Lacrymosa
♫ Evanescence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can this be what you really wanted, baby?
Blame it on me, set your guilt free
Nothing can hold you back now
Now that you're gone, feel like myself again
Grieving the things I can't repair and willing
To let you blame it on me and set your guilt free
I don't want to hold you back now, love
I can't change who I am, not this time
I won't lie to keep you near me
And in this short life there's no time to waste on giving up
My love wasn't enough
And you can blame it on me, just set your guilt free, honey
I don't want to hold you back now, love
The lyrics of Evanescence's "Lacrymosa" depict an individual who is left alone after a painful heartbreak. The opening line, "Out on your own, cold and alone again," sets the mood of isolation and despair. The singer questions if this is what they truly wanted while their significant other was the one who left them.
The chorus of "Blame it on me, set your guilt free, nothing can hold you back now" suggests that the singer is willing to take the blame for the relationship's failure to give their partner closure and release them from any guilt that they may be feeling. They express that they do not want to hold their partner back and they understand that the relationship has run its course.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that they cannot change who they are, no matter how much they may want to. They are willing to let their partner go, even though they know that their love was not enough to keep them. The lines "And in this short life there's no time to waste on giving up, my love wasn't enough" display the singer's resilience and willingness to move on from the heartbreak.
Overall, "Lacrymosa" is a powerful portrayal of love and heartbreak, highlighting the strength it takes to let go and move on.
