Emergence Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you were laid inverse
Living on a promised word
Well, I am the rose you relinquished again
You and I are down headfirst
In another world I heard
Oh, I have a feeling we’re close to the end
[Chorus]
So, come on, come on
Out from underneath, who you were
Come on, come on now
You know that it’s time to emerge
[Interlude]
So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yеah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around mе, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (Huh, woo)
[Verse 2]
Are you carbide on my nano, red glass on my lightbulb
Dark light on my culture, sapphire on my white gold
Burst out of my chest and hide out in the vents
My blood beats so alive
Might bite right through your lens
It’s midnight in my mind’s eye, drowning out the daylight
Godspeed to my enemies who be askin’ for that co-sign
You know the behaviour, canines of the saviour
Glory to the legion, trauma for the neighbours

[Interlude]
So go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me, yeah
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (Huh, woo)
[Verse 3]
I’ve got solar flares for your dead gods, space dust for your fuel rods
Dark days for your Solstice, dancin’ through the depths of
Hellfire, on the winds that started from within
My blood beats so alive, might tear right through my skin
So, tell me what you meant by “living past your half-life”
In lockstep with the universe, and you’re well-versed in the afterlife
You know that I’m sanctified by what’s below
No matter what you do, no matter where you go
[Bridge]
You might be the one to take away the pain
And let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I’m at your side
[Chorus]
Come on, come on
Out from underneath who you were
Come on, come on now
You know that it’s time to emerge
[Interlude]
Go ahead and wrap your arms around me
Arms around me, arms around me (Huh, woo)
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
And you might be the one to take away the pain
And let my mind go quiet
And nothing else is quite the same as how I feel when I’m at your side
[Instrumental Outro]
About “Emergence”
“Emergence” is the lead single from Sleep Token’s 2025 album Even in Arcadia, showcasing the band’s evolution into a more experimental and genre-blending sound. The six-and-a-half-minute track opens with ethereal piano and soulful vocals, gradually building into a dynamic fusion of trap-pop rhythms, downtuned metal riffs, and a surprising jazz saxophone outro. Lyrically, it explores themes of transformation and rebirth, urging the listener to shed old identities and embrace change. The song’s structure mirrors this journey, transitioning through various musical styles to create a sense of emotional and sonic emergence. Upon release, “Emergence” received positive reviews for its bold experimentation and became Sleep Token’s first song to chart on the UK Singles Chart and the Billboard Hot 100, marking a significant milestone in their career.
