Transcript

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's 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 inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead

All of this time
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there to follow 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 sacrifice.
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.

Meaning

Amy Lee once stated in an interview while on tour that this song was inspired when she met a friend of a friend: a total stranger who did not know her, yet could somehow "See inside her." When he spoke, his words "Woke her up inside." This encounter with a true "Word of Knowledge" inspired the hit that would launch her career.

Evanescence is often labelled as a "Christian band", so it's not strange to find a spiritual message all through this song, turning a simple love/friendship feeling into an elaborated existencialist vision of modern man and his inner void.

Cool, man. I love this song! And I love the video too (I had never seen it before). I'm not gothic, but I think Evanescence is a great group.
I'll give you 5 stars for that.
