| Evanescence – Hello Lyrics | 22 years ago |
|
My take: this is someone who's in shock. "Playground schoolbell rings, again/Rainclouds come to play, again" I think the schoolbell is refering to a child that has died. Maybe this is the mother? Rainclouds are like the sadness clouding her mind. "Has no one told you she's not breathing ?/Hello, I am your mind, giving you someone to talk to... Hello... " This is the person's subconscious, a little voice in their head trying to bring them back to reality. The person doesn't want to believe someone has died, and is conflicted. "If I smile and don't believe/Soon I know I'll wake from this dream" She's smiling, like saying "Yea they're dead, ok." But she doesn't really believe it. She thinks its all a dream and she'll wake up soon. "Don't try to fix me/I'm not broken" She's getting mad that everyone keeps asking if she's ok, is eveything alright. She thinks, Of course I'm alright, nothing's wrong. "I am the lie living for you so you can hide/don't cry" There's the little voice again, trying to keep the person sane. This line is like the person is just kind of living their life in the moment, trying not to think about whatever has happened. But inside, she is falling apart. "Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping/ Hello, I'm still here, all that's left/Of yesterday.." Realization. She realizes she is still around, while their loved one is dead. Didn't mean to go that far into it... But Evanescence makes me think. (Geez I did the whole song...) |

| Evanescence – Tourniquet Lyrics | 22 years ago |
| To me, I think she is considering commiting suicide, and she is asking God to be her tourniquet and tie her to the Earth. Or, another way, she is asking God to be her tourniquet and stop her "bleeding" or suffering. She want to know if she can be forgiven for wanting to commit suicide. | |
