i think this song is about being in a relationship bcuz shes talking about falling again... so therefore she loves this guy but hes either abusive or cheating on her and she has never done anything wrong to him and shes tired of him not noticing and shes drowning in her love for him and shes slowly losing it...

She took an incredible dump...it stinks and it just won't flush. She is probably a guest at someone's home and will be embarrassed if they come behind her. She is desperate to get this to go down. The "falling forever" means she running out of options.

Going Under = Baptism. The video even drives that point home further. "i died again(to be reborn), im going under, drowning you" dosent take a genious to figure out who she is singing to. i could go line by line...but this is basically a dear john letter to satan. the album is called "Fallen" *cough* i suppose everyone thinks that the song "taking over me" is about some guy....wrong.

well if ur going by the video this is what it looked like to me. it kinda looks like everyone is trying to change her. which might be y she sees everyone as the wierd faced vampire things. and when that dude is having the press conference of whatever at the beginning and there laughing at him like there ridiculing him and at the part where he's surfing the crowd but the girl goes throgh them and into the water. kinda like hes changed to do what everyone wants but she keeps doing what she wants.(im talking about musical wise) so thats y the crowd(the water) kept him aflout. then at the end she recognizes his change when she sees him as a vampire.

The abusive relationship she is referring to is that of herself and God. It's about shedding one's faith. It's not about a man.

going under by evanescence i think means that she is getting depressed and suppressed by the over-whelming people that are her fans.and that is exactly what i think. thank you

I think the song is in reference to Lucifer rebelling against God. Most of the lyrics seem to echo what he was problem thinking as we he fell from grace. This song would be perfect for the novel "Paradise Lost" by John Milton.

i think its about the voices in my head "Now I will tell you what I've done for you 50 thousand tears I've cried Screaming Deceiving and Bleeding for you" ive had to lie to people to do the things they ask me to do and they ask me to bleed quite often "Blurring and Stirring the truth and the lies So I don't know what's real and what's not Always confusing the thoughts in my head So I can't trust myself anymore " i get very confused with things that have happened and what ive imagined because theyre always stirring everything up in my head.

I think it's quite easy to realise the relationship is not a human one. You fans and supporters should take a look again at what the christian guy wrote.

I think that this song could have many different interpretations. But every time I hear this song, addiction comes to mind. The song says things like: "I'm tormented daily defeated by you" "Always confusing the thoughts in my head" I feel I connect very well with this song because I'm in the process of recovering from an eating disorder and that is a type of addiction.

I think that she's not happy with who she is so she tries to change her self but can't and she's drowning in her own unhappiness.

I completely agree with the interpretation of the person who said "Oh my god, it's not always about a guy!" I just want to say that if you're trying to interpret a song that has a music video, don't just focus on the lyrics. Pay attention to the video. It most times has a lot to do with what the song is about.

Hnestly evanecense aint a christian band...thats for sure... What i think this song means is shes tired of all the things shes done for her master...like a small little pet but doesnt get any sort of appreciation...or approval among her other peers. in the business of deceiving the masses...and this pisses her off... When she says shes going under i think it means she is going deeper...going more hard core cause where she is apparently isnt enough...but shes willing to lose it all including her sole...(kinda feel sorry if you ask me...thats if im ryt tho... hope im not) Shes on the verge of breakin...(im about to break) cause she has done alot but its never enough...screaming on stage...deceiving the masses (this aint no christian band...its far from it...peepes) and bleeding as she and her lost friends cut themselves in ritualistic belif so as to invoke evil dietys to help her n her friends perform onstage...but its still not enough...so she has to go under to get through...to her...master... if you ask me i think she should take a tip from marilyn masnon if she really wanted to get through...i don know what do you think...
