And I know, I know I'll have to watch them pass away,
... Just get through this day.

Give up your way,
You could be anything ...
Give up my way ...
and lose myself? Not today.
That's too much guilt to pay.

Sickened in the sun,
You dare tell me you love me ...

But you held me down and screamed you wanted me to die.

Honey, you know ...
You know I'd never hurt you that way.
You're just so pretty in your pain.

Give up my way, and ... I could be ... anything ...
I'll make my own way ...
Without your senseless hate. ...
Hate ...
Hate ...
Hate ...

So, run ...
Run ...
Run ...

And hate me, if it feels good.
I can't hear your screams anymore.

You lied to me,
But I'm older now.
And I'm not buying, baby.

Demanding my response, Don't bother breaking the door down.
I found my way out.

... And you'll never hurt me again.

[suzaku]

OMG i finally bought it *-* My very own copy I love all songs !!!

She also did covers from Korn, Smashing Pumpkins, and A Perfect Circle. Are you jealous that she does it so well?

I bought Spin that had an article of Evanescence. I made scans, they'll be up soon.

It goes a bit deeper into her life as a kid (she was bullied... cause she dressed and acted different.) it talks about Shaun, Ben, her inspiration when she first began making music.
When Amy's mother heard some of the music she asked if she wanted to see a therapist XD my mom asked the same thing when she heard the lyrics of some of the songs.
It also talks about her sister.

There are two things that Amy asked us not to do. She asked us not to listen to You and to not talk about her sister. I get why now.

EDIT: (sorry if they're kinda crappy)

[micster]

I dident know she had a sister o-o

[xiaou-xijiang]

yeah. I remember reading about it on some site a few years ago. But I didn't know what happened to her, just heard that Amy didn't like people to talk about her.

EDIT:


(XD my newbiness at scanning magazines is starting to show. :3)

(is that my jacket? O.o)

[micster]

Thats one sexy scan <3

Her sister dead or somethin?

[xiaou-xijiang]

yeah. She died at age 3 when Amy was 6. "[her death] will always be apart of who I am. It made me see how this life is not so monumental. As a six year old, I was getting a perspective most people don't get until they're adults." -Amy Lee

[micster]

Ah, i just saw zis from the wiki

Lee had a third sister, who died at the age of three from an unidentified illness. The song "Hello" from the Fallen album was written in her memory. It is likely that "Like You" from Open Door was also about her; the lyrics are: 'I long to be like you, sis.'

[xiaou-xijiang]

yeah. let's not talk about it too much.
In that last scan in the group picture, if you look closely the shadows make it look like they all have horns. O.o

[micster]

Lmfao, i think that was the point, but hilarious all the same

[*+Dark.Night.Angel.+*]

We can talk instead of her other two sisters Carrie and Lori who sang background voices for CMWYS whic is very nice, on Amy's thanks she says is glad she could have them on the studio.

I have to say that I like more Lithium "Album Version" rather than the acoustic because the guitars and the strings give it a better melanchilic atmosphere...

Those are nice scans anyway and TLSIWOY was for... *****

I was going through the Fallen booklet, (which is heartbreakingly short 4 pages and only one long picture that takes up 2 pgs , I would have loved more pictures in the Fallen theme, I love it just a bit more than TOD's booklet theme)
And I was looking at the dedications (ben's was like 2 paragraphs, while Amy's was really short XD)
and they both say thank you to their best friend.

AMY: And Ben, my best friend- for seeing me across a crowded room
BEN: And finally...Amy, my best friend. You will always have "all of me".

Seeing this made me kinda sad. I miss Ben. Even if he may be holding a grudge and wouldn't have helped the band in the least if he stayed, I kinda miss how they used to act around each other. But I guess, even if you love them you have to let 'em go, for them and yourself.
Its kinda weird to see old concerts and preformances with them together now. O.o I'm so used to him being...ya know not there.
I also miss David, () I liked his song Fall into You. Amy's little insert at the end was heavenly sounding.

Thanks, they're my first scans and I was worried they'd be crooked or fuzzy or something.

TLSIWOY was for her long ago abusive relationship, (from her clues in the article) if that's what ***** means. I'm so bad at guessing games. X3

And I enjoy the Lithium from the album better too. the acoustic is nice with the sttrings and all, but it reminds me too much of Hello (which was basically its own acoustic mix XD) and gives off a whole 'nother tone IMO.
