| Evanescence – Hello Lyrics | 21 years ago |
| I agree that this is about her sister's death. She was a child and that's why there's references to playgrounds. Being a child she didn't understand what had happened. when someone told her her sister wasn't coming back, her coping device was denial. When she finally realized the reality of this, it was a huge blow to her, that's why she says that she knows she's not sleeping. It's the whole "This isn't a nightmare. She won't come back." thing we go through when we're little and lose a pet, a friend or a family member. It's actually a really depressing song, but still a beautiful one. | |

I agree mainly with sally cinnamon with one small difference. I think that she is in love with her friend and is his "secret admirer". Her friend goes on and on about how much he loves this secret admirer and how special and extraordinary she must be. This hurts Amy because she isn't all that extraordinary, she's just her. When she says: "Can't you see all along it was me? How can you be so blind as to see right through me? " She's clueless as to how he doesn't notice that it's her. She stays silent though because she's afraid of rejection. She asks "How long will it take before I see?" she's saying that somewhere in her heart she knows he doesn't love her but she keeps pretending because she still hopes that he might begin to love her. I dunno...That's just what I've thought it meant. It's a gorgeous song anyway and Amy really does sound heartbroken when she sings it. |
