Christina Perri – A Thousand Years Lyrics 14 years ago
This song is so beautiful. When I first heard it, my interpretation was that it was about a mother's love for her child. After hearing what the artist said about it, and seeing Breaking Dawn, I understand that it's about a bride walking down the aisle toward her husband-to-be and everything she's feeling along the way.

However, even knowing that, I tear up every time I hear this song thinking about my future child.

Evanescence – Sick Lyrics 14 years ago
Corrected lyrics:

Embrace the silence
'Cause there's nothing that can change the way I feel
Taken all that you wanted
Now there's nothing that can change the way I feel

Hold on little girl
The end is soon to come

Sick of it all, sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, sick of it all
They will understand how
Sick we are, sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Oceans between us
And there's nothing that can change the way I feel
I can still taste the poison
Of every thought, every breath
I've taken here

Hold on little girl
The end is soon to come

Sick of it all, sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, sick of it all
They will understand how
Sick we are, sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Someday you'll know the pain
Someday the light will bleed through
And nothing you tell yourself
Will save us from the truth
Screaming out

Sick of it all, sick of it all
We will not follow
Sick of it all, sick of it all
They will understand how
Sick we are, sick we are
Of this bottomless pit of lies
Behind closed eyes

Evanescence – Swimming Home Lyrics 14 years ago
In the first chorus, it's "But I hear them calling" rather than "if."

The backing vocals in the second verse say "But it's really not me" rather than "No one's really loved me."

I believe this song is told from the perpective of someone who is dying, and is moving on to the other side. They still love the person they're leaving behind, but it's time for them to move on. As the person is dying, they're "waking up" and remembering that their soul is more than the body it's leaving. It's been "way down underneath this skin" waiting to wake up and remember that life goes on even after death.

Evanescence – My Heart Is Broken Lyrics 14 years ago
Corrected lyrics:

I will wander 'til the end of time
Torn away from you

I pulled away to face the pain
I close my eyes and drift away
Over the fear
That I will never find a way to heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Torn away from you

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold

And from my heart, heart
I can't go on living this way
But I can't go back the way I came
Chained to this fear
That I will never find a way to heal my soul
And I will wander 'til the end of time
Half alive without you

My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us

Change, open your eyes to the light
I denied it oh so long, oh so long
Say goodbye, goodbye

My heart is broken
Release me, I can't hold on
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us
My heart is broken
Sweet sleep, my dark angel
Deliver us from sorrow's hold

Evanescence – New Way To Bleed Lyrics 14 years ago
Corrected lyrics:

Save your twisted enemy
So you might earn forgiveness
You know your whole world is waiting
So why can't you speak?

I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything
Or just a new way to bleed?

So go and tell all your friends
That I'm a failure underneath
If it makes you feel like a bigger man
But it's my, my heart, my life
That you're calling a lie
I've played this game before
And I can't take anymore

I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything
Or just a new way to bleed?

I drifted beyond the end
Freedom, freedom
Can't you feel the ground caving in?
Freedom
Give us a reason to believe again

I feel it coming over me
I'm still a slave to these dreams
Is this the end of everything
Or just a new way to bleed?

Evanescence – Secret Door Lyrics 14 years ago
Turn out the lights
Feed the fire
'Til my soul breathes free
My heart is high
As the waves above me

Don't need to understand
Too lost to lose
Don't fight my tears
'Cause they feel so good

And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back
Through the same secret door

Look past the end
It's a dream
As it's always been
All life lives on
If we've ever loved it

And I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back
Through the same secret door

I, I will remember how to fly
Unlock the heavens in my mind
Follow my love back
Through the same secret door

Evanescence – Lost in Paradise Lyrics 14 years ago
Corrected lyrics:

I've been believing
In something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying
This feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me

All the promises I've made
Just to let you down
You believed in me
But I'm broken

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel
Wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now, I'm lost in paradise

As much as I'd like
The past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like
To feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel
Wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now, I'm lost in paradise

Run away, run away
One day we won't feel this pain anymore
Take it all away
Shadows of you
'Cause they won't let me go

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel
Wanting
We've been falling for all this time
And now, I'm lost in paradise

Alone, and lost in paradise

-----

Amy Lee has said in an interview with NME that Lost in Paradise is sort of an apology to the fans for being gone so long. It's a very beautiful song, in my opinion.
