We all have our opnions and i like to dumb them down cause personally its easier for me so..yeah XP

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?(someone understands him/her) Leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb((s)he finds his/her deepest emotions where as now (s)he doesnt have any anymore...as in numb) Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold (his/her true emotion or self is somewhere else..deeper inside them) until you find it there and lead it back home (help him/her out in being their true selves again)

(Wake me up) (help them out) Wake me up inside(find their true potential) (I can’t wake up)(cant wake up without that special someone) Wake me up inside(find their true potential) (Save me)(save him/her from being consumed by something theyre not) call my name and save me from the dark(call them by the person (s)he really is from the dark..as in..Satan or the side thats not them) (Wake me up)(help them out) bid my blood to run(get their real selves) (I can’t wake up)(cant wake up without a special someone) before I come undone(before the fake him/her takes over) (Save me)(save him/her from being consumed by something theyre not) save me from the nothing I’ve become(save them from the someone theyre not)

now that I know what I’m without((s)he knows theyre without a special someone) you can't just leave me(literal) breathe into me and make me real(...maybe literal) bring me to life(life as in theyre real selves)

(Look at top for chorus)

Bring me to life(as in their real selves) (I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)(lie as in theyre not their true selves) Bring me to life(bring their real selves back)

Frozen inside without your touch(literal) Without your love, darling (literal) only you are the life among the dead(dead as in dead in spirit..true self)

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see(couldnt see his/her special one) kept in the dark but you were there in front of me(kept in Satans arms or the fake them the sadness and emotion and (s)he cant see theyre real them and their special one) I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems(metaphor) got to open my eyes to everything(literal) Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul(literal) don't let me die here(dont let them die in their emotion and sadness and thoughts and so on) there must be something more(more to than what meets the eye) bring me to life(life as in true self)

(look at the top for chorus)

(Bring me to life)(bring the real me back) I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside (living as someone else not the real me) (Bring me to life) (bring the real me back)

we all have our own opinions/interperation so yay!!! XP

My Interpretation

This is exactly how I feel about this song. And it sort of completely describes me and someone I know...

This is EXACTLY how I interpret this song, Bring me to Life is my favorite song in the world. I love the song and the music video for it, but at the same time this song makes me cry. The first few lines of the song "How can you see into my eyes, like open doors? Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb. Without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold, until you find it there and lead it back home." Those lines alone kill me as they hit home for me very personally as this...

@tribalwolf12 Lead guitarist Ben Moody: "Bring Me To Life is about discovering something or someone that awakens a feeling inside them that they've never had before. You discover there is a world that is bigger than just your safe bubble."
