Evanescence - Everybody's Fool (Demo V.2)

Carrie Lee's fascination with pop stars such as Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera was the inspiration for the song. Amy Lee said that Carrie, 8 at the time, started to dress as those two superstars and that it angered Amy. It is track #3 and the fourth single off of Fallen.This is demo 2 of 2.


This is about people who are fake and superficial, people that pretend to be what they are not just to be accepted and loved in society. Amy Lee wrote it when her sister started turning into one of these people. She was trying to say you should always be yourself for you, and no one else. It doesn't matter what other people say as long as you're happy with who you are, and you aren't pretending. (thanks, chantel - traverse city, MI)

i can relate to this song so much. there are so many everybody's fools in my school and everyone believes them too.

this is SO cool!!!! this could almost pass 4 the fallen version (lyrics wise) except for the midsection

("The dynamic of symmetrical social riots

Can be summed together in broad statements

That what has become blueprint for all

And all have been reduced to the space of one")

love it!

i used to want to b brittany spears whe i was younger because i was listening to what other poeple listen to but now i mostly listen to rock music and evanescence at the top of my music list not brittany spears and her damn music...........

[evfan101]

it seems really awkward hearing her say "too bad we didn't know she never was...." I like the fallen version better but its cool to see how it evolved in each step.

[XxAlexiaStarxX]

She's a genius,so talented,she writes her songs by herself,she's got a beautiful voice,she doesn't need to expose her body to sell records

[ChristinasMinx]

I find it ironic that Amy Lee was worried about her sister looking up to the "fake" Christina just trying to be "loved" when Xtina then went out and made Stripped, with an image that was anything but safe, and made a record all about empowering people to be themselves and ignore what others may say about them. Although, if it was when Christina and Britney were originally out, I can understand, even Christina said she hated the fake "All American girl" they made her do. Love Amy Lee!
