Evanescence - Snow White Queen (Remix)

Evanescence - Snow White Queen (Remix) By Alan Faria. Uploaded by LifeExit.


The first song Evanescence did for The Open Door. The song uses the same sample from White Zombie's "Ratfinks, Suicide Tanks, and Cannibal Girls" that was previously used in Even In Death, though it can't be easily heard, because this time the sample plays much faster.

In issue 88 of "Rock Sound," Amy revealed exactly what the song is really about. She explained how the song is based on "scary experiences." She explained how many nights she was forced to stay in hotels, because a stalker was erm...stalking her. She took part of the title from EvBoard, as her username is "Snow White." The word "Queen" was presumably added because of how a stalker would over idolize a victim.

Amy's description of the song:

"I went through some weird experiences with stalkers. It's weird how it works. My lyrics are so intimate that people feel like they really know me, and I don't know them at all. My privacy had been completely invaded and there were a couple of nights where I couldn't stay at my house. So I wrote a song about it through the eyes of the stalker, and with my perspective, too."

The setting of the song is so off-kilter, it basically arrests you from the first listen. It's violating. It's like the narrator is talking to the attacker, and the attacker is attempting to justify their actions in the chorus ("soon I know you'll see you're just like me."), either to the narrator or to themselves as they attempt to commit the crime.

I'm not trying to say that this song is based on a rape attempt, but the way the subject is discussed, it's very carnal ("all your hands on me/I can't scream", "undress in the dark and hide from you", "now I have you", "there's nowhere to run so let's just get it over") and there are a lot of references to the human body, in addition to a chord progression that's flat-out VIOLATING. You can't listen to this song without feeling at least a little disturbed.

@tajniwolf I feel the same way, but what does Lady GAGA have to do with this?

[tajniwolf]

I hear a song about feeling so exposed, helpless in the spotlight while thousands of followers make constant demands of one who was once a normal previously. Despite what she may go through behind closed doors, there's always someone watching; Whatever crisis she's fighting in her life, there is still the demand for performance, for perfection. There's no escape, no place to hide. Both a goddess and a possession of the people, her soul is laid bare in her music and on stage for the world to see.
