Evanescence – The Only One Lyrics 18 years ago
This is a special song.This song is one of Evanescences best songs on their new album and it's tought me so much!I belive that this song is saying your not the only one/your not alone.Like say if you said, "my life is the worst ever"! You wouldn't be the only one to say so,and there are people who have probobly had worse than you.The first part of the song says:

When they all come crashing down- midflight
you know you're not the only one

What I think it means is very Obvious.The whole thing is a story,but a story of FACT and meaning.This is a story that I made for an example of the meaning so chill out: Say your on a plane and it starts crashing down midflight,but your not the only one who's on the plane ("When they ALL come crashing down").Then the next part:

When they're so alone they find a back door out of life
you know you're not the only one.

You died on the plane including everyone else who was on it.Your family and other people's family's heard about it and felt great greif for their loved one/ones,and they probobly feel like you left them behind and feel alone.Well I don't know about you,but when I'M alone for too long I feel depresed and too much of that makes you want to find "A back door out of life" which the only thing that could mean is dying cause it's just the only way out.I know that alot of people think about suiside,and It's never only you who thinks they're the only one.Then it's:

We're all grieving
lost and bleeding

All the Familys went to their loved one/ones funeral and they were all grieving("Were ALL grieving")
Then it's:

lost and bleeding

some family's felt that even thought there loved one/ones died they're still there. And when A spirit still roams earth it is said to be that their spirit its lost between Heaven and Hell. And I really could go on forever explaining this but i'd think you'ed get the message already if you don't still understand leave me a message saying a part you don't quite get.A summary of this whole meaning to the song is:

YOUR NOT THE ONLY ONE.


this song tought me that no matter how different you think you are inside we all feel the same way about things, even though we seem so different. I love Evanescence for teaching me things people could only reallyy truely understand when they're adults welll that's what they think.I'm 12 years old and I understand more than I should I'm not saying that Im smart cause i'm NOT,but i cant understan I know why people Kill I know why they Choose to be Gay i know why they commit suiside and I respect their reasons.I just Understand...
