Evanescence - Understanding - Lyrics

[Evanescencelover82]

This is a great song, though a bit repetitive. I don't think it has any specific meaning to it though. But it's Evanescene. Amy Lee could make any song sound AMAZING!

[ellierocker94]

i can't feel my body right now.. this song make me to feel that..i can't believe it... amazing! congratulations to evanescence!

[stupidstuff4562]

This is one of my favorite songs

[sammichyy]

You give me a reason to live more and more each day Amy. :)

[candyapplecarnage]

The first few seconds of this reminds me of the phantom of the opera

[AlexRC113]

@candyapplecarnage I used that movie in my vid. You can check it out in the vid response section. Not trying to spam or anything, just sharing the love.

[Amandastill]

It seems like her songs play along with my life, scarily in chronological order... her voice is so powerful and because of the aforementioned coincidence, i know her lovely voice is always going to be there for me when I need her music to keep me grounded.

[dulcecortez1234]

lovely song. she's cool.

[BloodedWolfFang]

23 dislikes! how can someone hate this beautiful song?

[LaraCroftFan1011]

Most of her songs explain alot about my life, especially "My Immortal", "Like You", and a bit of this beautiful song. I had watched alot of the things i love die...it scarred me too much...This is what i also listen to on my Ipod. It helps soothe my heart.

[hcosbon]

perfect..



[IrelandMuayThai]

First song I heard by her, haha I couldn't remember the name of it and almost had a heart attack 'cause I know if I look it up on youtube, no matter what "My Immortal" will show up.

[TheMaddafukka]

Dafuq, Im watching random Evanescence songs right now, discovered songs i didnt know about. Scumbag wikipedia and evanescenceDOTcom doesnt show all their songs. where do i find them so i know what to search for?

[MsHotHalo]

Ermmm...Random thought.... But this song reminds me off Jaob Black (From Twilight)...

O-k-a-y...

[DEMY160]

if people could cry their problems away, my life would be beyond perfect.

[sexyangel1231]

i've had a lot of problems lately in me life, there is only ONE person that is keepin' me goin'... if he wrnt there...consider me dead... him and Amy Lee r keepin' me goin', they both have me heart...<3 I Love You...

Thankyou for everything :')

[993nicole]

"the imprint is always there. Nothing is really forgotton." I love that part!

[SweetHeartEzme]

I cry to the sound of her voice in this kind of music, in a good way tho...

[10015322]

i have nothing to live for... i've suffered to much to handle... i have no emotion nor feeling... but this song is the only song that i can feel. :(

[TheFragileasglass]

@10015322 How true...

[TheTopEvanescent]

@TheHihi555 Omg. That's EXACTLY the same as me. When I was like 7, I was watching MTV and I remember seeing all the snow and Amy on the piano, must of been Lithium. And I loved it. Evanescence helps with every mood and everything, I'm 13 too and whenever I feel down I can depend on Evanescence to make me feel better.

[cielXD224]

love this!!

[butters2311]

This song gets me say how I feel with my girl love this song nd yea I'm a guy tat listen to this type of music once in a while but idc

[GothicHauta]

@butters2311

nothing wrong with being a guy and listening to this music..

[TheHihi555]

Ugh I fucking adore this song, I love everything about Amy, nothing will ever change that. I remember as a little girl I when "My Immortal." came on the radio I would say "Mummy who sings this song." now I'm 13 with more problems and scars than I can count, and depend on her for my sweet life.

Thank-you Amy..

[4evaflyleaf]

this makes my body rock and shutter my goodness

[Vholger]

You still beat in the deepest inside of my heart...

[miniproduccion]

the first song of evanescence lml

[xiheartevanescencex]

When I listen to Evanescence I get this strange feeling in my stomach....like butterflies.. I always tear up <3

[yco67]

an image would be nice..

[AlexRC113]

@yco67 I'm working on a video, filled with lots of great related images.

[yco67]

@AlexRC113 cool..

[bleachdragon88]

Damn,I love all of their early songs! They have such great lyrics and are full of so much emotion, you can just hear it Amy's voice. Also I like the sometimes bad quality of the sound.It takes me back to the 90's and makes me imagine them in a garage recording stuff :)

[jeenashirkey04]

fits meh dead bf perfectly. ik he'll leave meh. ly dylan

[misscourtney3472]

That's the longest Amy Lee song I've heard!

[bleachdragon88]

@misscourtney3472 it's a rock ballad,so it's long :)

[brunettegirl1]

when was this song published?

[gothbuffy1]

@brunettegirl1 i think 1998, but I'm not quite sure

[tokitha1]

nomaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



[XxMissYouBabyXx]

This song used to be what I thought about a man I loved who had a girlfriend now that after 6 months of painful patience I finally have him. This song got me through it. <3

[kalina12341]

when i first heard this song i thought i was freaky then i got hooked on this song lol gotta love evanescence with their freaky yet good songs

[xxxxBDxxxx1]

This song is so awesome. So beautiful. Just amazing

[bellapotter123]

amazing song!

[ericairisheyes]

I wish that you had lived and I had died for you, but I didn't. You were the one that died, and even though you're gone, I'm still in love with you. But I don't want to be. I want to love, and laugh, and feel, and close my eyes without seeing you. You thought death would be painless, but it wasn't. Not for the people you left behind. So, I'm begging you. Please just let me go. Let me go....

[JaydenChaos]

this song is sooo good, although i always thought it was "please don't hate me because i'm dying too'' didn't realise it was something else xD

[wnxrose]

Sometimes I wish Amy wouldn't write such depressing songs...her songs really, really, REALLY HURT....they're so sad...and they rip me to pieces. Gosh, they make me cry.

[EmpathWolfGirl]

Any god you believe in will help you. But in my religion, you believe in yourself. Our gods and goddesses will support you, but they aren't going to catch you when you fall. But they will help you get back up again.

Point is, pick yourself up when you fall, believe in yourself, and even if you are an atheist, this philosophy should work just fine you too.

[monkeyz971]

What dislike bar?

[amber36571]

Jason,

I miss you and wish i could i have stopped you it's hard to deal with alot since you killed yourself i started cutting again i dropped everyone from my life but no matter what i love you ....wish i could have saved you as i did with my friends and my girlfriend... </3

[xLoveAngelxYashleyx]

@amber36571 I'm very sorry for your loss.

[Popteart]

One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

[mymybrown]

this song makes me cry and i love it

[emoluvblackrose]

I miss you...Love...You die daily...

[KNLA5899]

And this is why I love Amy Lee!! She is such a kick-ass singer!!!:)

[laurazwags]

This is such a deep song on so many levels. I have listened to it many times, but this is the first time the meaning truly struck me. Beautiful, but sad.

[Linda2032]

What's the font's name?

[Linda2032]

I really feel this song...and I cry

[MrPascual1989]

[loukiajr]

ONLY THIS SONG WILL KEEP ME ALIVE!

[KittyCat83600]

[MrKileyJ114]

i love gothic

[MrKileyJ114]

I love this song so much it helps me through my darkest hours

[meowmeowkittykatjr]

i know u cant cry it all away but ive tried so hard to cry my self of all the pain of losing my step father at 8 years then my uncle and great grandmother ( on my real dads side) and then again in 2007 when i lost both my friends and then the death of my memaw (moms side) i just want the pain to melt away and im living my life for them .

[kaylathedark]

@meowmeowkittykatjr It is always hard to lose someone you love, who dies.... But it's harder to lose someone you love, who lives....

[GoVIPodbye]

woooow how its great song i like it

[kingdomheartsgirl111]

Ich liebe dies Song!

[dancerforlife194]

All of their pre-fallen songs, like Understanding, Solitude, Where Will You Go, and Exodus, are some of their best work. Definitely a lot better than the stuff they just released.

[awesomepurplesprite]

@dancerforlife194 I disagree with you. however, we are all entitled to our own opinions and i respect your opinion.

[bleachdragon88]

@dancerforlife194 Yes,pre-Fallen is definitely some of their best work.But I have to disagree also,that it doesn't really beat out their new stuff. I would say it's better than the Open Door though. I consider that to be their low point,but I still LOVE all of it!

[funfangtasia90]

Amazing lyrics.. I can't describe my feelings for Evanescence, Amy, and for this incredible song... they saved my life.. Thank you for everything!! :')

[nolla454]

You hold the answers deep within your own mind. Consciously, you've forgotten it. That's the way the human mind works. Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain, we reject it. We erase it from our memories. But the imprint is always there.

[Irgendwann08]

"But the imprint is always there....

Nothing is ever really forgotten....!"

[tehya95]

"I feel alone and we're not together, and that is real." </3

[peoniesfleur]

beautiful song

[emeraldvengeance555]

this speaks to me...my top fav from them:)

[bfmikee]

This song is the best one i heard. And Broken ft seether

[Anonimolino]

@UnHollyMary666 Search for more Evanescence music, ill asure you there will be another songs you will like...

[ramp00]

this is the Evanescence that i have admired! this is where they're UNTOUCHABLE. their greatness...

[Anonimolino]

@ramp00 so true, my friend, so true. I'll just enjoy their old music and forget this new album.

[ramp00]

@Anonimolino me too. was too disappointed with their new one.

[EvilBlakBunny]

I can't get enough of this song even if it is a '7-minute cheesy goth anthem' xD

[suicidesucks08]

@EvilBlakBunny this seven mins is more important then your exsistance....

[jennfreak2]

Touches the broken heart...

[Immortal94able]

I miss everything about you..i love you and it hurts so much that i can't have you,i can't forget this we had..i can't bury the moments,how i need to tell you the way i feel..but i'm afraid you won't listen..and then i won't be able to handle the pain..i will always hope that someday maybe you'll be with me,close to me..don't forget me..

[IheartEvanescence7]

#1 favorite Evanescence song of all time...so haunting and beautiful...the spoken parts in this song, are from the movie When A Man Loves a Woman..love it!!

[joinmeinhell07]

@IheartEvanescence7 thank you for the reference very very much

[DEMY160]

WHERE THE F*CK IS THIS ON ITUNES????

[iTrollThis]

Such an underrated song.

[suckerforromance234]

Loving you is destroying me..

[dimdcula]

@suckerforromance234 i know how u feel :'(

[HeyDudeWelcomeToHell]

@suckerforromance234

I know this feeling.. -.- :(

[mynameisleoandiamemo]

Everytime I see you, I have to fight the memories coming back. Then I see you with her, and I have to walk away. No matter what happens, I'll always love you. <3

[kaarankin69]

Wow this song is so haunting, scarey, suicidal, and depressing

[Nairyne]

@kaarankin69 Oh, Do you mean PERFECT right?

[TwilightCoven12]

Ben Moody actually wrote this.It's amazing though.I was shocked when i found out she wrote

[mesha4598]

when i listen to this video, my body locks, i find myself not breathing, and my eyes fill with tears. Those tears of beauty, meening, contentment. All the black, mascara run tears, have no meening. I ereased them from my mind, but there still engraved within my soul

[TheSYNIN]

If something happened to me!!! I promise you my love... Ill never leave you aloneeeee!!! Neverrrrrrr!!! Everrrrrrrrrrr!!!

[TwilightCoven12]

Please don't be afraid when the darkness fades away,The dawn will break the silence screaming in our hearts.My favorite quotes from this song

[alessiodegiulli]

Thanks to who wrote the lyrics!

[OOneDDoveDDown]

I don't know why but the way Amy sings the word "Yeah" at 5:23 is incredibly attractive.

[IMMORTALGIRL4]

The realization she makes in the song is so stupid and lacking

[Atravessada]

This is my very favorite song. "The pain that grips, the fear that binds you...", it's so beautiful... The next song I love the most is Fly me to the Moon.

[ApocalypticLacrymosa]

Shame we hide our eyes...

[emoluvblackrose]

Oh Loving Hate...

[CarnageKing13]

I may not believe in God. But I still have a lot of faith that my soul will one day heal. Even though I'm laying on the ground, with my hands up high, I'll wait for you to grab my hand to help me up.

[heart54489]

Dear people, when in hard times know you are not alone God is with you even if you do not know him yet he loves you and will help you through your trials in life. All who dont know him all you have to do is ask our lord and savior into your lives and ask for forgiveness for your sins he will never forsake you.

[aaronrulzmetal1]

@heart54489 wrong

[woofwoof747]

@heart54489

What sucks is at times it doesn't feel like he is.

[BehindTheSea7]

Dear dad,

I think about you all the time, and deep down I know you never meant to hurt me but it's hard to realize that when you can't even pick up the phone and call me. By the way, I don't know if you noticed but we haven't talked in a year, not even on holidays or my birthday -/3 I just want you to know that I still love you no matter what and I will always be your little girl...even if you don't think I am

[heart54489]

@BehindTheSea7 God bless you

[bosta622]

@BehindTheSea7 QUE LINDO SUA MENSAGEM LINDO

[bosta622]

Responder a este vídeo... جميلة جدا مصاصي الدماء نوع الموسيقى أخذ هذا النبيذ على جبال عالية بل في العالم كله

[xxxcoolchickxxxxx]

@BehindTheSea7 Really?? Then I admire your views. I fucking hate my dad.

[funkyfranx]

@BehindTheSea7

Why would you post that on a youtube video?

[althemafiia]

@funkyfranx so can get thumbs up

[EvFansOfficle]

@funkyfranx Shes just posting that commet to make those who feel they are not alone. So you don't have to get your panties in a bunch. how would you feel if you were in the same spot as her? .I bet you would feel horrible not having a dad in your life so next time just think before posting something. My opinion.

[XxGothLolixX]

@funkyfranx It's so others in that situation can feel that they're not alone.

[KNLA5899]

@BehindTheSea7 I know how you feel.I was raised by a man who I believed was my dad but wasn't.I found out last year about my real dad and then the man who raised me stop tlking to me.I haven't talked to him in almost a year.I still love him but it's hard to.Just keep you head held up high and hope for the best.

[DarkStar76543]

Why can this not be sold on iTunes??? Like Lies! Its not on iTunes!!

[lukaspiojo]

Che qué al pedo que están esta nueva implementación de youtube ( reacciones)

Evanescence lo mejor del mundooooooo!!! GREAT BANDA

[hardingcynthia02]

Regrets are a waste of time. Sucide is a perminate answer to a tempary problem. Look to Jesus for answers. life is hard, you got to roll with the punches, and give it to God. Then you will be all right. God is the answer to pain,hopelessness,and despair.

[ApocalypticLacrymosa]

@hardingcynthia02 I guess us athiests are screwed.

[heart54489]

@ApocalypticLacrymosa You dont have to be. God loves you too

[PPINO123]

We're supposed to try to be real. And I feel alone and we're not together. And that is real.

Why can't he see I'm alone.....?

[amyleerox999]

LOVE THIS SONG! But can someone explain the people talking in it??? I dont really get that part...

[JUBJUB211]

@amyleerox999 I can't tell you what they mean, But the first part of the song came from the movie "Terror in the haunted house". And he other two parts of the song came from the movie "When a man loves a woman". :)

[amyleerox999]

@JUBJUB211 Thanks!!!! I'll be sure to rent out those movies then ;)

[IheartEvanescence7]

@amyleerox999 the spoken parts are from the movie with meg ryan..when a man loves a woman..and also the song Even In Death..the spoken part at the end "people die, but real love is forever" is from the Crow

[addictedtotoxic]

Can somebody explains in a full way what's the meaning of this song? I'm a native spanish speaker i learned english and i can understand every single word in this song but i just don't understand what it means... I WILL BE SO THANKSFUL

[TheFutureIsJustice]

@addictedtotoxic This song means that sometimes we go through something so painful, we want to believe it isn't real, and we try to forget, telling ourselves it never happened. But pain is something that never truly leaves us, no matter how much we deny it. Hope this helps! If there's anything else you want me to explain, just ask. <3

[sagradoish]

@addictedtotoxic oh, I would say the lyrics are not understandable into a "reasonable" context. As deepest feelings for life in general are subjective sensations, the profund pain is part of it. Just let your senses feel her subtle words into your mind. Con aprecio por oir esta cancion, desde las Colombias.

[AudreyGolightly13]

I like the acoustic version better. It expresses the emotion better in my opinion. But this is really pretty too. <3

[jaderoseofchaos]

Sucks that the guy who helped write this song refers to it as cheesy. I thought it was pretty cool, at least...



[MsSamar1989]

amazing.. thank u

[TwilightCoven12]

Evanescence never fails to explain me perfectly in every song

[orpheus131313]

No that's not the way the human mind works.. That's the way human likes to work his mind.. Unfortunately

[flippyale12]

I love ALL their songs<3

[CripShat27]

Does anyone happen to know where the man speaking in the beginning is from? It sounds like it's from an old movie or something. Or was it created originally for this song?I want to quote it in an essay and I'm not sure if I should just say that Evanescence wrote it.

[OfShadowandSubstance]

@CripShat27 Read the description. :)

[CripShat27]

@OfShadowandSubstance -headdesk- Thank you. I probably should have checked that first. lol

[wolfsraingirl123]

@CripShat27 read the description...

[bfmikee]

My favorit song of all time..

[onFebruary19th]

Can't hope it all away..

[PPINO123]

Why does true love have to be so hard? Because we're young? That's not fair! *cries my eyes out*

[irine002]

ohh sweet solitude...

[Lakate91]

its hards to talk people about issues that i havae it seems easier to just keep them in. mostly its hard to discribe these feelings. i also dont want pther people to feel bad for me cause then ill feel worse. this song touches me so much

[AmyLee102938]

Song of my life :(

[Scarshadow100]

@AmyLee102938 I feel the same to this song and "missing" and the simmilar :(

[kiikzzy]

- one of the most emocional songs, I know. I've cried so much listening to this.

[PPINO123]

I love Evanescence, I do, but some of these songs can feel so......haunting........

[FireStar1695]

@HillywoodShowFan3209 ikr? it just...I'm unable to explain it...

[5620040]

it's an amazing song that has beautiful meaning and i just can't got enough of it 

[Scarshadow100]

This song It bring a memory that was so trumatic i can remember but this song gives me a feeling that i'll never ...... forget :(

[WantedMirrors]

This is the song that I listen to when everything is a little too much and just break down. Afterwards the pain is gone and I just feel numb.

[RennaLyra31]

Evanescense and other bands like them are my therapy.

[bluepie88]

@MusicAndWolfLover The internet is a wonderful place. Go and find some people who understand what you're going through. It helps. Good luck.
