This track will always remain as one Klayton's best songs in every project he ever had. It marks every single detail of what Celldweller is, it mashes genres literally in a blender. Real definition of true original music, never got tired of it.
Oh man, I can't believe That you did what they said You did and to this day I've still gotta say that in My mind I question it I wish I knew what you had Meant before you went And left me wondering to Just an echo of your voice Listen...

Same for totally (maybe?) different reasons. I pitched this song to use in a UT frag vid UT Immortalz 2 and it ended up in it! I think it had been someone elses suggestion before me and thats how I still revisit this song to this day... :) some of the UT music did use similar instruments though! 303 and electric guitar and synths of the era.
@glffmn2339 That video is great. Yeah, this song sounds like the kind of music they used in UT, and it has that edgy futuristic vibe that certain nu metal and electronic music had at the time.
I'm going to tell ya'll a story of how I discovered Celldweller. This song right here stood out to me. I heard it on a game called Crackdown for the Xbox 360. I got obsessed with Celldweller after hearing this. Then I got my gf and friends into Celldweller and they are still fans til this day. You damn right I love Celldweller.
5:42 - I rememeber finishing that full of energy part, me like dancing agresively and randomly to it, and literally thanking mentally the song for those "tired sounds" for they allowed me to get ready for the epic finnale.
one of my all time favorite tracks since I heard it '03-04'ish! I had never heard anything remotely like it... really opened me up to electronic music as a youngster.
His other song “New Elysium” from “End Of An Empire” album, kinda reminds you of this one. This one is by far superior, but that one is pretty awesome as well.
This track completly changed my life forever, the remix Audiotec made for this was the song with which I returned to listen psytrance music, now 5 years later I am a psytrance DJ and I wanna do this forever, thanks Cell I love you and your music
I fucking love Celldweller's music so much. Klayton you're an absolute G. I've listened to your stuff for years and every time I revisit it blows my mind and blesses my ears. Cheers man, thanks for gracing us with your talent
the song is 7 minutes and 41 seconds long. 7 mins and 41 seconds are equal to 461 seconds. 461 times infinite equals to infinite. a day has only 24 hours, which is less than infinite. i can't believe you would lie like this. i am literally shaking and crying rn
как же замечательно было слушать эту прекрасную песню буквально полгода назад, и как же до слёз и удушья больно слушать её теперь, когда ты можешь полностью прочувствовать её смысл повторяющееся: "I wish it didn't end this way" убивает меня мне так жаль, что я не могу ничего изменить... мне так жаль
I can't believe this song has only 360.000 visualizations. I alone have listened to this song these many times. Where is the rest of the world? How can they live without this universe condensed in 7:41 minutes?
Still remember first hearing this song in a demo for a ps2 game called XGRA. Thanks to that demo disc this sound spawned such a strong love for this genre of music.
The master at full display in his craft. The first two songs i heard from him were last first born and i cant wait. After that he has been my favourite music ever since.
I really can't deal with the fact that this masterpiece is 20 years old
25, there's demos of it from like 1998 floating around.
20 YEARS?! 😱
fuck i feel ancient
*never get old masterpieces*
This song is absolutely legendary. A pure masterpiece and one of my biggest inspirations for music
I feel you. It's many things mixed successfully into one whole masterpiece. The last min is just insane
100000000% agree with you
Well, if thats's true I'll check your stuff. Would love to hear more like this. ❤️
Shit you went straight to x
@x5j94 You can to Powermoves to it for sure
I dont know how perfect is mastered …it sounds like a 2024 song
This is the best song for a midnight drive

Oh man, I can't believe
That you did what they said
You did and to this day
I've still gotta say that in
My mind I question it
I wish I knew what you had
Meant before you went
And left me wondering to
Just an echo of your voice
Listen...
Listen…
Listen…
Listen...
Now I wait to take my turn to bleed
Like a kid playing with a razorblade
And wonder if I have the balls at all
Or am I gonna be afraid
Where are you?
What do you think?
'Cause I'm not sure when
Knocking at death's door
If I will be welcome in
Or be left alone outside
I hear the sound of a heart
From the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(Listen... my son)
I see the darkness surround
The shape on the ground
The killer straight up
And a body face down
(Firstborn... last one)
I hear the din of the screams
Sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline
(Listen... my son)
I see a heart set free
And my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me
(Firstborn... last one)
I guess there comes a point
When you think to yourself
"This isn't worth it,
It isn't worth it"
And now I feel what you felt
And now I feel what you felt
Inside
Brother
And now I feel what you felt
This isn't worth it,
It isn't worth it
I hear the sound of a heart
From the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(Listen... my son)
I see the darkness surround
The shape on the ground
The killer straight up
And a body face down
(Firstborn... last one)
I hear the din of the screams
Sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline
(Listen... my son)
I see a heart set free
And my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me
(Firstborn... last one)
(Listen...)
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way.
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't
I wish it didn't end this way.
Live a life in hell
Through a mortal shell asphyxiating smell
For a crime lifetime
Imagination locked in a cell
And to the other firstborn,
I see the same scene
That must play over in your mind
And now how much more
I'm sure it's fucked with your head
Just like it's fucked up mine.
"Listen, my son...
Firstborn, last one"
The message you
Sent out to me
I cannot change
What's meant to be
The message you
Sent out to me
I cannot change
What's meant to be
What am I supposed to do now?
I hear the sound of a heart
From the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(Hit its mark... hit its mark...)
I see the darkness surround
The shape on the ground
The killer straight up
And a body face down
(Body face down... body face down...)
I hear the din of the screams
Sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline
(Listen...)
I see a heart set free
And my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow
That is beckoning me

Hot damn those are good lyrics.

Reminds me of Unreal Tournament in the late 90's / early 2000's.

Kinda shit that makes you wanna hit 155 mph on the interstate. Dangerous song to drive to. Highly motivational.

Same here! This is the song I play to get my courage up.
I heard Switchback in a CoD edit and I looked up this album :D
I also discovered Celldweller through Crackdown as well, brings back memories of playing that game.
I discovered Celldweller in XGRA
DarkKirby14 Same here haha! 2003...
Industrial metal at its finest!
This song mix so much genres, it's a masterpiece in my book.
I really love it, always make me happy and excited 😃.
I want to know'em plz
+Hanzo Hasashi
Trance industrial metal and a little bit of hip hop
Wish Klayton would still make this kind of songs. :'(
@@pedus3383 Start with Trent Reznor....Nine Inch Nails
as a note, this genre INVENTED many of these mixes.
This song is in my play list since 2006. True masterpiece, along with 'we will never die' and 'switchback'. Many thanks from Russia with love!
We will never Die it's actually called Own little world but still are the best 3 songs
Красава, братка
Смотря на современных популярных музыкантов,мне всё больше кажется,что где-то мы свернули не туда
Это ты точно подметил
Однозначно ты прав
Так и есть
кого например?)
Куда то в лес густой прям
This song is one of a kind
This song was my favorite song when I was 12 (and randomly discovered Celldweller)
I discovered it again recently and... holy, is it good
Who else thinks that this songs chorus was perfection?
Like how it breaks off into a lil Psytrance section for a second. Best kind of Industrial Metal... It mixes like 5 different genres in this song.
As the eldest child of my father's last marriage, I am literally a "last firstborn" 😜.
Eargasms everytime!
NOO WAY KRYZEE POSTED THIS 7 YEARS AGO
My favorite song of this album, and perhaps on my top 5 favorite Celldweller songs
I'M dancing and headbanging at the same time
5:42 - I rememeber finishing that full of energy part, me like dancing agresively and randomly to it, and literally thanking mentally the song for those "tired sounds" for they allowed me to get ready for the epic finnale.

Reminds me of supporting me from sonic adventure 2
Man, I found this gem on Limewire and it still goes just as hard as it did then.
This track completly changed my life forever, the remix Audiotec made for this was the song with which I returned to listen psytrance music, now 5 years later I am a psytrance DJ and I wanna do this forever, thanks Cell I love you and your music
2024 so nostalgic yet still so different, this track could be a soundtrack in so many movies!!!!
XGRA introduced me to Rock and Celldweller… I cannot be happier for this.
Hell yeah! This and Ghost are my all time favs.
And Tragedy :D
And One Good Reason
Holy Shit Morgan! Didn't think I'd see you here!
and Birthright 1.0
I fucking love Celldweller's music so much. Klayton you're an absolute G. I've listened to your stuff for years and every time I revisit it blows my mind and blesses my ears. Cheers man, thanks for gracing us with your talent
One day I'll throw an industrial party and play lots of CellDweller.
Celldweller is the one of the best electro/industrial metal
I used to listen to this infinite times a day.
the song is 7 minutes and 41 seconds long.
7 mins and 41 seconds are equal to 461 seconds.
461 times infinite equals to infinite.
a day has only 24 hours, which is less than infinite.
i can't believe you would lie like this. i am literally shaking and crying rn
My original favorite from the self-titled album, and still is to this day.
I have found my new favorite music genre, thanks a lot.
Electro metal?
Or metalstep?
Always when I listened this song, I don't have it enough... Amazing. Masterpiece!
5:45 I've always imagine this pars as him looking cool and exhausted, and then the music kicks in and just poses bobbing to the music epically
One of my absolute favorites, and the first song that I heard from Klayton two years ago. Ahh, my life would be so dull without his music!
Finally an official upload of one of my favorite songs!
this song is so unique
The Last Firstborn is a great song.
listening for 10 years.....
Came out in 1999. First discovered it in 2005. Been a fan ever since.
Quite honestly the greatest song ever produced imo, it's a journey and a half.
один из моих любимых трэков,спасибо Клэйтон от души=)
I heard this song in a Death Note AMV and Ive been hooked on this song ever since, that was 7 years ago.
Amazing that this song, which was released in 2003, blows away just about everything released 17 years later. From production and sonic standpoints.
That old Death Note AMV also brought me here.
Perfection
これ無茶苦茶かっこいい
Old but gold.
It actually hasn’t really aged.
*never get old masterpieces*
как же замечательно было слушать эту прекрасную песню буквально полгода назад, и как же до слёз и удушья больно слушать её теперь, когда ты можешь полностью прочувствовать её смысл
повторяющееся: "I wish it didn't end this way" убивает меня
мне так жаль, что я не могу ничего изменить...

I can remember seeing every show of theirs back in early 2000s at the flint local 432. I have loved klayton for years.
So many memories with this song, and I never get tired of it lol
Still the greatest song I've ever heard.
I can't believe this song has only 360.000 visualizations. I alone have listened to this song these many times. Where is the rest of the world? How can they live without this universe condensed in 7:41 minutes?
