// LYRICS //
So we built the mountain
By digging an almighty hole
And on our backs we carried every rock and stone
But now the hole is deeper
Than anybody ever planned
And we’re blocking out the sun
I believe in life and terror
You believe in killing time
By the fingertips I’m hanging on
Sorry Satan
But I can’t do this evil on my own
I haven't left the house in nearly 30 thousand
Days I sent you
The image of a little yellow face
To tell you that I’m sad about the emptiness that’s
All around me
And I can't stop the ringing in your ears
When everything we love becomes a picture of a
Simulation
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb but I’ve become a
Cold reactor
So dark the supermarket
Some of us stayed in the pit
Because it felt so comfortable to dwell below
We made the mountain bigger
Though we had forgotten why
It’s a dream I’m in with you
In the night the sword is hanging
Far above the head of man
Can you see the steel is glittering?
Sorry Satan
But I can’t do this evil on my own
I haven't left the house in nearly 30 thousand
Days I sent you
The image of a little yellow face
To tell you that i’m sad about the emptiness that’s
All around me
And I can't stop the ringing in your ears
When everything we love becomes a picture of a
Simulation
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb but I’ve become a
Cold reactor
And maybe I’ll go missing in the rain
If god is in the mountain he won’t answer me a
Single question
Like “why does everybody feel the same?”
The slow degeneration and the crying out Oh
Lord have mercy
Just look into my jet-electric eyes
And see a blue reflection of a world inside a
Black dimension
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb but I’ve become a
Cold reactor
Now you’re gonna see what’s underneath
I’m sorry Satan
And I can't stop the ringing in your ears
When everything we love becomes a picture of a
Simulation
It wakes me in the middle of the night
I love you like an atom bomb but I’ve become a
Cold reactor

[@Grimmtombobulus]

It's incredible. Seriously well done all involved. Also, please add more tour dates 😫 I need to experience this album live with my fellow Kevins and Creddahorni'

[@stiggy9204]

✌️✌️✌️✌️ makes the hairs on my neck stand up EVERYTIME I LISTEN TO IT!!! What a fkin tune✌️✌️!!!!

[@tompinegar]

Still absolutely love this tune

[@okok...ok.]

WE MAKIN IT OUT THE MOUNTAIN WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[@KyunaCookies]

We making it out of the almighty big hole

[@diegosaavedra3267]

We gonna stop carrying every rock and stone with this one 🪨🚫

[@radringtail]

The subtle ferocity of “like why does everybody feel the same” is perfect.

[@christopherriddell7137]

Yeah gets to me too, Jonathans best vocal so far I'd say.

[@SwitchXP8]

This is like a poetic takedown of modern society and how it makes us feel. It gets better every time I listen to it!

[@gamebox9067]

Just discovered this band by Radio 1 playing this song while i was driving, i literally had to stop and use snapchat to find the name, i don't know what it is about this song and I'm not an emotional person at all but that chorus resonates with me like no other song. everyone has a different taste in music, but this is my perfection, the melody, lyrics and modern feel with the subtle use of the xylophone (or similar instrument) mastered beautifully with extremely great vocals. good job guys have truly created a masterpiece and good luck though 2024.

[@Mrmatthew4338]

Same. Apart from the stopping to find it on Snapchat bit

[@lindamaxwell9722]

Same❤

[@jamiebadley1172]

You're very lucky. You get to listen to all their songs for the first time.

[@eimearclerkin5555]

Same

[@EdwardSturdy]

They're just the best band ever aren't they

[@robhaley5136]

Yep! They are. It's a bit crazy how good they are actually. Like... most songs you hear you can hear a way you could 'improve it'? Not this. It's literally like the found the soul of this song, plucked it from the universe. It's perfect.

[@slinkymalinki7844]

They're like our little pocket band. The fact that they are not fully mainstream means that they can keep making music we love. Such a great band. 15 years and They're still putting out music like this. Awesome.

[@sinbad8982]

they really are. how they aren't huge astounds me

[@robhaley5136]

It's because most people like simple four to the floor boring 'meeeh'sic. And we can thank our lucky stars that Everything Everything don't cater for them, they cater for us!! Go listen to their new release if you haven't - The Mad Stone, I may like it even more.. THAT is what Everything Everything is all about. Weird as hell but still catchy, like it's straight out of ARC. @@sinbad8982

[@TheBluceRee]

They good, but not the BEST? IDK MAN....

[@eskildschroll-fleischer4095]

I’ve listened so much to this song on the stereo during my wifes pregnancy that my baby boy now falls to sleep to Cold Reactor. I can tell he’ll be a fan for life.

[@UpIsNotJump]

So great!! I think even better than Bad Friday as a first single

[@HomerS95]

For sure. Sounds beautiful so far 😢

[@nathanm5594]

Ooh new EE single...check to see if matt from UINJ has beaten me to the comments section 😂

[@selfaware7617]

Everything everything is not a disaster and here's why

[@bonniefinleyanimation]

I love Everything Everything and I love Up Is Not Jump.

[@francescov.m.k]

UpIsNotJump no only has one of the best channels but also the best music taste

[@callum7081]

Another amazing track. Possibly the most underrated band in existence at this point, consistently good since their first album.

Thank you for the lyrics I was mumbling something until then x

[@haR0Ld2244]

Greg James from Radio one sent me. (Tune of the week 20/11/23) amazing song 🤙🤙

[@seagreentangerine2065]

Greg is the only one at the BBC that has any taste !

[@sazwell]

EE still in their Raw Data Feel groove which I love cos that's one of their best albums 🔥

[@davinasanchez6944]

The pure JOY I felt when those synth notes dropped 😭 I used to mostly listen to rock and pop-rock, but the last few years have been a pop and electronica vibe. I simply cannot get enough of boppy beats and electronic instrumentals, esp from EE. I want moreeeeee

[@RamenDenominator]

I couldn't make out the lyrics live, but now I am catching all the references to modern online socialization. EE is always making meaningful art. I couldn't love this band any harder.

[@keithcastellano1458]

This is best band of the last 20 years. So underrated! I love this song!

[@whitestripe100]

That chorus just keeps running in my head its so good

[@jpraciunas]

& so begins the cycle of obsessing over every new single until the album's release, and then obsessing over the album for the rest of my days.

[@benjywalsh]

I’m not gonna comment an image of a little yellow face to tell you that I’m sad about the emptiness that’s all around me, just my appreciation for this awesome song……..😎

[@allofmyes]

The best part about our civilization’s continued collapse is all the great Everything Everything music we’ll keep on getting as accompaniment.

[@ScottAndersonYT]

Small victories 😂

[@allofmyes]

@@ScottAndersonYTwe take what we can get these days

[@arfarfington3563]

strap me in and crank up the earbuds

[@JenniferPayen]

A bit like the movie Titantic with the musicians playing as it sank. hehe

[@ChaoticLaughter7]

The writing here feals closer to get to heaven which is perfect imo, thanks for the song! Keep it up!

[@Daniel-ij6eu]

how is it possible that they've never released a bad song. every single one goes so hard and connects to me so deeply.

[@yungboneslop7849]

Pizza boy defs hurts my soul a little

[@marcocarmona4463]

Nah pizza boy is harmless Big Game is perfectly Mid and the wait for the end doesn't really jam with it

[@abhainnxv1554]

Well I'm glad to see you like all of them, even the bland ones.

[@kyachdistent1301]

Virtually impossible for any act outside the 80s me would think. Don't know these guys before, but this sounds pretty nice, no mean feat in a world of shit taylor swifts, justin biebers, rhiannas, rita oras etc. all. Not sure about the "love you like an atom bomb" lyric.

[@Daniel-ij6eu]

@@kyachdistent1301 you don't gotta knock pop stars if they're not your style. those singers aren't my favorites either, though every rihanna song i've heard has been really amazing. "i love you like an atom bomb but i've become a cold reactor" is actually one of my favorite lines tbh. it's how i feel at least. when you have enough love in your chest to start a fire that you can see from space, but that's not what the world wants from us. society kinda.. locks us into ourselves. all that matters is that we're productive. generating money and work for the people who wanna use us. so the song is, in my eyes, depicting humans as radiant, like the stars. but it's kinda mourning the fact that we've been separated from each other, prevented from connecting in a way that would stir genuine reaction. we're stripped of the brightness to become more efficient. and when we're molded that way, it's hard to get back. to reopen and genuinely offer ourselves up in our relationships with other people. that's the meaning i find in the line, anyways

[@yaoibookclub100]

Even when they change their sound to be more pop (which I don’t really care for I’m more of a rock guy) EE’s lyricism always keeps me coming back for more. Words that make me grateful I can understand English

[@jonhulton]

Pop music is great when it's brilliant. Some Dua Lipa songs are unquestionable bangers. This is top tier pop music. Genius band.

[@adamandom]

the blender skills are unparalleled at this point this looks so real

[@sallyreynolds3922]

It is real :) Its a slate mine in North Wales

[@jackasmaracas4362]

[@BranwenRoberts]

​@@sallyreynolds3922 I thought these mountains looked familiar!! Can't believe they were so close 😢

[@sallyreynolds3922]

I asked my husband to check. It's Llanberis :)

[@BranwenRoberts]

@sallyreynolds3922 no way! Literally 10 mins down the road! Thank him for checking! Haha x

[@robertgreenaway5166]

From seeing these guys when I used to get home from school and was obsessed with them. That was when I was 16. Im 35 now and they are without doubt the best band I’ve ever been blessed with. Lucky to see them at ally Pally a few years back. Today I just received my personally signed mountain head album and I’m even more blessed than I was all those years ago! Big love. Forever a E E fan

[@ellaaa1498]

OOOH LADS this is extremely good. Damn. You strike it out the park each time, love you guys and your incredibly unique beautiful music 💛💛💛💛

[@ellaaa1498]

Also feels quite get to heaven which I LOVE. This is sooo good

[@yarmy2936]

this song fits like a puzzle piece in my spirit, i cant express what your music means to me, thank you. i am soo grateful for you guys.

[@musemaniac191]

the hype is real my mammals

[@indifferencey]

met john friday the 13th after the show in Minneapolis and hearing this song live for the first time. looked to my partner and said "i dont think i know this one" they said 'you must not be a fan". one of my favorite shows ever.

[@S.Rank_react_dev]

The group that makes me consistently cry

[@albanian1145]

This was recommended to me from the song “Panthera Tunga - How We Get Down” 😊😊

[@billerin7995]

Back to their best. Massive fever dream era vibes on this one. Love it.

[@ulysserolland3432]

My, get out of depression, band. Love you guys. Thank you.

[@arug3899]

EE is 1 of the few artists that sooth my troubled heart and soul 👍

[@nickjbeech]

Can't stop listening to this, like literally 10-20 times a day right now... absolutely buzzing for this album

[@kevinnewson3677]

So first time listener of Everything Everything and what can I say about Cold Reactor other than FUCKING WOW!!!! Where have these guys been hiding!!!! I’m so glad Greg James BBC Radio 1 played this! Now go give me a like and go listen to Cold Reactor!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[@artiartie]

RAHHHH 🔥🔥🦅🦅

[@lucasfogaca555]

I regret listening to this song yesterday, 3 hours after launch. I was tired and didn't have the audio setup this band deserves. I found it ok, as for EE never really missed, but nothing to get thrilled to. Today, set up my speakers and played the song again, paying close attention to the details. So, it IS a masterpiece. I AM thrilled for the album. Damn, I love this band

[@rorqualdesertico8193]

Oh my gosh! Is that Dave Sardine? at 2:49 lovely single! super catchy! so excited for this new album!

[@AlanMurray-zw4jz]

Brilliant. Can't wait for the new album. One of the most underrated bands, criminal really.

[@MrLewooz]

everything they touch turn into gold.....

[@auden9540]

Best band in the world

[@koss7148]

This is great. Hoping this ends up being another concept album type thing. Always cool seeing you guys do more story-related stuff

[@dragonsheen3049]

I’m so so so in love with this track. If the rest of the album makes me feel half the things this song is making me feel, it’ll be my favorite album so far. It scratches my brain in just the right way. Been a fan for a decade and you guys have never once disappointed!!!

[@zakkybounce]

THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL I WANT TO CRY. Everything Everything, you've done it again. 💜

[@Sadwaffles]

Blew my mind hearing this first live

There is nothing more 80's than a video in a quarry! Brilliant. This track is on repeat!

[@shawnaugustyn9533]

This song is such a banger. I can't stop listening to it.

[@jeffwagg]

Oh man, did the go to Pequods? I'm a couple blocks away...

[@darkmoon1892]

@@jeffwagg they posted about it after asking the crowd where to get pizza after the show at the Metro!

[@jeffwagg]

Ha, darn. I would have bought it for them. @@darkmoon1892

[@phoebe5]

I'm mildly surprised they actually took the suggestions, figured it was just banter. I wonder if anyone else went after the show and saw them there.

[@benjaminjosephfoster]

Oh wow! I thought Jonathan asked the "where's the best pizza" question just to fire up the crowd! I didn't know he was asking for suggestions in earnest baha

[@alex4854]

I'm sorry Satan.... Everything Everything have dropped another banger!

[@angmering5899]

This is a fine addition to the 'Jon, Alex, Jez and Mike dick around in an interesting setting, and also Dave Sardine is there' genre of EE videos. (See also Spring/Sun/Winter/Dread, Big Climb...)

[@flinglish7522]

Probs my fav song of the past 10 years

I mean, look at their output, while the quality still somehow keeps going up. Nobody spoiled me like them and I had a great childhood.

[@metaldetectorists76]

The fact that this video was only posted an hour ago and I have spotted 148 comments here speaks volumes for the amount of love and respect that is still held for what I consider to be a highly talented and underrated band.. However, does that actually really matter? When Jonathan and the boys are still releasing such beautiful and often unheard electronic gems like this new single they can still hold their heads up high and breath a sigh of relief that their banging tunes are not yet being played in some souless shopping precinct in modern Blighty between a Sports Direct and Greggs somewhere.. Just for the record: I do actually enjoy a Greggs as I think their snacks are actually pretty decent value for money, it is more the post modern jokey comment I was aiming for here..... Cracking tune lads.. You have still got it!!! 😊

I picked up and played the new album yesterday. As always with so much music and with this band in particular it took a few listens before Everything Everything finally clicked into place. Just when I personally thought that they could not equal Raw Data Feel and Get to Heaven I had to stop in my tracks... Jonathan and the boys have climbed to the top of another musical majestical mountain with their heads held high. Lovely stuff and too many tracks here to know which is my best one...

It’s been a while since I became immediately obsessed with a song but today it happened. Having bought up the EE albums I didn’t own, I listened to them all in order and Cold Reactor grabbed me within seconds. Hasn’t let go yet either (listened to it about 30 times today) and I hope it doesn’t for a long time.

[@seanhayes3346]
