Evanescence – Whisper Lyrics 10 years ago
In my opinion the song is about them finding out what the music industry is all about. "This truth drives me Into madness" She doesn't like it because it isn't what she had hoped for in her dreams of becoming a singer. She wanted to uplift people and present us with her beautiful music and voice but instead she is being told what to do and how to do it. She is a voice for someone else's evil plan.

Don't turn away --- She knows that it is dangerous to turn her back on the ones who got her to this point.

(Don't give in to the pain)--- She is suffering because she cannot influence her audience in the why she would like and that causes her much pain.

Don't try to hide--- She cannot hide from the media nor her fan base. It's everywhere and "They" will always know where you are.

(Though they're screaming your name)--- in reference to her fans.

Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)--- There are many things going on inside her head because she has to live with this horrible truth which causes racing thoughts and feelings of despair. Many scenes of horrible truths cannot be unseen and behind the darkness of your eyelids hides all the memories that cannot be forgotten.

Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep never die)--- In fear of what lies within the darkness. Sleeping is a very vulnerable point in everyones day. Who knows what's lurking around while you sleep.

I'm frightened by what I see--- She sees first hand what the master plan is. She also sees first hand what it has done to people, society and other artists. This plan is working and its bringing us all down.

But somehow I know
That there's much more to come--- This is just the beginning for what "They" plan to do with this power that "They" have and "They" are using all forces that "They" possibly can. Their singers and actors are painted red so they fit right in while still getting the point across. She is very much apart of this plan because she is so very influential.

Immobilized by my fear--- The fear of this plan is so great that she cannot handle it. She is Immobilized by the fear of what's to come.

And soon to be
Blinded by tears
I can stop the pain
If I will it all away---- Obviously she is in tears because of how devastating this plan is and how she was used to put parts of it into action. She can stop her role in it all but it takes planning and secretive measures to do so. It can't just happen overnight because it just isn't allowed. It doesn't work that way. Things can get very bad very quick.

Fallen angels at my feet--- We, the fans, are the fallen angels at her feet. While she is on stage we are below her. Most of us do not know what is going on. We have no clue as to what the plan is or even that there is a plan. We were innocent until our influences turned us into the fallen angels. Without our knowledge we have been influenced to be people we were not born to be. We have all been changed by the media and its at a level that we cannot even detect with our conscious mind. It is our subconscious "They" seek to reach.

Whispered voices at my ear--- It is "They" who whispers at her ears. "They" are telling her what to do and what to say.

Death before my eyes--- The death of our innocence. The death of society. The death of our own rights to be who we should be.

Lying next to me I fear--- She has been a role in the plan. She has acted under someone else's hand in all of this. She feels as if she is responsible for what has happened and what is to come. This truth lays next to her and she is ashamed.

She beckons me
Shall I give in--- "She" is referring to the alter ego that Amy has obtained throughout her career. It is a being that will carry out what she cannot. Amy is being asked by this "She" to just give in and do as she is told.

Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet my end--- If she should let this being take over then it will rise while the real Amy, with all her hope and dreams, will be gone. It would be the end of the true Amy. Her body would be a perfect mobile cast to this being and it would have free range to do as it pleases. It would literally be the end of the real Amy but the beginning of a whole other level of great success in her career. In making that choice it will cost her all that she has achieved while trying to become an independant artist.


It all becomes clear with the last words of the song...

Servatis a periculum [save us from danger].
Servatis a maleficum [save us from evil].
