| Just thinking that maybe he's likening the crowd of concert goers to an army but who knows. | |

What does he mean by Sonisphere? I "Googled" it, and the Sonisphere is a festival or a concert. When I understand that, it makes the meaning of the song turn into the sensation the band feels when they rock on stage. Perhaps more simply, when Kamelot comes on stage and plays there music, the crowd evolves from excited to a Great Pandemonium. This song would then just be the experience of seeing a crowd of people lose their shit when they sing. I would like to think that it's Milton's Paradise Lost, but I wouldn't know how the Sonisphere line would apply to that definition. |

| Also, take note that the song's tempo shifts when she says "And I'm alone now." | |
| Evanescence – Your Star Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This song is clearly about the death of a loved one. "I can't see your star, I can't see your star Though I patiently waited bedside for the death of today" At the beginning she can't see the dying person's "star" possibly the "spark" in her eyes or soul, so to speak. "the death of today" a play on words with dual meaning: 1) its nearly midnight and a new day is about to come, 2) there will be a death today, this is the purpose and theme of the song. "And I'm alone now Me and all I stood for, we're wandering now All in parts and pieces, swim lonely Find your own way out" It's at this moment that the person dies, and the singer is left all alone. Everything she stood for couldn't stand up to mortality and it has crushed her world into "parts and pieces" The two walked in together but only one leaves. "How can the darkness feel so wrong?" She is coming to terms with a death and it scares her. "So far away It's growing colder without your love Why can't you feel me calling your name? Can't break the silence, it's breaking me" So far away, (the person who was dying had developed a distant expression) "It's growing colder" a play on words as it has dual meanings, metaphorically the room feels colder (IE she gets the chills or feels uncomfortable) and in death your temperature does grow colder. "Why can't you feel me calling your name?" because the person's dead. "Can't break the silence, its breaking me." The trauma of death is incredibly difficult for the singer to bear. "Nothing worth fighting for" again, she is reiterating her sense of powerlessness in the face of her own mortality. It's a beautiful song about the emptiness the survivors of death experience in the moment of death. |
