Lyrics:
I feel alive again
Started with the fear of falling
Into an hourglass
Voices in the void are calling:
Wrap me in your arms.
Waterfalls; endless as they drag me
Down into the dark of it all
Can your heaven help me?
Is this the end or is this the beginning?
There are stranger things I’ve learned on the outside
Separated by an open door
I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline
Salivating ‘cause I wanted more
Is this the end or is this the beginning?
Am I allowed again
To call out what I need to hear?
To be a conduit
Conditioned by the fear of fear
Wrap me in your arms
Waterfalls; endless as they drag me
Down into the dark of it all
Can your heaven help me?
Is this what you want me to be:
Perfect and clean?
Float on a temporary
Empire built in a day
To throw it away?
Now I can tell you
There are stranger things I’ve learned on the outside
Separated by an open door
I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline
Salivating ‘cause I wanted more
Is this the end or is this the beginning?
I know where I want to go
But it’s too close
And it's too late
this time
I know where I want to go
But it’s too close
And it's too late
this time
There are stranger things I’ve learned on the outside
Separated by an open door
I find it hard to reach the end of my timeline
Salivating ‘cause I wanted more
Is this the end or is this the beginning?
Is this the end or is this the beginning?
#TooCloseTooLate #Spiritbox #RiseRecords
Something I love so much are the recurring motifs throughout the EP. “Too close too late” appears in Jaded, Too Close/Too Late and even Ultraviolet. There are references to a “Crimson key” and “velvet sky” throughout many songs. A “conduit” is referenced in both Cellar Door and here. The lyrics “I know where I want to go” in Jaded, Angel Eyes and Too Close/Too Late get changed to “You know where you want to go” In Ultraviolet. Cellar Door, the first track, talks about “closing the loophole” while the video for UltraViolet, the last track, is literally a loop. You can also hear the same guitar work in he bridge of the Void at the end of Ultraviolet, and more. It’s super cool how much work was put into making the EP so self-referential. Another reason to love Spiritbox.
Also something with an hourglass is recurring in the lyrics
That, my friend, is called story telling.
They were hoping folks would catch on to this ;) They discussed it in a recent interview with Nik Nocturnal. It's a lowkey/unmarketed concept album
I knew I wasn't crazy about the crimson key thing
You can also hear "too close too late" at the end of The Void, which caught me off guard after hearing it so many times without noticing that at all.
Every aspect of this song is perfection. The entire EP is incredible. 53 years into this life and I continue to hear music evolve and stir every single emotion I am capable of feeling.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🎶🐺🤘
Thanks! I'll check it out. @@beezybeez4207
Dude, same, 53 Friday, I still love hearing new music that blows me away!!🤘🤘🤘
F🤘🏼KIN’ rockin’ 56!! 🍺🍺
Respect
The story telling is amazing. Almost like going through a trauma and ending in a resolution. “I know where I wanna go, but it’s too close, and it’s too late this time.”
Ultraviolet:
“You know where you wanna go. Never too close. Never too late. There’s always time.”
I read this as she sang it. It's not too late this time. I still have time....
she is represeting the trauma of our souls being locked into the simulation.
Very Alanis Morrisette
Yes! I liked that resolution in ultraviolet too so much more after hearing this masterpiece. I heard jaded and ultraviolet first.
A HUGE thank you to Rise Records for exposing me to so many different bands. At 47 I am amazed how much awesome music is out there not getting radio air time.
Rise Records has sooo many good bands!
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🤘🐺🤘
good music doesn't get radio air time..not to mention radio is dead.
Radio is dead.
Just heard this on Sirius XM Radio 😉
Personally I love this kind of songs the most of Spiritbox (Constance, Blessed be etc.) Courtney’s voice is just heavenly 🖤
Same here ^^
You should love The Summit and Trust Fall then
Preach!
Beautiful
check out a band called Static Dress from the UK. They really are going to be thee biggest acts of our current generation & in many ways they have. Everything they do is DIY (singers a cinematographer), write the lyrics, the lore, makes all the merch plus is extremely hands on in the recording session. I swear theyre a post-hardcore band like Underoath when they released they're only chasing safety & define the great line, the band members are only early 20's but you'd swear they were as old as Finch & Glassjaw! You'll love it! (note: i am by no means in this band but when their career started i got talking to all of them online & they're as real as they come. Also they signed with Roadrunner Record but told them "we will not sign this deal unless full creative control. Roadrunner were hesitant cause they had just lost Slipknot & needed something that the kids are going to love & follow for a long time so he caved & gave them whatever they want. Also Olli the singer is best friends with all of Loathe & A LOOOOT of the British metal & hardcore scene so the bands connections are wild. I'll be seeing them this sunday then i get to see them again, bad omens & bring me the horizon all in the same night!!. I feel a feature of both BMTH & SD collab, it's inevitable. Olli Appleyard & Olly Sykes have an extremely amount in common, personality wise, music everything!

please give this Static Dress song a listen, the visuals & director were done by the singer whilst unsigned.
100% one of the best songs I've ever heard in my entire life, an unbelievably talented group of musicians.
Courtney's outfits in music videos are just amazing
Spiritbox and Eyes of Your Eyes completely reinventing the genre of modern metal.
dude I just discovered eoye too!! their music video for the drumcorps remix of 'magnetron' was friggin MENTAL haha
YESSS another Eyes fan
Crazy to see a comment about eyes of your eyes here !! I thought I was the only one . Seems to be Brand new band but wow. Forgive the English I'm French lol
I Never would have found out about Eyes of Your Eyes if not for this comment. fucking AMAZING. 🤯
Thank you!!
They haven't reinvented modern metal or metal in general. There are bands going back to early nineties. The Gathering, Left Hand Solution, and Lacuna Coil.
Then came awful bands like Evanescence, Within Temptation, and countless clones. So, this band is far from reinventing anything.
This just happened to be at the right place at the right time. They'll squeeze out two more albums and fall into breaking up and obscurity.
I love the clean vocal songs of Spiritbox so much.
Courtney's voice is so beautiful
Awesome
I felt like nothing could top Circle With Me, but this song is absolute perfection. The melody and ensemble of the chorus is 100% satisfactory and I love the simplicity of the bridge. Nothing fancy, just jamming with beautiful chords. This is stupid good song writing.
This is my favorite song off the EP, for sure. love the vibe , droning bass, palm muted guitars, clean vocals, and beat fills.
same!
soo stunning and such a great band
Her voice is awesome, different pitches as she sings, compared to their angel eyes song where it was heavy but sounded very monotone in her voice.
This song is awesome. Feels like they took a lot of inspiration from Deftones with all their melodic, but heavy clean vocal songs.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🎶🐺🤘
Well I'll just say it as it is... This has to be their best song yet, perfect blend of everything they do well!
A mix of alternative-rock and metal omg
Her voice is truly wild
This. This is one of my favorites out of the EP. I think it only comes behind The Void.
I’m convinced this whole EP was an excuse for Courtney to try on different outfits
This deserves 1 billion views
This is the best one off the EP. Some of this band's songs are stupidly criminally underrated.
Just once in a lifetime a band comes along and changes everything, Spiritbox is that band...let's discuss how perfect they are.
“Is this the end or is this the beginning” all while doing a black and white video, harkening back to the beginning of Spiritbox videos. Chef’s kiss 🤌
i am in love with their aesthetic, the vocals and instrumental. she is captivating. i am in love. yes yes yes yes yes spiritbox.
That bridge at 2:32 is hauntingly beautiful. Courtney is the best vocalist in metal right now and it's not even close
Dan Tomkins is the best imo but shes up there. best female vocalist for sure.
Crowd chant moment for sure
her vocal range is just amazing. such a beautiful clean singing voice and yet she can do such outstanding dirty vocals too. courtney i mind blowingly talented. and the whole rest of the band is insanely good too. i love everything i've ever heard by them
Ive been obsessed with this song ever since the EP dropped and I just wanted to say that the instrumental during the chorus absolutely blows my mind. I wish I understood music better to explain how cool that bass guitar and drum combo is, never heard anything like it.
Concuerdo con el extraño
This is what I've been feeling the entire time. The sound of it is somehow so solid and comfortable. It stirs some emotion in me that I cannot name.
Man I love this band. Cannot get enough of them
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🎶🐺🤘
Probably their best song in their upcoming album along with Jaded. Spiritbox was always on the top of my playlist. Love that they evolve on every album. 🔥
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🎶🐺🤘
Love it when a band makes a video for every song. I get it, videos are expensive and a reason exists why they don't. But I think this was a perfect EP to do so with.
this should be getting the millions of views, but I'm in a way selfish thankful this band isn't as huge as it deserves to be, that gives a common folk like me more of a chance to see them live.
You all don't miss. "Conditioned by the fear of fear" is such an incredible lyric! The whole song is so meaningful!
Spiritbox are one of the absolute best bands on the planet. New EP is incredible.
My impression is that Courtney got better and better overtime, almost reaching perfection with this song.
Luv it.
It's crazy how good Spiritbox are, despite the fact they don't stay "safe" and continually experiment with their sound. Very difficult to do and yet, they do it so beautifully.
I'll never understand why they get to do it but everyone bashed alot like birds for it. What's the magic SB has?
I'd say they do stay safe with their sound.
@@nikoraasu6929 ya I listened to most of what they released on spot last night I now have no idea what this comment is talking about
@@nikoraasu6929agree, they don’t have much variance and that’s perfectly fine
@@redly03 Of course they are, especially now that Courtney says she takes inspiration from pop music. Not shitting on their music, as I really like their direction, their hybrid soft/heavy songs are my favourite by far, but they certainly found a safe spot to please both metalcore fans and people who prefer less heavy music.
Their sound is so ethereal.
The chord progression in the chorus is absolute beauty!
Jesus.... The lyrics... the music... with such thought to every detail. This is some of the most beautiful art I have experienced in such a long time. It brings some beauty to damaged parts of me that need it desperately.
I feel this so much
Backup vocals from Josh between 2:35-2:57 mark. You're welcome!
Não vi
Yep, this is the first time you can clearly hear him.
It’s Josh AND Michael! 😍
Yeah, like kinda.
I've been waiting for this.
One of the Best songs Off the Ep
I heard everyone talking about Spiritbox lately and I gave them a try. I can't stop listening to them now, Courtney's voice just makes me fall mentally in a slumber and forget the whole world around me. They are one of the best bands I have ever listened! Keep it up!
I need the chorus injected into me, it is so powerful and beautiful!
Been stuck on this song for couple days. Think It's one of their best songs..you guys fckng rock much love and respect from south Texas
Dude, Spiritbox continues to deliver! They keep releasing banger after banger! Love it!
I love all the lyrical motifs and the world you guys build in just 6 songs 🥺 absolutely beautiful
Definitely my new favorite track. The openness at 1:44 is amazing, and also I really appreciate keeping the energy up and not breaking down at 3:00. These folks know how to groove! Zev is a very underrated drummer as well. Some crazy talent here!
This whole EP is a 10/10!
I give it a 6/6 :)
It really is. I was surprised how much more I like this then Eternal Blue
Courtney has such a beautiful and powerful normal singing voice and her harsh vocals are top tier!!!
Thankful for your music and the metaphorical storytelling that comes with it. Ever since the self-titled EP. Everything has a purpose & I can feel it.
This is a certified banger.
From the start of this song this was my favorite off the album. Yes thanks for the softer chill music along with your heavy stuff.
I just found this band yesterday and it's fkn awesome love her 💯
This band is just a machine of well oiled proportions. Every track is fire and they can go so many places with a track. They can make you cry and on the next track tear your face off.
Spiritbox changed my fricking life
I'm getting such a positive vibes from their music every time
They have that ability to draw emotion out of your soul with their music from the heavy stuff to the and soft stuff and everything in between. It’s what makes music so wonderful to me and not alot of people/bands can do it this great!
Personally I love this kind of songs the most of Spiritbox (Constance, Blessed be etc.) Courtney’s voice is just heavenly
This is hands down their catchiest song. I love it.
INSTRUMENTAL please!!
Josh's basslines cut right through on this song! Simply well played sir, well played.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf “ or “The Wave” by SLT 🤘🐺🎶🐺🤘
(Mike plays bass on this)
Spirit box is officialy the best modern metal band out there, just the range from this to angel eyes and celar door literaly every singe song they make is a masterpiece. Thank you for making these absolute bangers🫡🤟
They have a wide range. Hope to hear all three live in less than a week. 🎉
This is so hauntingly beautiful. Spiritbox really nailed it with this new EP!
I'm in love with this EP. Such a tightly written and effective batch of songs. Easily one of the best releases of this year.
So happy to see this and Korn. True poetry
I’ve been listening to this one nonstop! Such a beautiful melody on this one guys!!
Fell in love with her voice in IWABO "GREEN EYES" You guys have came along way and never gave up. Thank you for your hard work! We appreciate you and congratulations 🎉 🖤🩶🖤
She was a good replacement for Krysta, never got to see IWABO with Courtney but several times with Krysta
Only spiritbox can release a song like this and angel eyes in the same album.
i love her voice!! She has such a special voice
I’m so thankful to have lived in the time of spiritbox.
Got bored with metal 20 years ago. Came back to find this new wave of bands carrying the torch and proving something that Dio and Black Sabbath always knew: The heaviest riffs work better with melodic vocals
same af dude
I typically don't like the whole clean vocal with heavy riffs. It often is only done by European bands like Nightwish and awful, dreadful, terrible... well they're European so they don't know any better. Bottom line is, that usually is what ruins it.
This. This doesn't let us down.
But it's not European. So that's probably a huge reason why.
Sabbath I never cared for, always thought their recordings sounded dreadful (even remastered) and honestly.... Twist 'n Shout by The Beatles "sounded" harder than anything sabbath ever recorded. I dont know why. But I do miss Randy Rhodes sound.
Dio....man, if you like it, respect to you. But I'm also going to pass. I just decided to leave the classics in the past and look at them as rock, not as metal. They rocked so metal could run. 👍
I'm getting Perennial vibes. My first discovery of Spiritbox
The urge to comment on something is very rare for myself, but this is simply way to good to stay silent… I was pretty bored by most of the current releases in Metal, but thanks to Spiritbox my faith is restored. There is a beautiful sadness and hopefulness about this song that caught me right away. Outstanding. Please never stop making music. You’re the best Metal outfit these days. The aesthetics, the sounds just play seamlessly together. It‘s ridiculous. I love your whole vision and how it just feels huge to witness every single output. Thank you. 🖤
By far my #1 ep of all time absolutely perfect songs amazing music video quality flawless recordings that fade in to the next song perfectly what a masterpiece
SPIRITBOX!! How are you guys so consistent? Releasing banger after bangers! My playlist is literally just all your albums and EPs tbh.
Mainly because they stay so true to their sound. They dont take risks, and even when they do, it doesnt sound like anything else except Spiritbox. They have such a unique sound that cant be replicated.
@@ItsSauIGoodmanthey definitely take some risks. compare self titled to rotoscope.
@@AlleviateWoW yeah, I was saying that even when they do, they keep that Spiritbox sound. A lot of bands step outside of the box sometimes and lose themselves. Architects is a good example, then theyll release a heavy song as a fuck you to people who dont like their new stuff lol
@@ItsSauIGoodman they take risk but they know how to do it their own
@@Spiritbox12 that's what I said. It's rare that they take a risk though.
The vibe on this track is unreal. This is my favorite, but the whole EP is just insane 🔥
I just found this band 3 songs ago and I'm in love already.
Goosebumps... I'm 40they are the only newer band that gives me chills
Thank you Courtney and Band for showing us how metal can evolve and be beautiful and brutal at the same time. ❤
Absolutely LOVE this song! My favorite from the EP then Jaded - The Void - Ultraviolet - Cellar Door and then Angel Eyes
The only problem I have with this EP is that it isn't a 30 song album lol. They killed each song. I need more
This was suggested to me while listening to the song “Dupe - Balling” 😅😅
Her voice is amazing! Incredible how this band can do calm and heavy songs, and both styles are awesome in the end.
Everything Spiritbox does is top notch artistry. ❤
The drummer is 🔥
So beautiful, this is definitely one of my favourites, thank you to Courtney and the band for making stunning music. Xx
My favorite song by spiritbox yet. Chills everytime!
This may be their most mainstream song but still keeps that spiritbox feeling the entire time. Great guitar effects. Mike does such a great job of using the guitar almost as a second percussive instrument with full agreement with the drums. Amazing
Im so glad Shinedowns front man believed in Spiritbox
Great time for us Spiritbox fans. So many music videos ,guitar playthroughs and an epic ep to add to our collection.
Both Majestic & Sublime.
Loving the many moods of the
Box of the Spirits☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
The end of this song is just so amazing
We are so lucky to not only get such an amazing EP, but we get all these new videos on top! They do not miss.
Dude this song is amazing! Keep making great songs like this please.
Courtney is my crush now
Just stumbled onto this band like 10 mins ago on a best female vocalists video. Her vocals are so pleasing to the ears and I really like the sound musically reminds me of some of volumes sound on the happier album.
They hit hard again , this one is so different and special
I have been a fan since 2020, and this is by far my FAVORITE song you have written. And I have listened to every song you have written.
I love you Courtney Mcplant. Thank you for the music 🖤
yay that's her favorite dress
Awesome 🎶, my black heart flys with this song. 🖤
Such a chill song, love this band.
The entire EP is amazing, but I think this one is my favourite. It's just so beautifully melancholic, and the note Courtney hits right at 4:13... I felt that go through my whole body with shivers, it was perfect, never stop making music guys
Will never not love when Courtney sings!
these synths and pads give me chills
WooooooW! this song it´s a masterpiece. The voice, the lyrics, everything it´s simply perfect!!
新曲いっぱい聴けて嬉しい😊
