Evanescence – Bring Me To Life lyrics

Evanescence – Bring Me To Life lyrics

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and
Lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I Can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I Can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me, breathe
Into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I Can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I Can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen (frozen) inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only (only) you are the life among the dead

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I Can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid my blood to run
(I Can't wake up)
Before I come undone
(Save me)
Save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me)
(Bring me to life)

I believe this song means that when all of a sudden your life turns upside down. You feel alone and that nobody is there to help you get you through your pain. Then, you finally realize that you shouldn't take life for granted. Life is a privalege so don't act like it doesn't matter what you do. You feel like you need to be saved and woken up from this nightmare and the only way you can do that is by faith and never say never.

I think about god when I listen to this song. Everyone has their own take on a song and it is always unique. That's what I love about music, you can think about anything and sometimes if you're lucky, you get a message from god. I love listening to a song and closing my eyes, and seeing where the song has taken you to in your mind! Awesome feeling! : d

Great song! Evanescence is so original and very distinct. You can always tell them apart from anyone else because they combine metal with classical music. Of course, Apocalyptica does, too, but they sound nothing like this.
This song sounds like a final plea for help, like maybe she's suicidal, but its that almost secret 'help me'. I don't know. This can be seen in so many different perspectives, but that's just how I see it.

Love listening to this song for both the music and lyrics. For me, they speak of the apathy I feel in that dark place people call depression, which I stumble into when I lose direction. Here, my core is numb and I feel like I'm living a lie - not truly living. My outward appearance and actions, even my spoken desires and intentions, do not match the listless despair inside. I feel like my heart is asleep, and I desperately want someone (an external force) to break the spell - breathe into me, call my name and save me from the dark, bring me to life. Bid my blood to run, before I come undone - that is exactly what I wish I could ask for. It is a cold place and my heart aches with the cold (frozen inside). I know what I'm without and I crave it, but unlike in this song, I have a sneaking suspicion that the key to liberation is within, not without.

On the emotional side, this song seems to be about depression, regret, lost love, a cry for help. Alternatively, on the physical side (or both), it seems about regret of a drug overdose (the nothing I've become), and a cry for help (call my name) and use the narcan (Bring me to Life, Bid my blood to run). Definitely a cry for help and hope of redemption. Just a thought.

Deep within everyone is an abundant life. When we journey within we are confronted with numbness, pain, fear, etc. Having someone to lead us or hold our hand helps ease the journey deep within, getting past all the hardship, to find our true calling and the vast treasure awaiting there. It is an amazing beautiful song "Bring Me To Life"!
