  • I can still remember the sun always warm on my back

    Somehow...

    It seems colder now.

  • where has my heart  gone??

  • I wish the innocence of my childhood would stay with me forever but I know already that it’s gone. My life experiences ruined my happiness and I lost the battle every kid wants to win. I lost my freedom to be a nuisance when I’d like. I lost the freedom that made me a child. The darkness that hides behind my eyes is unspeakable and it all came there because of the world. I once thought that there was nothing to be afraid of. I guess you’re braver when you know less. I know I was. And I'm twelve.

  • As much as I'd like to say their new stuff is as deep as this, I just can't. The new stuff is deep don't get me wrong but not as emotional as their old stuff.

  • @MrBda27 I agree, Fallen is such an amazing album, deep, touching lyrics... and to be honest I did not see that in Evanescence. I liked that haunted feeling I got from Fallen... very underrated album :(

  • I have two years to go...And I'll be an adult. Where did the time go? What happened to never worrying about everything breaking down? Remember when you thought the world had no flaws? When you thought a parent could never hurt their child? When you were never scared of never making it out of school without failing? When you had no reason to distrust the people around you?

  • @metademetra 1year from now

  • The contrast between the innocence of childhood and the realisation of reality in adulthood :'( I wanna be a kid again

  • I miss being innocent, I miss being blind of the real world, I miss having an actual good day with no sins to ruin it, I miss being a kid,

  • Ben's poem just sends shivers up my spine. Beautifully written. Positively amazing

  • *eyes sparkle* th-th-that was beautiful *cries at the beauty*

  • I had no childhood but I had for a few years the eyes of an innocent, clueless kid. I miss that. I miss the days when I was smiling for no reason instead of crying for the same thing and I miss playing those old, simple, childish games instead of being pushed around, I miss getting attention instead of feeling invisible to the world and I miss being a clueless kid that thought she will always have somene to run to for confort instead of getting used to the idea of everyne being on their own.

  • i was never a child, so this hits me deeply...

  • by the way all the posts from me are not relly me this is my bros acc my acc is 1callac

  • @alec0the0great this is my acc

  • what does age matter? really? idiots...anyway, this song is me exactly, minus the latin part. i am sooo cynical, pessimistic, and alone. like you even care: you have no need to. but still, i am dead inside, i never feel sad emotions, and feel fake happiness. im a broken person, and agaiin, why wld u care? idk, but im not the only one like this, and they dont say. jst, never hate, hate only those that hate for no reason.

  • This song is beautiful

    one of my favorites

  • Why isn't this on itunes?

  • I remember listening to this non-stop when my mom was killed a few years ago.

  • amazing!

  • What does the latin mean?

  • @MidAutumnWish Oh, Heres a rough translation a found. Hope it helps

    Iesu, Rex admirabilis

    Jesus, the King of the wonderful

    Et triuphator nobilis

    And noble triuphator

    Dulcedo ineffabilis,

    Totus desiderabilis

    The attractiveness of the ineffable,

    all lovely

  • That last note reminds me of X Files...

  • The people who think their songs are depressing like "music" shit about sex and getting drunk

  • this is better than mainstream stuff because it has meanings that reach out to people instead of just talking about getting drunk

  • this song talks about that most of the time we wish we din't know this, that or whatever, she is saying that it's not just what u know, it's also how u came to this information.

  • a world w/o evanscence is like a world w/o water!!!

  • i want to learn latin. my mom saids its useless. But i don't think its useless.

  • @BloodedWolfFang I study it (You have to do for study German, English and Spanish in Italy) . It's useless, but if you like it, it's fantastic :D Maybe for you it's difficult - English isn't like Latin, but if you want to study, it isn't a problem :D

  • @BloodedWolfFang I actually took latin in high school. Not completely useless, but not many people with have a conversation in it anymore. but its really usefull for decoding the meanings of words

  • Songs are relating to there feelings and it's Sometimes it's hard to admit that

  • evansence expresses feelings into each song and I love them but some songs I have to think about hard,especially this song because her songs can go deep into your soul and dig out your feelings that you hide so well.all the rage,sadness,anger,depress,los­t,loneliness mixed all together rises to the surface and it's so much that it paralyzes you.flash-backs,memories,thing­s that you like/not want to remember, goes through your head and some people don't like these songs because they know that the

  • Only Evanescence could hide the beauty of their song lyrics so well that only those looking for it could find it.

  • Where has my heart gone.

  • People don't like and think Evanesence songs are depressing because they are true and they speak of the real world and when you look at world from distance and think about it you know the lyrics are true and so in the end people dislike the songs because it makes them realise they dislike the world as well.

    Personally I miss my childhood. When I still thought that men that works in police are good, that love means just chocolate and flowers and going to cinema, and kids were found in cabbages.

  • their songs are depressing but in a good way though :)

  • Within the gloom of the lyrics lies a beauty so well hidden that only those with a taste for errie sound and mysterious beauty can understand just how wonderful Evancescence music is. Without it I think some of us would forget some of the small, yet important things in life.

    Like in this song. It reminds me, personally, how much better things were back when I was innocent of any sin. Be it lying, stealing, cheating...murder...life is best as a child of innocence. X'3

  • @Greenkitten45 right now gloom is the only thing which is beautiful for me

  • @Thedbzfan619 I know what you mean

  • my.mom calls them depressing i call iit beauttiful and lovley she cant see beauty

  • I personally love Evanescence because of their depressing sound. The eeriness of their tracks adds to their beauty as a whole. I LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!! Where has my heart gone? Into Amy Lee's palm.

  • tourjours beau

  • Thumbs up if you can't see the dislike bar :D

  • What does the Latin part mean?

  • @theanoxir says what it is in the description.

  • Evanescence music is so beautiful. I think Origin is one of their best albums. I don't care if it was a demo. The music on it is wonderful. I wish there was more of this in their new self-titled album.

  • Comment removed

  • This song is soo true =/ Miss beleiving in everything and not knowing anything about the world and i'm 13 :( Wish i was still naive & blissed with innocence

  • Evanescence defines what people feels. Really.

  • nice song....love it...<3

  • I hate the thought of growing up this song makes me feel better about it. Because my childhood was so much better. a little tramautic but better than anything I have to go through now. Depression, arrogance and everything else!

  • I hate being a teen... I do my best no to ask for the expensive stuff...

  • Beauty in longing and loneliness, reminiscing of a time that was good... Pure beauty in just five minutes of music.

  • depressing but beautiful my childhood was somewhat good... I guess.

  • aaaa i totally relate to this song

  • O_O ... That... it's too true :( Everything was a miracle before... The night sky... the warm summers... What the heck happened...? Luckily, I can say the most painful memories of my life aren't particuarly bad... They'd have to be those occasional flashbacks... I feel the magic again...It never lasts :c Maybe it's better to know these things... But... Maybe it isn't... Maybe if we only knew some things. I'd gladly forget how many awful things humans have done to the world, all the pain...

  • My favourite song!

  • @LoyalArthurPendragon I agree, since certain aspects of real life are indeed very depressing.

  • I may just be 13 but I wish I could go back to being a child that believed in everything and was blind to the horrible ways of society. 13 is the age when it is hardest because you're in the middle and have no way out and you can feel your innocence slip away into reality.

  • @djkimmirock I understand. Since the age of 13 I now know stuff the I just want to forget about. But even if I did my friends would have told me what they were.

  • @djkimmirock trust me honey 13 is NOT the worst. You've got a lot to look forward to. (sarcasm)

  • @SecretAgentSmiley It's when it started, though, isn't it? Actually, for me, ot started when i was 11 years old and got buyllied so bad i was so depresed you have no idea.

  • @MidAutumnWish much younger for me. 5 when I was attacked.

  • @SecretAgentSmiley ?? Attacked by what?

  • @MidAutumnWish i know you got engulfded by the shadows i know

  • @djkimmirock I agree. Miss you, peaceful days of slumber and sunshine. Miss you, worryless days where I wasn't afraid to go outside. Miss you, joy.

  • Comment removed

  • @djkimmirock i remember that year i am 15 and it sucks becaus you know its sliping away but you cant stop it no mater how hard you try i tried so so hard but i sliped slowly then one day i relized im not innocent any more and i knew it was all gone

  • @djkimmirock I couldn't say that better

  • @djkimmirock 13 was the same age I heard this song, a year ago, and I feel the same way now that I did at thirteen, the same way you do. This life sucks sometimes, it really does. I've been though alot at this age, but who hasn't? You just have to look past the dark. Have you noticed that when you're in a dark room and you're scared, there's always one tiny light? One single, tiny light in the dark can be the beholder of beauty and a feeling of safety, if you understand what I mean.

  • 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 *_*

  • I want to go back to believing in everything as well...

  • Are you really implying that just because a song is happy it's superficial? I love this song and this band but I listen to a wide range of music.This song is depressing and it is real. But songs in every genre can be a superficial gimmick to make money. Just because a song tells you to and be proud and happy about who you are doesn't mean it's superficial.

  • beautiful song ! ;)

  • I'll admit that it is a depressing song, I like depressing songs, not because I enjoy being morbid or whatever. It's just depressing music is honest and real. As opposed to (like someone else said) Lady Gaga or other superficial songs.

  • 3:17 Jesus, the King of the wonderful

    And the triumpher of noble birth,

    The attractiveness of the ineffable,

    all lovely

  • These songs are only depressing to those who can't see the beauty beneath the lyrics...

  • @Fuze230 That's right, buddy! this song is beautiful.

  • @Fuze230 i see the beauty to it but maybe its painful for most? it digs up there wounded past and that hurts deeply...

    I hope i don't sound stupid for saying that? :/

  • @TheDarkenangel91 No- I think that both of you are right. My mother once said that the answer is always in the middly. It is reminiscent of an internal pain, whether from a personal experience, or from a more abstract feeling of depravity or loss. But these things make us what we are; pain has to be embraced and absorbed by acceptance and willingness to learn, not cushioned by denial. Pain isn't beautiful, bt what it can give us is. Evanescence's songs touch on these things.

  • @ThroughBloodAndRain middle*

    

  • @ThroughBloodAndRain That was very wisely put,

    I agree Amy's songs are just so amazing they always touch my heart :)

  • @TheDarkenangel91 Thank you, and yes, you are right. :)

  • @Fuze230 I dont care if they are melancholy they are still soothing better than trendy techno music.its so nice and natrul

  • @Fuze230 agreeed.

  • @Fuze230 its not depresing at all it mening full it makes you think

  • this world would SUCK without Evanescence!

  • This is the song i listen to when im mad. It may sound depressing but i think that its more serene than anything. It calms me and makes me think that i could have it worse.

  • Amy ,ben and david, wrote songs separately then would get together with their 2 cents worth in so all 3 would get credit for it. there were songs that each 1 would write separately, but Amy Lee wrote most of the songs but ben wrote a few

  • This gives me shivers......it's so beautiful.

  • Evanescence never ceases to take my breath away....

  • 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.

  • I always cry while listening to Amy's beautiful voice

  • @LoyalArthurPendragon hey now i love evanescence........ but u love lady gaga just as much both of their music is good

  • I stopped believing in fairy tales at 5.. That's when I met the Boogie Man...But, in spite of that, I won't give up hope. The child in me fights to stay alive.. I live,laugh & love..

  • @MsBarbara127 What do you mean you met the Boogie Man?

  • this song makes me sad=( but i love it=D

  • ok the Latin hymn means... "Jesus, the King of Triuphator admirable and of noble of birth, The attractiveness of ineffable, when the whole desirable" :D

  • this song is amazing

  • agreed...alot of todays music IS shitty but remember some people actually like that stuff and that's okay. it's just simple, u can be in todays music age and throw each song out as they get 'old' or you can stick with what you want and let it follow you in your life. it's your choice. either way, i'll respect that.

  • some people say the songs are too depressing.

    i said a world without evanescence music would be even more depressing.

  • @pyrokiss1223 I completely agree. The people who say Evanescence songs are depressing only look at the surface. If you really look at the lyrics, really dig down and try to understand what they are saying, you will see them in a whole perspective.

  • yes it's true

  • @pyrokiss1223 in a world without Evanescence I would be dead and rotting right now. Amy's lyrics helped me through dark times in my life.

  • @pyrokiss1223 Agreed

    

  • I always felt older than I was, with my family always arguing and hating eachother, many who are alcholics with mental health issues, then being bullied for two years when I was 9-10. But my childhood ended properly when I was 11, my dad had an epileptic fit infront of me, and was then diagnosed with brain cancer, and given 3 months to live, he's still alive thankfully, 5 years later, but it's so hard caring for someone who's sick and confused 24/7...

  • @Danirox1994 Im sooo srry 4 ur lost & my life is the same thing to but i hate my parents because they can't seem to think that arguing can help them without the physical abuse that my father does to my mother. I hate it when he does it but he only made me realize that life is not perfect and i dont want that to ever happen to me.

  • @2VampireLover That's so sad & I'm sorry. but it's true that our past makes us stronger and it makes us who we are, if it weren't for what I'd been through in my life I'd be a completely different person, and I don't think that I'd like that person very much :/

  • @Danirox1994 Thank U & same here i wouldn't want 2 b that person either. And through all of this it does make us a different people, but at least we know these things and hopefully dont get back into it.

  • Hi.I'm 10.Every "child" in my 5th grade class act like teenagers.I feel bad for them.I feel as if I'm the only child left in my school.I <3 <3 <3 this song so much.Thank you Amy,and anyone else who helped with this amazing song!

  • @CrazyCutie131 oh god...its started already? 5th grade!?

  • i wish people would give Ben Moody credit too. yes Amy Lee is awesome. But Ben is the one who writes these beautiful songs.

  • the sadder a song is, the better...isn't that the whole purpose of the song?. It's not a happy song, there are happy songs if you wan to listen to those haha.

  • when i was 12 my parents spilt up and i had to grow up and be a role model to my little brother. then my sister died. i just became so withdrawn and defensive. i cant even look at my brother without thinking... what if i lose him too? i want to go back to when i didnt have to care. back to having a picnic with my brother and sister. back to being me....

  • Reminds me of Draco Malfoy xD

  • @strawberryEspeon Holy chiz!I wasn't the only one thinking that!:D

  • so much commentary on death...i just thought it was a great song...=l

  • *speechless*

  • Songs like these are the reason that I absolutely adore Amy Lee and Evanescence.

    It's so easy to relate to their songs, and every person is reminded of something different when doing so, and I love reading the comments on these videos to see that I'm not alone.

    Me, when I listen to this song, I think of when I was a little kid. My dad was still alive, then, and my little brother was just a baby. We lived in a little house in Germany, and everything was happy. I miss that time so much.

  • I remember when I was about 9 and my dad almost shot himself....he is a police officer and he was cleaning his gun and the safty wasnt on and it went off...luckily the bullet hit the shower instead of him..I am reminded of it because a few months ago one of my classmates dad's shot himself the same way my dad almost shot himself...

  • Every man was once a child believing in everything that makes us human n knowing nothing at all but now we became men knowing everything n believing in nothing at all #mindless robots

  • I love how Evanescence and Amy Lee can relate to so many people. How they all have meaning that a lot of people go through. Its beautiful. :')

  • I'm 11 and I can relate to this :( When I was 4, life seemed so much easier. I didn't have to deal with my life being like a living hell

  • Life is about choices and the choices that you make. You can make a good choice or a bad one. But, you always have a choice. Trust me, I had a crappy childhood myself. Abused, neglected and forced to grow up faster than I should have. I've made my share of bad choices but, I have made so amazing choices too. YOU hold the key to your future and NO ONE else. You are not to blame in someone else's bad choices. Always hold you head high. Never look down or give up. Life is far to valuable for that.

  • @abbie100123456789alt & ALL OF YOU... My heart breaks to see the pain in your words. Just know that Life is unknown and not guarantee. It's all circumstance and circumstances are subject to change. What the mind can conceive and believe the body will achieve. YOU hold your head high and keep smiling through the pain. If you tell yourself it will all be okay and work out... eventually it will. I have been down the road less traveled, it's not an easy journey. <3 Hugs to those in need

  • yep it is true, children now days have been through more than adults. my parents didnt want me anymore, im an orphan, i've heard all those news about the twin towers, the election of obama, people panicking about the end of the world in 2012, osama bin laden killed. there's still alot more going to happen.

  • @AliceFallenFox True, true. But lets try to focus on the happy things. And stay in our own field of innocence for as long as we can.

  • i love this song..

  • hey not being a retard, but those top comments brought a lump to my throat. is that really true?? dont lie

  • ahh, Brings back old memories, precious, adventerous and wanting-to-bring-back memoried. <3

  • Is this gonna be on there new album??

  • Awesome sauce :3

  • Oh how much it was easier when i was a child even though i was traumatized by some things i went through.

  • I want to go back to believing in everythng and knowing nothing at all

  • Love the latin in this. Beautiful, like all of Amy's other songs. I love her!

  • Finally a song that i can say fits what my heart felt when i learned the truth about this world.

  • Thanks for the video. I like much, again thanks.

  • I really did feel like i had to grow up fast as a little kid. I had to look after my Older sister who has autism since i was 5. My other sister had alot of problems too, so i felt like i was shoved into the background. i had to learn how to take care of myself. i dont blame my parents, i just wish i felt whole.

  • who ever said "what you dont know wont hurt you" is a complete and utter moron

  • Oh my god. I cried.

    I didn't have such unfortunate experiences as in the others' comments, but I guess this is an exclamation of people whose hearts have at least been hurt.

  • I'm 12 and what is this?

  • @MGMT1580 XD

  • @MGMT1580 THIS is a song about someone wanting to go back in time to their life before their bad experiences.

  • when i was 4 i watch 25 family members die to a drunk at a birthday party..when i was 5 i knew so many bad things that my minds was curruptid...for years i was only a shell..hiddin from the world..then i was 10 when family did a vary teribble thing..the i went into deep cuttin an killer thoughts..then at 11 i was dignosed with bad things..evanescence is what kept me alive...an it stills is the best band ever.

  • me: people wish they were me thinking my life is perfect being rich and beautiful but after school when i go home i go home i fall to the ground and cry as i hear my family fighting and my sister screaming i hate you

  • I can't really remember feeling like a child, but I remember how everything I ever believed in started decreasing slowly yet surely - slow enough for me not to notice until it was all gone. How I stopped getting excited on Christmas about Santa, how I stopped waiting for the tooth fairy to leave me some money under my pillow and how I stopped giving those innocent suggestions, thinking the world was simple and filled with good.

  • When I was 11, I was woken up one night to find paramedics going through my house, and my father crying, saying that my mother was dead.That's when I stopped being a child.

  • @JimJimmity How old are you now? What happened? Do you stil remember it..? Sorry, I tend to probe these kinds of questions.

  • @YuriHanaY

    Now? I'm sixteen. Actually in two days from now it'll be her death anniversary. Then it'll have been five years exactly. My mom had epilepsy since she was three. I remember I was never scared of anything more than seeing her in a seizure. But that night she had a seizure in her sleep and she didn't wake up ever again because of it.

  • @JimJimmity I see... Well, Hi, we should talk in the PMs. ^^

  • I wish I could go back. I have depression though no-one but two of my friends know. I pretend to be happy around my family and other school mates when inside I feel like screaming. I never feel good enough, I wish I could be younger again, before all of this started, evanescence are my escape hole, they help me find peace.

  • when i was 6, a few months before i turned 7, i was diagonesed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes. i can't remember anything from before that day. i gave up most of my childhood just so i could be able to take care of myself. my parents and i had to learn the hard way how to regulate my blood sugar so i wouldn't wind up in the hospital every week. i'm 13 now and only now getting it regulated. i have to be careful for the rest of my life. i can't have candy, soda, anything sugary really.

  • @darkicegirl4 at school i have to go to the nurse whenever i feel dizzy, shakey, or when my eyes start blurring. most of the kids at my school hate me cause i have to get my lunch before them. i get sick very easily now then before i had diabetes. before i had gotten an insulin pump i had to take 8-12 shots day. i wish i never had this disease. i wish i was 5 again, before this all happened. story of my life.

  • @FallenxInxLovexBOTDF lol nice, i didn't think of that. :-)

  • a BIG thanks to everyone who is replying on my comments and making me feel better!!!!!!!!!!

  • @abbie100123456789alt i feel much better now

  • @abbie100123456789alt im glad u found a light in the darkness. these songs by evanescence are were we come together.those of us lost in the dark can always find someone who understands by listening to her songs. and know that no matter what there will always b someone who can understand and will try to help just reach out nd we will b there

  • Haha well everyone can relate:') -Dont need to tell a life story, it's just obvious if you understand this song that you've been through or feel/felt this way(the song)-

  • @FallenxInxLovexBOTDF Thank you so much!! I want to learn latin but it looks WAY too complicated!

  • I absolutly love this song, but I wish I knew what was being said in the Latin hymn. Could anyone please tell me?

  • The little girl looks up, tears in her eyes.

    "Why?" She asks softly, innocently.

    Death laughed humorlessly, taking it's latest victim.
