Hello
Evanescence渀 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to
Hello
If I smile and don't believe
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream
Hello I'm the lie living for you so you can hide
Don't cry
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello I'm I'm still here
All that's left of yesterday
The song "Hello" by Evanescence is a powerful piece that is open to interpretation, but is often seen as a conversation with one's self, with Amy Lee (the lead singer of Evanescence) playing both parts. The first verse sets the stage with the imagery of the playground school bell ringing and the rain clouds coming in, creating a somber and gloomy atmosphere. This sets the tone for the rest of the song as Lee's voice sings, "Has no one told you she's not breathing? Hello I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to... Hello."
The next verse opens with Lee questioning her own sincerity, wondering if her smile is just a facade or if it's genuine. She's aware that she's dreaming but still wants to hold onto this moment a bit longer, saying "Soon I know I'll wake from this dream." She then pleads with the listener, "Don't try to fix me I'm not broken." The chorus repeats again, with Lee's two voices speaking to each other. Finally, in the last verse, Lee realizes that she's not sleeping anymore, she's fully aware of the situation, and now she's forced to confront the reality of the situation. She acknowledges that the past is gone with the lyrics, "All that's left of yesterday."
The song itself has a hauntingly beautiful quality and has been interpreted in many different ways by fans over the years. Some see it as a conversation between two parts of herself, others as a dialogue with a loved one who has passed away, and still, others see it as a commentary on mental illness. Whatever the interpretation, Evanescence's "Hello" is a powerful emotional journey that continues to resonate with fans all over the world.

Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing
Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be
When we were younger and free
I've forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feet
There's such a difference between us
And a million miles
Hello from the other side
I must've called a thousand times
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside
At least I can say that I've tried
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry
I hope that you're well
Did you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?
It's no secret that the both of us
Are running out of time
So hello from the other side (other side)
I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore
Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Ooh (lows, lows, lows, lows), anymore
(Highs, highs, highs, highs)
Anymore (lows, lows, lows, lows)
Hello from the other side (other side)
I must've called a thousand times (thousand times)
To tell you I'm sorry for everything that I've done
But when I call, you never seem to be home
Hello from the outside (outside)
At least I can say that I've tried (I've tried)
To tell you I'm sorry for breaking your heart
But it don't matter, it clearly doesn't tear you apart anymore

@PeterGriffingigity
This song is so terrible:
- Adele didn't says the B word, that's not allowed in 2015
-The song isn't all about ass, that's also not allowed in 2015
-The song has lyrics that make sense, that is also forbidden... in 2015
-Adele isn't showing her boobs or booty... Unforgivable in 2015
Failure to follow that criteria has made me give this song a 3/10 in 2015
@linaaktar4196
