My Immortal
Evanescence [ wWw.Bia2Club.Net ] 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 Evanescence's song "My Immortal" speak about the pain of losing someone you love and the inability to move on from that loss. The opening lines express the tiredness of carrying the burden of fear and sadness, and the wish for the person to leave so that their lingering presence won't haunt anymore. The singer is still holding onto memories of the loved one but finds that the wound of their loss remains unhealed, and the pain is too unbearable.


The second half of the song describes how the loved one used to be a source of light and holding onto them gave the singer strength to fight against their fears. However, the separation has taken a toll on the singer's mental health, and the loved one's ghostly existence has become a nightmare instead. Despite trying to convince themselves that the loved one is gone, the singer still feels completely alone.


Overall, the lyrics evoke a deep sense of loss, heartache, and longing for a departed loved one. The melancholic tone of the song and Amy Lee's haunting vocals add to the overall feeling of sadness and nostalgia.


Line by Line Meaning

I'm so tired of being here
I am exhausted of being trapped in this state of fear and uncertainty.


Suppressed by all my childish fears
I am constrained by my irrational fears, hindering me from living my life to the fullest.


And if you have to leave
If it is inevitable for you to depart,


I wish that you would just leave
I would rather you depart quickly and cleanly rather than making it hard for us both.


'Cause your presence still lingers here
Your lingering presence is a constant reminder of the relationship we once had.


And it won't leave me alone
And it continues to torment me, not letting me move on.


These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
The emotional pain and scars from our past relationship are too intense to be forgotten.


There's just too much that time cannot erase
The memories and feelings attached to our past relationship cannot be forgotten with time.


When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
I was always there for you, comforting you when you were in pain.


When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I was always willing to protect you when you were scared or vulnerable.


And I held your hand through all of these years
I was with you through thick and thin, always by your side.


But you still have all of me
Despite our separation, a part of me still belongs to you.


You used to captivate me by your resonating light
You once had a unique charm that attracted me to you.


Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Now, I am trapped by the memories and remnants of our past relationship.


Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
The thought of you brings back only painful memories, even in my sleep.


Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
Hearing your voice has driven me to the brink of insanity.


I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
I have attempted to convince myself that you are no longer a part of my life.


But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
Despite your absence, the emotional connection we had still lingers, leaving me isolated in my grief.


You still have all of me, me, me
You still possess a part of me, and that will never change.

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
