“Lies”, Evanescence, Origin (2000)

Songs called “Lies”, 10th in a series

This song is from Arkansas rock band Evanescence’s first full-length demo CD. They printed 2500 copies and sold them at concerts; these days the band apparently tells fans to just download the song from the Internet. I’m happy to comply.

Fun fact: I had no idea who Evanescence was. Until I actually played the video, I thought it was going to be, like, a lady R&B band. This is not meant as a knock on Evanescence. This is very much an admission of cluelessness by me.

Lyrics:

Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

[Chorus:]
They’ll never see
I’ll never be
I’ll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me

But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree

Rest in me and I’ll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Rest in me and I’ll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you

[Chorus]

I picked up my liquid eyeliner and looked at the clock and thought “yeah I can do this in three minutes” and I don’t think I have ever told myself a more blatant lie

please tell me when will you give it please? omg my url sucks. idk man im so sorry if this is rude or mean. :)

Not rude, not mean. But I don’t know when the ‘lies’ URL might become available.

Perhaps we could brainstorm a suitable URL that you would like better than ‘preteen’. Longer URLs seem to be the most readily available. “Dashed” URLs (multiword URLs with hyphens in places of word spaces) seem to be a popular choice.

I guess I tend to see the URL itself as relatively insignificant. It’s the content of the blog, the things you choose to reblog and the original items you post, that are most important. I just took a look at your blog, and while we (obviously) are viewing the world from different perspectives, I thought your content was engaging and painted an interesting picture of who you are. And blogging that content under the ‘preteen’ URL has a certain irony to it, especially given your statement that you’re not actually a preteen anymore, and given how Tumblr is supposed to be limited to people 13 years old and older.

In a way, given Tumblr’s age restriction, blogging as “preteen” kind of is like blogging as “lies”. I mean, you’re using your URL to advertise the fact that you’re an unreliable narrator, which is (obviously) something I find interesting.

Anyway, good luck finding another URL (if that’s what you choose to do) or continuing to use the “preteen” URL (if that’s what you choose to do).
