Evanescence - My Immortal

Sabtu, Juni 07, 2014



It's a beautiful song. with the beautiful lyrics, indeed.
This song was inspired by Amy Lee's sister death from cancer. When she was six yo, and her sister was three yo.

this song always hits me hard everytime i hear Amy's amazing voice.
It's simply about loving someone so deeply but being left alone with the same person.
To me this song represents loss, but not completely. 
Whether it's through death or a break up or just losing someone you love.
"There's just too much the time cannot erase..."
It's not about how to let go of someone. But when you realize that the love you once had was the purest love. When they're gone.. time will not erase nothing, all we have to do is learn to live with the pain. Deal with it and move on :')
"You used to captivate me by your resonating light. Now I'm bound by the life you left behind..." 
Sigh. there's always a reason why we falling in love with someone, but when they're gone, it's hard to fall out of love and trapped forever by their memories.


"When you cried I'd..wipe away all of your tears. When you scared I'd fight away all of your fears.."

Okay.. I strat to cry now. hehehe.
To wipe away the tears from someone that you loved so much. or even to fight everything that scares them. 
I see there's compassion, the overflowing love to someone. Just like a mother who has lost A child. Hiks.

Dalam video klip lagu ini, efek "bands" yang terlilit di tangan dan kaki Amy juga menimbulkan interpretasi tentang "suicide"..banyak yang berpendapat, bahwa lagu ini juga mengangkat issue "teenage suicide".


"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone. But though you're still with me..I've been alone all along...."
Again. This song is talking about someone watching the one they love die, or walked away. Yet the presence still lingers in their mind and soul.


and here's the full lyrics :


“My Immortal"


I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face—it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice—it chased away all the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along...
****


Whatever... i feel you, Amy. Been there :')
