Escape The Fate - Cellar Door Lyrics






We walk through the doorway, heard you calling from the hall
To find you in the bedroom not breathing at all
I drag your body to the cellar where we lay,
the wax it melts away, I kiss your face...

Now we are starting to love you more
Your body's on the canvas I painted on the floor

[Chorus:]
Now you wait,
Like the drug, like the change in the pain it goes on
For so long
And oh,
How it hurts in the worst way, now that you're gone,
It's so wrong, it's so wrong....

If I could take you somewhere, I'd take you to the darkest place,
scatter you in art forms, admire the whore
beauty in different ways, your hands on picture frames
your eyes in the glass wear your face as a mask

Now they are starting to love you more
a gallery of your beauty, no charge at the door

[Chorus:]
As you wait,
Like the drug, like the change in the pain it goes on
For so long
And oh,
How it hurts in the worst way, now that you're gone,
It's so wrong, it's so wrong....

And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control your face is pale, your body's cold
And down below your veins run dry your vacant eyes
I lost control your face is pale, your body's cold
(your face is pale, your body's cold)

[Chorus:]
Wait,
Like the drug, like the change in the pain it goes on
For so long
And oh,
How it hurts in the worst way, now that you're gone,
It's so wrong, it's so wrong...

It's so wrong.....[x8]

    I'm not gonna lie. I've always liked Ronnie Radke better when he was with ETF. He had a good story telling with his lyrics and seemed more passionate in what he was doing. He's been through a lot since then and has become an asshole. But I don't hate the guy. I still listen to this album daily. "Dying is your latest fashion"

  13. T.... P....

  38. j.... t....

    december 9, 2017?

  39. s.... ....

    if i could take you somewhere, id take you to the darkest place <3

  40. J.... B....

    September 2017! still listening. just remembered my secondary days ! ☺

  41. M.... L....

    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...

  42. Z.... t....

    Who's watching in 3017

  43. L.... J....

    Aw my favorite Escape the Fate song ♡

  44. S.... L....

    so fucking depressing

  45. X.... e....

    2017!! Who is still listening to this mastepiece?

  46. E.... B....

    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

  47. S.... I....

    Still love this song. So nostalgic, and always would be

  48. S.... F....

    2017 , this takes me back to highscool so baaadd... #EmoDays

  49. N.... R....

    Why does he sound like the guy from falling in reverse

    N.... R....

    Juane Arc it's the same guy this was his first group

    N.... R....

    because it is

    N.... R....

    Ronnie was in escape the fate for their first album only

  50. g.... g....

    and they say "crawling" is the most edgy song mate xdd

  51. a.... ....

    i remember listening this back when playing runescape xD

  52. L.... ....

    still listening in 2017

  53. B.... E....

    fucking love this song

  54. D.... O....

    This deserved a music video

  55. B.... N....

    this song is about finding a dead prostitute and mutalating her body

  56. i.... m....

    and oh! how it hurts in the worst way now that you're gone

    i.... m....

    same here

  57. H.... ....

    This is still the best underrated song ever.

  58. H.... L....

    eran una buena banda.. que mal que ya no sean igual las cosas. .

  59. w.... i....

    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"

    w.... i....

    dead? yes, sexual...what

    w.... i....

    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

    w.... i....

    I dont know I could be wrong Im an addict to heroin and thats the vibe I get like if I wrote a love song to my disease it would be this... ronnie was addicted to heroin too around this time so I thought it was fitting but thats the beauty in music it can be whatever you need it to be

    w.... i....

    Trinity Sullivan YES I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT AHAHAH

    c.... l....

  67. j.... r....

    sounds like crazy artist mourning over a friend who died in their sleep... my interpretation, anyway.

  68. K.... T....

    "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...

    K.... T....

    K.... T....

    B.... A....

  77. J.... C....

    D.... ....

    +Dolls4infinity This song was on the radio? Unless it's like an online radio, i doubt it haha.

    This song i pretty deadly, I really love metal music! Thanks to my sister:)

    B.... M....

    this is not metal...it is good music tho

  82. A.... ....

    This song isn't about death or suicide it's about a dude raping a girl drugging her and dragging her then killing her

    A.... ....

    AzSureno killing is death!

  83. F.... ....

    This song is meant to be interpreted in the way you want it too,
    I don't think there's a specific meaning to this song but if there is we'll probably never know it..

    F.... ....

    I interpret as a lost love you can't let go of

  84. i.... K....

    +AlexMedina omg ur so right!

  85. i.... K....

    This song reminds me of Mitchell Adam Lucker ... :( RIP..

  86. B.... ....

    This song brings back so much memories omg !

  87. S.... S....

    Do anybody recommend any bands that are like old ETF and FIR?

    S.... S....

    +Shanaya Solomon hmmmm hands like houses shows passion in their music.... but try get scared first, they're a little heavier than hands like houses.

    S.... S....

    I saw hands like houses live and they suck ass

  88. z.... m....

    im getting necrophilia vibes from this song

  89. B.... M....

    It's crazy how ETF is literally a completely different band now.
    I think the drummer is the only original member now.

    B.... M....

    Yeah Roberts the last one.

  90. A.... S....

    This is a great song and makes me feel alive!

  91. R.... D....

  92. A.... ....

    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

    A.... ....

    Sorry about that man.

    A.... ....

    I bet you it was because of billing right? or do you not know?

    A.... ....

    +Devin Boyar I met bullying not billing

    A.... ....

    @Devin Boyar im not 100% sure, mightve been, she probably had depression as well though

    A.... ....

    Devin Boyar a lot of people have bigger shit wrong with them than bullying, bullying just makes those problems much worse

  93. x.... ....

    This song reminds me of Mitch Lucker <3 RIP

  94. p.... l....

    Life us just a dream...
    Death is when you wake up...
    Think about it, makes sense.

  95. O.... M....

    Guus i figured it out... this songs about the black dalhia "scatter you in art forms" she was decaptitated and wanted to be famous before her death..

  96. O.... M....

    This song in particular is really close to the death of Elizabeth Short "the black dalhia" i finally figured out the meaning.....

  97. a.... q....

    'cellar door' was found to be considered the most beautiful phrase in the entirebEnglish language.

    a.... q....

    you watched Donnie darko didnt yah :p

    a.... q....

    lol you know it

    a.... q....

    +AlphaSeries181 ❤

  98. K.... G....

    This song reminds me of Violet and Tate...

    K.... G....

    now that's all I can think of. never thought of it that way before but it's true

    K.... G....

    omg yes!!!! ahh the feels

  99. a.... m....

    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.
