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 hate you.

get out of here if you hate evanescence and women singers so much. because evanescence has a woman singer. and no one cares how you think amy lee is hot and not hot at the same time.

my immortal... great song. amy has a haunting voice on this one... truly beautiful. one of my all time favorite evanescence songs.

WARNING: If you read this you will get back ground information... prepare to be bored.

I relate to this song even though the meaning differs from my own. One of my very good friends abandoned me after I told her I no longer wanted to be friends with her boyfriend because I didn't respect him. She took it personal and even though it was very clear to everyone around her she wouldn't admit that he was trying to control her. Time has passed and we still don't talk. We compleatly ignore each other even though it kills me inside.
I relate so well with My Immortal because it basically tells how i feel. I hate feeling like I made a mistake by breaking away from her boyfriend. I still see her at school all the time so she's still always near me. I'm still hurting because even though she's had to see examples of his control issues she ignores them. I dream that she has forgiven me a lot. I always thought she was so smart and shes just too good for him. So even though shes still near me, I'm alone because she chose a life with him over my friendship.
I miss you K

This is such a beautiful song. When I'm upset, I like to just sit there with this song turned up.

This song means so much to me(i am listening to it right now and have tears streaming down my face) i think it can have several meanings and just try to think about these and read the lyrics over and see how they go with the ideas.

1. A close sibling dying and becoming immortal in (amy)'s mind, i have 4 younger siblings and i can remember " wiping there tears" and "fighting" their fears! and i have "held their hands" and if i lost one of them it would leave such a gap in my heart. another reason why i think this is about a sibling or another close family member is because the beginning when amy says:
"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"
This gives a feeling of hesitancy to let the "spirit" go.

2. A loved partner. this doesnt have to mean boyfreind or girlfriend, although it probably is, it can mean a best friend. this suggestion is for obvios reasons and most people interpret it as this.

3. for mysticpoet, I dont see how this song can be a conversation between (amy) and Jesus, it doesnt make sense, a lot of the song could be (ie, wiping away tears) but some (ie. "these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase") i cant picture jesus saying. Try that is your head, "I wiped you tears, fought your fears, oh and by the way, time wont heal my scars." Jesus is a forgiving King, and i dont think he would discourage us by reminding us of his pain we cannot make up for.

Ok here goes.... It's about Vampire love.. " My Immortal". It's about a love so deep and true... one of pain and sorrow. One of lies,decit, yet much joy and happiness. She is afraid of looseing him to a world where she can no longer be. A world of darkness and death lingering around ever corner. In her hert she knows that she can't keep him near. But yet the pain eats away at her soul and she want's to draw him nearer. It is about evey bad thing this guy has ever done to her. Yet in all remembering the good as well. About how she wants to be there for him and how she would risk her life to give it all for this man she loves. She would give everything her immortality and all to be in the arms of this man. Instead of living in a dream world of fantasy and eternal damnation. So to me that is what the song is about. take it or leave it. But a true VP should know!!!

What I hear is someone who is coming to terms with the fact that she cannot move on because a part of her was "killed off" or frozen in time away from herself in the past when she encountered something traumatic. It's the scarred, scared, little girl within her she hears, and it's that part of her she is battling. It's the part of her that still holds a fear she cannot get beyond or comprehend, and it keeps her from moving on as a whole person.

You know.. this song and band are really overrated. Evanescence is purely emo.

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.

"This pain is just to real,
These wounds won't seem to heal"

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

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.

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. :)

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"

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?

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

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!!!

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"
