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 is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard in my life. Her voice is so beautiful, and the way she sings it with such feeling and intensity brings tears to my eyes. This song could be about a loved one passing away or a relationship ending between the opposite sex.

"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" Seriously, that sentence makes me want to cry right now....Amy Lee is a goddess.

That ben moody and his shenanigans. And by the way: everybodys fool I was talking about the people who cry for no reason. you have a reason to cry but other people just cry because they think the song is so beautiful.

This is about death. when Amy was younger, she had a sister, Sadly her sister died, and i think that Amy wrote this for her.

this song to me means that you miss that person whos gone and in my case i would miss my mom. she passed away in october. i listen to that song whenever i miss her. when it says "now i'm bounded by the life you left behind" i believe it. i'm bounded.
anyway this song does make me cry but only cuz i miss my mom. so maybe people should think before they go and say stuff.

I just read ms. red hair's posts and I agree with her partially. the people who said they cried to this song: kinda lame. I don't cry when I listen to music, it could never be that intense or dramatic.

but ms. red hair, this isn't the most "seductive" music video I've ever seen, especially since it was in black and white (black and white porno, now that's a thought) so I don't see why you're calling her a whore. You also said that the lyrics sucked and took at most 20 minutes to write. that can't be true. This is not a rap. Raps can be freestyled or made in about 10 seconds. this is a song and therefore had to have taken at least 30 minutes to write. (I personally hated this song the first time I heard it but now I like it. I have no problem with the lyrics)

man, man on tv seems to really like evanescence, I see him on every evanescence song board. I bet he's just some wierd little kid who has a shrine to amy lee in his bedroom that he secretly appoligizes to for saying bad things about them on this website.

How much of a dumbass do you have to be to hate a band yet search the web for sites about the songs of the band such as this website. I bet he checks here everyday just to piss people off.

well anyways, man on tv is either a wierdo with an amy lee shrine or he got raped when he was a child by some lady named amy lee ( I don't mean this amy lee)

and by the way, if you still think amy lee is fat, look at this picture: http://girls.the4elementz.com/pics1/amy_lee.jpg

on a scale from 1-10 on the fatness scale with 10 being the highest and 5 being average, I would say amy lee is about a 4 point something. she's not a big girl at all, I find her perfect sized and actually attractive.

This song is so beautiful and sad and painful.I think it's about whatever you feel the need for it to be about,wether it's a break up or a death or anything else.I agree with watchmedisappear,it makes me want to cry every time that i hear it but I still can't seem to help listening to it over and over again.And the lyrics:
"Your face,it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice,it 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..."

"But you still have all of me..."
Really make me feel so EMOTIONAL,it's just an amazing,beautiful song

This song always reminds me of my mom whom died about three years ago. So much of it reflects on how I felt. Especially the lines "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 " It always makes me think how in the first part of my life that was my moms role towards me, and then how after she got sick I was the one doing those things for her. And the part about how "your presence still lingers here, it won't seem to leave me alone" really gets me. Because no matter what while I'm at my house I see so much of my mom, and part of me wants that to go away because its just to much pain...but at the same time I don't want it to change. The meanings of this song are so abstract, yet so simple. I love it.

I actually think that the bandages make references to the song. 'Now I'm bound here by the life you left behind', sort of putting that feeling into a physical sense. After all, she does express herself a lot by what she wears.

The kids playing in the background kind of makes me think about the simplicity of happiness, and the innocence that should be cherrished. How, even though things go bad, things can be so good as well. But I don't know. It could just be to make it not look so deserted.

Thank you for your reply, and I agree with you in your interpretation.
To be honest, I wondered about the significance of the bandages on her feet, but I never thought of the possibility you mentioned.

Yes, the video is absolutely amazing. The B&W brings a romantic-ish feeling... Almost like watching the end of a sad movie. I love the fountain she walks around, and I'm sure there's a significance to the children playing soccer in the background but I have no clue what it could mean.
It brought me to tears the first time, and since then I've watched it at least five times.
Thanks again!
~By the way, proper spelling is "crucified".

to dark pheonix, i would say that it represents self mutilation becuz to me it sounds as though she is longing for a lost loved one. maybe she started cutting herself after he or she died. it would actually make sense. when i first saw this video though, it kinda scared me, cuz there were bandages on her feet too, and i was thinking, omg, does this have to do with jesus being crusified? (is that how u spell it?)

anyways, overall it's a beautiful video. it's number two on my top five favorite music videos. and the black and white makes it even more beautiful. don't you agree?

I cannot believe this stupid and pointless banter. Therefore, I will go back to the point of this board. To comment on the song MEANINGS.

I think this song is absolutely gorgeous. Amy Lee has a fabulous voice and it reaches my soul as it does many others. I agree with the majority of comments that the song is about losing a loved one.

I just saw the video about half an hour ago, and couldn't help but notice the bandages on her wrists and ankles. Are these to suggest self mutilation? Or to symbolize bondage to the dead loved one?

Any (sane) comments, please reply!

i love this song. Amy is so talented she has a great voice. All the people that comment on how much they hate evanescence have no lives and insist on trying to get attention by being immature and pathetic because they cant get it in any other way. And anyway, f you hate Evanescence so much then why are you a webpage about them and their music?
