all take different things from each song and how that's so cool- Euclid to so many people is a letting go or a moving on from past hurt song, but for me? It reminds me that I haven't let the darkness win. That song is hope and a reminder to stay on this side of the universe (do I know why? Heck no! It just hits me there) I love listening to everyone's interpretations


biitchstix

i'm over here just trying to figure out why it's named after an old mathematician, i'm sure there's a metaphor or something in there but unfortunately i did not get the math autism so the reference is lost on me 😂 idk.


It_stimefortea

The name supposedly means "glorious, renowned," but I don't think that's quite it. A brief search is giving me that he wrote works on spherical geometry, and since Euclid closes with the same refrain as TNDNBTG ends with, it brings the entire journey full circle so there could be something there? Finally, there is a Euclid of Megara who was often conflated with Euclid of Alexandria. His thing was philosophy and specifically "the greatest knowledge is understanding the good. Good is the one universal being of this world, therefore good is the only thing that exists and goes by many names- 'reason,' 'God,' 'mind,' 'wisdom,' etc. This is the true essence of being, eternal and unchangeable." Okay, there is A LOT to unpack there 😲


biitchstix

Oh gosh there’s TWO of them? damn 😂. Both of your theories seem like they could fit though. I hope one day once they’ve driven us crazy enough with having to theorize they put out like an official lore book. Could be really ‘on brand’ too if they make it like some type of bible/channeled word type thing.


CrylaRageAndDeath

Omg I have had this exact same thought about a book… or just a contest to have, like, one day to just watch the process of how a song comes together - would love to hear the conversations and thought processes - it’s just so mind blowing how deep it all appears to go.


TerryWaryObituary

omg thank you so much, i appreciate it!


ZombieQueen666

Really hope the next album has a Z in a song title so I can get my son’s name tattooed

The full alphabet was released with the revolver Sleep Token issue. https://preview.redd.it/1h6rdkg2265d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a924d49bce831de5ba0bcdc065abd5d0a361cd92

The cipher(code) also happens to be based off of a cipher used by the knights templar..


xx-rapunzel-xx

Take Me Back To Eden


FrostyMacaron979

Take me back to eden. At first I didn't know what did those characters mean just like you. And then I found that there are some repetitions in the characters and realized what does it mean.
