My Immortal
ღEvanescenceღ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
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

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

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




And I held your hand through all of these years
You still have all of me, me, me

Overall Meaning

The song "My Immortal" by ღEvanescenceღ is a haunting ballad that explores the loneliness and pain of losing someone who was once a significant part of the singer's life. The opening lines of the song convey the sense of weariness that the singer feels, having been trapped in the same emotional space for so long. They express the desire for the person who has left them to finally leave, as their lingering presence continues to torment and haunt the singer.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that while time passes, the wounds inflicted by the loss of the loved one never truly heal. The singer remembers the moments they shared with the person vividly, especially the times when they were there to comfort and protect them. They lament that they were unable to save the person in the end and that they are now alone, haunted by memories of what used to be.


The final lines of the song bring everything together, expressing the idea that the person who has left still has a hold on the singer. Despite the pain and loneliness, the singer knows that they will always hold onto the memories of the person they loved.

Suppressed by all my childish fears
My irrational anxieties and worries are holding me back and preventing me from moving forward.


And if you have to leave
If you must depart from my life,


I wish that you would just leave
I desire for you to exit without causing any more pain or leaving a lasting effect on me.


'Cause your presence still lingers here
Your memory remains and pervades my life, even after you're gone.


And it won't leave me alone
I cannot escape the memories of you and the impact you've made on my life.


These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
The emotional hurt and suffering I feel is intense and shows no signs of receding.


There's just too much that time cannot erase
Some experiences and memories are so potent that they cannot be erased by the passage of time alone.


When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
I was there for you in your moments of vulnerability and tried to ease your pain.


When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I tried to protect you and eradicate any worries or apprehensions that were causing you distress.


And I held your hand through all of these years
I stood by your side and supported you throughout all the time we spent together.


But you still have all of me
Though you may be absent physically, I am still emotionally and mentally tied to you.


You used to captivate me by your resonating light
I was drawn to your charisma and infectious energy.


Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your absence and the legacy you left in my life have trapped me in emotional turmoil.


Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
The memories we shared now invade my once happy memories and contribute to my pain.


Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
The sound of your voice and your modes of communication drove me to lose touch with reality and order.


I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
I've made various attempts to convince myself of your absence and the need to move on.


But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
In spite of your absence, I still feel plagued by your memory, and it reinforces my loneliness.


You still have all of me, me, me
Your hold over me remains strong, and it feels like an integral part of my identity.

LYRICS

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 light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
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

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
And 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, I'm alone

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
You still have all of me ah, me ah, me ah
