In an interview Amy said:
“In general, it is about life and the afterlife, and the fact that basically it’s short.” She went on to explain in more detail, “It’s my understanding of death, and my relationship with it, and life.”
Lee’s angelic voice soars over the longing of a piano and bold guitars as she sings, “Well, as much as it hurts / Ain’t it wonderful to feel? / So go on and bring your wings / Follow your heart / ‘Til it bleeds / As we run towards the end of the dream.”
Noting that it’s a very emotionally heavy song Amy said, “It’s my respect and appreciation for the fact that life is not going to last forever so you have to live now, you have to follow your heart, even when it hurts. That pain is something that you can’t take for granted.”
Lee has always been one to follow her heart both in life and through her music. When asked about her lyrical inspiration, she noted that, “Most of the songs on ‘Evanescence’ are going through a few actual experiences within the song, but it has a constant feeling, so they’re kind of vague, if that makes sense.”
