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 agree with kellymac, I see as this person facing off a ghost. Not an actual aparition per se, but the ghost of a loved one lost. This person is coming to grips with the pain of losing someone and can't help but put a little blame in that lost one because wherever the person is, she experiences the painful memories and dreams.

The emotion is so wonderful in this song. This to me is the powerful line in the song:
"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"
Because the person is trying so hard to come to grips and it is such torture because she experiences the worst of both worlds. Not only does the person feel the pain of those wonderful memories that haunt her, but she also realizes she is alone. Like a glass barrier is between the two lovers and they can see each other, but can never experience the fullness of their love. God, life's not fair sometimes.

Once against Amy Lee and Ben Moody have a way of making you feel something you haven't though about before, with their twist on what its like to be immortal. That a person passed on makes such an impact on the other person's life, that they suffer for it. Usually immortality is seens as something very positive.

But I believe this song tries in a way to be positive. I'm not saying it's bad. For it talks about the pain everyone must endure in losing someone. The risk we all take for love. But, I do wish for this (and when this happens I will probably swallow my words), because it will mean I've met someone who truly defined me. So much, they live on inside of me.

I heard this song for the first time yesterday. And I have been listening to it ever since. It makes me cry every time.
This song is so obviously about the grief and pain of losing someone, and because life and friendships can be here one day and gone the next it's something we can all relate to.
I'm going through rocky times with my boyfriend, and When I heard this song I thought about him. He's still my boyfriend, but I feel so alone right now.
This song also reminds me of my dad who died a few years ago. It's amazing how even after years the pain is still so defined.
Turning on this song and just crying is such a release for me.

I love the desperation and emotion in Amy's voice. I like that the words actually MEAN something. It's deep and haunting. Evanescence has definitely become one of my favourite bands.

I agree with you all, this song is amazing. It shows how much it hurts to not be able to be with the one you love so much. Even after you've shared all of these memories "tears and screams". It makes me so sad but it's so good. Amy's voice is fantastic, I wish I could sing like that. Evanescence bring a whole new variety to music :)

I cry everytime i hear this song. Amy's voice is truely amazing, and the words are so meaningful. I could listen to this song again and again and not get tired of it. It's a song that i think a lot of people may be able to realte to, about hurt and losing someone close to you.

I think Evanescencechic4eva is right, and every time I hear this (beautifull) song, I think of my ex-boyfriend. Not that he died but once we were listening to this song and he kissed me and it was so romantic and every time when I hear this song I almost start to cry 'cause then I remember al those sweet things he used to say to me and how much I loved him and I kinda miss him then and blah blah blah I'll just shut up, Neway evanescence is one of my favourite bands (Good Charlotte rox 2) and I truly truly love this song, and I agree with watchmedisappear: even though it almost makes me cry, I listen to it every day, just because it's a lovely song and Amy has a beautifull voice, by the way you guys gotta hear 'Going Under' and 'Taking Over Me' ==> Just like all of their songs, these ones RULE

Not to be the typical Christian advocate, but these lyrics can be seen as the main character having a conversation with Jesus. The first verse is from the persons perspective, then cuyts to Jesus' role in the conversation for the chorus, and back and forth. The highlight is when the person notes that while they have tried to convince themselves that Christ is gone, he is still there, yet the knowledge alone is not enough to fill the internal void. Actually the name evanesence is indicative of the ideaology of the ascension, it was defined to me as "to evaporate into light" just as a sidebar

This song is absolutely beatiful. I think the meaning is obvious. However, to me it is about a couple splitting...but she can't let go of him even though he hasn't been there for her (in the relationship) for a while anyway. She just can't let go. I definatly know what that feels like. Her voice just makes the emotion multiply!

"but you still have all of me...." wow
this song is sooo beautiful and i see it pretty clearly as a song she is singing for someone who is passed but you can also look at it in so many different ways for yourself. evanescence is doing some amazing stuff... i advise to download more of them or just go buy the album.

I absolutely think that this song is beautiful....the melody is so like relaxing and really emotional. This is a song that is for someone close that's passed away from the writer, and she's saying that the person is immortal inside her. Evanescence rocks, check out My Last Breath--great song.

The best part of evanescence is how haunting her voice is, not a track goes by that her voice doesnt give me goosbumbs. I can hear the same song over and over and every time, it just hits the spot. If she ever breaks free of her band, I feel that she has a voice that has the potential to be on par with Sarah Maclachlan and Sarah Brightman.

OK OK .. evanescence.- The state of disapearing fast.. but with music like this I DONT THINK SO. This is the most amazing song, whenever i hear it i get chills. Her voice and this and alllllll of her songs is amazing. Lies is another great song, but this is the pinnacle of Evanescence... Go Amy Lee!!

This is about a memory of a love that you can't have or be with. That memory stays and haunts your mind everyday and it kills you. That's why this song is so beautiful, I think everyone has a memory that stays in their head at one point or another.

Well I think it is about her missing someone who she loved and cared for strongly. She is trying to forget about the person but she can't. She loves them to much.

I have just went through a *very* difficult breakup. Infact I think I burnt my bridges an hour before writing this. Better to simply detest her though than still pine over her when she's with other people though, I guess. Maybe that's just my way of dealing with it, BUT ANYWAY! This song is extremely touching and is just really nice. A nice break from heavy music from someone who only likes hard rock.
