"Field Of Innocence" - Evanescence

"Field Of Innocence" by Evanescence
Origin - Track 06
LYRICS
[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]
I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh! I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
And knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh! I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]
[et triumphator nobilis]
[dulcedo ineffabilis]
[totus desiderabilis]
[As the years pass by before my face
[totus desiderabilis]
As wars rage before me
Finding myself in these last days of existence
This parasite inside me I forced it out
In the darkness of the storm
[Iesu, Rex amirabilis]
Lies an evil
But it's me]
Where has my heart gone?
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh! I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Oh! Where? Where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh! I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
I still remember
Iesu, Rex amirabilis
"Based on a poem written by Ben Moody. He's also reading it in the background.

According to MutantQuasar, an Evboarder, the Latin chanting repeated throughout the song, translated to english, means:
'O Jesus, King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable!
in whom all joys are found!'"

This woman and her beautiful voice has has helped me through so. so much in these last 10 years more than any band/singer ever has. Her lyrics are so meaningful and beautiful. I would love more than almost anything to meet her, I have always loved her voice and musical ability. Such gorgeous music, I don't know what I would have ever done without her. I love you Amy!

[@ChaoticLeftistW]

Whenever I feel numb, I listen to Amy and I just feel again. Even when I say Im too hurt to cry I just feel numb, Amy’s voice transforms my numbness to tears. I could cry to her music for hours, it helps me gain control when Ive felt like I’ve lost it.

[@karladibenedetto2772]

I love how people will mock others for relating to a song. Because they don't understand what others are going through and music is their escape. Why don't you get the fuck off your high horse and step back into reality. Love this song and if you came here just to start shit get the hell out. There will be a day when you know what pain is. Evanescence is badass and love them to death. Fan for life.

[@zywa1385]

Karla DiBenedetto i put this song on because im a depressed lost person or at least lost in my mind. I was super hurt today because i lost someone i loved more then myself and that person is very suicidal so now that they are gone im going crazy.

It sounds like you just became an adult. You will also eventually come to realize that the more you know, the more you realize you don't know. Fun huh?

[@Venda2100]

No matter what Amy sings she makes it beyond perfection. She is a dark goddess.

[@maxmustardman298]

This and Anywhere should have made it on Fallen, just like they are. Pure emotion, raw to the bone, not overproduced. Unbelievably good.

[@charlottejane4614]

Amy Lee! Du bist die beste und talentierteste Sängerin. Du bist unerreicht und unübertroffen. Ich höre täglich deine Musik und jeden Tag ist sie so schön wie zuvor!

[@Lowcast94]

i still remember the scent of the flowers after a moderate amount of rain fell the the day before with the crisp air and subtle scent of the soil with the perfume of the flowers. this with the church bells really brings me back to my childhood

[@lostmoon9055]

This song helps alot... I didnt have much of a childhood... Was raped at 7 and my mom died a slow and horrible death with cancer at 14. Was physically and emotionally abused by my sister ever since... Now that im on my own i feel so numb and almost forgotten what hapiness feels like... I just wish i can go back and enjoy what little happyness i had in life...

[@lilpocketvamp]

But you rose above that. I applaud you. Happiness will come in time.

[@melindaliberty2932]

you are so brave to stay strong though all that and to talk about it I've gone though similar things but not as bad hope there is happiness in your future

[@michaelmcgill8104]

I believe that you are still a beautiful person as adversity does not necessarily weaken an individual but it is evident that you need to be loved...

[@johnmago4786]

hang in there because there is an equalizer coming very soon. God's king and kingdom is going to refresh all things for the better.

[@KatieMRalph]

Lady Scythe Then you are not the only one, because this song guides me through the nightmares that I cannot deal with. I taught myself to say nightmares, you are wrong about me, you the worst, but no longer to hurt me I just don't know how to deal with it.

[@kero232]

Right on the childhood :(

[@28jander]

Yeah i know.

[@Blueskylar1995]

Where has my heart gone? An uneven trade for the real world! Oh! I, I want to go back to believing in everything And knowing nothing at all! I was raised in foster care, a horribly broken system! These lyrics speak to my soul!

[@AviationTV]

So fucking relatable it's quite sad, just shows how much your childhood meant to you.

[@kawaiizombie55cp29]

Hearing this song reminds what the child stars went through for sake of entertaining to give kids a childhood! Though the pain of just hearing these cold hearted and abusive producer's did to these children. Not getting the childhood they wanted bless their lives that they are living testimony to tell the story I believe everyone has a story to tell blessing to to Amy producing this song!😮❤‍🔥🙏

[@johnevans7495]

This incredible , beautiful song , one of my best music discoveries of 2021.

[@COMANMAMEY]

That´s what I like about this band, music and lyrics with meaning which doesn´t talks only about love and sex.

[@princessachica22]

I love how haunting her voice is in everything she sings. She hits me deep with each lyric she sings and I feel the song when she sings. I love her

[@bcuzofonna]

amy is truly a unique and beautiful person. it shows through her music and her passion. the band is incredible. theyre songs always have to do with something going on in my life at some time.

[@xellISback]

Sooooooooooo wundervoll. Die Lider von Evanescence haben einfach was ganz besonderes und dann auch noch Amy's Stimme. Es ist einfach ein Traum. Es passt einfach alles! Für mich ist Amy eine der besten Sängerinnen der Welt.

[@wilmacristina8364]

Isso que é música para os meu ouvidos 🎧🎶

[@LegendaryPhenom]

Song is beyond awesome, when we are adults and we see the world with no filters, we want to go back to being little kids, who think we know everything but have no clue about the real world as it is. Also this song can relate to people that were raped in a young age, "when has my heart gone ,trapped in the eyes of a stranger".

[@klesee4737]

DEEP.

[@joanna7350]

I don't mind being sick, but being raped is another.

[@KDaNinja]

"I still remember the sun Always warm on my back Somehow it seems colder now" Those lines are true for me.... :S

[@MissPigPurple]

Evanescence help me a lot with everything. Without evanescence I don't know where I would be. Amy Lee seems as though she is singing to me. I went through a phase of my life where I understood every word but now my mind is empty and I don't feel that way anymore. I will love evanescence forever. Even when I can't understand the true meaning. The good part of evanescence is that every song touches you, whether you know the meaning or not. Lets hope evanescence release another album! :)

[@castielwinchester3340]

Ah this brings me back. It reminds me of when I was growing up in Nova Scotia. Since the day I left home I feel that I've become a colder person. As Amy's singing she's reminding me of the world I once loved... I miss that feeling...

[@rizzapalomares1322]

[@arielneros8414]

I know how it feels to know reality and wanting to go back to being an innocent child

[@katie-rosea3346]

I can’t find a lot of music that make me feel like this. Her music makes me feel emotions that I experience often have clarity and make sense. Her music is clean and honest.

[@ravendarkheart7781]

I feel, like I'm looking at myself as a child like seeing him walk away from me slowly as the world goes from a field of flowers to a dark rainy city, it's raining and I'm clinging to my gun leaning against the wall of a brick building, I don't want to keep doing this, no more bullets, no more blades. I want to be that child again. That boy who even though his life was one of solitude, even though he was hurt and full of pain. He had his imagination to escape to. It wasn't much but there he could be what he wanted. As stupid as this will sound I feel like I'm right there as Amy sings, like she's saying "I know how you feel." Sorry about the whole...whatever you want to call this, I'm just expressive and all.

[@Bat_City_Bitch]

I could not agree with that vision more...

[@NikiKircherRoss]

imagination,my friend is a vision of what can be.SEEK IT and you will find happiness.

One becomes an adult as our childhood fantasies and beliefs dissipate with time. It's then when we realize how the earth bares its soul. The ugly and the beautiful.
