"bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
sealed with lies through so many tears
lost from within, pursuing the end
i fight for the chance to be lied to again"

jesus was bout at every limb by nails, and "sealed" to the cross by lies and betrayl. He fought through so much heartache only to pursue the end result and still fought for us, the liars in all of us..

"bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
sealed with lies through so many tears
lost from within, pursuing the end
i fight for the chance to be lied to again"

metaphorically bound by sins, hidden by lies of unbelief, forcing so many tears and losing an identity. Longing only for the end, but still caught up in the lies. Also, look at the voice in these 4 lines... Different voices playing different parts, almost like 2 personas. The male voice appears to describe christ. While the female voice is herself. All plays along with this interpretation.

"you will never be strong enough
you will never be good enough
you were never conceived in love
you will not rise above "

these are the lies she's telling herself, the lies that are bringing her down. She's hearing the words the devil's thinking inside of her.

"they'll never see
i'll never be
i'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
burning deep inside of me "

she does have a passion to feed some kind of longing of love, but is feeding on the wrong things.

"but through my tears breaks a blinding light
birthing a dawn to this endless night
arms outstretched, awaiting me
an open embrace upon a bleeding tree "

duh, christ. And the voice again christ saying there's a way out, the blinding light (star) birth (virgin birth) night (time of birth). Also meaning light as revelation, bringing a new world into the endless darkness of the world.

"rest in me and I'll comfort you
i have lived and I died for you
abide in me and I vow to you
i will never forsake you "

she and the dude are singing this together, almost as if they wish it upon each other, she's afraid to let go, and he's giving a promise.

Then she repeats those other 4 lines because she doesn't feel she can live up to the challenge. Then christ is yelling it back at her the truth. But she argues back, and the tie is severed at the break in music. Also the angellic ahhhh ahhing.

This song is the inner battle Amy was experiencing with herself, saying in her mind "you'll never be strong enough enough..." as at the time of Origin through to Fallen she was depressed.

From what I've heard, Amy Lee was /not happy/ during the recording of this song. Thus it's only natural the song is dark; she is not the most well off of us in terms of personal history. Fan-girlish facts aside, the song is ours to interpret. Songs rarely have one set meaning, but the writer usually means to simply give us a story and let us make it ours. That's what makes Evanescence such a well-liked band: their lyrics touch so many because they are open to interpretation.

The lyrics "you'll never be good enough you were not concieved in love" seem to refer to the concept of original sin. Song seems to me like person's inner conflict w/concepts of Christianity.

Hmmm you all think that every time,everywhere Satan is evil,and hat if this isn't true...
Maybe he says the part

Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

because,after all,he was an angel too,God's angel and he served him,he was his slave,for ever,can we really blame Satan for willing freedom?
I don't think so...,Satan would never forsake to us,as God did to him,and to all of us that judge him and seek the truth and don't believe all these lies...

The light that breaks through her/his tears is the truth,what he sees and a new voice calling him,and the ''evil voice'' behind is really,what the church hides from us,that God wants everything to be done his way,no matter what,even if he has to kill and forsake to our souls,wich he made himself only yo please his inner hunger of blood,death destruction and slavery

Well, I think it is religious, think about it, "rest in me and I'll comfort you, I have lived and I've died for you, abide in me and I vow to you: I will never forsake you"

Jesus Christ lived and died for us, if you seek his help, he will comfort you, and if you believe in him, when judgment day comes, he will never forsake you... That's what I think, maybe it's about Amy being all depressed and seeking help in Jesus, after all, it's not the only religious song she as, there's also October...

I would never have thought of this song as religious. I don't agree with all that crap that Evanescence is a Christian band.. They sing about suicide, abuse, ghosts and well... Fans will know. But I don't see how any of it is Christian! But anyways, I can kinda see how it alls ties in to being relgious and about Jesus and whatnot. I like the start of this song, and the music's really good all the way through. I think they could use this song in the future, it has potential.
