Lyrics:
This is the final time I’m waking up
Inside I dream that doesn’t break enough of the soul I once was
In the light I once loved
I can see it shining through the trees
A reflection of a Crimson Key
And I hesitate to feel something
In the presence of a cold emotional vampire
Invited inside
I dream I die
Hidden from the light
You want to cover me in ultraviolet
To a river flowing back in time
Dream I die
Dream I die
If you can meet me in another life and
We can burn into the velvet sky
Dream I die
Dream I die
I can feel the end is haunting me
Mirror image staring back into a thousand lifetimes
Fearing what the light finds
I can see it shining through the trees
A reflection of a Crimson Key
And I hesitate to feel something
Cause I don’t belong here
You want to cover me in ultraviolet
To a river flowing back in time
Dream I die
Dream I die
If you can meet me in another life and
We can burn into the velvet sky
Dream I die
Dream I die
You know where you want to go
Never too close
Never too late
There’s always time
Dream I die

If Cellar Door to Ultraviolet doesn't prove Spiritbox's range and versatility to people, I don't know what will. This is a band that can either entrance you in with melody and atmosphere, or absolutely melt the front of your skull with the heavier elements.

[@Cupidssatan]

​@@erra7552yeah I rally like them but honestly they are kinda boring

[@iwolf208]

After hearing the repeating lyrics of “I know where I wanna go, but it’s too close and it’s too late this time…” throughout the entire EP, to hear Courtney start soaring her vocals and close out the final song by changing it to… 3:03 “You know where you wanna go Never too close Never too late There’s always time” …heals something deep in my soul that I didn’t realize was broken. I absolutely adore this band

This EP came out during the week I was having a miscarriage with twins. It was an experience I could never fathom being as hard as it was. I was angry and so sad, but still had that small bit of hope it would be okay in the end. This EP, especially this specific song, will hit me in ways I never knew existed because of that experience. “If you could meet me in another life, we could burn into the velvet sky.. “ 🖤🖤

[@eldritchseraphim]

And I love the fact that I, as an enjoyer of the heavy-heavy first and foremost, have this song stuck on repeat. Music is music. Bands like Spiritbox, Currents, and Invent Animate are revolutionizing the genre imo, but Spiritbox takes the cake in terms of their overall range. This is beautiful.

[@1TotalJabroni]

​@@OuroborosWormyeah probably not happy. I'd describe it as emotional, melancholic, almost sorrowful with the lyrics. It's just a beautiful fucking song.

[@RipleyE-we1hj]

​@@ShockwaveZero You can't judge this band based on one song, since they blend different genres, but still rooted in metal. You need to be more open-minded. Besides, this isn't even the song that earned them a Grammy nomination. It's their song, "Jaded".

@@ShockwaveZero I'm very real bro. Just go and listen to their songs. God bless you

[@DanielTheGray]

This is one of those songs where I have to stop myself from listening to it on repeat because it's just so beautiful 🫠

[@umbraydn]

Zev's use of ghost notes is so tasteful and adds so much, especially to the melodic and more chill parts of their songs. I love drumming to SB songs because they're heavy but still have a great feeling pocket. Plus the use of doubles with the single pedal and linear fills all over the place - just a ton of fun to listen to and play to.

[@Omertahun]

I always say to myself, if theres a band that can make 'rock' mainstream again, its this one. No misses, led by one of the most beautiful voices ive ever heard. Im in awe every time.

[@joeylummox7330]

I've been listening to rock for 40 years. For at least half of that it has been extremely mainstream. That, said this sounds much more like generic pop to me, and it's overproduced as hell.

[@mavven2882]

@@joeylummox7330 I agree. I love Spiritbox, but this song feels completely void of the Spiritbox sound and comes across like pop music. It's like the record label made them throw it on the album to have a "radio" single.

[@cynicalphoenix]

​@mavven2882 you do realize spiritbox has made whatever they wanted since they were formed right? They've always had the more melodic and ambient songs like this, especially evident on Eternal Blue

[@mavven2882]

​@@cynicalphoenix If you think any band who signs with a decent-sized record label is just able to "make whatever they want", I've got some lunar real estate to sell you. You are allowed to like this song. It just won't be for everybody.

[@cynicalphoenix]

@mavven2882 you clearly don't know courtney or Mike then, or musicians in general. If this was the "one" radio friendly song the label forced, why is half the ep also melodic with cleans?

[@missinbrain]

A single long shot! All the speed ramping. I can’t imagine how much planning and rehearsal this required. 👏👏👏

[@daedalus_20v]

For real man, so much pre-pro. I mean just think about the on-set music track for her to sync to... it has to all match up in the final edit of course, so it's got to be timed out to account for the ramps and hitting marks, etc. "Simple" and cheap (and smart!) idea for a music video, but the more you think about it, the more you realize how difficult it is to execute this well.

[@adamkoepke1366]

@@daedalus_20v how are they going about speed ramping to match 24fps or slow mo to match a track at 24fps?

[@daedalus_20v]

​@@adamkoepke1366 Well, it's not necessarily shot at 24fps, but whatever frame rate they used, they shot the entire thing with the same frame rate. That's the trick. You have to know in advance where, when, and how much you want to ramp things in the edit because it's going to change the timing of how it matches up to the song in the edit. The unedited footage is no doubt much longer than what we see in the final video. The music track used on set for her to sync her vocals is probably the trickier bit (not sure lol, I'm still deciding). Since it's audio, it was sped up or slowed down, extended, manipulated, etc. ahead of time. In other words, she's hearing it on set already sped up and slowed down and whatever else. That allows her to adjust her lip sync in real time, and when the FOOTAGE of her singing faster or slower is adjusted in the edit, it gives the effect that she's singing "normal" speed, even though everything around her isn't. Does that answer your question?

[@adamkoepke1366]

@@daedalus_20v I think so! Thank you! I work in the video and photo production world but haven't ever had to do any speed ramping so I've always been curious about it. I always assumed they would do takes at their final export fps rate and then do full takes at their predetermined slowed down and sped up frame rates. But especially with this looking like a one take video unless they're doing a hell of a job with somehow hiding these cuts, I can't really wrap my head around how they did this.

[@nickmolsonfuck]

@@adamkoepke1366 mind bending! - Im thinking they probably shot it at something like 48-60 fps and the audio track she lip synced too was ramping between half time or double time or dropping back to normal speed etc where they had the speed ramps planned for the video... incredibly well executed, getting the dancers in and out of frame and lighting que's... so good

Is it all just one take? I've only watched once and wasn't paying much attention to that aspect (the audio and visuals are so beautiful!), guess I'll have to force myself to watch it again oh noooo 😂

[@subparsenpai]

@@darmakx99 I believe its all one take! Its a simple concept but gets incredibly intricate once you get to thinking about how this was actually executed

[@shioriakumaa]

i was straight up in awe of how unique and masterful cellar door was when that dropped, and now you drop another masterpiece? this song is so beautiful and gets me in a certain type of emotions. that final dream i die at the end gives me chills each time. 10/10

[@kingsp00k78]

The best voice out there. Period. Courtney's voice has always invoked emotions I'm not aware I was capable of experiencing til those notes run thru my skin like electricity

[@levbuava]

Hard AF 💪🏾💪🏾I like the difference in sound poppy, but They deserve the mainstream attention ALL OF IT same with The Plot In You. These bands have so much heart

[@imvengeance5077]

In all this time it never disappoints🙌I love how light rock feels with a jaded-level chorus.

[@gabetower]

Sweet

[@glossyrup]

the light change and arrangement at @2:12 is the highlight of the song 😍 what i love most about spiritbox is their versatility and there’s always exciting surprises every new release!!

[@JGGuitarCovers]

This band can not make a bad song!!

So I haven't really seen someone talk about the fact that The Fear of Fear is essentially a concept EP in the fact that all the songs have similar themes and are self-referential. Keep in mind that this is all my own interpretation and I could be wayyyyy off. I think The Fear of Fear is the story about someone stuck in some kind of cycle, either metaphorically or literally. In this case, I view it as a cycle of immortality, or a cycle of different iterations of the same person. The reason for this is all of the different Courtneys crawling in The Fear of Fear, as well as the doubled up Courtneys in the same video, the mirrors in Jaded/Angel Eyes. The crimson key and mirrors play a huge role in this immortality. The crimson key is the representation of whatever keeps starting the cycle of death and rebirth over, and I think the reason it's shown at the end of Cellar Door is all of those Courtneys are at the ends of their cycles, and the key is either starting it anew or the literal key to ending the cycle--"I turn my key into my burial". The reason the song is called Cellar Door is because this person is trapped in the same cycle--"Close the loophole". She also feels stagnated or pained in this cycle, which is there the cycle could be more metaphorical, like a literal fear of fear or the cycles get into when they're afraid of doing something--"I can't live in this world while I breathe in another one". The constant imagery of the mirrors is another representation of the different Courtneys. Courtney wants to shatter or break the mirror to end the cycle, as in Angel Eyes--"This time I break the mirror when I die / An hourglass inside my mind / Turn it once to touch the sky (referring to the key ending the cycle)." Courtney breaking the mirror is killing the concept of different iterations and the idea of the cycle. Ultraviolet is after she has broken the mirror and managed to turn the crimson key or break the cycle, and it's her final iteration--"This is the last time I am waking up". This is her way of accepting mortality or accepting the struggle the cycle has put her into and moving on from it. The outfit she is wearing is reflecting the fact she has shattered the mirror, and the different people in the video grabbing her are the people who still want her to stay alive. At the end, she accepts death and is seen laying on the ground. That, or the way the video starts the same way as it ends is a representation of the cycle repeating itself. Anyways, this was hella long-winded. Please give me your other interpretations because there was a lot I didn't list here. TLDR, The Fear of Fear is some of their best work.

Little pieces of her scattered all over the floor…. We’ve all been there ❤ this is beautiful 🤩

[@scabthethird]

I don't know why, but I'm crying......what a damn beautiful and emotional song! Spiritbox ftw!!

[@michaelafanador3359]

This is the best First introduction video to Spirit Box for someone who isn't into metal or harsh vocals!

[@KelseyLuomusic]

it almost sounds like a Dayseeker song, which blows my mind! absolutely stunning ✨

[@hamsterrwrld6767]

Her voice 😍😍 Courtney is absolutely STUNNING.

[@CrimsonDagger]

I'm on the right side of KZbin tonight. Glad I clicked on this video. This song is so good.

[@shaygagne8303]

I’m dying to see a behind the scenes of this video, incredible cinematography and choreography!

[@tiamod]

People who cry about how heavy a song is are the worst. Like Jesus, I love heavy metal but it doesn’t ALWAYS have to be screaming.
