Better Without You Lyrics:
Stand in the front but shut up till I tell you to go
Don’t get caught up in pretend cause you’re not in control
Cause this is my world, little girl you’d be lost on your own
Just hating and waiting and saving up
I’ll do you a favor and save you if you sign on the line
Don’t worry your pretty little head about the future its all fine
Whether you’re wrong or you’re right
doesn’t matter you’re not up to the fight
Keeping my head down cause they don’t know what I know now
As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I’m better without you
Now look around and remember your friends if you can
Feeding the flames till there’s no one to blame its on your hands
Lost in your lies pay the price with our lives you’ve gone mad
and there’s no way out cause we all know you’re hollow
As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I’m better without you
Not enough, not enough, not enough to throw it all away we’d still be falling, we’re fallen
Turn it up, turn it up, never gonna shut me up again your time is over
It’s over now
As empires fall to pieces
Our ashes twisting in the air
It makes me smile to know that
I’m better without you

[@GracefullyAutistic]

Does anyone else think that this song is about her early years of being in the band and also their first manager that she fired due to sexual harassment? Because I remember her saying in several articles how a lot of people, both inside and outside of the band, tried to make decisions for her and take advantage of the fact that she was a young inexperienced girl in a predominantly male field back then, and how The Open Door kinda reflected some of her triumph over those hurdles. And once I saw the first two verses of this song I immediately thought of that. I honestly would love it if they released commentary for each song on this entire album so that I could know for sure! But I want to know about the other songs too because a lot of Amy’s songs have interesting and intimate stories behind them.

Not going to lie I've listened to this more than I can admit and I really like it. They've finally delivered the heaviness I've always imagined they could have. I could totally imagine a new style of music videos with this album, no more Goth themes or underwater scenes. This has such a grunge, heavy, rough sound that makes me see the band in a post-apocalyptic setting. Would seriously love to see that.

[@pato10111]

Agreed. You can really hear their Korn influence coming through now. Guitar sound is the best I have heard from any band in 20 years.

This reminds me so much of old Evanescence and I love it for that. Amy's voice is just immortal at this point. The mixing is definitely an issue though; I want to hear her vocals with instrumentals in the background, not the other way around. If that's fixed, this would be their best song in years (if not one of their top ones overall).

@@Idedicatethishandletomycats I guess so. Thing is that... When Fallen and The Open Door were written it wasn't a band effort. It was Amy + one guitarrist. Since 2011 record Amy is trying to give more credit and notoriety to the band. People used to say the band was off in their first record. And in a way it was bc drums were half programming and beats, bass wasn't noticeable at all, and now I believe Amy wants to balance it all with making the band sound more in the forefront in contrast of other records were she was overpowering the band. I also think once you listen to it a few times you are able to catch everything. I now do after a day listening to it

​@@MD-zf9dp there's no way this could be intentional. You can't get around this type of mixing with "deeper connections". Those are just flawed excuses. It literally should not sound like this if everything has been done properly. The vocals get drowned by the instrumentals, leading to a very muddy sound. A professional mixing engineer would be crying when hearing it. While I may not be one myself, I've at leastbeen producing music for almost 10 years.

[@paperfl0w3r]

And for those commenting on Amy's voice being too low: consider it might be an artistic choice, not a mistake. Heavier songs generally have less loud vocals to give space to the instruments kicking in. I know we are not used to this considering Ev's songs but we have to remember that this time Evanescence is finally an independent band and they don't have that pressure to be "pop". "Pop rock" songs have very loud vocals. So we're kind of biased to like that more. We fans know that Amy is pretty much a perfectionist about her music and she is also a great producer. I really don't thing she wouldn't do this if it wasn't the intention. Also, Nick, the record's producer, is one of the best nowadays. Actually some people could have the same complaints about Halestorm's 'Vicious', another Nick's production. And for the record, one thing I don't like about Fallen is exactly the fact that sometimes you can't hear a lot of the textures on the background because Amy's voice is too loud, and that's why I really loved Synthesis: we could understand those songs from that perspective. I'm pretty sure TBT will be a heavy hard rock album with a lot of clever artistic choices.
