Before the Dawn
Evanescence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am nothing more than to see you there
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
If only night can hold you where I can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
Somehow I know that
We can't wake again from this dream
It's not real, but it's ours
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
The lyrics of Evanescence's song "Before the Dawn" convey a sense of longing and desire to be reunited with a loved one under the cover of night. The singer is willing to lose themselves in the moment, to forget about the world and the reality of their situation in order to be with their beloved. The lyrics capture a feeling of desperation and a willingness to take any chance, to do anything to be with the one they love.
The words "lost before the dawn" suggest that the singer wants to live purely in the moment with their beloved, not caring about the consequences of the future. The idea of being lost insinuates that the singer wants to be able to lose themselves completely to the passion of the moment, not caring about where they end up or what happens next. This song can be interpreted to be about wanting to stay in a moment of pure connection, to avoid the inevitable reality of separation or hardship.

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
Come see me at night and I'll embrace you
I am nothing more than to see you there
Seeing you is everything to me
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
Perhaps we'll escape tonight, and go beyond all bounds
We'll be lost before the dawn
We'll go so far that we'll be lost until the dawn
If only night can hold you where I can see you, my love
I wish you could stay here with me at night my love
Then let me never ever wake again
Then I'd rather never wake up again
Somehow I know that
In some way, I know for sure that
We can't wake again from this dream
We're not meant to wake up, this dream must continue
It's not real, but it's ours
This vision is but a mere fantasy, but it's our shared fantasy

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you

And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
If only night could hold you where I can see you, my love
Then let me never ever wake again
And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Somehow I know that
We can't wake again
From this dream
It's not real but it's ours
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

Every now and then, I log into this account to check comments and see how much the views have gone up, and it’s weird to me that a random lyrics video that I made in an hour when I was 14 years old is still being watched and appreciated today. It meant a lot to me as a kid. I’m 24 now and engaged and this is still one of the coolest random things I ever did. 😂

@eduardo orvañanos archer People say that of practically every Evanescence song lol. It's a good song for sure, but they have dozens and dozens of far better songs and more eclectic ones
