What is Evanescence song Bring Me to Life about?

Answer 1

My Immortal by Evanescence is said to be based on a short story by the original lead guitarist, Ben Moody. The story was about a person who just lost a loved one, and that loved one came back as a ghost and began haunting that person. It began to get to the point where the person was actually being driven insane by the ghost.

So, My Immortal is essentially about the ghost of a loved one not leaving, and how it's time to move on.

Answer 2

The song has many different interpretations. Ben wrote a short story before writing the lyrics to the song. According to Ben, the song is about a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won't leave you alone. Ben dedicated the song along with the Fallen album to his grandfather. This information was from the Evanescence reference. And by the way, the song is called My Immortal.

Answer 3

It was written on an experience that Amy Lee had in which she met a friend of a friend who could "see inside her" and when he spoke it "woke her up inside." The Guitarists, Ben Moody, described it as discovering something that you've never had before.

Answer 4

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence 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

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

You used to captivate me

By your resonating life

Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in 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

Answer 5

It's about facing the realization that you haven't truly been living, but just "going through the motions" of life. It was inspired by Josh Hartzler, because he asked Amy Lee if she was really happy, and she realized that for a long time she'd just been sort of going through life without really living it, and that she wasn't happy.
