Away From Me Lyrics

Cover art for Away From Me lyrics by Evanescence

There are values within you when you are born. Individualistic qualities that hold onto so tight that nobody can take away from you. But you can let them go. Sometimes the bitter world takes you for a ride and you find yourself taking exits without thinking, without feeling. And then you find out how far you've come, but what is around you is a world that you never wanted to be a part of.

My favorite line:
i've woken now to find myself in the shadows of a lie i've created

I can relate so much. To shed your skin when you've realized the mistakes you were making and how you let yourself drift off (and it took someone else to help me through this, someone bigger then life--thank you!) But when you awaken, it is such an awesome feeling!

It is suicide that happens frequenlty in these individuals. And some just simply endure. But this person is choosing to change. To completely derail and get back to that place that they feel a part of. Usually it's somewhere from their past.

Personally I so want to be successful and a star, but I'm glad that I'm here just working things out now so hopefully if it does happen I can realize what direction I want to go in without letting myself be lost.
