My Immortal
Evanes cence 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 lyrics of "My Immortal" by Evanescence are undoubtedly poignant and heart-wrenching. The song is about the deep emotional pain of loss and the lasting effects it can have on a person's life. The lyrics begin by expressing a desire to be free from the pain and sadness that the writer is experiencing. The writer is begging for the presence that has caused this pain to leave, yet it still lingers and haunts them. They feel trapped and burdened by the loss, which leaves a deep wound that won't seem to heal.


The chorus of the song describes the writer's devotion to the person they have lost. They were there to wipe away their tears and fight away their fears. They held their hand through all the years, and even though they are gone, they still have all of them. The pain of loss and the writer's memories of their loved one are so vivid that they seem to be with them still. Although they try to convince themselves that they're gone, the writer realizes that they've been alone all along.


The verses of the song describe the memories of the life they shared with their loved one, the pain they feel in their absence, and the emotional burden that their loss has left behind. The lyrics powerfully convey the feeling of being haunted by memories of someone who has passed. The song is evocative and deeply emotional and, as a result, has become a classic in the modern canon of sad songs.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm so tired of being here
I am exhausted of staying in this place.


Suppressed by all my childish fears
My anxieties that are of childish nature keep me from manifesting myself.


And if you have to leave
In case you must depart,


I wish that you would just leave
I hope that you will leave without delay.


'Cause your presence still lingers here
Since you are no longer here, your essence remains.


And it won't leave me alone
It refuses to abandon me.


These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
These injuries cannot recover; this agony is exceedingly genuine.


There's just too much that time cannot erase
Countless things that can never be erased by time.


When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
Whenever you wept, I'd remove all your tears.


When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
When you were frightened, I'd battle all your fears.


And I held your hand through all of these years
And I've been with you all this while.


But you still have all of me
You still control all of me.


You used to captivate me by your resonating light
I used to be entranced by your illuminating energy.


Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Presently, I'm confined by the life you abandoned.


Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your image torments my previously enjoyable dreams.


Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
Your voice caused me to lose all rationality.


I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
I made an effort to persuade myself that you're absent.


But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
Yet, although you're still present, I've been by myself this entire time.


You still have all of me, me, me
You still have possession of me entirely.

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
