Evanescence - Your Star Lyrics

This song was written by Amy Hartzler (Lee) and Terry Balsamo.

Info from Evanescence Reference.

Terry Balsamo's favorite song on The Open Door, and the song Amy's finding it most fun to play live from The Open Door. She used both the piano and the percussive organ to play the song using her Baldwin Digital Piano. It displays the maturity of the band's new sound. The choir once again appears, causing the end of the song to be really epic. It includes a piano solo of 41 seconds, but it continues after a second bridge (All my fears [...] own way out) and to the end of the song.
At the concert in Athens, Amy sang "The mechanical lights of Athens..." instead of Lisbon.
Also, in their concert in Paris, she also sang "The mechanical lights of Paris...."

Amy's description of the song: [1] "A couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song."




During the bridge, the background choir sings "Alma surdo, loucura, o­nde está seu alma? Loucura, todo sozinho" (Portuguese with some grammatical mistakes) which tries to mean "Deaf soul, madness, where is its soul? Madness, all alone" in English. In correct portuguese it would be "Alma surda, loucura, onde está sua alma? Loucura, toda sozinha"

Amy mentioned once in one of their concerts in Ottawa, Canada that this song was "pretty much the hardest thing [they] have ever written."

Lyrics :

I can't see your star
I can't see your star
Though I patiently waited, bedside,
For the death of today
I can't see your star
The mechanical lights of Lisbon
Frightened it away

And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

I can't see your star
I can't see your star
How can the darkness feel so wrong?

And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

So far away
It's growing colder without your love
Why can't you feel me calling your name?
Can't break the silence
It's breaking me

[Alma surda, loucura] all my fears [onde está sua alma?]
[Loucura, toda sozinha] turn to rage

And I'm alone now
Me and all I stood for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out now

And nothing worth fighting for
We're wandering now
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely
Find your own way out

I do not own any audio.

I feel this way. :(

In my true home I'd stare at the sky and feel a little less alone. Wrapped in my friends' arms. Just stargazing all night.

But here I cannot see a single star in the polluted night. :(
