This song is very clearly about Amy Lee. I laughed in fact the first time I heard the song. I had been reading biographies on Shaun and despite Amy's scathing media comments and lyrics from CMWYS there was still a perception that Shaun did not retort. I think what you are seeing is a shallow woman too superficial to intelligently conceal her contempt, and a talented and prolific songwriter way out of her league. Here is the funniest part I am an Evanescence fan and while I believe Amy is a talented songwriter and performer, she is seriously outmatched in this case. Give Shaun credit he lost his brother and has been through addiction, he is still here and facing the music (pun intended). He didn't use a media empire to deny anything, or point the finger at someone else (ala Amy Lee). Since I am old enough to have suffered through most of Shaun's experiences and I also have come out the other end I can say he has talent and a lot more character than Amy Lee can fathom until she finishes cutting teeth.
