| I agree with pretty much everything dwdrumsmash said, I olny differ with the usage of the word 'cellar'. I think its basically just there to tie in with the title of the name...which is most likely an allusion to 'Donnie Darko'. | |

| This is one of my favourite songs of theirs! it's amazing. Ok so there's something I don't get... 'The I drug your body' Maybe it's I drag your body? but it really does sound like drug though, but that doesn't make sense. The ' to the celler where we lay, the wax it melts away' I think might mean that he takes her there and the wax melts away, which could mean that time has passed, the wax of a candle is melting. | |

| I love the song, its really good. I just don't think its about a loved one committing suicide. Don't take it a wrong way or anything, I could be wrong and you guys have really good connections. But when i hear [admire the whore] I think of Ronnie's ex. Girlfriend Mandee Murder. How he said she's a slut and gave him the 'clap'. And how it says [I lost control] its like he killed her for what he did to her. And the chorus is kinda like 'look what you did, now you have to wait.' Like how the wait is painfully long and it hurts. And how it was wrong of her to do that to him. How Ronnie relates it all to art is, how he wrote the song, showing her pain and showing her off like the whore she really is. I don't know, this is my interpretation of the song and my opinion. | |

| Thanks for the nice comments. I was listening to it again, and on the drug reference I was thinking, in lieu of Ronnie's heroine addiction, maybe he's making a connection with that. Never really thought of a Donnie Darko connection but it see it now. Very good. Cellar Door as the title is also most likely relating someway. The phase "Cellar-Door" is often thought to be one of the most beautiful phases in the english language prounced by J R. R. Tolkien. He Writes: "Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is pleasure in the contemplation of the association of form and sense are abundant." Connection here no doubt also. | |

| its is actually "I drag your body..." 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 [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] http://www.escapethefate.net/lyrics/cellar_door.html | |

| Wow, i'm amazed. I thought it was just me who thought the cellar door thing was a connection to donnie darko, but now i see that other people have made that connection to. Amazing song && amazing movie. Anywayz, what do u think the connection is, you guys? In Donnie Darko, Donnie was obviously mentally ill. Do u think the similarities could be that the person who commited suicide in this song was mentally ill, as well? I'm just curious and tossing some ideas around. It makes me like the song a little better knowing that that much thought was put into a correlation. | |

| Song is talking about Ronnie dating a whore. They both have a drug problem and one night Ronnie beats her. She goes into her room and commits suicide. He feels bad because he feels like he killed her. "I lost control...Your face is pale... Your bodies cold." He's saying he lost control and now shes dead. 1 | |

| a few minor corrections to the lyrics(I *'d the lines with changes): We walked through the doorway Heard you calling from the hall To find you in the bedroom Not breathing at all I drug 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* Now you wait like the drug, like the change And 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* *Where your face has a mask* Now they are starting to love you more A gallery of your beauty *No charge at the door* As you wait like the drug, like the change And 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 y 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) Wait, like the drug, like the change And 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 (x10) gorgeous song | |

| some of these lyrics accually sound like mutilation to me. i thought about it, and in psych class we studied serial killers and some killers liked to mutilate their victims and thought of it as a work of art. they occasionally liked to put masks on their victims faces too. if you think of it that way, the song takes a different meaning. but i dont really think thats what they were trying to say in this song at all. i just thought it was wierd. | |

| LYRICAL ANALYSIS IS MY LIFE. Here's my take on it. We walked through the doorway Heard you calling from the hall To find you in the bedroom Not breathing at all I drug your body to the cellar where we lay The wax, it melts away I kiss your face. ** This is reffering to the narrator and someone else walking in to find the person who has committed suicide. The "cellar" could possibly be a metaphor for the darkness that the others were living in - obviously blind to the problems that the person who killed themself had. The "wax, it melts away" could possibly be referring to the person's personality. That before they died, to everyone else there were plain, and dull, and not important, kind of like a wax figure - maybe like a fake. But now that they're dead, their beauty and personality shines through. Now we are starting to love you more Your body's on the canvas I painted on the floor ** They realize what's lost. The narrator amung others is starting to understand the person more, and thus "loves" more. I believe the lines "You're body's on the canvas I painted on the floor" means that, her dead body is lying on the floor. He uses the metaphor of a canvas and himself being the artist. The canvas is the floor. Meaning that he "painted" her death, or he is the cause of the death of this particular person. Now you wait like the drug, like the change And 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. ** Implies that the person used drugs to kill themself; overdose. The pain has changed sides. The person who killed themself no longer is in pain - but everyone else is, and this will stick with everyone for a very long time. 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 has a mask ** Talking about the person's life. The beauty everyone missed out on. Relates her person's life to picture frames...metaphor again. The person wore their "face as a mask" and hid behind it. Now they are starting to love you more A gallery of your beauty No charge at the door ** Again, to love the person more. The gallery of your beauty might refer to the funeral, or possibly the party they have after the funeral, where sometimes pictures of the person is displayed. As you wait like the drug, like the change And 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) ** Pretty self explainitory, the narrator is talking about the dead body he's looking at. Wait, like the drug, like the change And 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 (x10) | |
