Evanescence - Hello

Still of my favorite song after all these years. Admittedly, I didn't understand what the title "Hello" got to do with school, playground, dreams et al.

But when I read that this song was written in remembrance of her younger sister, who pass away when she was just 6 years old. All these lyrics start to make senses again.

Well, I think she received a shocking news about the demise of her younger sister at school on a gloomy rainy day. But she just couldn't make herself believe that the news was for real, and in deep denial by communicating with her dreamy state of mind. Needless to say, she have to wake up from dreams eventually and accept the harsh reality.

It's amazing how she could still remember her emotional state so clearly now and expressed it fluidly in few sentences. I heard She never perform this song live as it was too emotional for her.

Amy Lee rockz!

Evanescence - Hello
Playground school bell rings again,
Rain clouds come to play again,
Has no one told you she's not breathing?
Hello, I'm your mind giving you someone to talk to,
Hello...

If I smile and don't believe,
Soon I know I'll wake from this dream,
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken,
Hello, I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide,
I don´t cry...

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping,
Hello, I'm still here,
All that's left of yesterday...
= THE END =
