Away From Me - EvBoard

Cfw828 · 09-27-2004, 01:08 PM

Origin, track 10

David Hodges sings backup and plays piano in this song. Will Boyd plays bass on the song. It is his second appearance on an Evanescence record without being a full time member (the first was Solitude).

--
Away From Me

I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved
And I

[CHORUS:]
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
(away from this place I have made)
Won't you take me away from me

Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become

[Chorus]

Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live

[Chorus]

Lyrics by: A. Lee, B. Moody, D. Hodges

Yes he did, but his vocals aren't really focused on. They're more like harmonies in the background, but they do make the song sound complete.

In Away From Me? No such line.

This song is amazing. It's one of my favourites, certainly from 'Origin' anyway. I just feel like a lot of us can relate to this song, and its pain. I just feel like I know so much what Amy is singing about...thinking you can make it right, trying so hard to do this thing, be noble, be good, make yourself happy...and then getting a shock when one day you realise, despite all the good things you've done, it doesn't mean a thing. You feel trapped in a nightmare, and you can't believe you didn't realise sooner...and you have no idea how to get out.

I love this song. David Hodge's backup vocals really give the song quite a bit of personality. The lyrics are amazing too.

Alrighty, I have a question. In the last chorus, I could swear Amy sings "to f*ck myself" instead of "to find myself" but it's not ever listed on lyric things, and if this was the actual lyrics it would be the only Ev song (except for covers) to have a curse in it, so... but it could also just be something I'm hearing because the vocals are very layered in this part and David is singing "I look to you" or something like that in the background. Does anyone know or am I just crazy?
