Evanescence - Field Of Innocence - Lyrics

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
- Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges
Based on a poem written by Ben Moody. He's also reading it in the background. A slowed-down sample from the song is known as Demise.
The female vocal ensemble is composed of Suvi Petrajajvri, Sara Moore, Catherine Harris, and Samantha Strong.
The Latin chanting repeated throughout the song was not written by Evanescence. It is a snippet from the song "Morning Hymn" from the Preludium of the Broadway version of Sound of Music. According to MutantQuasar, an Evboarder, the Latin translated to English means:
O Jesus, King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable!
in whom all joys are found!
Ben's poem:
As the years pass by before my face
As wars rage before me
Finding myself in these last days of existence
This parasite inside me I forced it out
In the darkness of the storm
Lies an evil
But it's me

“Unexpressed emotions never die; they are buried alive, and will emerge again later in uglier ways.” -Sigmund Freud
It's tragically funny how fast we wish to grow up and only to realize when we do how much we wish to be children again
Felt that
Damnn this hit me hard 😢😢
sooooooooooooo true I wanted so hard to become 12 once I was 13 I was sad I was too old... I am 31 and I am sad and I mean sad at every birthday.....
Absolutely true, especially when realizing that things don’t go as we want them to be all the time
😭
I'm a writer. I write horror and violent stories, and i'm very happy. People sometimes ask me how I can think of such dark things if I'm so happy. I tell them that imagining a terrible, evil world can make the one we live in seem better
The biggest same on Earth
Ummm we DO live in a terrible, evil world lol. Tell them u write realism
BOI
Can you name some of your stories? Would love to read them
it's bad to lose your innocence
it hurts even worse to have it ripped away from you.
the sun hasn't been warm for ages.
😭💔
The sun isn't warm, it's hot.
@@boysponge705 got em
the sun is insanely hot what the heck are ya even talkin about?
But it is always there when you are ready.
I miss the days when everything was fine and nothing was wrong.
me too, now all day is grey
Every cloud has a silver lining
Why you look sad, i about the hard life?, or we need to look forward and do whatever we gonna do or just do what make us happy.The most important is the good company, health and love.
love does not exist
I hope u are fine now
I’m a depressed adult, that was a shining child.
I had a golden heart, I talked to anyone. I wanted everyone to be my friend, I was the daughter every mom and dad wished for, life was light, cheerful and worth living!
Nowadays my parents and I broke relations, and I’m just a stranger living in their house. Life seems to be not worth living anymore, you know? The lightness of life just turned into a heavy burden.
I think the breakdown of my life was between 2011-2014. I discovered the human cruelty. I was bullied by childhood friends. They said the most cruel things about me: I was stupid, fat, ugly, retarded, a slut... the bullying got worse until they failed school and I moved in to the next grade. Then a guy I crushed manipulated me into having sex with me. He nearly got what he wanted (I was 12 at the time and didn’t know how that stuff worked)
I was destined to be a much better human being. I was supposed to be the nicest and shiniest adult. Cruel people kill the good children inside us
And all that’s left behind are living empty shells
Hi I know this is late but I am so sorry to hear that even tho we are strangers I love u keep ya head up for them brighter days
your life mirrors mine almost exactly. you are not alone. we are all around and even so close to you without you knowing. your empathy may feel like a curse but its the one thing you have in abundance that most do not. its what makes you so special and powerful. learn to use your gift. stay strong. i know you can do it!
I'll pray for you.
"... living empty shells...." That's...so accurate it hurts
we are all to support your back you are he best ever dont let anything let you down you are better human than any other i will pray for you
Can we just appreciate the absolute beauty that is the intro to this song? I can’t get enough of it.
Surely no one says this about their saddest song, but “Field of Innocence” takes the number 1 on the saddest song I’ve heard. It’s not even about death or any other traumatic event, but the delivery is what matters the most to move someone to tears. The rawness of the demo recording and the Latin choir were some of the contributions for displaying the most intense sorrow imaginable in a song.
the whole origin album is spine-chillingly sorrowful
This song is gut wrenching for me
This song is designed to fuck with your emotions. It sums how I'm feeling as an autistic adult.
You said it perfectly. I even listen to this song in times of happiness to rediscover those emotions and help understand myself better.
I literally thought, "I want the warm sun on my back" because I am sitting outside and it reminded me of her lyric.
Though happiness is rare in life, when you are, reflect on when you weren't and you can learn how much stronger you have become by overcoming those past horrible times
I will never get bored With evanescence😍😍😍
Same 😍
So true.
Same here
True 😍❤️

Childhood innocence is almost sacred to me. It's so pure...wow. Beautiful song
I saw many sad comments here, so I'll tell you about the positive side in this all.
When we were children we saw a beautiful and colourful world. We wanted friends and a happy mommy and daddy. Some of us got that, and others didn't. So they struggle and struggle. I struggled for a long time and I was very sad and lonely. And now I've decided that it had to stop. I don't need "friends" nor a happy mammy or daddy. I live a lonely, selfish and happy life on my own. If others don't like that, let them. If you dislike this world, create your own where you can be innocent, it's never too late to create paradise for yourself. I don't have to accept reality, just respect it's presence while I stay my own innocent child in my world.
And that world is just as beautiful as reality was for me as a kid. Am I happy? Not yet, but that just means that my life isn't over. Hang in there, that beautiful world will create itself one day.
So true
I'm glad to see you write that. I too create my own reality, and spend as much time there as I can. I'm quite happy, although by all external appearances I must appear a sad sack (early 30s, live alone, and my once bright career has slowly faded). You really don't need people or career success if you have a rich inner life.
....the song is about prostitution
***** i struggled cuz my family is slowly breaking and disappearing.... but i hope my colourful world will come :) thanks for this comment
I know this comment is old, but I just want to say thank you. I've been struggling to find a place within myself that I can call "home". Reading this gave me a new hope again.
This song has such a strong emotional impact on me. I often look back at my childhood days (I'm only 20) and reminisce about the good times I had with my next-door neighbors in the summer. They were my two best friends all throughout my childhood; they moved when I was in 7th grade and I was devastated. I spent all my time hanging out with them, having a good time playing anything from football to Pokémon video games, which I still have a deep nostalgic connection with. I even remember being 5 or 6 years old and playing imaginary games with them -- pretending we were spies or something and dressing up in costumes.
I was in a deep depression throughout 7th and 8th grade (even shortly before they moved), mostly due to my performance at school and the pressure my parents put on me to do well. I would make any excuse I could to stay home from school and fell drastically behind, leaving my other friends and classmates always questioning me why I was absent and it pissed me off so much. They'd always say "Why are you sick so much?" Or, "What was it this time?" I'd show up at class completely smothered with makeup homework, not knowing what the hell was going on and my dad, in particular, was fed up with my "laziness." Every day for about 2 years, I pictured what it would be like to commit suicide -- how my parents and peers would react. I was so close to taking all the medications in the medicine cabinet. I was going to write a lengthy note, then mix all sorts of pills together in water, so they'd dissolve, and then drink it as fast as I could. I would cry myself to sleep, thinking no one cared for me, and wake up the next morning with "The Weight of the World" on me.
I have Tourette Syndrome, which makes it hard to sit still, along with OCD and ADHD. All of these 3 nuisances are steadily diminishing as I grow older, and I'm now a fully confident, intelligent college student. I've struggled with a video game addiction for the past 7 or 8 years, until shortly before I moved into college, where I am now. Right after I graduated high school, which was no 'walk in a park' for me either, I started taking MMA, kickboxing, and jiu-jitsu classes, and I started getting into bodybuilding. Ever since, I feel absolutely great. Depression doesn't last! This song makes me tear up when I listen to it alone; now you know why. I still will always miss my childhood and my childhood innocence.
kimonap Thank you! :)
Glad that is all good now! :)
Estefanía Aponte Thank you! :)
***** I'm sorry to hear that. I actually ended up injuring myself to the point where I could hardly walk, just a few months ago. I felt awful. Now, even though I'm still injured, feel much better. I wish you the best of luck... things will get better if you just wait it out.
this comment moistened my eyes, you are such an incredibly strong person so incredibly strong...I hope life and universe has greater better stuff in store for you.
This song is really powerful! Describes the true meaning of being a child.
I heartily concur.
The lyrics speak to me in so many levels,i seriously can't tell you how much i missed my childhood and my innocence,that period of time where you don't have to worry about anything the whole world is your playground you can basically just use your imagination to be happy but sadly it doesn't last nothing good ever lasts. :'(
this song make me cry...
"Where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger"
This part is so awesome!!! I LOVE this song!
If you’re listening this in 2021, you are not alone, keep believing, i love you ❤️
2024 🙌🏻
This song reminds me of the time in my life when I knew I had to leave an abusive husband yet i was so scared. But I knew that God wanted me to be free so I took the chance and today I am a free woman. I risked my life and I thank Evanescence for empowering me to believe in myself and to know there was a better future. Thank you Amy Lee, you were always there with me.
Camaryn Loren this is amazing !!! I am so proud of you that you took this step
I'm happy you made that choice, im sure it wasn't easy.
The first time I heard this song ten years ago, I would think back on my childhood and feel down about it because I thought I was so much of an adult at 18. Now I hear it and get nostalgic for when I was 18 and didn't have all the responsibilities and issues I have now. Long gone are the days when my biggest problem was that some idiot boy didn't like me back.
This is the only song that I know of that gets deeper and more meaningful with age.
Ailee Dubaron I dont remember being innocent enough to believing in everything after witnessing domestic violence and screaming all around my home I dont remember a time I even felt like a child
@@isabellastens3078 I had the same childhood but I still felt like a child. It wasn't all bad
Ive loved someone that didnt love me back, and been loved by someone I didnt love back. And idk which is worse. Having your heart broken, or braking someones heart
Wow. Just wow. Ben's poem was just freaking amazing, and the song just blew my mind. Man, Amy just seems to understand the world in such an amazing way. God bless her.
so happy from the outside...but eyes can't pretend...sadness can't hide behind their flames
I love this song. There's much truth in it. That's why Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like infants and children.
I still remember my mother she's always in my mind and she has all my heart with her. I hope she is in a much better place than earth, a place where it's all green and all the people are much better than us because she deserves this and she's the best person I've ever met. 10 years without her and i still remember her every time i get to sleep because she was everything for me. I truly miss you mum and I really want to see again but i can't do anything please come to my dreams only once i want to hug you and say that i love you so much.
That breaks my heart, the feeling of loss and missing is the worst there can be imo...
😭❤️🩹
Ignorance is truely bliss.
Life can be so cruel
Beautiful song, I hadn't heard it in a while then I recently had a strange dream: while the whole song was playing, I was walking with Amy in a field full of abandoned cars as the sun was shining. She had such a kind smile. We were looking for her heart. Sounds funny this way but it was both a painful and beautiful dream. Made me wanna listen to this song again.
This song like basically every Evanescence song envokes so much emotion from me. I feel the Sorrow, Yearning and Wishing so much in all her songs. Particularily in this one. I think we all have had this thought or wish once or more in our lives. I wish I could go back to innocent times.
Her voice displays so much emotion, I just feel like crying...and screaming it on the top of my lungs..beautiful
Ditto.
Probably the most captivating song in my opinion. A song for a lifetime. ❤
By FAR the best and deepest song from Evanescence, true brilliance right here.. Amy's voice is just exquisite and most fitting to portrait the massive amounts of nostalgia,desperation and grievance buried in this song. Excellence.
I still remember the world ,From these eyes of a child .
That opening still gives me goosebumps after all these years
An uneven trade for the real world....
the most uneven trade I have ever witnessed :/
Oh, I
I wish I could go back to
Believing in everything
And knowing nothing at all
Where has my heart gone? Trapped in the eyes of a stranger..
Beauty in longing and loneliness, reminiscing of a time that was good... Pure beauty in just five minutes of music.
This song makes me reflect back to my childhood,and I cant help but cry like a baby, how I lost my best friend, I still cry to this day... (I was 12 at the time, 25 now.) The good memories will never escape me, and I will always keep him close to heart.
Ben's poem just sends shivers up my spine. Beautifully written. Positively amazing
This song is such a poem...it is one of the best songs of Evanescence
My innocence was taken from me ... That's why I cry every time I listen to this
I'm so sorry.
i related to this sing so hard for a decade before I realized what had happened to me as a child. I'm in my mid 20s now.
you are a survivor, be strong, don't ever blame yourself, I wish you the best♡
Lenore :(
My sympathies to you all. I wish you the best, please stay strong.
Why...Why did everything just have to go? All the times where I didn't have to care about the world. Times where I didn't have the responsibilities that I do now. Times before things were breaking apart. It's all gone now... I can't ever go back. All I can do is continue to move forward with nostalgia constantly eating me alive.
I wish I was still in kindergarten, we were all just innocent kids, it seemed like nothing else mattered, back then, the biggest thing that someone could talk about, were the biggest crayon pack, dolls and the newest toys.
I get sad hearing this song. I came to it because lately school and life has just gotten me down. I'm always sad and stressed but only when I'm alone and have time to think. I miss the innocence of a child when you knew nothing and loved life. As a 13 year old teenager, life is tough and will only get tougher. Thank you Evanescence for this song. It helps me through hard times.
This song means way too much to me. Not a day will go by that hearing it won't put me in a somber mood at the drop of a hat.
"This parasite inside of me, I forced it out
The Darkness of the storm lies an evil
But it's me "
This song was the only thing that was by my side during the darkest days. Those days felt like they would never end. In this world, even our loved ones and the people around us can hurt and destroy us, making us want to disappear in despair.
things are better now dont give up
I envy the naive, those with innocent thoughts, ideas and actions. Life totally corrupted my thoughts and the way I see the world now. How can I see anything good with so many bad things in life? As a child, I did not care for such things even though I had to protect myself every day from those who were suppose to protect me. I know life is not easy or fair to some but we have to keep fighting for ourselves to make it all better. I have to break this negative spiral that entrapped me and stands in my way to happiness. The presence of the desire of becoming lifeless is a desire to overcome, even though no one believes in me. I have to make it better for myself and continue with the struggle of life. I know that it is worthwhile in the end and I owe it to myself. You, anyone with similar thoughts and feelings, owe it to yourself too to make your life better for yourself. Don't run or give in to your inner demons, but stand your ground and fight for yourself over and over again because in the end we can be strong enough to defeat them. I love Evanescence because I can relate to so many (if not all) of her songs. I do not feel alone anymore because she understands how I feel with her lyrics.
Vinh Banh I believe that you can do it, and I understand how you feel to, if not the same then similar. A lot of people keep telling me how innocent I am, but this whole year I felt like all that innocence was draining out of me because of the corruptions of the world and all the bad things people do for their own benefit. And everyone around me keeps doing bad things and saying bad things and I don't know what to do. I feel like the innocence I have left prevents people from liking me. But you are right, we should all keep fighting and not give in to demons! I believe that we can both do that, and everyone who listens to Evanescence to feel understood.
@@melomelodie8279 yeah i used to be super depressed angry hostile terrified as a teenager and that is not how i am now in my thirties i am much wiser now i have grown since then
@@aishabhatti5309 that's great, it's good to know you've improved yourself. It takes a lot of guts to change, I'm still trying ig.
Reading this after feeling unloved few minutes ago. childhood abuse sucks. My parents hurt me when I was a child especially my abusive dad. My mom didn't protect me from him and kept defending him. The were supposed to give me love and protection.
"i had to protect myself from those who were supposed to protect me". I can relate. It hurts especially that we were just little with no power.
Once, we wanted to grow up... Then, we want to go back in the time...
We'll never be pleased!!! That's why the humans need fantasy or fiction and to create new worlds through videogames, books, music and other arts
Skyrim Fairy Tail Music Drawings & Books who wanted to grow up? What kind of kid were you? The goal of a kid was always to not grow up, to not fall into the miserableness of being an adult as time marched anyways
'cause reality sucks
An universal song that speaks to everybody .. loss of innocence (innocence so precious by the way ) and discovery of truth and reality. Discovery makes very hurt. But only lucid people can understand! Beautiful cry of suffering! Thanks evanescence
Innocence...where have you gone?
I love this song. It's my teenage years in a nutshell. It reminds me of one of my favourite quotes (can't remember who by but) it goes like this; in childhood we get joy from something as simple as the green of a leaf. But as we grow older the truth of decay and death sinks in and we go throw something know as malocholey of the soul. But if a person is strong enough, they get through this. While they may never reclaim this innocence, they get through it and gain something more lasting. For in the darkest of the universe we must bring our own light.
Ignorance is bliss.
maybe that's why some people wont stop being ignorant to keep the little innocence they have left
I swear
Before my parents divorced I believed in everything.I thought the whole world was nice and nothing dark.I was a fool.Never trust anyone.Unless it is the Lord.I never want to be like that again.BECAUSE IT HURTS SO BAD!!!!
beautiful voice that speaks the truth of life and relates to me
A saudade que todos as pessoas carregam...
E que só Amy consegue expressar de forma tão genuína! 🥹
I still remember the world from the eyes of a child.
I refuse to see how evil people grow day by day...
I refuse to see how people try to bring each other down instead of helping...
I refuse to see how our dreams are failing in front of us...
I refuse to believe things will get worse...
I refuse to see the world from the grown up's eyes.
I wish I could just be a kid again and sit down outside during the cold december harmattan season like I did 30something years ago...just sitting there in the cold listening as the winds whisper into my ears ..knowing everything and nothing at all...
As a poet I appreciate the lyrics of Amy Lee! What I would give to have a conversation about writing with her.
UnderTheStars تحت النجوم chill
Except Ben wrote the poem
She didn't write this song, Mr Poet
Ben wrote it
@@khyron96 Any wrote the song, musically and lyrically. Ben just added the spoken word part.
god, i wish i could be a little girl again. i never had to worry about ANYTHING. i love the line "where has my heart gone? an uneven trade for the real world" and also... was i the only one who replayed "somehow, it seems colder now." ?? i loveeee how unique her voice sounds with the other voices echoing. then her voice begins to over power the other voices. im in love
This is one of my favorite songs from Evanescence and I feel like I can relate to it. The reason I can relate to it is because as a young adult I still fight against negative influences that society has created like drugs, sex, murders, discrimination, and violence. I started knowing about these things when I was 11yrs old. Once I knew about those things I just wished everything was rosy again. Even though I know that this world is cruel I still have my child like innocence and move forward.
After reading some of the comments I realized that most of us seen the cruelty of this world...yeah I was just having some flashbacks of my childhood, daaaamn those were some really good days...I was happy. "Wow are those tears??" At that moment i remembered this song...I really enjoyed it, and I thought the best thing to do in this world is to draw a smile on a child's face...yeah let us all do our best to make this world a better place...yeah I know it's impossible
But at least try with ppl closest to you especially the children, they deserve to have a smile and some happy moments...in this cruel world.
Whoever reads this...I love you. . .
yes, the children need to have a happy childhood, full of joy and love. Sad to think some people never experienced those feelings even as children. But yeah the sad truth is that once we reach adulthood we get stripped of that innocence and see the world with the eyes of a stranger. We get robbed of our naivety and become hostile and miserable creatures, truly the "End Of The Dream".
Don't give up hope. Innocence can be recreated into something beautiful
Wow...this song is so haunting.. it gives me goose bumps each time I watch it
This song makes me realize what a monster I've become.
Somebody help me through this nightmare, I cant escape myself
I found myself, through Teal Swan perspective, I was just fragmened because of punishment reward system. Now I understand, where there are rules there will always be war.
it makes us all realize the monsters that were just hiding and waiting...inside us all along
Man me too
What happened
I'm crying listening to this song, it always happens, but I love this feeling :3
Love her voice in this song! Its absolutely beautiful.
I can really relate to this song. I wish I could go back to the days when I was a little kid, when my biggest problem was whether or not I got to use the swing that I wanted. Now there is so much more. Back then I thought the world was crashing down around me, and now I would give almost anything to go back to those days. They were so easy, so simple. Man, I miss them.
A prayer for the child refugees fleeing their war torn countries.
Lol you mean economic refugees
virtuale you’re a monster

The first time i heard this i did remember my life through the eyes of a child. I cried and mourned the loss of my childhood. Now I’m almost 40 and sadly i can’t even remember any of the innocence. I try to use my imagination to play with my kids, bit it’s gone. I’ve gotten cold in so many ways. This song hurts. It’s beautiful.
I still remember when i used to hear this song many years ago... since that time I had already lost something. Bittersweet memories.
I'm 18 years old. I have a lot of worries, problems, responsabilities... but I don't miss being a child at all. The only part of it that I miss is my heart not aching this much and my world not being as cold as nowadays.
I like the freedom and power I have now. Since very little I always wanted to grow up for independence, and that's the positive side of growing up
I honestly miss when the days were golden, safe and simple. No fears of the future, no COVID, no pain. I wish I could go back to my childhood filled days.
The words of this song applies so much to our present situation in 2023 it’s scary.
one of my favourite songs
2024 here still one of the best songs by this amazing band
One of my absolute favorite songs
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Most captivating line to me.
No song has ever resonated with me as much as this one. It could be my own heart singing it
I remember when i was a kid and used to wonder what depression was..now i know it better than the back of my hand.
This song brought tears for obvious reasons.
these songs are so haunting and true they speak out of the core of my soul a reason why i like evanescence so much... i can relate to their songs plus Amy's voice is just angelic *_*
When she says she remembers the sun always being warm on her back but somehow feels colder now....damn, that hit hard
2019!! And man I can't listen to this without shedding even 1 tear.
People like you are the reason I try to be nice to everyone. You never know what someone has been through until you are in the same situation as them.
One of my favourite evanescence songs. It's so nostalgic anyone can relate!
Now I see how happy my childhood really was...
i used to listen to this when i was young... all the shouting the yelling ....this music defines it all
I love how you're stating what you believe in, in a respectful and loving manner. You have no idea how many Christians come on here and simply say "You're going to Hell." Just by reading this I see that you are not only a Christian but you are a disciple. God bless you and thank you.
translate that hymn for those curious:
"jesus, admirable king,
noble conquerer,
ineffably sweet,
lovely."
Thank you, I always wondered
Even jesus himself said that he's not good. Only God is good. No one is worthy of praise than God. Only God. He has no parents or children.
@@AK-hp4rj, he has a son, and Jesus himself told it and died for us, killed by his own people, if you're a muslim that's okay but there are others who aren't and I believe firmly in the sacrifice of Jesus for us and in Jesus as the son of God, and yes, he has children, we're like his children, all of us, including the angels of course, he's our creator, but Jesus is in another level, he's God himself too, he's there since the very beginning
@@doloresgronenberg5882 God has no children. God doesn't die. God forgives sins. The only sin He won't forgive is ascribing partners to Him. Jesus (peace be upon him) was nothing more than a messenger of God. All praise and glory to God, the Lord of the worlds. The Quran says "to you is your religion and to me is my religion". And "we shall see on That Day". So peace be upon you!
@@AK-hp4rj God is mysterious, you can't talk as if you knew him, actually, we know nothing about God except for what he allowed us to know through Bible... so, saying God is this and can't be like that is wrong
I can relate to this so well, I was bullied since I was 8 I was afraid to go to school because they would wait for me. I didn't tell my parents because I thought that would only make it worse. I had to grow up fast to be able to protect myself. Now I am 16 and wish that I could do it all over but I also know that i still have a whole life to do the things that i couldn't do when I was afraid , so for all the people out there that are the same don't give up hope because you are never alone.
*I'm in awe of how beautiful this song is* 💖

is it weird that I cry when I hear this song?
No it's completely normal
I'm not who you think I am I cry to
Umm how do you know that?
No. I cry every time I hear this. Speaks the same feelings I keep deep within myself, suppressed away from consciousness until I remind myself of these true feelings... :(
No its normal specially in this day and age when its all work work work
I want to go back to believing in everything 💔 it's so sad where we live now
She has been described as gothic. Hmm! There is nothing dark, gloomy or horrifying about her that I can see. In love with this woman!
Although I've never had it easy in life, I still do miss being a child. Now I do take pride in my independence as an adult, but I truly miss a lot of things from childhood like being somewhat carefree, not having to worry about bills, seeing the world in a much more positive light, being close to my brother (unfortunately no longer the case), watching anime like there was no tomorrow, and playing all sorts of video games. Above all though, I miss all of my grandparents! All of them passed away in a matter of a few years (the most recent one happened less than 3 months ago). I also miss the days when I didn't have to worry about my parents health like I do now. I get lumps in my throat just thinking of what might happen soon. The only positive things going forward are the fact that I'll continue to grow wiser with age, and in terms of whatever will be gone from me in the future, at least I'll have memories to hold onto that'll last me a lifetime. To those of you reading my comment, please enjoy your youth while it lasts. Time is more precious than you'll ever know...
Same in my case also brother.
Although different events.A miserable childhood with happy moments too.
This song speaks the truth on how I feel now too and how I look at things. 💔😢
Her voice is always so haunting and beautiful
I love it!!
Thanks for posting this. I really appreciated the English traslation of the Latin Hymn and the lines to Ben's poem. Beautiful song sung by a magical lady. Thanks
Good days, bad days this song never disappoint..That Voice Amy Lee
♥ this song is so relaxing, feels like your in your own world, like your so innocent and brave ♥
I can relate even though I am 13 years old on some level i can relate. I have went through depression for like 2 years even though it felt like forever. I was depressed because i was scared of going to hell or that i was doing everything wrong in lige and that Jesus was so disopointed with me. I was like in 4th and 5th grade. Also my grades werent so good. But it took only a short convorsation with my dad to help me. I dont want to sound to dramatic and im not making this up but i just wanted to say that if your going through a hard time im hear to tell you that bad things have come to pass and that everyone at some point of there life goes through depression. Your not alone.
I meant life not lige
me too but i never got tell anyone yet sadly
this is real music, and I miss then :(
Claudia Vesa They still make music.
Even as a child, i could see the pain in the world. at least for half of my childhood i was "Innocent". Then i switched schools, and everything went to hell from there. I had no "real" friends, and half the people in that school hated me. The first year of middle school made me start cutting myself. But I made friends, who helped me stop. And im glad they were there to help me. For any Hell that comes my way now, cutting, nor suicide is not an option. Thank you Evanescence, for being here.
Reminds me of Sally. This has happened to her. Oh, and same with BEN's back story.
This song makes me sleep and see my death.

Karissa Aurea I agree, I also see it as the lost episode creepypastas as well, they had everything anyone could ask for. Things may have been rough but it got better only to have it all torn away from them by the very ones who created them, in a constant state of loneliness and abandonment wondering what went wrong
Yes...just yes
Feel so grateful that I grew up listening to Linkin Park and Evanescence. Their songs live within me till today and shall do always.
