Es ist jetzt gut drei Monate her, dass ich in Paris auf dem Evanescence Konzert war. Noch deutlich länger her ist es, als ich mir die richtig geniale CD "Fallen" dieser Gruppe zugelegt hatte und mitten in meiner ersten großen Begeisterungsphase für Ben, Amy und Co. steckte. Nun scheint also eine neue Single aus dem Album ausgekoppelt worden zu sein, so dass man nun öfter mal über eben jene stolpert. Sei es im Radio, in TV-Trailern oder wenn man sich, wie ich es gestern getan habe, mal den Film "Daredevil" anschaut (, der gar nicht so schlecht ist, wie ich es von überall her immer gehört hatte...). Überall hört man nun also dieses wunderschöne Lied - mit Recht! Und ich bin wieder vom Evanescence-Virus infiziert...

My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all of my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
Because your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

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've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
But 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

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

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've held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
And though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
