"October" - Evanescence

"October" by Evanescence
Evanescence EP Outtake


LYRICS
I can't run anymore
I fall before you
Here I am
I have nothing left

Though I've tried to forget
You're all that I am
Take me home
I'm through fighting it

Broken
Lifeless
I give up
You're my only strength

Without you
I can't go on
Anymore
Ever again

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

I can't run anymore
I give myself to you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

In all my bitterness
I ignored all that's real and true
All I need is you

When night falls on me
I'll not close my eyes
I'm too alive
And you're too strong

I can't lie anymore
I fall down before you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

Constantly ignoring
The pain consuming me
But this time it's cut too deep
I'll never stray again

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

My only hope [All the times I've tried]
My only peace [To walk away from you]
My only joy, my only strength,
My only power [I fall into your abounding grace]
My only life [And love is where I am]
My only love

It's incredible how vulnerable this song makes the writer (assuming it's Amy Lee?) Because who wants to admit that they've fallen from grace? The beauty is that we all do, and I love how open the lyrics are saying that she DOES make mistakes, but wants to reconnect. Even Christians are imperfect.. we ALL are, no matter upbringing or religion. And it's beautiful how broken this is. It's something people from all walks of life can relate to. <3 Thank you, Amy Lee.

This is the song my fiance and I will have for our first dance at our wedding. We were away from each other for 21 years before we reconnected. Also, both of us were born in October- 1 year and 2 days apart.

Simple beauty, the best.

[nanobyte84]

One of her best.

my FAVORITE evanescence song!

@MissHockeyChick98 i never said anything was wrong with believing them. I just didn't believe them. I'm all for living life and loving eveybody. I just don't think I need to believe in a certain power for me to actually follow through it. I'm sorry if you happen to be offended, that's just my opinion. I'm still trying to figure it out myself, honestly!

[TheTopEvanescent]

I can't run anymore, I fall before you, Here I am, I have nothing left, Though I've tried to forget, You're all that I am, Take me home, I'm through fighting it, Broken, Lifeless, I give up, You're my only strength. <3

I have not listened to Evanescence for, I even dare say, several years now, but today I was very depressed, and the first song I typed into the search bar was this one. I'm not Christian and have never in any way felt that this was a christian song - all I felt was that it has been able to fix me, if that makes any sense, wiht its beauty. Undoubtedly its an amazing song.

[MissVidsnMusic]

@TheIsobel51 .. it doesn't make you a bad person. And Amy Lee is christian but the band itself isn't a christianity band - personally I don't feel it is about God, I feel it's about a real person (sorry for those who believe in god - I am not trying to demean your beliefs - just to explain mine.). I agree with the rest - it's a really beautiful song<3

Dear lord, this song sounds so depressing despite it's beautiful message.
