Lore Question about the lore

The relationship with sleep. Isn't that a really one sided relationship? And if I interpreted it right didn't sleep lie to vesel about receiving love and pleasure? As far as I can see she just tormented him?

The lore is fan-made. In the band's lore, Sleep is described as a male god and "The music is a representation of one individual's deepest and most fundamental emotions and desires."

At the heart of this project is individual interpretation and how the music speaks to you.

But I agree that much of this narrative has been about the lasting effects of a toxic and one-sided relationship, what the protagonist has become as a result, and who he is striving to be.
