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...

I don't know what some of the songs on the album including this one but that's what I like about this band they leave the lyrics and music to you so you can put in a way where it relates to you. My sis got me into them. Amy Lee's voice is so flawless and enchanting it's hard not to listen. I catagorize this group not as rock but more of a rock opera thing.

I love this song so much. Its one of thier best, in my oppinion. Its the kind of song u can listen to over and over. And it has so much emotion in it you can feel it and hear it in her vioce.

The song is good.I have a hard time understanding what it means but ill give my interpretation of it anyways.

I think this song is about someone(Amy Lee) having put everything into a guy she loved.And it just fails at the end.

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

This verse shows where she was there for everything for him Sad,Angry,or confused,she was always there for him.And now she has nothing because he left and gave him everything she had.

fun fact:

I hate evanescence. I don't expect anyone to care about my opinion, but I just thought I'd tell you anyway. I'm not even sure why I hate them, I just do. I think it's the ultra-whiny/vampire-ish aspect of their music that really gets to me. Amy Lee's voice makes me want to kill something, which is weird because she's a good singer.

oh well. I'll just stick to my miyavi and deftones for now.

peace love and poptarts

In October my happy well balanced 25 year old son developed paranoid delusional disorder & committed suicide after only a few weeks. I had him when I was 15 & we grew up together. He was my best friend, my soul. EVERY word of this song speaks to me. I wiped his tears, I held his hand thorugh his fears, I still feel him here with me & it is so painful. I sometimes feel so alone & I tend to bottle things up. When I hear this song it is like a release valve. The tears flow. I feel the gaping hole in my heart & my soul. It helps me to remember those precious times when he was a child & the love we shared. I have to grieve before I can heal. This song helps me do that.

theres no need to flip out... shit... just cause i dont like the singer doesnt make me sexist, amy lee is a fucking no talent lesbo communist, and it makes me sick. i think they should get alanis or a male. thats all . no need to be a bitch ... and who says its not about sex.. you arent amy lee... or maybe you are and thats why you take so much offense to seeing as how everyone thinks she is shit... i have heard numerous people also say it was about sex, so up yours you fuc... oh yea and i heard of joanjett..courtney love(murderd the last great rockstar) and tori... and guess what ... i think they all suck balls... only stevie nix and alanis are the only good girl "rockers"

Hey, Mothra, guess what? THE FUCKING EARTH DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU! CLIMB OUT OF YOUR SEXIST SHIT HOLE AND REALIZE THAT ITS NOT ABOUT SEX, YOU STUPID ASS HOLE!!

Such perverts in this world today...

Oh, and to all the people who say "Lacuna Coil is the best band out there and are the first rock group with a female singer, blah blah blah..."

Lacuna Coil is not the first rock group with a female singer! I actually like Lacuna Coil, but dumbasses like you people make them seem like losers. Ever heard of Joan Jett? Courtney Love? (even though Courtney is a BIG slut) What about Tori Amos??? They all came way before Lacuna Coil did!!!

I maybe a little off hear, but i think this song is about sex.... the first verse is when you are talking with your partner afterwards but you dont really wanna be there, the when it talks about the pain, its talking about how sex can be painful sometimes, and it just talks about how he can do her all he wants, (all of me) it all fits, i think ive heard this interpitation before though so i dont wanna take full credit for it....by they way, i think id like this band alot better if it had a man singing. Im not sexist, its just rock and woman voices very seldom go together well and i think it brings out alot more power when there is a guy singer... but hey, man thats your thing, i dunno

She does this with enough emotion that you feel something, yet she lets it be someone else's song as well. It is as if she's creating a song for everyone in the earth who has been hurt, or has lost someone. Her voice is amazing, not just on this track, on every track on the cd. Originally, I bought the cd for "bring me to life' but now I hardly listen to it anymore. I adore the line "You still have all of me." It is so easy to relate to it. We all have someone who has all of us... don't we?

this song isnt all that great but its ok, its about someone who dies (so many death related songs nowadays...) and she is tryin to get over it, and will still keep the memory of them alive, so it will be IMMORTAL... not a great song but hey, did anyone else think the music video was a little "pornish"

Now I'm a pretty happy and outgoing person that enjoys life but honestly, each and every time I hear this song, it makes me want to committ suicide, the tone of the song is just so depressing.

That being said, I don't know what this song is about, the lyrics are kinda out there. Some of my friends think it's about a person who used to belive in God, then something happened and they turned their back on religion, then in the end they look at their life and realize that God was with them all along.

Personally though, I can't even listen through this whole song, it's so depressing and I can't even understand half the words she's singing... it sounds like she's just mumbling and then every once in awhile she's yelling/mumbling...

I don't know, Evanescense is allright but I really think there are a lot better artists on Wind Up that deserve more of a push then they are getting or have gotten in the past. I think that Cauterize and Twelve Stone have a lot more potential... but that's just my opinion and everyone has their own style.

I saw the Nintendo Fusion Tour back in the summer and quite honestly, the only reason I went was because I wanted to see Cauterize perform. They were the opening band, and even though not even half the crowd was there, they rocked and they were honestly the biggest suprise in the whole Chicagoland area the next day because all the radio stations were raving about them. I don't know why Wind Up didn't push their name out there more after that... but I'm sure they had their reasons. Evanscene was allright, but I really thought that the opening bands were just as good as the "headliner", which really shouldn't happen at a concert of that magnitude.

I dunno... I'm sure some loyal fans of the band are gonna snap at me and say "why are you posting if you don't like them", but I'm sure I'll survive. :)

ok people, amy lee, not hot at all, she cant sing, she is over produced i saw her live unfortunately, shes terrible. Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil can sing. Check out the 5 ALBUMS LACUNA COIL HAS OUT. Compared to the lousy 1 evanesance has. They stole LC's thunder and formula. Lacuna Coil has been doing this alot longer than them, Evanesance doesn't deserve to be big. Lacuna Coil actually have drum solos and guitar solos. Figure that out. hmmm......actual music with singing. www.lacunacoil.it or www.centurymedia.com check it out it is worth your time. and don't be one of those people who won't listen to a known popular band becuase it isn't cool to do. i hate that, proves people have no minds. mostly what mainstream music is all about.

well, i loved the song before... but i thought it was a little slow... so i love the newer version... but either way it is awesome because it can be adapted to fit so many situations and it fits perfectly... absolutely amazing song.... plus the sound of amy lee's voice on a ballad is just awesome... if you like it get "broken" from the punisher... not quite as good but still awesome

I don't like the new radio version at all!!!
Can they get through a single song without bringing in the drums and that sorta thing? gah...

but such a beautiful song!
I love the lyrics
"This pain is just to real,
These wounds won't seem to heal"

Well...I actually heard over the radio shes singing about her sister who passed away at a young age. Not really much to say but i believe its that one and not so much about a break up or loss of a guy.

"though you're still with me, I've been alone all along"

I wonder what this part means.
