Evanescence: My Immortal Meaning
Song Released: 2003
My Immortal Lyrics
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is...

I think she is singing his thoughts. She Killed herself, he is the one who is thinking all of the words she is singing. She, from the other side, is seeing the devastation she left behind. Such an amazing song, whatever your interpretation of it may be!

Amy (the song writer/singer)'s son passed away from some type of disease and of course it would hurt any mother and that's what this song is about and I've herd from many people. (when you cried id wipe away all of your tears, when you screamed id fight away all of your tears, I held your hand through all of these years)my mother used to do that all the time and she still does, she guides me through the important things that I couldn't do alone and always says "what what I do if you weren't here for me to support you" it really hurts a mother or father or anyone who parented a child and for there son or daughter to die and have a drastic change like that would hurt extremely bad I couldn't even imagine and that's what she's saying the pain just gets worse and worse because everyday you think of all the memories and all of the things that child has left behind and it scars your heart more and more each time you think about them or see something from them, the pain keeps worsening.

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone (she's sick of being haunted by her dead husbands ghost who use to cheat and beat her, now he's back and haunts her...because she still loves him...but he hates that she loves him)
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase (her scars from her late husband are still there...physically and mentally)
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me (when he was alive she would take care of him and it mentally weared her out. and even in his death she takes care of him)
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me (she knew that he would hurt her, but in her eyes he was her man...the love of her life. She has now nightmares instead of lovely dreams...because he is now all she thinks about)
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase (same)
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me (same)
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along (its hard for her to be without him (even though he abused her...again she was so in love that she was blinded) and even though his ghosts his still there...she is still alone and realizes that he will never return)
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me (same) -
The song was original written by Ben Moody who wrote this song when he was 15 years old. It's based on a ghost whoes presence is still there after the person has died.
In the video of My Immortal Amy never touches the ground (almost) and is dressed in white which symbolize her death (ghost). And The guy who is wearing the suit in the beginning looks to be that he just came from the funeral of his wife or girlfriend. He is frustated and angry that he can't move on and sick of feeling these things. He is blaming the person who died for it that he can't move on. Oh and by the way Ben Moody also wrote another song for Amy. Hope it helps :) -
i have no idea what this song is about, but to me this song is dedicated to my best friend and first love Jeyson. In late 2007, Jeyson put the knife to his throat to call it quits. He could not bear the pain of rape from his father, the pain of loss from his mother, the whole incestual marriage between his father and his aunt and just...did it. He and I were in deep love with eachother. I too was raped, molested and hurt by my father. In the 2nd grade, when we met we clicked. He and I did EVERYTHING together. Eat the same food, dance in the rain, roll down hills, catch fireflies and shared our first kiss. To me, he was and still is my everything. When I pray, I pray to GOD and him. I sang this song at his ash spreading...his rebirth. I miss him each day, but this was our song. The first time I ever sang in front of people was this song at his ash spreading... --Amaya Devi Amane--

This song seems like it can be molded to fit any life situation. Right now, this is the one it fits perfectly for me.
I thinks it's about a guy (I'm aware she didn't write it) who is very close to Amy(<-- for story's sake). They're very close friends, or at least she thought they were. The problem is that she loves him and he knows it. And he loves someone else and she knows it. And even through him loving someone else, she stayed close friends with him. She was the one he turned to when the girl he loves left him. He shared everything with her. She wiped away his tears and held his hand, all caused by the girl he loved. She sacraficed her well being for his, and no matter how much it hurt to help him through his pain, shed rather be in pain than him. Then in the end, she finds out that their friendship may be a lie. It wasn't as much of a relationship as she wanted, bu it was all she had. To find out it was a lie hurt her so much. He was only using her for his benefit, because he knew she loved him and would do anything for him. Now that he's done suffering, she's left to take his place. She wonders if he knows that he causes her the pain that the girl he loved caused him. And even though she held his hand through it, he just walked away. He always had all of her, first of love and friendship, now of the memories that she knows were lies. She tries to forget him, but she's been blinded by his light, she cants see anything else now. She's dug herself into a hole that she will never be able to get out of. She regrets believing everything he said. -
When you'd cry I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
This could mean that she did everything for this person, and in return all he/she did was leave; taking her life with them and causing her pain
There's too much that time cannot erase
Could mean that time cannot make her forget all her pain -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

My ex boyfriend is who this reminds me of. We were together for about three years. When he was alive he said this song reminded him of me...why I don't know, but now after hearing it, it hit me like a ton of bricks. We had a deep passionate love in the beginning. Then he became physically abusive. I stayed after numerous attacks because of love and children. Then it came to be too much after he broke my back along my spine. I've had multiple surgeries and am forever hurt. I was angry for so long, but ended up befriending him because I still loved him. We moved on in our lives, I got married and he had other girlfriends etc. But, his exwife moved away w/their three children, his relationship ended, and he ended up taking his own life. This song reminds me of our relationship and the fact that I still have dreams of him and the pain and hurt is always here and time will never take away the memories.

meaning for IMMORTAL: Not mortal; exempt from liability to die; undying; imperishable; lasting forever; having unlimited, or eternal, existance.
this song defines a person who left physically but continues to live with thru every emotions felt, good or bad.... -
This song seems obvious when you've seen someone loose their spouse after many years of marriage. My father died after he and my mother had been married for 51 years. Every day for her is spent thinking about him. Psychologists say that you can become so angry and hurt about someone who has gone that you may actually blame and be angry at the person who died. You did all these things for them, you took care of them, the least they could do is stick around. One of the reasons why I think the song is so beautiful is because it describes so well a feeling that is so hard to describe. You loved the person more than life itself, they were part of you, they're dead and now you feel as if there is nothing left of you but the past.

I believe that the song is about Amy losing someone, but not in death. I think it means she lost someone in a relationship, or the person literally went insane.
-
i think this song has a wide possibility of meanings. i think it gives a hint of the narrators meaning however it can relate to everyone in a way which makes this song really special. it lets you have your own meaning to the song and i think it w=is truly a great song.

this song reminds me of my father. he is horrible, a druggy and a bully and just messed up i the head. i feel that this song says it all tbh. the memory haunts me and i will never be able to move on or forget and forget "these wounds wont seem to heal, this pain is just too real, theres just too much that time cannot erase". my sister sees him now, i dont know how she can look at him. i feel like i have no one to talk to hence the reason im telling all of you lot! :L i think this is a good song for me cuz my 6 year old self remembers it and it will stay with me for eternity.

My Addict boyfriend who i devoted my being to, left me and i can't put it behind me.
every word in this song rings true to the core
I think that everyone should take from the song as they feel rings true to them. thats the beauty of music, it speaks to everyone differently
