Just so everyone knows this song isn't about a serial killer really its about a guys girlfriend killing herself and how he's trying to remember her and how upset he is that she is dead
Dying is your latest fashion is based on death, in all sorts of ways! Cellar door is about death, Not good enough for the truth in cliché is about death, Dragging dead bodies in blue bags up really long hills is about death even though it was on a different record it's in a way related to DIYLF, there's no sympathy for the dead, Reverse this curse talks about a funeral, Situations talks about a girl who rocks the style of dying, which means she must be dead to him! and she's rocking that style so very well! when I go out I want to go out on a chariot of fire talks about a girl who dies as well, this album was mainly about love, but Ronnie doesn't describe his love in the generic romantic way! he describes it through darkness and bitter pain so we can feel the inside of his heart and how its tearing up so we can see how much these situations really meant to him. Cellar door is not meant to be taken literally, it's a made up story, all of his songs refer to death in a metaphorical way but any way, cellar door is about a girl, and his girl is a girl whom he loved so much and he was so in love with her but in this story she dies of an unknown reason, most likely a drug over dose, but he finds her and drags her body to the cellar, which is the darkest pace, (his heart) is the darkest place, which he talks about in "reverse this curse" (and to the girl, that filled my dark) well he lays her out on a canvas and kisses her, because he loved her, and now she's melting because despite the fact that he loved her she wasn't true, she was fake, full of lies and deceit, he also says he would scatter her in art forms, and admire her, he's being sarcastic, because he's also insulting her by calling her a whore which means she slept around and that means it broke his heart cause he loved her, and now the people who she slept with are starting to love her more! because they are a bunch of guys who got their hearts broken by her, and they love her better now that shes dead. her eyes in the glass means her face is in a portrait on the wall, for every body to see it free of charge, and if you watch Scooby doo, you've seen how villians always hide behind paintings and use other peoples faces as a mask to hide behind, well that's what he's referring to, not Scooby doo but by wearing her face as a mask. and the chorus is simply a basic way of saying that she's dead in a coffin awaiting her judgment by God, like the drug like the change in the pain,it goes on for so long, is just a metaphor for how long she will be down there, how long it takes to get the drug out of your system, to get rid of the addiction, and how long it takes to get over the pain. THE END. because too many people misinterpret this song so bad.
and Ronnie told you this himself? Olivia Moungaloa also this song does not take place at a park in La, it takes place in a cellar...& Ronnie isn't a murder in this song, and no where in this song does it speak of her being sliced in half. she's just found dead moments after she was yelling from the hallway, obviously a drug overdose or heart attack or whatever but not a murder.
I honestly don't think this song is as literal as everyone is taking it. It is a beautiful song though, there's just something about it, I can't explain it. It's a song that's ALWAYS stuck with me.
This is absolutely my fav song of escape the fate, I swear I always wanna come back. ~ < 3 So much bad memories ugh.... but the song bring it on a very beautiful way : )
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WONDERING: The song meaning is that (The Band old etf) walked into the doorway then they heard ronnies girlfriend screaming from the hall and found her in the bedroom dead. The then dragged her to the cellar (HENSE THE SONG NAME) and they put candles around her the wax melted and he kissed her, the sad thing is it was on a true story and the begining of the song is: We walk through the doorway heard you calling from the hall(heard her screaming) and so on look the lyrics
Someone once told me this song reminded them of me. 4 years too late I finally understood the message. I feel like I've being blind my entire life. always knew this song. since before all of that. jesus. eyes wide shut.
I don't think ETF will ever be as good as they were with Ronnie.. He's got a voice that can't be replaced and a style of writting that can't be matched!
at first when I heard this song I thought it meant a girl died and someone close found her and is dealing with the loss as others around him start to see the good in her, and appreciate her more. I the part when he say, "If I could take you somewhere ect." I imagined him taking pictures and keepsakes down into the cellar and making a shrine to her, making paintings, photo collages and various art forms. I also imagined at one point the girl as a ghost seeing the shrine, examining it and weeping. she then sees him laying on the ground, a tear on his cheek as he is fast asleep. She then laid down next to him and petted his head. the moment his eyes flickered open, she disappeared. I also thought at another point that the girl might have been bullied and after her death the loved one sees that the ones who bullied her were ashamed of them selves and paid their respects for her forgiveness, yet even in death, waiting, she still goes through memories of pain. Now yes I know it's all about heroine but this is still a pretty good guess~
Daniel Heard Don't have high expectations for this album because if you do, you could be disappointed. Basically what i'm saying is have low expectation and that way, if it's really good, you'll get a good surprise. But yeah I'm really worried about how consistent this album will be. Especially if it's a sequel to DIYLF. I don't know what you've heard about this 3rd album but i know that it's really heavy in some parts with screams, it's very progressive and it's got a 90's rock feel to it? :)
julio santiago Yeah...so far. Have you seen the Rocksound review of each song for the new album yet? They've already listened to it and some guy from it tells us what each songs sounds like...?
I haven't listened to this since I was in 10th grade maybe, and I completely forgot it existed. But hearing it again, I'm obsessed with it just as much as I was when I first heard it
Daniel, basically this song got me into Escape the Fate and metal slowly grew on me. And eventually it kept getting heavier and heavier until I listened to deathmetal!
"And oh, how it hurts in the worst way, now that you're gone... It's so wrong." This...made me cry because I have a friend that will leave me eventually to move on with her life. I love her... but one day, I'll have to say goodbye...
Trinity Sullivan the song is about the ritual involved with death and rebirth and each time you are reborn you come back as a 'better you' "now they/we are starting to love you more, your body is on the canvas I painted on the floor" as in another cycle added to the death and rebirth, and by canvas he is referring to a ritual circle drawn on the floor where the body is. "your face is pale your body's cold, and down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes" talking about the soul being tortured in hell for eternity "as you wait, like the drug like the change in the pain it goes on, for so long". and even about possession by the rebirthed soul "your eyes in the glass, wear your face as a mask. now we are starting to love you more" see the infinite loop in the lyrics? People call this death magic and it's the core of satanic practices.
PapaBearRaver420 huh I didn't get the death and rebirth thing at all, necrophilia actual sounds a lot closer. The way I perceived the song is a serial killer and the way he sees the woman who is his victim. who knows though maybe I'm just a sick fuck haha.
I always thought it was about being an addict... Your hands on picture frames your eyes in the glass wears your face as a mask..... Now they are starting to love you more... like doing lines you know seeing your reflection but know thats not really you its just the addict in you.... and becoming addicted you truly start to love your disease. Plus painted eyes is a term for having dialated eyes for getting high
Recently been revisiting all the emo songs my partner and I used to listen to when we first got together back in college. Most of them this band! I forgot how great this song is after not listening to it for years! 😍😍
i think its saying we fell in love by saying walking through door way, like they opened up to eachother, he heard her calling from the hall, i think this is more literal like she was cheating on him n u could hear her, cuz then he opens the door and shes dead, i think he means more like she died in his mind right there, and dragged her to the darkest place which would now be the empty space where his heart used to be and she caused it so thats why he put her there, sayin where his heart used to be will now only be a dark memory of how shes dead to him, the painting on the canvass is the scar of her memory left there now...
So i had this genius old lady tutor growing up (was a Mensa member). In freshman year of high school i was assigned to write a paper about a song and i chose this one of course and she helped me write it. My teacher and my tutor probably thought i was a f*ckin lunatic but this song just KICKS. Wish i still had that paper lol
To me it describes elizabeth shorts death because she wanted to be famous then her body was put up on display as an art form.. im hoping people notice that this song is about her death
I know its an old song but i was just shown it not to long ago. My interpretation is that there is always that 1 person that your death effects the most but with everyone else they only care after you die. You see it all over social media after someone passes away. People only care when youre gone.
This is still the best underrated song ever.
@Everythings Eventual Definitely underrated. It doesn’t have 100 million views does it?
Cellar Door... the most beautiful combination of words...
Karen Pommeroy: This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that "cellar door" is the most beautiful.
Donnie Darko!!
it's 2016 & I'm still listening to this. songs like 10 years old & brings back so many memories. I'll always remember my emo days. Keep this alive!
colbyn lopez I can not relate because I'm 12 I just really like music from the early 2000's
colbyn lopez here....I was looking at mitches death and I played Ronnie's song(ToT)
colbyn lopez same!!! I used to be obsessed with them and went through an emo phase when I was in high school.
colbyn lopez too true xD
Same here bro
Almost ten years later trying to keep it alive.
jesus this takes me back to my emo phase in middle school. i kind of credit this song with starting it.
Hahahahaha
After still listening to this, all these years it still brings tears to my eyes and shivers up my spine. This song will always hold dear in my heart
Just so everyone knows this song isn't about a serial killer really its about a guys girlfriend killing herself and how he's trying to remember her and how upset he is that she is dead
itsabout him .. his exgirlfriend killed herself, and he was to blame.. ronnie.. soo he wrote this song. very creepy lyrics. one of my favs
It's about his gf
I know you messaged 5 years ago lol but just wondering did he kill her?
i thought this was about his mom
@@bagelhamsalad7624 no
It's crazy how ETF is literally a completely different band now.
I think the drummer is the only original member now.
Yeah Roberts the last one.
One of the greatest tracks out there. Ronnie is one of the greatest vocalists too!
I love the feel of this song, the eeriness in the verses and the way the chorus explodes with those 3rd harmonies, firing on all cylinders

THE END.
because too many people misinterpret this song so bad.
Thank you for explaining. Lol
Was confused..
you're welcome :) wait...were you being sarcastic?
I found out this song is about elizabeth short and not about a gf....mind blown LOL im freaking out over here
I think you are so right you are really smart not being sarcastic you preech it 🙌
and Ronnie told you this himself? Olivia Moungaloa also this song does not take place at a park in La, it takes place in a cellar...& Ronnie isn't a murder in this song, and no where in this song does it speak of her being sliced in half. she's just found dead moments after she was yelling from the hallway, obviously a drug overdose or heart attack or whatever but not a murder.
I remember being 11 and listening to this on the way to school. I don't listen to this type of music anymore but i'll always love this song.
I honestly don't think this song is as literal as everyone is taking it. It is a beautiful song though, there's just something about it, I can't explain it. It's a song that's ALWAYS stuck with me.
It's about his heroine addiction, you can pick out so many addiction and heroine references in this song it's absurd xD.
This is absolutely my fav song of escape the fate, I swear I always wanna come back. ~ < 3
So much bad memories ugh.... but the song bring it on a very beautiful way : )
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WONDERING: The song meaning is that (The Band old etf) walked into the doorway then they heard ronnies girlfriend screaming from the hall and found her in the bedroom dead. The then dragged her to the cellar (HENSE THE SONG NAME) and they put candles around her the wax melted and he kissed her, the sad thing is it was on a true story and the begining of the song is: We walk through the doorway heard you calling from the hall(heard her screaming) and so on look the lyrics
Brandon Auchterlonie are you fucking stupid get the news correct please
and where did you get that. cant find anything about that being the meaning
Someone once told me this song reminded them of me. 4 years too late I finally understood the message. I feel like I've being blind my entire life. always knew this song. since before all of that. jesus. eyes wide shut.
This deserved a music video
its 2018 and this is still my favorite song. i literally use to play this on repeat on my radio when i had the cd. and i could still do the same
the lyrics are beautifully dark and emotional
same ;-;
I’m new here to this song & not disappointed at all! ♥️✨
I don't think ETF will ever be as good as they were with Ronnie.. He's got a voice that can't be replaced and a style of writting that can't be matched!
Still jamming in 2018
at first when I heard this song I thought it meant a girl died and someone close found her and is dealing with the loss as others around him start to see the good in her, and appreciate her more.

'cellar door' was found to be considered the most beautiful phrase in the entirebEnglish language.
you watched Donnie darko didnt yah :p
lol you know it
+AlphaSeries181 ❤
Cellar door is the most beautiful combination of words in the English language, look it up, I'm referring to donnie darko of course
I revisited this song after not listening to it for years because I watched Donnie Darko last weekend 😂
Donnie Darko...it melts my brain
BRING THIS RONNIE BACK!
ronnie is actually making a new album based off of this one. soooo get excited.
Daniel Heard Don't have high expectations for this album because if you do, you could be disappointed. Basically what i'm saying is have low expectation and that way, if it's really good, you'll get a good surprise. But yeah I'm really worried about how consistent this album will be.

I don't know what you've heard about this 3rd album but i know that it's really heavy in some parts with screams, it's very progressive and it's got a 90's rock feel to it? :)
BounceTo TheBeat so far its good
julio santiago Yeah...so far. Have you seen the Rocksound review of each song for the new album yet? They've already listened to it and some guy from it tells us what each songs sounds like...?
No i haven't read that rocksound yet
I haven't listened to this since I was in 10th grade maybe, and I completely forgot it existed. But hearing it again, I'm obsessed with it just as much as I was when I first heard it
Ugh I miss this phase of my life. It was nothing but good times and memories
Everytime I hear this song I get very sad... :( It's such a wonderful song!
This has always been one of my favorite songs by them. Love his voice :)
I think it's just about "Cellar Door" being the "most beautiful" phrase in the English language.... because this song is just BEAUTIFUL
The nostalgia is killing me. I remember my brother listening to this when I was 10 years old!
did anything happened to him? :o :(
Listened to this in 2012-2014 and I'm still listening to this in 2024.
This song was the first song that got me into metal. Holy throwback! Now I listen to deathmetal lol
Ryan Drozda Falling In Reverse are playing on their tour right now. All of Dying Is Your Latest Fashion
Daniel, basically this song got me into Escape the Fate and metal slowly grew on me. And eventually it kept getting heavier and heavier until I listened to deathmetal!
***** me neither
Same here! Haha
man im into deathmetal deathcore and a little slam but this song is so good i cant help but listen to it
Its November 29th 2021 and this song is still a banger
"And oh, how it hurts in the worst way, now that you're gone... It's so wrong."
This...made me cry because I have a friend that will leave me eventually to move on with her life. I love her... but one day, I'll have to say goodbye...
PIG- BOI666 hahaha!! Sorry but this is fucking funny!
PIG- BOI666 mine's still there lol😂
This song is so tragically beautiful
This has been my comfort song lately
everyone's comments are either deep or sad and im just here thinking "is it just me or dose this song kinda sound like necrophilia at times"
Trinity Sullivan it's funny he's talking about death And rebirth.
Trinity Sullivan the song is about the ritual involved with death and rebirth and each time you are reborn you come back as a 'better you' "now they/we are starting to love you more, your body is on the canvas I painted on the floor" as in another cycle added to the death and rebirth, and by canvas he is referring to a ritual circle drawn on the floor where the body is.

dead? yes, sexual...what
I always thought it was about being an addict... Your hands on picture frames your eyes in the glass wears your face as a mask..... Now they are starting to love you more... like doing lines you know seeing your reflection but know thats not really you its just the addict in you.... and becoming addicted you truly start to love your disease. Plus painted eyes is a term for having dialated eyes for getting high
a girl at my school posted this on fb just before she committed suicide in 2011, i cant think of anything else when i hear it
Damn
Sorry about that man.
I bet you it was because of billing right? or do you not know?
+Devin Boyar I met bullying not billing
Devin Boyar im not 100% sure, mightve been, she probably had depression as well though
This song reminds me of Mitch Lucker
I can’t with this memory lane
2023 still play this song ... ahhhh
Where are my 2018's???
This song was just added to my "I'm a vampire" playlist. Because you know, that's a totally normal playlist to have :P

Recently been revisiting all the emo songs my partner and I used to listen to when we first got together back in college. Most of them this band! I forgot how great this song is after not listening to it for years! 😍😍
This song reminds me of Violet and Tate...
now that's all I can think of. never thought of it that way before but it's true
damnnnnnnnnn facts!
i think its saying we fell in love by saying walking through door way, like they opened up to eachother, he heard her calling from the hall, i think this is more literal like she was cheating on him n u could hear her, cuz then he opens the door and shes dead, i think he means more like she died in his mind right there, and dragged her to the darkest place which would now be the empty space where his heart used to be and she caused it so thats why he put her there, sayin where his heart used to be will now only be a dark memory of how shes dead to him, the painting on the canvass is the scar of her memory left there now...
This reminds me of Alex. I miss you, sweetheart. RIP. -3
2024 still a banger
This song is too awesome.. I love it so much. It makes me feel great while making me sad at the same time.

I remember scoring some smack and coming home and putting this song on as I faded away.... sad but warm memories all the still
fucking love this song
So i had this genius old lady tutor growing up (was a Mensa member). In freshman year of high school i was assigned to write a paper about a song and i chose this one of course and she helped me write it. My teacher and my tutor probably thought i was a f*ckin lunatic but this song just KICKS. Wish i still had that paper lol
2020 who’s with me??
This song is pure perfection
Gosh how I miss the old Escape the fate....But I also love falling in reverse
Listening to this in 2018 💔
ronnie is the most rare vocalist... he can make the band famous in just a short time period
2020 and still crankin!
I found this song on the radio, I think it's my new favorite song to be honest it's so good though!
+Dolls4infinity This song was on the radio? Unless it's like an online radio, i doubt it haha.
+Dolls4infinity The *Phan*Dom Is Everywhere.
+Smithysmithin I can believe it if it was a rock station or something
Aw my favorite Escape the Fate song ♡
Some songs on this album are really quite beautiful. Like this one, for example.
reminds me of my sceney weeny days! Lol so nostalic
This song is perfect for the book " The Cellar "
This song makes me cry
this song makes me wanna cry. . . its so sad
The pain goes on for so fuckin long
To me this song describes a serial killers perspective of his actions towards his victims.
Kinda reminds me of leaherface in one of the parts
To me it describes elizabeth shorts death because she wanted to be famous then her body was put up on display as an art form.. im hoping people notice that this song is about her death
It's 2018 and this song still amazing
I really looove that song sooo much.
I know its an old song but i was just shown it not to long ago. My interpretation is that there is always that 1 person that your death effects the most but with everyone else they only care after you die. You see it all over social media after someone passes away. People only care when youre gone.
Reminds me of my emo middle school years. Still a favorite of mine!
Whose here with me in 2019?
still listening in 2017
This song is amazing and breath taking.
Man do I miss this Ronnie
this song is amazing dood good job on the lyrics
