Sleep Token aborda ansiedade e depressão em nova música, "Damocles". Ouça com letra e tradução
Este é o terceiro single do próximo álbum da banda, "Even In Arcadia"

A banda britânica Sleep Token lançou, nesta sexta-feira (25), o seu mais recente single, "Damocles", terceira faixa divulgada do aguardado álbum, "Even in Arcadia", com lançamento previsto para 9 de maio pela RCA Records.
A nova canção sucede os singles "Emergence" e "Caramel".
"Damocles" dá continuidade, de certa forma, às mensagens trazidas na letra do single anterior, "Caramel".
O vocalista Vessels mergulha em temas de ansiedade e pressão decorrentes da fama, utilizando a metáfora da espada de Dâmocles para ilustrar o constante temor que acompanha o sucesso.
A letra expressa a sua luta interna, com versos como: "Tenho acordado sob lâminas, em dias de flores azuis" e "Quem eu serei quando o império cair?", refletindo sobre a efemeridade da fama e a busca por identidade, além do estrelato.
Combinando elementos de metal progressivo, ambient e pop alternativo, "Damocles" reforça a habilidade do Sleep Token em transitar por diferentes gêneros musicais, mantendo uma identidade única. A faixa ja está disponÃvel nas principais plataformas de streaming.

"Damocles"
Well, I've been waking up under blades, blue blossom days
If only Damocles would hit me back
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
Would prevent my head from fading to black
And it feels like falling into the sea
From outer space in seconds to me
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until they look like harmony
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone
And who will I be when th? empire falls?
Wake up alon? and I'll be forgotten
Well, I know I should be touring
I know these chords are boring
But I can't always be killing the game
No golden grand pianos or voices
from the shadows will do anythin' but feel the same
And it feels like falling into the deep
From somewhere way up over the peaks
And I play discordant days on repeat
Until the tape runs out on me
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Come up for air and choke on it all
No one else knows that I've got a problem
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
What if the diamond days are all gone
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
