Evanescence

allow me to make myself at least a little useful as i twist and wind through yet another day. the band like the word can make one take pause and reflect upon the moment. i know i have been doing a lot of that lately and the lyrics of many of their songs give me that much more to reflect upon. to feel, perhaps, others may understand me.

most of you may recognize their music from the movie dare devil. their tunes my immortal and bring me to life are two of the better known songs from the flick. the heavenly vocals and radiant blue eyes of amy lee are difficult to forget as is the bands dramatic dark rock style. lee has penned some powerful lyrics and i really look forward to hearing more of their music. give it a listen if you haven't already.

below is a sampling of their lyrics...

bring me back to life

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 wake me up inside
wake me up inside
call my name and save me from the dark

my immortal

my immortal
i'm so tired of being here
suppressed by all of my childish fears
and if you have to leave
i wish that you would just leave
because your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone

these wounds won't seem to heal
this pain is just too real
there's just too much that time cannot erase

taking me over

you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do...

i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
