I know a secret<br><br />
Something still belongs to me<br><br />
I'm not afraid of those who kill their body<br><br />
For they cannot kill their soul<br><br><br />

You may beat me down<br><br />
Just denying the truth<br><br />
But you can't kill the meaning<br><br />
Of you<br><br><br />
<br />
Dreams are illusions<br><br />
They go away before we can catch them<br><br />
Promises that may be broken, dreams we'll forget<br><br />
But what's birthed in you cannot die<br><br><br />

You may beat me down<br><br />
Just denying the truth<br><br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[B. Moody]]''<br />
<br />
Exodus is one of Evanescence’s earliest recorded songs. It was released on the [[Evanescence EP]] in December 1998. It should be noted that Amy Lee plays the piano on this track as [[David Hodges]] didn’t join the band until 2000.<br />
<br />
The live performance from May 7th, 1999 featured lyrics from [[Missing]] at the end, although the song had yet to come into existence, and the song features a guitar in the beginning.<br />
<br />
<br />
''Amy from EvThreads:''<br />
<blockquote>...Its just hard because you're your own worst critic and I hear myself say "my black backpack stuffed with broken dreams" and want to shoot myself. I seriously can't listen to the verses to that song without squinting. But I don't deny that there was a magic in those early songs. Each one was so exciting to us, we were just learning that we had the ability to make our favorite music.<ref>http://www.evthreads.com/showpost.php?p=452701&postcount=314</ref></blockquote><br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
===Studio Version===<br />
My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams<br><br />
Twenty bucks should get me through the week<br><br />
Never said a word of discontentment<br><br />
Thought it a thousand times but now<br><br />
I'm leaving home<br><br />
<br><br />
Here in the shadows<br><br />
I'm safe, I'm free<br><br />
I've nowhere else to go<br><br />
But I cannot stay where I don't belong<br><br />
<br><br />
Two months passed by and it's getting cold<br><br />
I know I'm not lost, I'm just alone<br><br />
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now<br><br />
Waking up is knowing who you really are<br><br />
<br><br />
Here in the shadows<br><br />
I'm safe, I'm free<br><br />
I've nowhere else to go<br><br />
But I cannot stay where I don't belong<br><br />
<br><br />
In the shadows<br><br />
I'm safe, I'm free<br><br />
I've nowhere else to go<br><br />
But I cannot stay here<br><br />
Oh! Show me the shadow where true meaning lies<br><br />
So much more dismay in empty eyes<br><br />
<br />

''Written by: [[J. LeCompt]], [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]]''<br />
<br />
According to LeCompt, the original name of the song was C Sharp, the guitar tuning of the song. Originally, it was meant to be on Fallen, but never made the cut. An alternate look at the song describes John LeCompt’s secret addiction to Eggo waffles.<br />
<br />
According to Shelly LeCompt, the title of this song is "Forever You," not "Forever Gone, Forever You." <ref name=evboard>LeCompt, Shelly. [http://evboard.com/showpost.php?p=978594&postcount=27 Forever You - EvBoard], page 3 - EvBoard.com</ref><br />

{{quote|John did write that song as a solo thing he did between the Mindrage split & joining up with Evanescence! (that let's you know how long ago that was -hehehe) And the original version (which I am now listening to because you guys are making me remember back when - hehehe) called C sharp was all john when he recorded on our home pc. He did all the music & all the lyrics, he played it all & sang it all! So pretty - hehehe. Okay then came the lovely Ben & Amy, they loved as John loved it so added a little Evie to it and there was the beginning of Forever You. Amy did her own lyrics to that version. I think that clears up everything or makes it worse who knows! hahaha :D }}<br />

I wanted you to be with me<br><br />
For so long I don't even know why now<br><br />
But now that I've given up on you<br><br />
Defiantly you see me<br><br />
<br><br />
Walking away I see the pain<br><br />
You put me through ''[I see through you]''<br> <br />
Lost in your game to change the same<br><br />
Forever gone, forever you<br><br />
<br><br />
There's something very wrong about this<br><br />
I think you knew all along somehow<br><br />
You'll only take me to change my mind<br><br />
And leave me broken and defeated<br><br />
<br><br />
So far away I see the truth<br><br />
I see through you ''[I see through you]''<br><br />
Now that I know the way you play<br><br />
I don't want to<br><br />
<br><br />
Walking away I see the pain<br><br />
You put me through ''[I see through you]''<br><br />
Lost in your game to change the same<br><br />

[[Image:Amy MNPA.JPG|thumb|right|170px|Amy Hartzler]]<br />
'''Amy Hartzler''' (born Amy Lynn Lee, December 13, 1981 in Riverside, California) is the co-founder and lead singer of [[Evanescence]]. Her family moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, Rockford, Illinois, and finally stopped in Little Rock, Arkansas. Responsible for many of Evanescence’s hard hitting lyrics and is the main songwriter on the new album, [[The Open Door]]. Amy provides the image for the band and does most of the interviews. Ben Moody discovered Amy Lee’s voice in summer camp in 1994 when she performed a few lines of Meatloaf’s ''"I'd Do Anything For Love."'' After that, the rest is history. She is currently one of the most popular and sought after voices in music today.<br />
<br />
==Image==<br />
Lee has no trademark style with the "gothic". She dyes her hair jet black, though her hair is actually light brown. Her eyes are green but she used to wear blue contacts (Fallen era). She also designs many of her own clothes, including those worn in the music video for [[Going Under]] and the dress she wore at the 2004 Grammy awards. After she designed it, she chose Japanese designer H. Naoto to make it for her,<ref name="MTVleegrammys">[http://www.mtv.com/news/grammys/2004/backstage.jhtml?id=amylee&c=7 Amy Lee - Instant Fashion Profile] - MTV News</ref> although she does sometimes make her own clothes. In concerts, she often wears a corset and fishnets. Amy used to have a notable piercing on her left eyebrow which she had taken out and had re-pierced a few times, but she took it out for good sometime in mid-2005.<br />
<br />
Many fans praise Lee for her refusal to emulate other celebrities by using sex appeal in her music. She has stated on a number of occasions that she would never flash her breasts or engage in other publicity stunts that would draw attention to herself. In fact, in the music video for [[Everybody's Fool]], she aimed to mock such artists by suggesting celebrities who use sex to appeal to an audience are, in fact, merely peddling "lies" (the unifying theme of the music video). <ref name=VH1>Moss, Corey. [http://www.vh1.com/artists/news/1488307/06102004/evanescence.jhtml Evanescence's Amy Lee Hopes To Get Into Film, Rages Against Cheesy Female Idols] - MTV News via VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
In her personal life, she enjoys being a girl. Her clothing style is quirky and marked by her frequent use of not-so-goth clothes (she stated in an interview with AOL that she was wearing "something floral"). She explains it as a professional thing, saying that her image onstage is so different from her normal clothes because it completes the image; if she were to come out onstage in pink boots and a track suit and sing about despair, it would totally ruin the image.<br />

Kerrang Magazine readers voted her #1 Sexiest Rock Women with Hayley Williams from Paramore comming in 2nd.<br />
<br />
Amy Lee will be honored with National Music Publishers' Association Songwriter Icon Award for 2008. She will recieve the award on June 18 in New York City. This award is very priviledged as only one person gets it per year out of the whole music industry. She will also perform for them. The Icon Award recognizes outstanding songwriters for personal achievement and who personify the vision of NMPA and the goals of its members. Former recipients include Jimmy Webb and Neil Sedaka. To see the official page, click here:[http://www.nmpa.org/pressroom/showrelease.asp?id=157]<br />
<br />
== Style ==<br />
Lee, the principal lyricist and composer of [[Evanescence]], employs simple yet expressive melodies that stand alone or intertwine with accompanying guitars. Many melodies involve a submelody or return to a base note or sequence, as in the choruses of "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," and the live Korn cover "[[Thoughtless]]" as well as the intro and bridge of "[[Imaginary]]," among others. Many of the piano parts are comprised of melodies with minimal chords and left-hand accompaniment, both when played with guitar parts ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Like You]]," "[[Your Star]]," "[[Going Under]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others) and alone or featured with minimal backing ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Lose Control]]," "[[The Only One]]," "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Bring Me To Life]]," "[[Imaginary]]," "[[Taking Over Me]]," "[[Hello]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others).<br />
<br />
=== Range ===<br />
Lee has an impressive recorded vocal range, stretching from E3 (“[[Snow White Queen]],” 0:40/2:04) to C#6 ("[[Weight of the World]]," 2:46/2:51). On an MTV Diary special, Lee is shown warming up for a show where she sings a D#6 (4:35/4:37, as timed from the beginning of the [[Evanescence]] section), giving her an exhibited range one semitone short of three octaves. She can be classified as a [[mezzo-soprano]].<br />
<br />
==Out of the Shadows==<br />
In 2005, Amy became a spokesperson for the Epilepsy Foundation and launched a campaign called [http://www.outoftheshadows.com Out of the Shadows]. The goal is to help spread awareness about epilepsy and to encourage people to not discriminate against people with epilepsy. This campaign is important to Amy, as well as her family, because her younger brother has epilepsy and she has seen first hand the effect it has.<br />
<br />
Amy is currently supporting too [http://www.twloha.com To Write Love on Her Arms], a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. Her husband, [[Josh Hartzler]], has a counseling background. Amy was wearing a T-shirt of the movement on 11/12/2007, in Nissan Live on Yahoo! Music.<br />
<br />

<br />
She did back up vocals on [[Big Dismal]]'s song '[[Missing You]]' off of their 2003 debut release CD, Believe.<br />
<br />
Did some vocals on the [[Underworld]] soundtrack in 2003 but after some issues with her record label her voice was never used. Her name still appears in the credits though.<br />
<br />
Amy is featured on Seether's song [[Broken]]. The song was released as a single in 2004 and can be found on '''The Punisher''' soundtrack and on Seether's '''Disclaimer II''' album.<br />
<br />
She appears on Korn's 2007 [[MTV Unplugged: Korn|MTV Unplugged]] album on the track 'Freak On A Leash'. The song was also released as the first single.<br />
<br />
Amy also appeared with Finger Eleven live. It is one of the two videos favorited by the official [[Evanescence YouTube]].<br />
<br />
==Tools of the Trade==<br />
On tour, Amy uses a Baldwin baby grand piano with a keyboard insert (a baby grand piano shell with an electronic keyboard instead of an acoustic piano on the inside). She also uses a stand-alone Baldwin keyboard and [http://www.shure.com/index.htm Shure Microphones].<br />
<br />
At the 50th Grammy Awards, Amy disclosed that she was working hard learning the harp, practicing two hours a day.<br />
<br />
==MySpace==<br />
Amy Lee does not have a MySpace page. There are several impostor MySpace pages claiming to be Amy Lee. They are not real. <ref name=myspace>Lee, Amy. [http://www.evboard.com/showpost.php?p=795379&postcount=2 So Supposedly Amy has Myspace.] - EvBoard.com</ref><br />

Many fans praise Lee for her refusal to emulate other celebrities by using sex appeal in her music. She has stated on a number of occasions that she would never flash her breasts or engage in other publicity stunts that would draw attention to herself. In fact, in the music video for [[Everybody's Fool]], she aimed to mock such artists by suggesting celebrities who use sex to appeal to an audience are, in fact, merely peddling "lies" (the unifying theme of the music video). <ref name=VH1>Moss, Corey.

<br />
In her personal life, she enjoys being a girl. Her clothing style is quirky and marked by her frequent use of not-so-goth clothes (she stated in an interview with AOL that she was wearing "something floral"). She explains it as a professional thing, saying that her image onstage is so different from her normal clothes because it completes the image; if she were to come out onstage in pink boots and a track suit and sing about despair, it would totally ruin the image.<br />

<br />
== Style ==<br />
Lee, the principal lyricist and composer of [[Evanescence]], employs simple yet expressive melodies that stand alone or intertwine with accompanying guitars. Many melodies involve a submelody or return to a base note or sequence, as in the choruses of "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," and the live Korn cover "[[Thoughtless]]" as well as the intro and bridge of "[[Imaginary]]," among others. Many of the piano parts are comprised of melodies with minimal chords and left-hand accompaniment, both when played with guitar parts ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Like You]]," "[[Your Star]]," "[[Going Under]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others) and alone or featured with minimal backing ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Lose Control]]," "[[The Only One]]," "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Bring Me To Life]]," "[[Imaginary]]," "[[Taking Over Me]]," "[[Hello]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others).<br />
<br />
=== Range ===<br />
Lee has an impressive recorded vocal range, stretching from E3 (“[[Snow White Queen]],” 0:40/2:04) to C#6 ("[[Weight of the World]]," 2:46/2:51). On an MTV Diary special, Lee is shown warming up for a show where she sings a D#6 (4:35/4:37, as timed from the beginning of the [[Evanescence]] section), giving her an exhibited range one semitone short of three octaves. She can be classified as a [[mezzo-soprano]].<br />

Her clothing style is quirky and marked by her frequent use of not-so-goth clothes (she stated in an interview with AOL that she was wearing "something floral"). She explains it as a professional thing, saying that her image onstage is so different from her normal clothes because it completes the image; if she were to come out onstage in pink boots and a track suit and sing about despair, it would totally ruin the image.<br />

Amy Lee will be honored with National Music Publishers' Association Songwriter Icon Award for 2008. She will recieve the award on June 18 in New York City. This award is very priviledged as only one person gets it per year out of the whole music industry. She will also perform for them. The Icon Award recognizes outstanding songwriters for personal achievement and who personify the vision of NMPA and the goals of its members. Former recipients include Jimmy Webb and Neil Sedaka.

<br />
== Style ==<br />
Lee, the principal lyricist and composer of [[Evanescence]], employs simple yet expressive melodies that stand alone or intertwine with accompanying guitars. Many melodies involve a submelody or return to a base note or sequence, as in the choruses of "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," and the live Korn cover "[[Thoughtless]]" as well as the intro and bridge of "[[Imaginary]]," among others. Many of the piano parts are comprised of melodies with minimal chords and left-hand accompaniment, both when played with guitar parts ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Like You]]," "[[Your Star]]," "[[Going Under]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others) and alone or featured with minimal backing ("[[Lithium]]," "[[Lose Control]]," "[[The Only One]]," "[[Good Enough]]," "[[Bring Me To Life]]," "[[Imaginary]]," "[[Taking Over Me]]," "[[Hello]]," "[[Breathe No More]]," "[[Thoughtless]]," among others).<br />
<br />
=== Range ===<br />
Lee has an impressive recorded vocal range, stretching from E3 (“[[Snow White Queen]],” 0:40/2:04) to C#6 ("[[Weight of the World]]," 2:46/2:51). On an MTV Diary special, Lee is shown warming up for a show where she sings a D#6 (4:35/4:37, as timed from the beginning of the [[Evanescence]] section), giving her an exhibited range one semitone short of three octaves. She can be classified as a [[mezzo-soprano]].<br />

<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''<br />
<br />
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]], but at a slower tempo and lower pitch.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
{{quote|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.}}<br />

{{quote|...this song sounds like the narrator is almost about to be raped.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.}}<br />

Stoplight lock the door<BR><br />
Don't look back<BR><br />
Undress in the dark<BR><br />
And hide from you<BR><br />
All of you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You'll never know the way your words have haunted me<BR><br />
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me ''[ever and ever]''<BR><br />
You don't know me ''[ever and ever]''<BR><br />
Now and ever<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You belong to me<BR><br />
My snow white queen<BR><br />
There's nowhere to run<BR> <br />
So let's just get it over<BR><br />
Soon I know you'll see<BR><br />
You're just like me<BR><br />
Don't scream anymore my love<BR> <br />
'Cause all I want is you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Wake up in a dream<BR><br />
Frozen fear<BR><br />
All your hands on me<BR><br />
I can't scream<BR><br />
I can't scream<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I can't escape the twisted way you think of me<BR><br />
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep ''[ever and ever]''<BR><br />
I don't sleep ''[ever and ever]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Say you belong to me<BR><br />
My snow white queen<BR><br />
There's nowhere to run<BR> <br />
So let's just get it over<BR><br />
Soon I know you'll see<BR><br />
You're just like me<BR><br />
Don't scream anymore my love<BR> <br />
'Cause all I want is you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I can't save your life<BR><br />
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting<BR><br />
I'm losing my mind<BR><br />
And you just stand there and stare as my world divides<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Say you belong to me<BR><br />
My snow white queen<BR><br />
There's nowhere to run<BR><br />
So let's just get it over<BR><br />
Soon I know you'll see<BR><br />
You're just like me<BR><br />
Don't scream anymore my love<BR><br />

<br />
Can you forgive me again<br><br />
I don't know what I said<br><br />
But I didn't mean to hurt you<br><br />
<br><br />
I heard the words come out<br><br />
I felt that I would die<br><br />
It hurts so much to hurt you<br><br />
<br><br />
Then you look at me<br><br />
You're not shouting anymore<br><br />
You're silently broken<br><br />
<br><br />
I'd give anything now<br><br />
To kill those words for you<br><br />
Each time I say something I regret<br><br />
I cry I don't want to lose you<br><br />
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah!<br><br />
<br><br />
'Cause you were made for me<br><br />
Somehow I'll make you see<br><br />
How happy you make me, Oh!<br><br />
<br><br />
I can't live this life<br><br />
Without you by my side<br><br />
I need you to survive<br><br />
So stay with me<br><br />
You look in my eyes<br><br />
And I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry ''[sorry]''<br><br />
<br><br />
''[Ooh I'm sorry]''<br><br />
<br><br />
And you forgive me again<br><br />
You're my one true friend<br><br />
And I never meant to hurt you<br><br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
Song written for [[The Open Door]] sessions, but missed the cut on the album.<br />
<br />
Amy confirmed in an interview with evanescencewebsite.com that Together Again is [[The Narnia Song]] and was inspired by the movie. She says the song it about "leaving home knowing it may not be there when you return, and the attraction to something frightening and wonderful far away from there."<ref>[http://www.evanescencewebsite.com/AmyLeeInterview.php]</ref> In the same interview, she also claims that the song remains unfinished as of now, but that it will be released someday.<br />
<br />
''From Metal Edge magazine, Amy says:''<br />
{{quote|I wrote something else that was moody, dark and really cool, and the director wanted something that felt more hopeful. The song was about saying goodbye and moving on, and that’s what they’re doing in [the beginning of] the movie when they’re leaving their parents and going into some scary, unknown place. That’s how I wrote it, from their perspective. I thought the song was perfect. And it wasn’t like I put a bunch of guitars in it. I made stuff that was cool and vibey but was still haunting, and I think that’s the part they didn’t like.}}<br />

In an interview, Amy said the song was written as a joke and it was first mentioned in an interview with Blender Magazine in 2004.<ref>[http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=705 Read the article]</ref>. In an interview with Spin Magazine she hinted that the song was dedicated to [[Ben Moody]]. <ref>[http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5844/file0120kc9ax1.jpg See a picture of the magazine]</ref> It features Amy's solo, un-layered, vocals with a very simple piano track. Some very experimental vocal work is heard throughout.<br />
<br />
The song was released as a bonus track on iTunes when [[The Open Door]] album was released (the album had to be pre-ordered from the website) and soon spread around the Internet. The song was also released as a B-side on the [[Lithium Single]].<br />
<br />
According to Amy, the real lyrics for the second line is "they're my own veins" and not any other variations of lyrics that some people used to believe to be the real lyrics.<ref>[http://www.evthreads.com/showthread.php?p=463764#post463764 See the post by SnowWhite (Amy) on Evthreads]</ref><br />

They're my own veins <BR><br />
<BR><br />
Any more than a whisper<BR><br />
Any sudden movement of my heart<BR><br />
And I know<BR><br />
I know I'll have to watch them pass away<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Just get through this day<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Give up your way<BR><br />
You could be anything<BR><br />
Give up my way <BR><br />
And lose myself<BR><BR><br />
Not today<BR><br />
That's too much guilt to pay<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Sickened in the sun<BR><br />
You dare tell me you love me<BR><br />
But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die<BR><br />
Honey you know<BR><br />
You know I'd never hurt you that way<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You're just so pretty in your pain<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Give up my way<BR><br />
And I could be anything<BR><br />
I'll make my own way<BR><br />
Without your senseless<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
Hate<BR><br />
<BR><br />
So run<BR><br />
Run<BR><br />
Run<BR><br />
And hate me<BR><br />
If it feels good<BR><br />
I can't hear your screams anymore<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You lied to me<BR><br />
But I'm older now<BR><br />
And I'm not buying baby<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Demanding my response<BR><br />
Don't bother breaking the door down<BR><br />
I found my way out<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And you'll never hurt me again<BR><br />

Written by: ''[[Amy Lee|A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
In an interview, Amy said the song was written as a joke and it was first mentioned in an interview with Blender Magazine in 2004.<ref>[http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=705 Read the article]</ref>. In an interview with Spin Magazine she hinted that the song was dedicated to [[Ben Moody]]. <ref>[http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5844/file0120kc9ax1.jpg See a picture of the magazine]</ref> It features Amy's solo, un-layered, vocals with a very simple piano track. Some very experimental vocal work is heard throughout.<br />
<br />
The song was released as a bonus track on iTunes when [[The Open Door]] album was released (the album had to be pre-ordered from the website) and soon spread around the Internet. The song was also released as a B-side on the [[Lithium Single]].<br />
<br />
According to Amy, the real lyrics for the second line is "they're my own veins" and not any other variations of lyrics that some people used to think they were.<ref>[http://www.evthreads.com/showthread.php?p=463764#post463764 See the post by SnowWhite (Amy) on Evthreads]</ref><br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
Is this real enough for you?<br><br />
You were so confused<br><br />
Now that you've decided to stay<br><br />
We'll remain together<br><br />
<br><br />
''You can't abandon me''<br><br />
''You belong to me''<br><br />
<br><br />
Breathe in and take my life in you<br><br />
No longer myself, only you<br><br />
There's no escaping me my love<br><br />
Surrender<br><br />
<br><br />
Darling, there's no sense in running<br><br />
You know I will find you<br><br />
Everything is perfect now<br><br />
We can live forever<br><br />
<br><br />
''You can't abandon me''<br><br />
''You belong to me''<br><br />

Breathe in and take my life in you<br><br />
No longer myself, only you<br><br />
There's no escaping me my love<br><br />

''Hands up slowly''<br><br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[T. Balsamo]]''<br />
<br />
[[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]]. The piano is the principal instrument for this song. 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.<BR><br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref><br />
<br />
{{quote|"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."}}<br />
<br />
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"<br />

<br />
I can't see your star<BR> <br />
I can't see your star<BR><br />
Though I patiently waited, bedside<BR> <br />
For the death of today<BR> <br />
I can't see your star<BR> <br />
The mechanical lights of Lisbon<BR> <br />
Frightened it away<BR> <br />
<BR><br />
And I'm alone now<BR> <br />
Me and all I stood for<BR> <br />
We're wandering now<BR> <br />
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely<BR> <br />
Find your own way out<BR> <br />
<BR><br />
I can't see your star<BR><br />
I can't see your star<BR><br />
How can the darkness feel so wrong?<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And I'm alone now<BR><br />
Me and all I stood for<BR><br />
We're wandering now<BR><br />
All in parts in pieces, swim lonely<BR><br />
Find your own way out<BR><br />
<BR><br />
So far away<BR><br />
It's growing colder without your love<BR><br />
Why can't you feel me calling your name?<BR><br />
Can't break the silence<BR><br />
It's breaking me<BR><br />
<BR><br />
''[Alma surda, loucura]'' all my fears ''[onde está sua alma?]''<BR><br />
''[Loucura, toda sozinha]'' turn to rage<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And I'm alone now<BR><br />
Me and all I stood for<BR><br />
We're wandering now<BR><br />
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely<BR><br />
Find your own way out now<BR><br />
<BR><br />
And nothing worth fighting for<BR><br />
We're wandering now<BR><br />
All in parts and pieces, swim lonely<BR><br />
Find your own way out<BR><br />

''Written by: [[B. Moody]], [[W. Boyd]] and [[M. Outlaw]]''<br />
<br />
Seldom referred to as ''The Last Day''. Joint effort written by Will Boyd, Matt Outlaw and Ben Moody. Track #5 on the [[Evanescence EP]]. Matt Outlaw performed on the drums for this song.<br />
<br />
Notice that [[Lithium]] (track 4 on [[The Open Door]]) has some similarites in its guitar part and the So Close intro could easily fit as an intro for the guitar of the [[Lithium]] verses.<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
I've spent so much time<br><br />
Throwing rocks at your window<br><br />
But I never even knocked<br><br />
On your front door<br><br />
<br><br />
I walk by statues<br><br />
Never even made one chip<br><br />
But if I could leave a mark<br><br />
On the monument of your heart<br><br />
I just might lay myself down<br><br />
For a little more hope than I had<br><br />
The last day<br><br />
The last day<br><br />
The last day<br><br />
<br><br />
Wait a time<br><br />
To spare these lies we tell ourselves<br><br />
These days have come and gone<br><br />
But this time it's sweeter than honey<br><br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]] and [[W. Boyd]]''<br />
<br />
The song is one of Evanescence's earliest recordings and was an [[Evanescence EP]] outtake.<br />
<br />
There's some controversy among fans about a supposedly "gospel" nature of this composition, due to verses that are typical of devotional hymns "I fall into your abounding grace", for example, although no explicit reference to Jesus or Lord or God is made in the song.<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
I can't run anymore<br><br />
I fall before you<br><br />
Here I am<br><br />
I have nothing left<br><br />
<br><br />
Though I've tried to forget<br><br />
You're all that I am<br><br />
Take me home<br><br />
I'm through fighting it<br><br />
<br><br />
Broken<br><br />
Lifeless<br><br />
I give up<br><br />
You're my only strength<br><br />
<br><br />
Without you<br><br />
I can't go on<br><br />
Anymore<br><br />
Ever again<br><br />
<br><br />
My only hope ''[All the times I've tried]''<br><br />
My only peace ''[To walk away from you]''<br><br />
My only joy, my only strength,<br><br />
My only power ''[I fall into your abounding grace]''<br><br />
My only life ''[And love is where I am]''<br><br />
My only love<br><br />
<br><br />
I can't run anymore<br><br />
I give myself to you<br><br />
I'm sorry<br><br />
I'm sorry<br><br />
<br><br />
In all my bitterness<br><br />
I ignored all that's real and true<br><br />
All I need is you<br><br />
<br><br />
When night falls on me<br><br />
I'll not close my eyes<br><br />
I'm too alive<br><br />
And you're too strong<br><br />
<br><br />
I can't lie anymore<br><br />
I fall down before you<br><br />
I'm sorry<br><br />
I'm sorry<br><br />
<br><br />
My only hope ''[All the times I've tried]''<br><br />
My only peace ''[To walk away from you]''<br><br />
My only joy, my only strength,<br><br />
My only power ''[I fall into your abounding grace]''<br><br />
My only life ''[And love is where I am]''<br><br />
My only love<br><br />
<br><br />
Constantly ignoring<br><br />
The pain consuming me<br><br />
But this time it's cut too deep<br><br />
I'll never stray again<br><br />
<br><br />
My only hope ''[All the times I've tried]''<br><br />
My only peace ''[To walk away from you]''<br><br />
My only joy, my only strength,<br><br />
My only power ''[I fall into your abounding grace]''<br><br />
My only life ''[And love is where I am]''<br><br />
My only love<br><br />
<br><br />
My only hope ''[All the times I've tried]''<br><br />
My only peace ''[To walk away from you]''<br><br />
My only joy, my only strength,<br><br />
My only power ''[I fall into your abounding grace]''<br><br />
My only life ''[And love is where I am]''<br><br />
My only love<br><br />

<br />
''Written by [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]] and [[D. Hodges]]''<br />
<br />
Recorded during the 2001-2002 demos and revamped as a B-side on the Australian [[Bring Me To Life Single|Bring Me To Life Commercial Single]] and later released as a bonus track on the CD portion of [[Anywhere But Home]] (the track can also be heard during the ending credits of the live performance). Has been internationally released as a radio single in Europe and South America.<br />
<br />
According to [http://exodusevanescence.com Exodus Evanescence], here is the explanation behind the layers of vocals in Missing:<br />
{{quote|Throughout the verses there is a looped background vocal of Amy whispering "can you stop the fire? please.. please.. please.." and "you can't stop the fire" on the LEFT audio channel plus "can you stand to fight her" and "you won't say the words" on the RIGHT audio channel. But on the later version of the song there is only "please... please..." on the LEFT audio channel and all the other lines on the RIGHT audio channel.}}<br />
<br />
There's has been a supposed ''"Radio version"''. Some people have said that this is an official version, but the only download available is a ''mono'' track with poor sound quality and has lead most to believe that it's a fan edit.<br />

=== Fallen Outtake ===<br />
'' <small>'''Left audio channel:'''</small> Please, please, please''<br><br />
'' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words''<br><br />
<br><br />
Please, please forgive me<br><br />
But I won't be home again<br><br />
Maybe someday you'll look up<br><br />
And barely conscious you'll say to no one<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
<br><br />
You won't cry for my absence, I know<br><br />
You forgot me long ago<br><br />
Am I that unimportant?<br><br />
Am I so insignificant?<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
Even though I'm the sacrifice<br><br />
You won't try for me, not now<br><br />
Though I'd die to know you love me<br><br />
I'm all alone<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
'' <small>'''Left audio channel:'''</small> Please, please, please''<br><br />
'' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words''<br><br />
<br><br />
Please, please forgive me<br><br />
But I won't be home again<br><br />
I know what you do to yourself<br><br />
I breathe deep and cry out<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
Even though I'm the sacrifice<br><br />
You won't try for me, not now<br><br />
Though I'd die to know you love me<br><br />
I'm all alone<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
And if I breathe, I'll bleed<br><br />
Knowing you don't care<br><br />
And if I sleep just to dream of you<br><br />
I'll wake without you there<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
Isn't something...<br><br />
<br />
Even though I'm the sacrifice<br><br />
You won't try for me, not now<br><br />

'' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stand to fight her? You won't say the words''<br><br />
'' <small>'''Both audio channels:'''</small> Please, please, please'' <ref name=whisperings> These parts on the left, right and both channels are sung through the verses, before the verses and at the ending of the song </ref><br><br />
<br><br />
Please, please forgive me<br><br />

Maybe someday you'll look up<br><br />

== International Promotional Single ==<br />
<br />
With the release of [[Anywhere But Home]], the bonus track, Missing, was released internationally to radio stations for airplay and not released for public sale (though it quickly found its way on eBay). The single had elaborate artwork that made the disc highly collectable. It is rumored that only a few thousand of them exist.<br />
<br />
Internationally, two formal instances of the single exist in addition to an Australian and Spanish press release. Both the Euro and Brazilian items (below) were scanned using the exact same equipment and are un-edited:<br />

''Written by [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]] and [[D. Hodges]]''<br />
<br />
Recorded during the 2001-2002 demos and revamped as a B-side on the Australian [[Bring Me To Life Single|Bring Me To Life Commercial Single]] and later released as a bonus track on the CD portion of [[Anywhere But Home]] (the track can also be heard during the ending credits of the live performance). Has been internationally released as a radio single in Europe and South America.<br />
<br />
According to [http://exodusevanescence.com Exodus Evanescence], here is the explanation behind the layers of vocals in Missing:<br />
{{quote|Throughout the verses there is a looped background vocal of Amy whispering "can you stop the fire? please.. please.. please.." and "you can't stop the fire" on the LEFT audio channel plus "can you stand to fight her" and "you won't say the words" on the RIGHT audio channel. But on the later version of the song there is only "please... please..." on the LEFT audio channel and all the other lines on the RIGHT audio channel.}}<br />
<br />
There's a leaked version which is called ''"Radio version"''. Some people says that this is an official version, but the only download available (everywhere) is a ''mono'' track, which is poor quality and has lead most to believe that it's a fan edit.<br />

=== Fallen Outtake ===<br />
'' <small>'''Left audio channel:'''</small> Please, please, please''<br><br />
'' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words''<br><br />
<br><br />
Please, please forgive me<br><br />
But I won't be home again<br><br />
Maybe someday you'll look up<br><br />
And barely conscious you'll say to no one<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
<br><br />
You won't cry for my absence, I know<br><br />
You forgot me long ago<br><br />
Am I that unimportant?<br><br />
Am I so insignificant?<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
Even though I'm the sacrifice<br><br />
You won't try for me, not now<br><br />
Though I'd die to know you love me<br><br />
I'm all alone<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
'' <small>'''Left audio channel:'''</small> Please, please, please''<br><br />
'' <small>'''Right audio channel:'''</small> Can you stop the fire? Can you stand to fight her? You can't stop the fire. You won't say the words''<br><br />
<br><br />
Please, please forgive me<br><br />
But I won't be home again<br><br />
I know what you do to yourself<br><br />
I breathe deep and cry out<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
Even though I'm the sacrifice<br><br />
You won't try for me, not now<br><br />
Though I'd die to know you love me<br><br />
I'm all alone<br><br />
Isn't someone missing me?<br><br />
<br><br />
And if I breathe, I'll bleed<br><br />
Knowing you don't care<br><br />
And if I sleep just to dream of you<br><br />
I'll wake without you there<br><br />
Isn't something missing?<br><br />
Isn't something...<br><br />
<br />
Even though I'm the sacrifice<br><br />
You won't try for me, not now<br><br />

'' <small>'''Both audio channels:'''</small> Please, please, please'' <ref name=whisperings> These parts on the left, right and both channels are sung through the verses, before the verses and at the ending of the song </ref><br><br />

== International Promotional Single ==<br />
<br />
With the release of [[Anywhere But Home]], the bonus track, Missing, was released internationally to radio stations for airplay and not released for public sale (though it quickly found its way on eBay). The single had elaborate artwork that made the disc highly collectable. It is rumored that only a few thousand of them exist.<br />
<br />
Internationally, two formal instances of the single exist in addition to an Australian and Spanish press release. Both the Euro and Brazilian items (below) were scanned using the exact same equipment and are un-edited:<br />

<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
This song is described as a track "which embraces feeling over numbness," Amy confirmed, at the world premier of [[The Open Door]] in London, England, her soured relationship with ex-boyfriend [[Shaun Morgan]] of Seether was the inspiration for this track.<br />
<br />
Before the release of [[The Open Door]], some fans mistakenly believed Lithium to be a cover of the [[Nirvana]] song which bears the same name. However, the two songs are unrelated.<br />
<br />
Upon release, fan reaction to Lithium has been generally positive. It has been likened to [[My Immortal]] as well as tracks from [[Origin]]. Some fans view Lithium as [[The Open Door]]'s first real highlight.<br />
<br />
At [[The Open Door]] premiere in Milan, Amy Lee said that Lithium would be that album's second single.<br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song ''From VH1.com'':<br />
<br />
{{quote|I wrote the chorus on the guitar when I was about 16. I always thought it was a cool chorus, but I never used it for anything. I started playing it on the piano and the verses came out. I have a pile of pieces stowed away in my mind that maybe I'll use some day. In a way it's an old song, but not really. It grew up. <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref>}}<br />
<br />
''From MTV Italy''<br />
<br />
{{quote|Amy: "It's not literal, it's not literal about the drug for me, I've never taken lithium before. It's sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it's me looking at happiness in a negative way because I've always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it's always like I'm never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it's not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it's like saying 'that's numbness, I won't be able to be an artist anymore if I'm happy,' which is hilarious because that's just not true, I'm happy. So it's like this fight within the song of like 'do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do i wallow in it like I always do?' and it's cool because at the end of the song I say 'I'm going to let it go,' like I am going to be happy. <ref name=youtube>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ1YhUpxwsY Evanescence - Amy Lee Interview] - YouTube</ref>}}<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside<BR><br />
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without<BR><br />
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow<BR><br />
Oh, but God, I wanna let it go<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone<BR><br />
Couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show<BR><br />
Never wanted it to be so cold<BR><br />
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I can't hold on to me<BR><br />
Wonder what's wrong with me<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside<BR><br />
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without<BR><br />
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Oh! Don't wanna let it lay me down this time<BR><br />
Drown my will to fly<BR><br />
Here in the darkness I know myself<BR><br />
Can't break free until I let it go<BR><br />
Let me go<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Darling, I forgive you after all<BR><br />
Anything is better than to be alone<BR><br />
And in the end I guess I had to fall<BR><br />
Always find my place among the ashes<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I can't hold on to me<BR><br />
Wonder what's wrong with me<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside<BR><br />
Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without<BR><br />
Lithium, I wanna stay in love with you<BR><br />
Oh, I'm gonna let it go<BR><br />

[[Image:lithiumvideo.gif|thumb|left|200px|From The Lithium Video]]<br />
Directed by [[Paul Fedor]], the video features two Amys, one in the water (assuming the "sadness" role) in a black dress singing to her alter ego in white (assuming the "happiness" role) who, through a process of internal torment, conquers her sadness. The video also features prominent shots of the rest of the band, including new member [[Tim McCord]], all dressed in black. <br />
<br />
Shot in L.A. in late October of 2006, and released some time late in November. The video leaked on Thursday, November 23 (Thanksgiving). Due to unknown issues—apparently caused by the label—the video was released internationally late in November, however the US had to wait almost 2 weeks for stations to start playing it.<br />
<br />
<br />
The video bears a striking similarity to AFI's ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Like_Winter Love Like Winter]<nowiki>'</nowiki>'', released early in november, because of their snowy forest sets and underwater moments. AFI's video was directed by Marc Webb and features lead singer, Davey Havok, falling through ice to a woman who is "The beautiful embodiment of hopelessness".<br />

<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
This song was described as a track "which embraces feeling over numbness," Amy confirmed, at the world premier of [[The Open Door]] in London, England, her soured relationship with ex-boyfriend [[Shaun Morgan]] of Seether was the inspiration for this track.<br />
<br />
Before the release of [[The Open Door]], some fans mistakenly believed Lithium to be a cover of the [[Nirvana]] song which bears the same name. However, the two songs are unrelated.<br />
<br />
Upon release, fan reaction to Lithium has been generally positive. It has been likened to [[My Immortal]] as well as tracks from [[Origin]]. Some fans view Lithium as [[The Open Door]]'s first real highlight.<br />
<br />
At [[The Open Door]] premiere in Milan, Amy Lee said that Lithium would be that album's second single.<br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song ''From VH1.com'':<br />
<br />
{{quote|I wrote the chorus on the guitar when I was about 16. I always thought it was a cool chorus, but I never used it for anything. I started playing it on the piano and the verses came out. I have a pile of pieces stowed away in my mind that maybe I'll use some day. In a way it's an old song, but not really. It grew up. <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref>}}<br />
<br />
''From MTV Italy''<br />
<br />
{{quote|Amy: "It's not literal, it's not literal about the drug for me, I've never taken lithium before. It's sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it's me looking at happiness in a negative way because I've always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it's always like I'm never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it's not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it's like saying 'that's numbness, I won't be able to be an artist anymore if I'm happy,' which is hilarious because that's just not true, I'm happy. So it's like this fight within the song of like 'do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do i wallow in it like I always do?' and it's cool because at the end of the song I say 'I'm going to let it go,' like I am going to be happy. <ref name=youtube>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ1YhUpxwsY Evanescence - Amy Lee Interview] - YouTube</ref>}}<br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br><br />
<br />
This song was directed by Lee, performed by her high school choir, the Pulaski Academy mixed choir, for Amy's graduation. It should be noted that Amy Lee was the choir president. The part of the song with the word 'listen' repeated multiply was supposed to represent the rain falling.<br><br />
<br />
Was originally supposed to be an [[Origin]] track, but never made the final cut. Was supposed to divide the [[Eternal]] song into Three pieces - Eternal, Listen To The Rain, and Demise (consisted of the ending of Eternal). Would have made an almost Eleven minute song spanning three tracks.<br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
This song was the second song [[Evanescence]] did for [[The Open Door]] following [[Snow White Queen]]. [[Terry Balsamo]] has said that it was one of his favorite tracks to work on.<br />
<br />
''From Metal Edge magazine''<br />
{{quote|The most personal song on The Open Door. "It is about something that's hard to even talk about but feels good to write about" - explains Lee - "It’s about my sister who passed away when I was a little girl. I was six years old and she was three. It's affected my life and definitely affected my music writing, and it's made me who I am. It's one of those things that happens early enough in life that it forms you. I think in a lot of ways I made it a thing that I can use in a positive way in my life. I've learned from it and grown up, and I've always felt older. Twenty-four sounds young to me, it's weird."<br><br><br />
Having lost a sister at such a young age put things in perspective for Lee, who says she cherishes making music and wants to love. "What else is there?" she ponders. "I don’t care about the stupid things as much as I would if I hadn't been through that. The song is about me from the perspective of a child back then, and I go back to that place a lot of times. I went there and wrote the song that way. It's not the kind of thing that I would normally say on a megaphone in front of millions of people."<br><br><br />
"It's something that changes you" - the singer stresses - "I love her, and I will always love her. Her spirit is always with us. I feel like I'll always want to have a little place for her on every record. On the last record, it was '[[Hello]]', and I wrote that from the perspective of a child. I was talking about it in a little bit of a different way, but it's the same inspiration".}}<br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
Stay low, soft, dark, and dreamless<BR><br />
Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness<BR><br />
I hate me for breathing without you<BR><br />
I don't want to feel anymore for you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Grieving for you<BR><br />
I'm not grieving for you<BR><br />
Nothing real love can't undo<BR><br />
And though I may have lost my way<BR><br />
All paths lead straight to you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I long to be like you<BR><br />
Lie cold in the ground like you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Halo, blinding wall between us<BR><br />
Melt away and leave us alone again<BR><br />
The humming, haunted somewhere out there<BR><br />
I believe our love can see us through in death<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I long to be like you<BR><br />
Lie cold in the ground like you<BR><br />
There's room inside for two<BR> <br />
And I'm not grieving for you<BR><br />
I'm coming for you<BR><br />
<BR><br />
You're not alone<BR><br />
No matter what they told you<BR> <br />
You're not alone<BR><br />
I'll be right beside you forevermore<BR><br />
<BR><br />
I long to be like you sis<BR><br />
Lie cold in the ground like you did<BR><br />
There's room inside for two<BR> <br />
And I'm not grieving for you<BR><br />
And as we lay in silent bliss<BR><br />
I know you remember me<BR><br />
<br><br />
I long to be like you<BR><br />
Lie cold in the ground like you<BR><br />
There's room inside for two<BR><br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]] and [[B. Moody]]''<br />
<br />
This song is considered to be one of Evanescence's trademark songs. [[Bruce Fitzhugh]] of Living Sacrifice provided the male vocals on the Origin version and [[Stephanie Pierce]] provided the female backup vocals (soprano) for this version. Later, this song was remade with Amy and [[David Hodges|David]]'s vocals, and different lyrics.<br><br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]] and [[D. Hodges]]''<br />
<br />
The song was developed during the 2001-2002 demos and later released as track #9 on [[Fallen]]. The most personal song ever written and released by Amy Lee and this is the only [[Fallen]] song that has never been performed in a concert to date though the band considered doing it back in 2003 and a theme from the song was used in the beginning of a few live shows in 2003 as the intro to the song [[Going Under]]. There is also a video of Amy singing it in her parents' house in 2004 which is the only recorded live version of the song. <br />
<br />
The song is about one of Amy’s sisters, who passed away in 1987 at the age of three from an unidentified illness. (This sister's name is known, but is not provided out of respect)<ref name=sister> [http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=705 Read this article from Bender Magazine]</ref><br />
<br />
This sister was later the inspiration for a second song, [[Like You]]. <br />

<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
The song is described as "a string-and-choir-infused closer distinguished as the band's first truly (almost) contented song" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com], the song is reminiscent of the piano ballad [[Give Unto Me]] in it's purest form.<br />
<br />
It is decidedly upbeat and showcases an Amy Lee that is letting someone in and who sounds happily in love. She thinks it is the bravest track on the album. <br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <br />
<br />
<br />
{{quote|It’s totally scary to be so vulnerable when I know however many metalheads are going to diss it because it’s not the exact same thing [as the other songs]. And it doesn’t end with, ‘And then he died’ or ‘I pushed him off a cliff’ or ‘He’s a ghost really.’ It’s so cool to me and weird to me. I’ve never written a happy song, ever.}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever. <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref>}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|I think ''Good Enough'' is the most inspirational, good feeling, non-Goth song you'll ever hear, but there are people who can't get past their initial perception of our music. <ref>R. Ross. [http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071123/SCENE04/711230315 Don't mention the G-word to Evanescence singer]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
<br />
The song was inspired by [[Hartzler, Josh|Josh]], Amy's then boyfriend and current husband (also the inspiration behind Bring Me to Life).<br />
<br />
The song was announced the fourth and final single from [[The Open Door]], the video was recorded 11-14 June 2007 in Budapest, Hungary.<br />
<br />
''Good Enough'' was used as both the intro and outro music for the ''CSI'' seventh season episode "Fallen Idols".<br />

<br />
''Written by: [[A. Lee]]''<br />
<br />
The song is described as "a string-and-choir-infused closer distinguished as the band's first truly (almost) contented song" by [http://evanescence.com Evanescence.com], the song is reminiscent of the piano ballad [[Give Unto Me]] in it's purest form.<br />
<br />
It is decidedly upbeat and showcases an Amy Lee that is letting someone in and who sounds happily in love. She thinks it is the bravest track on the album. <br />
<br />
Amy's description of the song: <br />
<br />
<br />
{{quote|It’s totally scary to be so vulnerable when I know however many metalheads are going to diss it because it’s not the exact same thing [as the other songs]. And it doesn’t end with, ‘And then he died’ or ‘I pushed him off a cliff’ or ‘He’s a ghost really.’ It’s so cool to me and weird to me. I’ve never written a happy song, ever.}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|I had gone through a lot of difficult things during the writing of the whole album, and by the end of it, I had stepped away from those bad situations. That's really hard. You have to be really brave and strong about it. After doing that, I felt so amazing. For the first time I felt like I could write a song based on how good I felt. I have never done that before ever. <ref>C. Bottomley. [http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1540914/story.jhtml Evanescence: Amy Lee Explains the New Songs] - VH1.com</ref>}}<br />
<br />
{{quote|I think ''Good Enough'' is the most inspirational, good feeling, non-Goth song you'll ever hear, but there are people who can't get past their initial perception of our music. <ref>R. Ross. [http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071123/SCENE04/711230315 Don't mention the G-word to Evanescence singer]</ref>}}<br />
<br />
<br />
The song was inspired by [[Hartzler, Josh|Josh]], Amy's then boyfriend and current husband (also the inspiration behind Bring Me to Life).<br />
<br />
The song was announced the Fourth Single from [[The Open Door]], the video was recorded 11-14 June 2007 in Budapest, Hungary.<br />
<br />
The Narnia song was NOT cut up. The Good Enough intro is NOT part of the Narnia song. Amy Lee confirmed on EvBoards, that the Narnia song is still intact and MAY be a future B-side.<br />
<br />
''Good Enough'' was used as both the intro and outro music for the ''CSI'' seventh season episode "Fallen Idols".<br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]], and [[D. Hodges]]''<br />
<br />
This was the last song written for Fallen and would have been the first single, but Bring Me to Life had been put onto the [[Daredevil Soundtrack]], so it became the second single.<br />
<br />
The song is about [[Amy Lee]]'s relationship with an abusive boyfriend, but it can be used to describe any type of abusive relationship. Lee said the song is about emerging from a "bad" relationship, explaining "And when you're at the end of your rope, when you're at the point where you realize something has to change, that you can't go on living in the situation that you're in. It's cool. It's a very strong song."<ref name=MTVNews>D'Angelo, Joe.

<br />
Going Under is Amy's favorite song from [[Fallen]].<br />

=== Fallen Version ===<br />
Now I will tell you what I've done for you<br><br />
Fifty thousand tears I've cried<br><br />
Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you<br><br />
And you still won't hear me<br><br />
''[going under]''<BR><br />
<BR><br />
Don't want your hand<br><br />
This time I'll save myself<br><br />
Maybe I'll wake up for once<br><br />
Not tormented daily defeated by you<br><br />
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom<br><br />
I'm dying again<br><br />
<br><br />
I'm going under ''[going under]''<br><br />
Drowning in you ''[drowning in you]''<br><br />
I'm falling forever ''[falling forever]''<br><br />
I've got to break through<br><br />

So I don't know what's real and what's not<br><br />
''[So I don't know what's real and what's not]''<br><br />

Scream at me I'm so far away ''[so far away]''<br><br />
I won't be broken again ''[again]''<br><br />
I've got to breathe<br><br />
I can't keep going under<br><br />

I'm going under ''[going under]''<br><br />

==Video==<br />
[[Image:GoingUnderVideo.gif|left|200px|Video]]The video is a live-performance/action video and was directed by Philip Stolzl. The video was filmed in Berlin, Germany, but most of it was filmed in Los Angeles, California in May of 2003. It follows the band performing at what can be assumed is a concert in which they’re the headliners, Amy swimming and singing underwater, and Ben being questioned relentlessly by the media (the media’s constant questions about the band’s religious affiliation inspired that part in the video). Evil Dead, one of Ben’s favorite movies inspires the use of the zombies in the video; normal people attending the gig transform into said zombies throughout the course of the video. The underwater scene was Amy's idea. She also designed two of the costumes she's wearing in the video. The crimson corset cost her $2,500, the biggest amount of money she’d ever spent on a piece of clothing. The other outfit had been stitched by Amy herself. "It's white and has a lot of shreds. It reminds me of something someone who died would wear.” The idea of them came to her while she was nursing an illness in a hotel in Los Angeles.<br />

''Written by: [[A. Lee]], [[B. Moody]] and [[D. Hodges]]''<br />
<br />
Based on a poem written by Ben Moody. He's also reading it in the background. A slowed-down sample from the song is known as [[Demise]] (See [[Eternal]]).<br />
<br />
The female vocal ensemble is composed of Suvi Petrajajvri, Sara Moore, Catherine Harris, and Samantha Strong.<br />
<br />
According to MutantQuasar, an [[EvBoard|Evboarder]], the Latin chanting repeated throughout the song, translated to english, means:<br />
<br />
''O Jesus, King most wonderful!''<br><br />
''Thou Conqueror renowned!''<br><br />
''Thou Sweetness most ineffable!''<br><br />
''in whom all joys are found!''<br><br />

<br />
''[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]''<br><br />
<br><br />
I still remember the world<br><br />
From the eyes of a child<br><br />
Slowly those feelings<br><br />
Were clouded by what I know now<br><br />
<br><br />
Where has my heart gone?<br><br />
An uneven trade for the real world<br><br />
Oh! I, I want to go back to<br><br />
Believing in everything<br><br />
And knowing nothing at all<br><br />
<br><br />
I still remember the sun<br><br />
Always warm on my back<br><br />
Somehow it seems colder now<br><br />
<br><br />
Where has my heart gone?<br><br />
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger<br><br />
Oh! I, I want to go back to<br><br />
Believing in everything<br><br />
<br><br />
''[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]''<br><br />
''[et triumphator nobilis]''<br><br />
''[dulcedo ineffabilis]''<br><br />
''[totus desiderabilis]''<br><br />
<br><br />
''As the years pass by before my face''<br><br />
''[totus desiderabilis]''<br><br />
''As wars rage before me''<br><br />
''Finding myself in these last days of existence''<br><br />
''This parasite inside me I forced it out''<br><br />
''In the darkness of the storm''<br><br />
''[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]''<br><br />
''Lies an evil''<br><br />
''But it's me''<br><br />
<br><br />
Where has my heart gone?<br><br />
An uneven trade for the real world<br><br />
Oh! I, I want to go back to<br><br />
Believing in everything<br><br />
<br />
Oh! Where? Where has my heart gone?<br><br />
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger<br><br />
Oh! I, I want to go back to<br><br />
Believing in everything<br><br />
<br><br />
I still remember<br><br />
<br><br />
''Iesu, Rex amirabilis''<br><br />

Exodus is one of Evanescence’s earliest recorded songs. It was released on the [[Evanescence EP]] in December 1998. It should be noted that Amy Lee plays the piano on this track as [[David Hodges]] didn’t join the band until 2000.<br />

''Amy from EvThreads:''<br />
<blockquote>...Its just hard because you're your own worst critic and I hear myself say "my black backpack stuffed with broken dreams" and want to shoot myself. I seriously can't listen to the verses to that song without squinting. But I don't deny that there was a magic in those early songs. Each one was so exciting to us, we were just learning that we had the ability to make our favorite music.<ref>http://www.evthreads.com/showpost.php?p=452701&postcount=314</ref></blockquote><br />

== Lyrics ==<br />
My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams<br><br />
Twenty bucks should get me through the week<br><br />
Never said a word of discontentment<br><br />
Thought it a thousand times but now<br><br />
I'm leaving home<br><br />
<br><br />
Here in the shadows<br><br />
I'm safe, I'm free<br><br />
I've nowhere else to go<br><br />
But I cannot stay where I don't belong<br><br />
<br><br />
Two months passed by and it's getting cold<br><br />
I know I'm not lost, I'm just alone<br><br />
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now<br><br />
Waking up is knowing who you really are<br><br />
<br><br />
Here in the shadows<br><br />
I'm safe, I'm free<br><br />
I've nowhere else to go<br><br />
But I cannot stay where I don't belong<br><br />
<br><br />
In the shadows<br><br />
I'm safe, I'm free<br><br />
I've nowhere else to go<br><br />
But I cannot stay here<br><br />
Oh! Show me the shadow where true meaning lies<br><br />
So much more dismay in empty eyes<br><br />

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 and final single off of Fallen.<br />

==Video==<br />
[[Image:efvideo.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Everybody's Fool]]<br />
The video, directed by [[Philip Stolzl]], is a live action video that portrays the life of a glamorous superstar (played by Amy Lee) who is really unhappy with the way she portrays herself in the media. She sells Lies consumer products (perfume, pizza, energy drink, and a little doll). Towards the end of the video she expresses deep regret for selling Lies in the first place. <br />
<br />
The video was filmed in Los Angeles in mid-April 2004. It quickly became a fan favourite.<br />
