| Evanescence – Even In Death Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
I wrote a Stargate fanfiction based on this song. It can be found on www.samandjack.net. Jack was killed in a mission and they're waiting on reinforcements to get home. In the story they had been married a year and a half, and she can't sleep, so she visits his body, covered in a makeshift sheet, the moonlight giving her the light to see. And the song is interjected into the story, sort of telling her tale as she begins to grieve for her husband. She was crazy for falling for her CO, but she felt it was right. And she can't leave that moment, it's forever in her head. Whenever she closes her eyes, dreams, etc. It's named for the song, if anyone's interested in reading it. It's interesting to know the real meaning of the song, but I'll forever think of it as someone longing for their other half, and bringing them home in their heart, forever loving them. It's a beautiful song IMO. |

| Evanescence – Breathe No More Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
No it made sense. The mirror breaking can be taken figuratively. Shattering what you think you know, breaking free of it, and falling apart "bleeding" from the shock of it all. I had a breakdown a number of years ago triggered by a man who liked me for my looks not for me. I had to shatter a lot of the damage he did to me, and another man came along with the same intentions. I literally shattered, nearly committed suicide, but I was bleeding inside for the person I was, before all this happened to me. I breathe and bleed no more for the person I was turned into, an old friend came back into my life and pulled everything together with me, having been in a similar experience. I marry that man in three weeks. The only scars I have left from that ordeal are a case of acute anxiety, and a bit of trouble with trusting people. But I can honestly say... I bleed and breathe no more. I was sick, and I got better, and everything makes more sense. I am a beautiful woman, but what made my husband fall in love with me in our first meeting was my mind. He has a high intellect, so craves stimulation, especially in conversations. He views my looks as a bonus :) And which would someone with a genius level IQ prefer? A bimbo, or someone he can discuss wormhole physics with? |

| Guns N' Roses – November Rain Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I was actually told he was in love with a woman for a very long time. They finally decided to get married. Leaving the ceremony, they were in a car crash, and she was killed. It happened in November. "It's hard to hold a candle in the cold, November rain" Candles are symbolic of remembrance. When a loved one close to you dies, people pull away. They think you need space. Sometimes you do, and sometimes, you don't, and your own friends can harm you. I think the last few lines are him saying to himself that she isn't the only one for him, there must be someone else out there... That he has another chance to be happy. Or maybe that he isn't the only one who feels this way, and speaking to himself in third person. |
