Breathe No More - Page 2 - EvBoard

Just so I'm clear, as far as I know there's three versions of the song - the live version on Anywhere But Home, the piano only version on the Elektra soundtrack and the demo version with guitars and drum machine in. That right?

I dunno if anybody else realized this...but at the end of the demo version of BNM.....you hear the same exact morse code effect as you do in My Immortal.

I like the Elektra ST version much more than the other ones. Well,all three versions are beautiful. Amys voice is quite amazing. <3<3

I love the Elektra version, but it's too slow for my liking. But I just listen to it on the computer and speed it up SLIGHTLY with windows media player, so everything's OK. LOL

I think the song needs to be slow.

It's slow and haunting. Gorgeous. I learned the song by ear from the Elektra soundtrack and It's such a simple song, but beautiful.

This song is one of my absolute favorites by Evanescence. I just love the emotion, the lyrics, the music; everything about this song is simply breathtaking.

Finally she asks: "Which of us do you love?" meaning: "Do you love my soul or just my face?".

I agree! and the line: "lie to me convince me that i've been sick forever" means: convince me that i've been sick, just caring about my apeareance, and it will make sense when i wake up and see what is important!...

I love this song! i prefer the demo version rather the ABH acoustic version. because there in my opinion is the best amy's vocal ever!

When I first heard this song (on ABH) it fit what was going on in my life so well, that it instantly became my favorite Evanescence song and has stayed that way. It is a beautiful song, and the way Amy sings it invokes so much emotion.. it's just so powerful and amazing.

i this song
again it is one that is haunting, the lyrics amy's voice it really strikes and burries deep in one.
bnm has been a favourite since i first heard it on abh.
i have used the lyrics and theyheavily influenced my art work one term last year on duality.

to add my thoughts to the meaning. i believe and agree with Alpha and Lisathewitch's interpretation of the song.
to me it is one person two identities.
the one that want to break free and change and the one that is traped to conforming and following the expectations. it really is a sad song.

"Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child"

to me these lyrics kind of open up the idea of two selves.
"yet again you refuse to drink...child" to me is tring change oneself back to make one whole. to me it is drinking from the soul, revitalising one making them whole and healthy. it is just my impression of the soul used in the lyrics
