Yay, next song!

For me, My Immortal was the theme of the time when a guy I really, really liked left me. I was kind of dark and he couldn't put up with it (or then he just got pissed because I wouldn't put out but I was already in love with him and that's pretty hard to undo no matter what). And when he left, I felt I couldn't get rid of him even if I never saw him again, even if we were in no contact, the ghost of him and the love I thought I could have just lingered there and I just wished to God I'd stop loving him. I felt MI is a story of a situation like that, maybe more than just about somebody who has died. Especially the part: When you cried I'd wipe away all your tears, when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears, I held your hand through all of these years but you still have all of me, it seems somehow almost bitter, like she's done all she can for him but he just left and now she's alone and she has nothing. She just wants to stop loving him, she doesn't even want him back anymore, she just wants to be in peace.
