Evanescence: Bring Me To Life Meaning
Song Released: 2003
Bring Me To Life Lyrics
Leading you down into my core
Where I’ve become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside

It's about god. Breath into me- breath of life from book of genesis. Wake me up inside is the holy spirit.a promise from god after Jesus assends into heaven in the book of acts. This is a problem for a lot of people who call themselves Christian. She admits she's been "living a lie" there's nothing inside. Read the book of acts. I dare you.
-
I think its about her boyfriend/husband how they meet and at first amy was sad and depressed but now with him she feels a wake and brought back to life
-
i THINK SHE SAYS THAT MUSIC IS THE ONLY CONNECTION OF HER TO EVERYONE. SHE FEELS DEAD AND INVISIBLE.
"I'VE BEEN SLEEPING THOUSAND YEARS" MIGHT MEAN ALL THE TIME SHE WAS A SINGER AND LOST CONNECTION TO THE REAL WORLD -
I suffer from BPD, and Amy's songs describe how I feel exactly, as though she is inside my own head.
-
I think this is about the singer being someone she doesn't want to be.
"I've been living a lie'=She was weak agenst peer presure when she was young or something. So, she becomes or does what everyone else is doing
'There's nothing inside'= After years, when she moves on or something, she's so just to being like everyone else, two faced.There's nothing unique about her anymore because she's like everyone else
'Bring me to life'= She realizes she doesn't want to be like everyone else. She wants to be herself, but needs help from someone because she's scared of being bullied again. -
this song is about someone being able to easily see into you, see who you really are instead of who you pretend to be. A person that is dead inside and frozen in the numbness of death. This person can bring you out, open up who you trully are and "bring you to life"
-
I agree with what everyone else is saying about this song.
But this song really hits me as a.. wake up call. Reminding anyone that is alive, but isn't really living? To Wake up, and realize that they're just living a fake life without meaning.
The beginning starts off with a "How can you see into my eyes like open doors"
and continues with "...without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold."
I think this part really shows how Amy or anyone who can relate to it is.. empty on the inside, and doesn't really have a purpose in life and can be easily read.
without a soul, the person is just sleeping and wasting his or her life in an area cold.
Another part that i really felt was..
"Save me from the nothing I've Become"
this reminded me of a time where I just sat there.. watching TV, gloating of all the pain i didn't want to face in real life.
Or when I just went to school did my work, hung out a bit, then went to sleep and did the same thing over and over again.
I think the repetitiveness of amy falling off the building backs me up in saying that.
We go in circles when we don't truly live.
So we need to take extremes sometimes.
That's my interpretation ^-^ -
well this song has many meaning i think.
first off i think its about a girl whos in love with this man but he doesnt love her back.shes unhappy and she wants him to help her be happy.in the end he sees that he DOES love her.
"ALL OF THIS TIME I CANT BIELEVE I COULDNT SEE KEPT IN THE DARK BUT U WHERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME"
he is loving her.
it could also be about how shes unhappy and he makes her happy but leaves her.
theirs no right answer tho.only the song writer can tell us. -
She is clearly saying she sold her soul to the devil an how she has become cold inside. 2 pac says in a song " am I just cold or is it cause I sold my soul! Listen to my immortal an imagine she is talking to satin an it will blow your mind an hopefully open up your eyes to all of the fast idols in Hollywood. Don't think this shits real listen to these songs by eminem; 25 to life; say goodbye to Hollywood; my darling. Also get on YouTube an research the Illuminati! Then if that's not enough also on YouTube watch the 11 part series called" the music industry exposed" an soon it will all make sense people. Believe in God an Jesus. An not Hollywood's God aka satin!
-
I think that she's singing to the god of death, Hades or Orisis
-
I know that this song may have a lot of meaning to the writer and many of you as well.
I have heard this song many times on the radio without any thought to it.
Two weeks ago I was on Duty as a EMT and lost a 59 year old patient.
We did everything we could to save him. My shirt was soaking wet from doing compressions only stopping to shock his heart five times. We ended in the ER with the family watching. When the Doctor called it there was wailing and screaming. You never forget the sounds!
I hear the song and all I could do is see his face as we worked on him.
Now go back and listen to the song as if it were some one helpless and wanting to be saved in an ambulance!

This song is in fact about Amy Lee and Josh(ua) Hartzler's rekationship. You see, before she married him, she felt lifeless and basically sick of being alone. But,after she married Josh, She felt as though she had been brought to life. If that makes sense...
-
she is prolly talking about how shes possessed. shes basically not alive anymore. she wants someone to wake her up. "bid my blood to run" she wants to kill herself but her state of pssession wont let her. she needs someone to save her from the dark. darkness is usually referred to as satan. she says she needs to be saved from the darkness. "save me from the nothing ive become" she wants to be saved from being souless she has become empty from possession. she needs someone powerful enough to save her from this state of disturbia as say jesus. this song can be view as begging jesus to save her from the evil entity that has cosumed her soul and left her empty. she is saying that she wants to be awakened, or brought back to life the "darkness" has left her dead. she is being controlled by this entity. she cant do anything for herself because she is vulnerable. she is not herself anymore she does know who she is and she cant wake up from possession. this is how i view the song. to me it makes the most sense if u think about it.
JESUS SAVES LIFES, HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT. THE COMING MESSIAH AND THE FLESH OF GOD. HE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH AS THOSE WHO DO NOT. HE IS COMING. BE READY. "For god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that those who believe in him shall not perish, ut have eternal life."

Amy wrote the song because she was in a unhappy relationship and the relationship was making her really miserable but she hid what she was feeling. This random person came up to her in a restaurant and looked at her and said are you happy so it's like the person knew she was unhappy just by looking in her eyes hence the "how can you see into my eyes like open doors" part.
Amy said that bring me to life is about "Open-mindedness. It's about waking up to all the things you've been missing for so long. One day someone said something that made my heart race for a second and I realized that for months I'd been numb, just going through the motions of life." -
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
