My Immortal
Evanescence ft Deejay Eduardo Productions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics of Evanescence's My Immortal express the pain of losing someone who was once a significant part of the singer's life. The beginning of the song shows this person wishing for the other to leave because their "presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone," showing the overpowering nature of their feelings. The singer is "suppressed by all [their] childish fears," which suggests a deep sense of vulnerability and possibly a dependence on the other person's support. The lyrics go on to describe the difficulty of moving on from this loss as "these wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real."
Throughout the song, the singer reminisces about their past interactions with the other person, describing how they "captivated" them and how they held their hand through "all of these years." The pain that comes from the loss is so intense that their once "pleasant dreams" are now haunted by the other person's face and voice. Despite trying to convince themselves that the other person is gone, the singer realizes that they're "still with [them]," but they feel alone. The lyrics show a deep sense of grief and a struggle to let go of someone who was once a major part of their life.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm so tired of being here
I am exhausted from being stuck in this state of mind
Suppressed by all my childish fears
My irrational anxieties have been holding me back
And if you have to leave
In the inevitable event that you must depart
I wish that you would just leave
I desire a clean break rather than a painful prolonged separation
'Cause your presence still lingers here
I am haunted by memories of you
And it won't leave me alone
These thoughts and feelings won't go away
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
The emotional damage is deep and continues to hurt
There's just too much that time cannot erase
The passing of time does not make the pain go away
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
I used to comfort and support you when you were upset
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
I used to protect and defend you from your anxieties
And I held your hand through all of these years
I was there for you through all of your struggles and difficulties
But you still have all of me
Even though you are gone, my love for you remains
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
I was deeply attracted and inspired by your positive energy
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your absence has left me feeling trapped in the past
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
The image of your face now disturbs my formerly peaceful sleep
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
The sound of your voice drove me to madness
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
I have made a concerted effort to accept the reality of your absence
But though you're still with me, I've been alone, I'm alone
But despite the fact that I still think about you, I feel incredibly isolated and lonely
