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...

This makes me think of my old best friend. We were best friends for 6 years until she decided she hated me and her new friends were so much better for her, and now she realized she was wrong, but I know we could never be friends again even tho I still love her. Sometimes I wish she would just leave me alone and let me just forget about her and everything we once had in our friendship. I was always there for her through those 6 years wiping her tears when she'd cry, fighting her fears when she'd scream, holding her hand through all of the years we were friends helping her through good and bad, and now everything is just done, but she still does have all of me, i know that if she really needed me I would do anything for her still. Yeah, I dont know, I love this song, I relate so well. It makes me want to cry when I listen to it, I'm such an emo pussy!

when i saw that video i wanted to cry, not because i was touched but because i could'nt believe what the mainstream was coming to. britney spears is bad enough...now we need this pathetic goth-poser that just so happens to have a beautiful voice! miraculous! i can only take so much sluts hanging off buildings wearing tattered dresses...but when record companies want to sell rock using the same tactics that the goonies hired by pop singers come up with then it truly angers me. amy lee makes me sick! even the lyrics suck! that song could'nt have taken the people they hired more than 20 minutes to write. maybe there is some soul....i heard that bitch and her lover broke up or something and that sucks but why don't you deal with it and actually write some lyrics instead of expressing it by wearing rags on your feet? the image only lasts so long. but the meaning lasts forever. it's the goddamn truth.

hey everyone, im new around here..so im not used to this

i was readin some of the posts here, and i think i speak for everyone when i say EVANESCENCE ROX!!!!!! (xept man on tv) theyre one of my fave bands

n yea, i think u guys r gonna hate me for this, but u know, i like man on tv...lol.....the stuff he says is funny, specially the part where he says tht amy lee is already a fat ass.....although i dont support him
anyways, ill hav to admit, amy is kinda fat, but nonetheless, she is beautiful.....btw, hav u seen how pretty she looks in my immortal?? wow! (im a girl, nd i think she's pretty.!..)
so wht if he doesnt like evanescence, everyones entitled to their own opinion (including him)

to man on tv - listen up buddy, u dont like this band...fine...u really dont hav to go around bugging everyone here.(theyre too sensitive, its like ur insulting them)lol......nd theres nothing wrong with linkin park, good charlotte and simple plan, (nd the other bands u mentioned) all of them rock!!! u hav a different taste in music rite? if ur so smart, wht kinda music do u listen to? i bet all of them suck.........yea well, some of ur comments r funny, nd i enjoy reading them LOL....u make this messageboard interesting...but i guess everyone else doesnt like u (am i the only 1 who does???) so i think u should stop.
one more thing...hav u really listened to the songs? i mean, the lyrics r just amazing! and her voice...lovely. u should listen to them, and i mean LISTEN

nd to everyone else - let it go will ya? i mean give the guy some slack, ur supposed to write wht u think, nd he's doin tht.

o yea a message to all of u religous ppl out there - just cuz they WERE (take note, past tense, not present tense...sheesh) a christian band, doesnt mean u hav to relate every song with religion nd i dunno wht, not everyone around here is a christian, it may be offensive to some of us. they sing abt love, life etc.....so cmon, just stop the religous stuff......

rite, abt my immortal.....its AWESOME....i love it...she has such a beautiful voice...nd the lyrics r great........ive listened to a lot of their songs........nd all of them r great

i agree with everyone who says tht this song is abt a lost love..... its like she loved this guy soooo much, nd he died, nd she cant take it, she dreams abt him n hears his voice all the time....its like his spirit is still there, nd she wants it to leave.....nd though he's still with her (the spirit) she's been alone all along, cuz he's dead...but i guess a lotta ppl hav already said tht, so its nothing new
its definetly sad....but im not the kinda person who cries when they hear a sad song, its just stupid....i love this song, one of my favorites
my fave line - "ive tried so hard to tell myself tht ur gone, but though ur still with me ive been alone all along" .....wonderful

i personally dont agree with six strung out - but thts just my opinion
btw: u guys should listen to AFI....awesome band....

this sure is long...

one last thing.....i dunno how to play the piano, i mean, i dunno the chords n all, i just know doe ray me etc.
so, can anyone here write out the chords for me in 'doe ray me' form,? if u know wht i mean...plz, i really love this song....its really special, nd id love to know how to play it......thnx

EVANESCENCE ROOOOOOXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry if i got u bored....

Unlike Linkin Park, the singer/songwriter of Evanescence actually has poetic talent. Most singers put stress on the rhymes by the way they write their music, which is strucurally wrong in most meters. Also, most other singer/songwriters resort to predictable and convenient rhymes around which they write the syntactic unit of the line. Evanescence on the other hand appears to compose the rhyme in complement to the syntactic unit. Anyway, the music does not carry the meaning of the song so much as the poetry of the lyrics does.

I'm not sure why, but this video suggests that this song is about suicide. If you watch the video, you see bandages around both her wrists, and in most of the scenes she's lying down. This leads me to believe that she is not speaking in her own voice, but perhaps the voice of a previous lover. I disagree with the posted lyrics. I think the line goes "you still don't have all of me." Based on the video, I would interpret this to mean, if it is in her voice, that her lover can't have all of her because she has killed herself. If it is in her lover's voice, then he is lamenting her death, more or less saying that if only he'd been there for him, he'd still be alive. Actually, I believe that some of this is her own voice, and other parts not. It's usually really hard to draw that line. In a part I believe to be her own voice "I'm so tired of being here/ Supressed by all your childhood fears", I'm pretty sure she is saying more or less "I'm already dead, stop remembering me." I definitely agree that this is a sad, even tragic song. Of course to define it as a tragedy would be fallacy, because we don't know the narrator's postition in society at large, or even if the true narrator is still alive.
If this is in her own voice, it can almost be interpreted as a suicide note of sorts.
Evanessence demonstrates a mastery over persona in this song, switching flawlessly between at least two

It seems to me that the more I hear this song and read the lyrics it is about the death of a loved one. To me it seems to reprent all the residual emotions and energy that exist after someone dies. One minute they are there, and the next minute they arent, but you are left with all the memories, and its too much to take. Sometimes you wish that it would all just go away, but at the same time you cant let go.

For me it also has its own special meaning. This song always pulls on my heart strings, because it represents the love that I lost when I was younger. Ive literally been haunted by her face in my dreams, and it seems that time never completely erases the feeling of loss I have for her. I can completely relate to the line "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" There are thousands of times that I have wished justed to be able to forget everything about her, because the memories eat at you until you almost cant take it.

There is another line that I connect closely to "your voice, it's chased away
all the sanity in me " When she was in the hospital and I was at her bedside, her last words to me were "No matter what I will always love you". Oh my God! That was a dagger in the heart, because It was like my soul was being ripped out. Its like how on earth do you even begin to go on when the love of your life has just died in your arms. Then later on you feel guilty! You feel guilty for going on with your life, for thinking about loving someone else. Its a hard thing.

I must point out that although i agree with manontv that these guys are shit, they aren't pretending to be punk. You must be thinking of Good Charlotte. These guys are just pretending to be talented.
Evanescence fans, feel free to insult my lineage as much as you want for my not sharing your opinions.

good idea, but haha that's what they said, "let's make a band and make millions by tricking people into thinking we are cool and punk!" "but guys, we don't know how to play instruments and you suck at signing!" "oh well, i know a company where we can get all this stuff and we can play horriable music and they can use machines to make my voice sound good and make you guys sound like you can actually play what you say you do!" "whoa sounds awesome, we can totally screw people out of their money to buy or crap and they won't know it untill a couple years and relize we really sucked ass!" "yeah, but first we all have to gain 100 pounds or so, so that America will like us because we all know most Americans are really fat and feel sad because there are no fat people to look up to so we can make millions off of them and then every gay person will buy our crap, so start eating guys!" "but amy, you're already a fat ass!" "i know, isn't it awesome!?"

haha ok, you got me with the spelling, but come on, are you really that stupid? they have two grammies because mtv is owned by Clear Channel, and since every little mother fucker who can't think for themselves watches mtv then they are brainwashed to think evanescence is actually good. i mean, look what happened to Limp Bizkit. Everyone loved them and they sucked balls. look at them now. almost everyone hates them, and they just now relized it. the woman lead singer is the only thing that seperates Evanescence and Linkin Park. With out her, they would be exactly like Linkin Park, and we all know that one Linkin Park is enough. Look at the emo scene. Every emo band is exactly the same in everyway. Simple Plan, Good Charlote, The Used, Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Avril Lavigne, Bowling For Soup, and Hoobastank are all exactly the same and they all suck major ass. Clear Channel owns every single radio station and they try to play what people will like or make them want to buy more cds but ever since "punk" stoped breaking things and started breaking hearts, Clear Channel has been playing all this shit on the radio none stop and pushing bands like Evanescence out into the "cool" scene and trying to make millions off them. How can people like this crap? It sounds like Linkin Park with a fat woman singer weighed down with tons of Hot Topic shit.
