Evanescence - Understanding - Lyrics

Evanescence Understanding with lyrics.
Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody
The first song ever written by Ben Moody and credited as the second song ever written by Evanescence. The audio clips in the song come from the movies My World Dies Screaming, also known as "Terror in the Haunted House"
(1958), except the line "We're supposed to try... that is real" and "God, just don't hate me.. because I'll die if you do" which are from When a Man Loves A Woman (1994). Ben Moody has referred to the song as a "Cheesy 7-minute Goth anthem".
The band began to play this song live again in October of 2007.

This is probably the most hauntingly beautiful song I’ve ever heard.

This song takes me passed the darkest part of my mind. Passed all the screams, passed all the despair. To the still and tranquility. It’s peaceful here. Maybe I can stay here a while?

[@NickRyanBayon]

I think the meaning of this song is we need to open our eyes to our pain, accept it, wether it be a dark past, a tragedy that haunts us, out own inner darkness whatever it is, look into it and when you do you can break this cycle, and you can end your suffering and really heal, even though the event still happened the event isn't what hurts us still but rather the act of rejecting it. You can't wash any of it away, can't wish any of it away, can't cry any of it all away or even try and rip any of it away because that's the pain the act of rejection causes it. Just accept it and you won't suffer anymore, be healed by accepting while also becoming stronger by embracing yourself how you are. Great song!

Why do you find that line so beautiful? I can't really get a grip on what she means with that, I guess it's something subjective.

[@wardarahman1757]

In my opinion it means: viewing someone else living their life going through turmoil/ happiness and relating to it so deeply but unable to do anything or take action in yourself. Basically- depression lmao. Atleast, that’s what I think it represents. But yeah ur right it is a very vague lyric.

you listen to evanescence!! sick

[@kainenburgess64]

A very good interpretation of the song. "The pain that grips you ... ... releases life in me" -- One person has just revealed to his deepest, heartbreaking secrets to his partner. I'm sure many of you have felt this: when you and another person you love have a moment where your heart's desires are poured out for each other to see, it's *unbelievably liberating*, and you're like "Oh my God, I'm not alone in this .. I never imagined I'd find someone to share this with." Sharing something mutual and so deep is like *freeing yourself* from the bonds of the silence that you've set upon these secrets ("Releases life in me"). "In our mutual shame ... ... from who we are" -- Both these two people deal with their problems by withdrawing from the outside world, because no-one else understands them. (nb: This isn't always true; just because no-one around you doesn't understand you, doesn't mean there's NO-ONE in the whole world who isn't feeling exactly what you feel - it just takes the hand of fate to find each other. Like the song says, "You're never alone honey .. never." :) Anyway .. "Please don't be afraid ... ... screaming at our hearts" -- She is telling him (or him to her, if you want :P), "Don't be scared when the next day dawns, because now that we've shared everything, we can get through this together, and not fight the battle alone anymore." The line "The dawn will break the silence screaming at our hearts" means that by the time morning comes, what they shared the previous night would have truly sunken in, and they now realised how to fight their fears. "The life that flows inside of you, Burns inside of me" -- The life that he's endured, though it seems normal and the only reality for him, seems so utterly cruel to her and burns her inside, makes her sad for her partner's despair. :( This line is the most powerful one in the whole song to me. "Hold and speak to me ... ... bear it all alone" -- The couple are exchanging vows of mutual trust; basically "Promise me you'll get through this and I promise you that I'll be with you until the end. Don't reject me, because I can't live without you." This also ties in with "God, please don't leave me .. because I'll die if you do." "Can't wash it all away ..." etcetera. -- No matter how hard they try, neither of them can erase the past

Then tour, a little break and then again world tour and then Synthesis in 2017 and then again world tour. Another will start again in a month and then a new album at the end of this year. The fact that Ev is not mainstream music does not mean that they have disappeared. They never left, just follow them.

[@DanielLagunaIHS]

This is not "her" song, it's a song from Amy, Ben and David, the real Evanescence band. After Ben left, it's Amy solo career with the name Evanescence on it. All the fame and glory came from the work of those three. Amy solo career is decent, but not even close to what the original Evanescence was, they were awesome together.

I love this song its beautiful.you can tell that shes talking about someone she really loves and lost. Its sad, but I understand where shes coming from to have someone you love hate you kills you. Theres no way to ever get rid of those memories, nothing. You cant wish the pain away and you cant cut deep enough to make you forget the hurt. But, what makes this song sadder is when he says shes not alone. I wish the one I loved was still here with me, but maybe eventually the imprint of him will go away.

Interesting how rape can be suppressed when you're still in diapers. All these years I didn't have a clue why I always panicked when someone got too close, broached the subject of wanting their first time with me, and always screamed and thrashed in my sleep.

Ben's sexlst fans never stop being ridicuIous. Understanding was written by Amy on her keyboards and lyrically too. Ben added guitar, co-writing it with Amy. Amy herself confirmed this. Also Ben even said he doesn't like this song calling it a "ridiculous goth anthem". His sexIst fans are so detached from reaIity.

Композиция которая захватывает дух, вспоминая о ней не могу со спокойной душой ее слышать, сразу вспоминаю 2009 год, 11 августа, день который поменял все в моей жизни, в этот день ушёл из жизни мой родной любимый дядя, не по своей вине, попал в ДТП, врачи боролись за его жизнь, но вечером после операции он так и не вышел с наркоза, спустя 11 лет каждый год, слушаю данную композицию с трудом, вспоминая о его нелепой гибели...

[@genesismanananggal]

Thank you Amy Lee for comforting me during some tumultuous years. Thank you

[@bukowskibuk3056]

This song is the heart of Evanescence.

[@jodiquirk8690]

Time only increases the pain!

[@jodiquirk8690]

Still burning inside of me!

[@95BLUERAY]

There's just too much that time cannot erase

[@htitk]

jodi Quirk time is a factor and the demons what lay with you only bring more pain from within.

[@majorskies7091]

Most depressing song for driving into a sunset with your convertible open rooftop car.

[@niaei]

Or driving under rain

[@Delaneyisbraindead]

My friend just passed away, this was his favorite Evanescence song. He had lyrics from it tattooed on his arm. This is such a beautiful song and it’s helping me grieve. Thank you Amy and Ben.

[@nllieeee6132]

10 years later, this song still has a emotional impact on me. I’ve never heard a beautiful unique voice like Amy’s. Wish she stuck to this unique style of music. So emotionally raw and beautiful.

[@soulreaper8436]

One of the best from evanescence

[@bighand1530]

Agreed

[@hakimdu07]

To be honest i think it's the best

[@ghostygamergirl8400]

I will literally never stop listening to this masterpiece

[@randalynfisher-pt9yp]

[@patriciaclark5652]

My school sweetheart passed away when a forklift driver hit the crane he was on and I can't carry on without you my handsome and I still love and miss you so much my handsome 😢😢😢😢

[@rachelmoody6882]

as ive gotten older this song has only gotten more relateable

[@new123zxc]

This song is about our imperfections. We try to hide them but when the darkness fades away and they come to light, there will always be someone who will still love us regardless.

[@ammie4eva]

That's a very nice and positive way of viewing this.

[@TheSundayCall]

@@ammie4eva But it does not work.

[@new123zxc]

@@TheSundayCall Try to think of it as the feeling of shame/hurt/sadness singing this to you

[@MsLisa1114]

I love that ❤❤

[@jamesmulrooney2452]

This song and field of innocence are a ritual to help me when I'm feeling depressed.

[@iammetal7635]

"tell me you will live through this and i will die for you" i wish even some of the younger generation realize how great Evanescence is.

[@gavinparish8871]

dude it took me like 14 years to find this, I remember hearing this song while I slept, and the dreams this stuff gave me when I was five, had a stereo system id sleep next to with all the evanescence songs... God im so glad I found this.

[@kaygirl2016]

The beginning part is the same one that's in Whisper! I never knew that! So adding this song to my Evanescence playlist.

[@evilwolf8978]

Really?????

[@joshspeed6301]

Evanescence helps me with my spiritual reflection.

[@KatherineCunning]

❤

[@nemetri4238]

❤️

[@MITCH0760]

My song to the woman I love with all my heart, I know I cant be what I want to be in your life but I thank God for the precious moments that I was with you

[@ariadnerodrigues5464]

It's sad that we can't only forget everything that hurt.. it's amazing how Amy changed pain in something so deep and pretty. 😢

[@adriannad.5854]

Her voice is so magical, I love her songs so much and lyrics, but this song is exceptional. Amy I'm grateful for your music. It's always with me in the hard days and heals my soul. She's an Angel on Earth ❤️

[@some_metalhead]

"We're supposed to try to be real. But I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real." "You're not alone, honey. Never, never." "God please don't hate me. Because I'll die if you do." These words, along with the opening monologue, and not to mention the lyrics have spoken to me like no other. There is no need to fear loneliness when we all share the same fear. And because of that, we are never truly alone, are we?

[@MunderstandingK]

No, we are not alone. Even seven years apart

[@dionberginbergin1945]

She has the same trouble as we all have. But shes in a legion of her own

[@randalynfisher-pt9yp]

I feel alone even when I’m around people

[@jhencec]

I remember being 17 when I listened to this song and the way it crushed my soul (still does) it was like the sadness spoken through this song understood everything I was going through is just sublime

[@ChaoticLeftistW]

5:42 I can hear pain in her voice ❤️🖤

[@razachrisok]

Its the song for my funeral

[@BlackWolfe93]

+Chris Santivañez Mine too

[@DumSpiroSpero95]

Every time I hear this song, I break down. It means so much to me, this song.

[@keniaortiz6694]

Why is it not on spotify?😢❤️❤️❤️ one of my top all time favorite songs

[@childofdarkness4694]

[@jamesmusisca8442]
