Most meaningful lyrics

The classic opening verse to Imaginary, really beautiful:

"I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they’re falling, tell a story"

I think I have to agree with you StartSomething

I think The Last Song I'm Wasting On You has fantastic lyrics.

The start of the two verses:

Sparkling grey,
They're my own veins.
Any more than a whisper,
Any sudden movement of my heart.
And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away
Just get through this day


Sickened in the sun
You dare tell me you love me
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die
Honey you know, you know I'd never hurt you that way
You're just so pretty in your pain

My opinion is that Understanding has a wonderful text

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

"We're supposed to try and be real.
And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone

I agree the lyrics to Understanding are amazing

I especially love this part:

"Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you"

When I heard Understanding for the first time I was like:
"Uh, okey. What was that song about?"
and later i checked the text.

When I heard Understanding next time,
I cried cuz the text was so beautiful.

Lyrically, I really like "Lose Control".....I mean when I first heard the song, I was like " what the hell is this?" - I really didn't like it but when I looked closely at the lyrics it really grew on me. Its quite a strange song in many ways, but thats what makes is interesting

"Mary had a lamb.
His eyes black as coals.
If we play very quiet, my lamb,
Mary never has to know."



"If I cut you down to a thing I can use,
I fear there will be nothing good left of you."

great song

I love Whisper:

Don't turn away [Don't give in to the pain]
Don't try to hide [Though they're screaming your name]
Don't close your eyes [God knows what lies behind them]
Don't turn out the light [Never sleep, never die]


There's also Even in Death:

Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, any more than I do

I will stay forever here with you, my love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death our love goes on
And I can't love you, any more than I do

People die, but real love is forever



and finally Like You:
I hate me for breathing without you

Nothing real love can't undo
And though I may have lost my way
All paths lead straight to you

I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you

You're not alone
No matter what they told you
You're not alone
I'll be right beside you forevermore


Ev's lyrics are really meaningful and deep

Yeah, Even In Death has a beautiful lyric

Missing:

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

same here always makes me cry

Oh and this part of the song as well.....

And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there,

As far as "Meaning" for me it's "Understanding"

Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us
to entertain, we reject it.
We erase it from our memories.
But the imprint is always there."

Yeah, it is so meaningful... My favourite,too.

And I also love the lyrics of Give unto me, the first time I read them I was so amazed.
But I'm in love with every Evanescencesong and its lyrics
Amy's a poet!

Oh My God YaY! we love the same song, Understanding.

My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time

"We're supposed to try to be real
We feel alone when we're not together and that is real"

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Give Unto Me is pretty good as well

I've been watching you from a distance
That distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark

Give unto me your troubles
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Missing is screaming help me

Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me, not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone

Field of Innocence is screaming I want to go back

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

Lies is screaming I am never good enough

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

Solitude screams I'm alone help me notice me

Everyone leaves me stranded,
forgotten, abandoned
left behind.
I can't stay her another night


All of her songs are pretty powerful though. Yup I think she's thought about suicide some of her lyrics suggest it. I love her all the more though. It's always good to relate more to someone.

My favourite :

Why should I care if they hurt you?
Somehow it matters more to me
Than If I were hurting myself...
