Evanescence - Bring Me To Life Lyrics

Evanescence Lyrics

"Bring Me To Life"
(feat. Paul McCoy)

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 this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of 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 something more
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

"Bring Me To Life" was inspired by Amy Lee's future husband, particularly by their first meeting when they barely knew each other. She recalled, "I was in a really bad place, relationally, and going through a really hard time... And I felt like he could just see straight into my soul. That inspired the whole song."

The band's lead guitarist Ben Moody and keyboardist David Hodges co-wrote this song with Amy Lee. Moody said, "'Bring Me To Life' is about discovering something or someone that awakens a feeling inside them that they've never had before."

Paul McCoy is from the band 12 Stones. Evanescence needed a male vocal to get airplay more easily because all the similarly sounding famous bands at the time, e.g. Nickelback, Hoobastank and Chevelle, had male vocalists.

This song was the first single by the band that turned out to be a huge hit.

This song was featured in the film "Daredevil" (2003). It helped the song become a commercial and critical success, topping the charts in Australia, the United Kingdom and Italy.

album: "Fallen" (2003)
