Bring me to life; lyrics:
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where II've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere col
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...
...(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 of this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were in the 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...
...Bring me to life<
Amy (the lead singer of the band) about the song:
"Basically, we go through life every day, kind of doing the same thing, going through the motions, and nothing phases us for the most part, then one day something happens that wakes you up and makes you realize that there's more to life than just feeling nothing, feeling numb. It's as if you've never felt before and just realized there's this whole world of emotion or meaning that you've never seen before. It's just like: "Wow. I've been asleep all this time,"
Many songs is actually about almost nothing, or about "small" things in life. This is not one of them. Some songs you first understand when you actually sit and listen and think about the text, not just hearing it.
Music should be more about bringing a message, not only to entertain. It's possible to do both.
