Evanescence - Bleed Lyrics (Demo)

Lyrics to the song Bleed by the american rock band, Evanescence.
From the Pre-Fallen demos.
Lyrics:
How can I pretend that I don't see
What you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself and turned away
I must be dreaming
We all live [and]
We all die [but]
That does not begin to justify you
It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No, I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not the real life
No, I must be dreaming
Help! You know I've got to tell someone[note 1]
Tell them what I know you've done [you've done]
I fear you
But spoken fears can come true
We all live [and]
We all die [but]
That does not begin to justify you
It's not what it seems [not what it seems]
Not what you think [not what you think]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]
It's only in my mind [just in my mind]
Not the real life [Not real life]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]
We all live [and]
We all die [but]
That does not begin to justify you
It's not what it seems [not what it seems]
Not what you think [not what you think]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]
It's only in my mind [just in my mind]
Not the real life [Not real life]
No, I must be dreaming [I must be dreaming]
Not what it seems
Not what you think
I must be dreaming
Just in my mind
Not real life
I must be dreaming
**I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING**

I can't believe this song didn't make it onto an album. One of the best Goth songs ever written (in my opinion).

[@valentineshorror]

Argeed

[@olliehop20]

i seriously wish this made it on the album... I wish i could get my hands on this song!!

[@jessicaserra2928]

Maybe it was WAY too dark? Or maybe no one wanted to hear the real stuff? ;P

[@hayleygallacher9345]

Totally agree it's such a great song 💖🎵

[@matheusjezini]

If they made an album with all the pre-fallen unreleased material it wound BANG!

There actually is heaps of pre fallen material check out the website evanescence reference

I’ve been a victim of domestic violence for years.. this song gives me what I need to feel right now. Thank you Amy

[@jessicaserra2928]

I understand what your feeling I was a victim of rape and domestic violence so I get it bruh (or sis) :)

Same. Amy went through a horrible abusive relationship as a teen and I connect so much with her experiences and emotions.

[@MrMAIRENEE]

I hope your situation got better ❤

Zabawne ale....To samo ogólnie o tej muzyce dawniej mówiłam. I tak czułam na tamten czas.Zabawne ile z tych tytułów,tekstów poczułam jakby było o mnie,o moim życiu ...😮Dziś to wspominam. Wspomnienia zostały ale patrzę już z innej perspektywy. Nowe ja😊I wciąż kocham ta muzykę z tamtych lat....To było na tamten czas wszystko dla czego żyłam😊🙃😮Cóż za zbieżność to była 😊Niesamowite do dziś.Chyba moja dusza nigdy się nią nie znudzi (ta muzyka).😮❤

[@ThatVideoMakingKid]

It's on evanescencereference (dot) info. Along with every single Evanescence song ever made up until Fallen. And Amy and the band know about this and are okay with it. In fact, they encourage fans to download and listen to their old stuff. That don't sound like treating her fans like shit to me.

[@ArkaeaFCL3]

I love this band so much 😍🤘♥️

[@fabyraqu3l]

Omg, haven't listened to this in a long time.. Still gives me the chills

[@solid1128]

Come and listen again 😊

[@vegitabuu5253]

For sure!

[@deev4146]

The best most relatable music to ever exist. The most soul piercing, otherworldly beautiful, radiant dark angel of a voice I've ever heard. I'll forever be so grateful to find her music. She's saved my life many times. Thank you, Amy. I'm forever grateful I got to witness your angelic voice in concert.

[@sereneblack199]

I'm kind of obsessed with this song write now.

[@CommunistHam]

[@RobertaRSantos]

All these unreleased songs are sooo good ! and this guy who used to sing with amy, their voices matches so much, it would be cool to hear them together again.

I grown up with these songs in the back ground as my sisters listen to them and they r a lot older then me but as I'm older now I really do like evanescence

Damn, it’s YEARS later and this is still AWESOME.

I was Goth then and I am goth still because of this awesome song.

[@FarmerDingus]

so many years of looking for this song and I FINALLY found it!!

[@JackieTheVampire]

2:42-2:58 my favorite part!

[@RuruFIN]

One of the best tracks EVER

[@CHAD-fr4hh]

Oof I've been so into Evanescence a whole lot lately. I've always been into them as a band but lately way more than ever. And it's been great to discover brand new songs that I haven't heard before and instantly loving them. Super epic feeling. Aha.😎

[@just.a.guy522]

It's either about witnessing a murder or witnessing a suicide attempt

[@Mel16Ish]

Or physical abuse within household.

[@laurahorlle1603]

interesting perspective of the lyrics, I`ve always thought it was about knowing she was cheated on or something like that. Your reading is much deeper...

[@roninpharaoh]

I thought it was about sexual abuse

[@xenomorph-2017]

I think it's the first

[@silenthell7045]

Witnessing a murder is the right

[@helsilva]

Demo songs need to go on Spotify

[@EGO_200]

This may be my favorite evanescence song,

[@mrsjoycearupert9124]

Dear Video Making Kid, I really appreciate your videos-they're well made and very legible. Keep up the good work! Love, Grandma Ev.

I feel like someone in her life killed someone and then tried to justify it by saying "we all die"

[@ThatVideoMakingKid]

It's called Evanescent.

[@SecondChallenge]

Crying

[@lancurv3lo184]

I’m swirling around Evanescence oldest songs and I can’t run away. I miss them adding this industrial concepts into their songs.

[@laurahorlle1603]

Oh, I knew this song as I Must Be Dreaming, had no idea the real title was Bleed...

[@artur2855]

i love this song so so much

[@kateelario6235]

To me, this song is about a person realizing they've killed someone, and feeling awful about it. They're talking to themselves. Is that morbid?

[@lilsammywolfie3653]

Dude your awesome I love all your vids!!!..well the ones I've seen XD

[@Stenheart]

its not what it seems, not what you Think,no i must be dreaming, its only in my mind,not real Life, no i must be dreaming

Please keep going I love you all!

[@IamNinaCortex]

I feel like this song is about her foreseeing a crime scene…like she predicted a homicidal rampage (followed by suicide possibly) but she was only able to watch the massacre happen, and unable to do anything to help! She was having dejavus until she finally woke up from a coma and got revenge! Okay epic anime plot!

[@IamNinaCortex]

This actually sounds like my novel hol up

[@nightdarkangel7477]

After 2 years, this song reminds me to simon herikkson, specially "i must be dreaming", cuz, cuz those monsters he has to fight are only hallucinations (he is schizophrenic).

Why she never sing that on stage ?

[@user-ft7jb7rz6z]

i don't know why but i have a feeling this song was written by ben moody. it's not from amy. this is not amy's style. amy lee has been strongly influenced by ben and many old songs are inspired by ben's traumas and torments

I wouldn't that on the internet.

FONT NOW!!!!!!

Actually, the name of this song is I MUST BE DREAMING

[@JackieTheVampire]

Is this song about witnessing a murder?

[@JackieTheVampire]

絶望 AWESOME

[@JackieTheVampire]

絶望 I kinda thought so too, but I didn't want people to think I was weird so I just put it as "witnessing a murder"

[@merianjoyce9523]

In my humble opinion, it is about a murder.

[@sophiahooper9267]

I wonder if she never sang this on stage because it's to painful? For whatever she saw. I know she never sings Hello for the same reason .

[@SlasherHorrorMovies1]

this opening of this fersuon sounds like michael myers i dont know y lol

[@jessicaserra2928]

Anyone think it could be about witnessing rape?

[@Darkswordz]

Probably a murder.

I was thinking murder.

@@ilsewagner6843 yes, but not all goth sounds the same. Goth can be goth lyrically, which is what we have here. It doesn't necessarily need to sound like goth musically. You get what I mean lol?
