The self-titled debut that started it all has turned ten.

At the dawn of the new millennium, songwriter, producer, and multi- instrumentalist Klayton created Celldweller, a ground-breaking aural entity for the next age. Thriving on originality, Celldweller cross-bred electronic styles such as Drum'n'Bass and Psy-Trance with modern Alternative Rock and Metal on his self-titled debut, released independently in 2003.

The Celldweller album met with critical acclaim while climbing to #17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. Celldweller gained Top 40 Metal Radio charting with the track "I Believe You" pulling into a solid 11th place on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. Achieving a feat shared by only an elite handful of albums, every song on Celldweller was eventually licensed for use in popular media. These songs were heard in movie trailers, TV shows, and games such as Spider Man 2, Constantine, Crackdown, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Enter the Matrix, CSI, UFC, The Shield, and more.

Now, Celldweller has been reissued to celebrate the tenth anniversary of its release with updated artwork and a second disc of remixes, demos, and previously unheard rarities (all remastered for this release). While Klayton busies himself in his Detroit studio preparing the future of Celldweller for 2013, celebrate the past with this monumental work.

Lyrics

Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen

I can see a frozen point in time
Where her figure still awaits
Tongue of fire tracing lips outline
Where frozen breath originates
With one motion of her waiting eyes
She strips everything away
This one moment is intensified
And colors all fade to grey
I am in the only place that i want to be
Though we know that it ends eventually
But it's alright because right now we're frozen
"I want to forget mistakes they've helped me make
It's better to be broken than to break"

Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen

I can see a frozen point in time
That is easy to retrace
Light and darkness are both intertwined
The elements are in their place with
One motion of her wanting mind
The real world begins to fade
And all the hateful things I have become
Temporarily go away

Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen

I'll take you anywhere you want to go
Far from anything that feels like home (lets go)
You are anyone I want to be (it's here and now, and now it's only you and me)
It's never enough (mmm that's true)
I want to stay here (yeah, and I do too)
Breakin' it down(takin' it down)
With smell (smell), touch(touch, taste (taste), sight (sight), and sound (sound)
How long will I be here without you near because I'm so cold
Break them first or I'll get broken is not what I was told, now I'm so cold
I'm so cold
So cold

Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True life behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen

I've been listening to this for around 8 years, and I still didn't get bored of it. It's amazing.

[FulgerTheDude]

A masterpiece, a classic this is Celldweller !

[nievesshiratama]

Ahh, a good old classic! Along with Switchback, this is the song that got me into Celldweller

[firstprimehunter]

I feel like people overlook the meaning of this song and only see it as "that funny sex song". Like if you look closely (okay probably not too close the lyrics are right there) it's actually kinda sad. It's about an addiction. Not just to sex, but to the fantasy of being with someone. I like to think of this as a great companion piece to "welcome to the end" (and yes I put an overly long analysis on that video too...). This song is almost like the excitement of a new fantasy. Of escaping the lonely "cold" life outside and pretending to be someone else, and be with someone else.


Towards the end the narrator seems to realize how fucked up it all is,
"how long will I be here without you here because I am so cold! "Break them first or I'll get broken" is not what I was told
Now I'm so cold"
I think this shows it's about a breakup. But the singer initiated it. He broke up with her because he thought she would break up with him first. But now he's lonely because of it. thus, the fantasy.


Isolation is another theme that shows up in a lot of these songs, I'd even argue that isolation is the main theme of the whole album.
"better to be broken than to break."
or, better to isolate yourself from others than to continually get hurt by them.

This song is a freaking masterpiece. Can't ever get enough of this.

[alexandreneves]

This album is the one which I can say is the only one I have listened over and over for around 18 years. I simply can't get enough of it!
Been a Celldweller fan since 2003!!

[bpercival]

Just discovered and I cannot get enough of this. The bridge at 4:45 is outstanding.

[darthfelipe]

Probably one the best song to listen with headphone. The bass is so badass.

[kharnsagara]

I do not recommend listening to this song. Once you listen to it, you can't stop. 1/10. This song is so good, you won't be able to listen to any other music

[Dariddda]

this album is the most well written, and put together stuff I ever heard, from the instrumental, to the singing, the structure, the editing and the mastering. truly masterful.

[underconstruction]

Really wish more songs I liked were this long. Celldweller really puts a lot of passion into his work.

[Rxisama]

It'd be unfortunate for this not to be in Cyberpunk 2077, but you can't have everything.

[raymondking]

This track never gets old. The lyrics & instrumental is & has always been very SOLID 💯. Also, Hellraiser & Death race movie's always come to mind when I listen to it. Powerful track.

[dragodrago]

Ive been listening to this song for over 10 years, im 34 now and i dont listen to it regularly like every week or whatever, just sometimes when i wanna clear my mind and never get tired of it it truly is a good fuking song

[dariusrobotson]

I actually first experienced Celldweller on Road Rash Jailbreak, Symbiont. I kept looking and it took forever to find Celldweller again, but it was when I needed this music the most.

[greengeek]

I barely heard a snippet of this a few moments ago and decided to check it out. I love it, I can't wait to hear more.

[henroleroux]

I listened to this song when I was in Grade 8 (2011). I completely forgot about Celldweller and this song. Until it RANDOMLY started playing in a youtube music mix. Felt some seratonin for the first time in a long time 😂 Still a damn good to this day.

[Intrudr]

Still gives me goose-bumps! All those years...

[aswg]

This is definitely top tier music, along with Switchback.
