Evanescence – Your Star Lyrics 19 years ago
amy came up with this song when she was feeling homesick in lisbon.
" couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song."
I really like the new album. You can't judge it by the first single. The whole album's very different from it.

Evanescence – Field Of Innocence Lyrics 20 years ago
This song is an ode to childhood. The time in your life where you're young and aloud to be blissfully ignorant. But as you become an adult and start to learn about how cruel and cold the world is, you lose that innocence.

My Chemical Romance – Helena Lyrics 20 years ago
i heard that gerard wrote this song about himself. he said he had a lot of self-hate and this was just a self-hate song. i mean if you recall, he had a lot of issues with suicide and other things like that. the title was dedicated to his grandmother, elena. they called it helena however cause that's what they always called her.

Evanescence – Haunted Lyrics 20 years ago
okay, i just feel so anoyed right now. in an interview amy lee said this song was about the relationship she had in the past in which she was physically abused, emotionally abused, verbally abused, and RAPED. no one mentions that part. the part about ben writing a story about a little girl is also included in this song. she took different elements and combined them for the fallen version. i can't belive no one pointed out before that parts of the song are about rape. it clearly says 'saving me, raping me'. how blind and deaf are you??

Evanescence – Whisper Lyrics 20 years ago
okay, my interpretation is probably going to be completely different, and i'm very surprised no ones thought of this possibility yet:
the first &second lines of the first verse

catch me as i fall
say you're here and it's all over now

seem to be something she's actually saying to herself, as if she's pleading for someone to help and comfort her. the third and forth

speaking to the atmosphere
no one's here and i fall into myself

she saying what she has said is heard by no one and no one is going to help her. that's when i begin to think this song is about rape. as you know, her song haunted mentions the relationship she had and what the guy she was dating did to her so i think parts of this song reflect what happend. the third line

this truth drives me into madness

is saying how she going mad realizing all this is happening. the next verse first and second line

i'm frightened by what i see
but somehow i know that there's much more to come

seem to be about how she scared about what's going on but can sense that what's happening is going to get worse. the next two lines

immobilized by my fear
and soon to be blinded by tears

is basically that she is so scared she can't move and she's crying so much that she can't see through her tears. although the thrid verse seems to be about something completely different.

fallen angels at my feet
whispered voices at my ear
death before my eyes
lying next to me, i fear
she beckons me , shall i give in
upon my end, shall i begin
forsaking all i've fallen for
i rise to meet the end

she sees that there is death all around and "fallen angels" or people who were once pure who became evil and that death seems to be near. someone seems to be calling her away from all this and to be good and she's debating whether she should go or not. in the end she forsakes all she has "fallen" for to face the end or her doom.

the chorus's first line

don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)

is saying don't turn away from good and give in to whatever is evil that tempts you. the second

don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)

means don't hide from the authority when you know you've done something wrong. admit to your mistakes. the third is pretty literal

don't close your eyes
(god knows what lies behind them)

don't pretend and lie because God will always know the truth even when no one else can tell you're lying. the last line

don't turn out the light
(never sleep, never die)

may be saying don't turn off your source of salvation or safety. and as a metaphor if you "never sleep," you "never die" if you never turn out that 'light' you'll be just fine.
