Lyrics for My Immortal as interpreted by cailin

My Immortal Lyrics
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all my childish fears
but if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
'cause your prescence 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

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
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's 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

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
i held your hand through all of these years
but you still have all of me

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

when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears
when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears
i held your hand through all of these years
but you still have...all of me
all of me
all of me
all...

No, kolda1ce, you are not the only one who hates them. Why don't you guys do something productive like focusing that anger onto writing something wonderful instead of cluttering up the boards?

This song makes me think that maybe getting lashed on my eye balls with a stanley knife, might not be as bad as listening to this gayness...

I really love this song. In my opinion, it is beautiful, though I like the Fallen version better than the one they play with the video. Ben Moody did write it, but Amy Lee said that to her it meant "When you feel like you’ve dwelled on someone that’s gone for way too long and you feel almost haunted by the memory and it’s when you’re at the point you’re not wishing they were back anymore but asking for the presence to leave you" so I think that's what I'm going with :).

To the people here that thinks that anybody who listens to Evanescence has bad taste in music, I have something to point out to you. Everybody has a different taste in music. Why else would there be so much variety? Everybody experiences music differently and just because somebody doesn't experience a song the way you do doesn't make that song bad. It just makes it bad to you.

To the people who call Amy Lee fat, I also have something to say. What does her weight have to do with the music? You could weigh 300 pounds and still make beautiful music, couldn't you? Besides, I'm so tired of seeing half naked girls who are thin as sticks shake their skin towards the camera for no reason other than to make a buck.

Look at the meaning this song has held for so many people. I really don't think that this one is about suicide. Who knows, it could have saved people from committing the act themselves. Would you rather have that or a skinny lead singer?

I don't see what people have against mainstream either. I mean yes, some mainstream music sucks. However, the band must have done something to get famous, right? Whether it be in appearance or in sound. And it's simple to sift through - if you listen and like, that's great! I just don't think you shoud dislike a band just because they're famous.

In conclusion, I'd like to say that Amy Lee should not be compared to Britney Spears in the way that was stated earlier. There is one crucial difference - Amy Lee keeps her clothes on.

End of rant. Sorry if I offended anybody, that was really not my intent.

And in my opinion, AFI is a good band.

I apologize to my other guitarist for not mentioning him above, we were 2 guitars, the bass, the violin and the voice.

This is a very important song for me and my band, cuz its the last song we played together as a band beore we all went to university. Our vocals, Gaby Lohman has an awesome voice and sang this one, BEAUTIFUL. There was no piano, though, I played all the piano part with arpeggios in my guitar. There was a bass and a voilin. Honestly, it was inspiring. I love this song, and makes me cry sometimes. My girlfriend left me 2 months ago, after the most beautiful relationship ever, after 2 and a half years. I'm so sorry about that. I'd love to see Amy Lee in a concert and singing that song. Hope they come to Mexico.

ben moodys meaning

My Immortal is about a person that you love that has died and will live with you forever whether dead or alive. In effect they [the person who has died] never actually die because they are always a part of us.

amy lee's meaning

When you feel like you've dwelled on someone whose gone for way too long and you feel almost haunted by the memory, and its when you get to that point when you're not wishing they were back anymore, but actually asking for the presence to leave you
