死前的絮語：Evanescence - My Immortal

My Immortal是Evanescence最受歡迎的作品，其特別之處就是一直遙滾的他們，
突然創作了一曲抒情作品，Amy的天籟之音在這曲更是表露無遺
奈何，這首樂曲因為用上慢板，所以感覺更份外陰沉
單看歌名My Immortal已是奇詭，本應是代表神聖純潔的名字，
唱出來卻是何其哀怨，更像一首安魂曲，
再看看歌詞，就像一個人在死亡降臨前，用最後氣息呼出的一首詩
有說，這是關於童年陰影的一個故事，
但一對戀人分開後，把已逝去的戀人當作聖人，
那種將死還生的愛恨流離，豈不也是如此？

I'm so tired of being here
待在這裡我累壞了
Suppressed by all my childish fears
被童年的恐懼壓抑著
And if you have to leave
如果你一定要離開
I wish that you would just leave
我想你能就此離開
'Cause your presence still lingers here
因你仍在此迴盪
And it won't leave me alone
不會輕易的放過我

These wounds won't seem to heal
這創傷無法治癒
This pain is just too real
這痛苦已太真實
There's just too much that time cannot erase
有太多事情 無法用時間磨掉

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
以往你哭泣時 我會拭去你的淚水
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
以往你驚嚎時 我會驅走你的恐懼
And I held your hand through all of these years
我曾握著你的手走過風雨陰霾
But you still have all of me
但你還在我心上縈迴不離

You used to captivate me by your resonating light
你總是用幻光來蠱惑我
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
被你遺棄的殘生把我束縛
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
你臉容總出沒在我美夢中
Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me
你聲線總吞沒我的理智

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
我一直嘗試說服自己你已離開
But though you're still with me
但儘管你仍在我心上
I've been alone all along
我已注定孤單一生

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
以往你哭泣時 我會拭去你的淚水
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
以往你驚嚎時 我會驅走你的恐懼
And I held your hand through all of these years
我曾握著你的手走過風雨陰霾
But you still have all of me
但你還在我心上縈繞不離
