An Evanescense Blend

There is something about the group Evanescence I truly like. They are labeled as “gothic” by most standards because their music is flowing, melodic and deals with over-coming, struggling, and, of course, references to death, but I, personally, wouldn’t call them “gothic.” I’m not exactly why I wouldn’t call them goth, but I wouldn’t.

Recently I purchased their CD Fallen and have genuinely fallen in love with it. One song in particular – “My Immortal” – has really made me look at them seriously.


MY IMMORTAL
Evanescense lyrics


I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fars
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because 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 screamed I’d fight away all of your fears
And I’ve held your hand through all of these years
But you sill have all of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased all 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 always all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
And I’ve 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
And though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along

These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain I just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I’d wipe away of of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
I’ve held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
