| Evanescence – Sick Lyrics | 14 years ago |

This song does not at all seem to be about getting the "strength" to "leave a boyfriend". (I'm pretty sure five years after she broke up with that dude, she's not writing another song about him). I don't see it as a song to one specific person at all, but rather she is speaking to the way the world dismisses her and people like her...because she rocks out she must hate pop artists. Because the lyrics are sad rather than angry (most of the time) she's not really part of the metal scene. etc. I've noticed a lot of the time people describe her by, judge her, see her as, and base her personality on how she is "not like those other female pop/rock stars". Because the world is sexist she can't have her own identity. She can't just be that person who's always been into music and heavy metal and who sings about the pain of her sister's death and her abusive boyfriend. One day the world will see that she is a rocker and rocks out for fun not always trying to be anti-this or (ugh) girl-power that. And I think the people she's had problems with (i.e Ben Moody, John LeCompt, and her ex) latch on to those same claims during disagreements. And she's sick of the same tired shit being thrown in her face. That's what the song says to me. |
