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 really love this song. In my opinion, it is beautiful, though I like the Fallen version better than the one they play with the video. Ben Moody did write it, but Amy Lee said that to her it meant "When you feel like you’ve dwelled on someone that’s gone for way too long and you feel almost haunted by the memory and it’s when you’re at the point you’re not wishing they were back anymore but asking for the presence to leave you" so I think that's what I'm going with :).

To the people here that thinks that anybody who listens to Evanescence has bad taste in music, I have something to point out to you. Everybody has a different taste in music. Why else would there be so much variety? Everybody experiences music differently and just because somebody doesn't experience a song the way you do doesn't make that song bad. It just makes it bad to you.

To the people who call Amy Lee fat, I also have something to say. What does her weight have to do with the music? You could weigh 300 pounds and still make beautiful music, couldn't you? Besides, I'm so tired of seeing half naked girls who are thin as sticks shake their skin towards the camera for no reason other than to make a buck.

Look at the meaning this song has held for so many people. I really don't think that this one is about suicide. Who knows, it could have saved people from committing the act themselves. Would you rather have that or a skinny lead singer?

I don't see what people have against mainstream either. I mean yes, some mainstream music sucks. However, the band must have done something to get famous, right? Whether it be in appearance or in sound. And it's simple to sift through - if you listen and like, that's great! I just don't think you shoud dislike a band just because they're famous.

In conclusion, I'd like to say that Amy Lee should not be compared to Britney Spears in the way that was stated earlier. There is one crucial difference - Amy Lee keeps her clothes on.

End of rant. Sorry if I offended anybody, that was really not my intent.

And in my opinion, AFI is a good band.

This song makes me think that maybe getting lashed on my eye balls with a stanley knife, might not be as bad as listening to this gayness...

No, kolda1ce, you are not the only one who hates them. Why don't you guys do something productive like focusing that anger onto writing something wonderful instead of cluttering up the boards?

Normally song meaning is very important to me but im taking the easy route on this one and figure its just a simple lost love song. In this case the meaning of the song isnt important. The piano work, the anguish in her voice, the bueatiful clarity of her voice only matched by this womans increadiblely beautiful face. She could be speaking a language you didnt even know and people would still cry listening to this song,

man_on_tv, why don't you just stop cluttering up the boards then? I mean, you don't have to write. It's all good. Just don't write. Especially here. How many song meanings have you actually put up on this site? I'm guessing not as many as you've insulted.

koldaz1ce or could it be that you are the stupid one? they are not fake, dont title themselves as a goth band, they are a metal/rock band by the way, and they dont bullshit things. Their songs are about THEIR feelings and stuff and at concerts they dont lip sing thats all the real important stuff.
My Immortal is a very beautiful song and everyone should love it.

fat emo girls exist only because fucktards like you insult them and errode their nonexistant self-esteem and they sadly don't have the ability to ignore your degrading comments. we're straying from the topic. what this song means to me:

i think it's pretty explicit. she's sad that someone's left her. not literally but on an emotional level ("though you're still with me i've been alone all along
i've been alone all along"). what i find significant is the title "my immortal". she calls her significant other her "immortal", it almost elevates him to a god-like status. and it expresses huge irony: immortal means everlasting, yet this is about someone's who's left, who's quite the opposite of everlasting. i think this demonstrates beyond just amy's pain, but her cynicism and bitterness as well.

fat emo girls exist only because of bands like this one. i'm not sure "fucktards" like me just make fat emo girls. emo is the most popular type of music because of all the dorks on mtv and since everybody listens to what ever mtv tells them they all obey. all the emo girls just go to the mall too much and spend way too much time in the food court. and that is how a fat emo bitch is born

You know, for somebody so anti-MTV, you seem to be judging a lot of the talent on the media projected 'perfect' body.

are you fucking kidding me? i'm projecting the perfect body? no such thing. i just fucking hate fat people. i don't think anyone likes fat people, they eat all your food and they take up space that could be used by someone else. i don't project the perfect body what so ever you dip shit. i don't bench press, i don't work out everyday like the "perfect body" shit you talk about. it's called self control not to eat as much as you emo rabid elephants.

are you kidding man on tv? I sure hope so.. anyways. Amy Lee isn't fat, shes average. Whats it matter even if she was fat? She has a great voice, and since you hate fat people go drool at yourself in the mirror. Tell yourself how damn beatiful you are and go listen to your stupid rap music. Or, your 'harcore rock'. Oh I'm so cool cause I don't like Evanscence and I'm gonna call Amy Lee fat. You know what, nobody listens to what MTV tells you to. MTV is like rap and r&b central and I'm not a big fan of that. OH yeah, and if you DO like rap. I'm sorry that shes not good enough to talk so fast you can't understand her.

Anyways, this isn't my favorite song. But I guess its okay, I don't listen to it as much as I used to. Guess it weared off on me.
