I felt connected to this song from the very first time I listened to it. I think of it as an eye-opener song, a reality check. It's a wake-up call from all those lies and fantasies we believed as children, when the world used to be so much simpler.

For me, it's much more than just a song, it's a reflection of a part of my life.
I used to believe in many things that I don't really believe in now. Sometimes, it would be so much easier to keep on believing in them but it would just be a lie, a beautiful lie.

Would you rather live a beautiful lie or an awful truth? Sometimes it's not as easy as one thinks.

IAW Mythfairy. I really love this song a lot, even more so recently than ever before. It just keeps getting better IMO! The more I listen to it, the more I can get out of it, at least for me.

Field of Innocence probally one of the best Evanescence ballads right next to Hello and My Immortal I like the Acustic guitar in it and the choir makes the song spooky

I totally agree with both of you. In fact, just from talking about this song I get urges to listen to it again. It's really one of their deepest songs (along with other old ones; like Give Unto Me) and I'm greatful to have found it. I just listen to it and go into a sort of melancholic trance; beautiful but really depressing at the same time.

Isn't it amazing what this song says? When we're children, we don't know about the insane and cruel world out there, we're only aware that we're happy and safe in our "Field Of Innocence'. But as we grow older, we lose our innocence to that world out there. What we once trusted we learn is a lie and that we can only REMEMBER the world from the eyes of children. Suddenly, we know that we cannot gain that innocence back. I love the music and I love the lyrics, they tell the truth about every human here on this earth; We all were in the field of innocence and then lost it.

I still remember the world from the eyes of a child...

I have a music video idea for this song, in my head. lol.

Can't really imagine anyone who wouldn't be able to relate to this song, and i completely agree with Mythfairy, it's really hard to grapple between living a lie and facing up to the truth.

This song also seems to be an acknowlegement of never being able to go back, to regain what you've lost, because this world inevitably grinds you down and makes cynics out of everyone, although you desperately want to believe again, some things are painfully irreversible.

The first time I heard this song and I head the line "Oh I want to go back to believing in everything and knowing nothing at all" tears sprung to my eyes! I completely understand what she's talking about in this song. I wish I had the faith that I had back when I was a child. I can remember being so innocent, believing there was a world of possibilities before me. As I got older those possibilities became things that were only called fantasy by my father. I had a lot of dreams and ambitions that came crashing down after I left childhood just because I realize the reality of them and couldn't believe anymore.
