This perfectly captures the mindset of someone dealing with severe depression. Speaking from ongoing experience, there are days when you just can't face the prospect of another day of silent pain, you'd rather hide away in your own world, a construct safe in the solace of your own mind and away from everyone. But sometimes you fear you might delve too far, stay too long and loose the way back...other times. you pray for it to happen...
Raven Fae Bowie I've suffered depression before. My handicap was that I was unable to build my own perfect world away from everyone and everything so I was walking in it. Evanescence was my best friend those days
We're introverts, and our nature often leads to a path of being misunderstood and in turn leading into the depression caused by social ostracism. But you should rejoice for within is infinite and in that world of 'paper flowers' you will learn more about yourself and the universe you live in than you would by enduring the relentless current of the world's divided perspective. Learn to enjoy the company of yourself and the silence of your soul, if there's any point to this brief period of time we call life it's to escape truth and singularity. In the end we are one, but in this dream we carry the illusion of division and uncertainty; it's like a ride for your soul. Absorb it, learn as much as you can from it, but most importantly enjoy it. Solitude is bliss.
I'm writing 8+ books with different plots. My parents get so confused with me when I spend hours on the computer typing. I do it to escape. My books are my world, then I can be loved by an amazing guy or battle demons or be another creature and no one can stop me, I can sacrifice my self to save someone or be a assassin. You can be anything when you write books. The only problem is I noticed what I write sometimes happens. Weird, or maybe I'm just crazy :P
I hope they are :) I work really hard on them. I totally agree, its like a world I get to choose how things happen. I get to choose how events play out. Want to know whats funny? Vasilisa isn't even my real name :P
I agree. I wish I could escape into my world of the Leather Bullets or into some other series I've written. Its honestly not hard for me to sit down for hours and write without realizing its been nearly four hours since I've said a thing. Because in my books I talk and I do whatever I want to. :) Its like a safe haven (not so safe if you look at the plot but its fun) Its not like I have a bad life, I am seriously blessed but sometimes its nice to escape from all seven of my siblings. the world can get to chaotic to often.
Anybody who's dealt with depression can relate to this song. The people who don't relate to it have never been depressed.There's been times I've taken pills to make me sleep and did nothing but sleep for days straight, only getting up to eat and pee. I've always felt this song is about escaping reality through sleep. Which, in my opinion is the best escape from reality there is.
Depression is a relentless monster, I speak from experience when I say that there are days when I want to disappear in my own world and lose the way back. Sometimes it seems a better fate than this hell.
This song reminds me of... me. It kind of describes what I do every single day. Daydream... I'm just so oblivious to the real world sometimes. I've taught myself to purposely 'zone out' and kinda... live in my own head. It relaxes me, I'm always so stressed. It's perfect for me
I've kinda taught myself that to. To purposely zone out and well... live in my own dreamland for a while. It helps pass the time and escape reality for a while
That's the same with me! I do it every day all day. I build my own world. That's why I listen to music all the time. I kind of feel like I am losing touch with the real world though but I like it better in my world. I'll even be automatically in my own world if I am alone or someone isn't talking to me. If I am alone I am in my own world. Even at school. But not while I am suppose to be doing work.
amanda jeffery Heh. i know the feeling. Except sometimes i feel i am losing touch with my dreamland. But i'll never lose touch entirely. heh, It's one of the only few things that keeps my sanity
Sums up what my daughter has been through. Anxiety, fear, depression, hiding behind a wall of imagination beautiful but unshared and unexpressed. She went right to the brink of the abyss but she has climbed back. Now she shares her wild and magnificent imagination with the world and is proud of who she is and what she is. Such a beautiful song. I can relate totally.
"Swallowed up in the sounds of my screaming, cannot cease for the fears of the silent nights" "Oh, how i long for the deep sleep dreaming, the goddess of imaginary light" I love those parts

Everyone has a fantasy world. don't deny it. You don't have to speak of what it is or what you do in it, I...we...just know you have one. I understand why. I have my own "dreamland" I won't speak of it or what it is, because it is my mind and my mind alone, as the same goes for yours if you do not wish to speak of it. It helps me... Temporarily escape reality. I sometimes wish I could live in my dreamland for eternity. While reality is cruel and unforgiving, my fantasy is kind and loving, caring and... peaceful. Always a happy ending. But sadly I can't stay in my dreamland forever. I sometimes fear that my fantasy world is slipping away from me. As the more I grow older and/or speak of my fantasy world, it's slowly slipping away. I fear that one day, it might slip entirely away, and I will never remember it or be able to enter it and escape reality again. But I know it never will. Well... At least not entirely. Would you like to know why? Because My world of _"paper flowers"_... is one of the only few things that KEEPS my *_sanity_*
+koko DTM OMG same! They're like an embodiment of my description of a "perfect" human but at the same time they have many flaws... I'm glad I'm not alone
+TheSingingGamingArtist My imaginary world is basically, 'Everyone is happy,' because I care about other people so much. The funny thing about that is, I feel more concerned for emotionally unstable people than for those who have physical or mental disabilities. This can obviously be explained by the whole 'want everyone to be happy' thing. I sound so... goopy. Sappy. Whatever. Ick.
+Dylan Summers The first time I ever heard of Evanescence was when I was in Kindergarten and her song "Bring Me to Life", but I only chose two songs as my favorite and I couldn't choose between them. They were "Hello" and "Imaginary". I won't grow tired of it either. :D
Wow I am speechless bring me to life and imaginary and hello are my favorites to I heard Amy lee's bring me to life song when I was in kindergarten to that was the first song I heard from Amy lee first
I can so relate to this song. I had Maladtive Daydreaming. Sometimes imagination is your only escape from reality but sometimes it can be just as harmful as reality. The paper flowers are the stories i created in my head after writing them down in my notebook.
When I here this song, I always think of abuse, and the urge to escape it. You don't see a way out so you create your own world where there is no pain. A world where you are okay. Whether it be child, domestic, sexual, emotional, etc. It just hits so deep to me.
The song never reminded me of abuse until I saw your comment - I guess to want to run away there must be something driving you to want to. I think I always took it as a certain dislike of what reality is but hadn't narrowed it down so much in thought. Thanks for enlightening my thoughts!
I listen to Evenesence songs in this order: 1. Bring me to life 2. Everybody's Fool 3. Imaginary 4. My Last Breath 5. My Immortal Mix that with some Melanie Martinez songs and you've got yourself a great story line in your imagination!!! Yay!
Does anyone else imagine their own world... and wish it was real?.... ...so you can escape this harsh world?... ...and just live happily?... Edit: damn, come back 5 years later and my comment got a lot of attention. Wasn't expecting that. I might delete the comment later but it seems like a lot of people agree with it Edit 2: damn, came back 8 years later, surprised to see how many likes I got on a comment I made when I was 13 lol
I do. It's a little embarrassing to admit since it's a little secret of mine (like the many I have) But like how many people will singly *(or group. for mine, i do single)* roleplay, well I do that. What I create in my little world helps me get through the day. It's almost like another... Dimension or... World, helping me temporarily escape the harsh reality of it all. Heh, I bet I sound like I should be in the nut house. Let's just leave it at... we all have our own little imaginary worlds of "paper flowers" to escape reality... at least temporarily.
My phone, my music, my imagination helps me cope the reality that I am growing up in a tough world around me. I don’t want to grow up, yet I know it won’t last forever. Of course, my parents believe my phone is causing me to flop in school and not to make real life friends. Do you realize we live in a different world? I am silently suffering and my phone is my comfort. Meeting online friends, listening to music helps me cope with life. My laziness is the result of my depressing childhood where no one was there for me...
When I got this album when it first came out, I would listen to it over and over and over. This was my favorite song along with Tourniquet. It was my freshman year of high school and I could relate to many of the lyrics and still do to this day. One of the best albums I've ever owned, TBH. And Amy Lee is still perfection.
"In my field of paper flowers And candy clouds of lullaby I lie inside myself for hours And watch my purple sky fly over me." We're doing zentangles in art at my school, and one of my most popular motifs is music, like music notes, the lines for the sound, and I also wrote these lyrics. It's not complete, but I like it. I love this song so much.
Zentangles are a complicated pattern inside a shape, like a butterfly or people dancing. Look them up on google images, they're awesome. And yeah, Crown The Empire are amazing :D
Same here :( my world is filled with my friends who would hang out with me but in reality none of my friends hangs out with me or even stays with me when im down of loneliness
It's not even that reality is harsh to me all the time, its just that I have such a longing to enter worlds of fantasy that it overshadows the good things in life. beautiful song, rather reminiscent for me.
I know what you mean. During the last two years, I remembered having the biggest need to explore, to other states, other countries, other stories and worlds, anywhere and everywhere, if it meant I wouldn’t be stuck doing the same things everyday at home.
This song makes me feel like I could just jump into my own fantasy world. Who needs school when all they do is just give us too much homework and don't do anything to stop the bullies.
Three years ago I used to listen to this song on repeat. I still know every single lyric by heart. I forgot how much I loved Evanescence. No matter how much my friends make fun of me for it, I will never stop loving them. They and RED were the first bands I ever got obsessed with.
I have had maladaptive daydreaming since I was 6 and I never read the lyrics of songs because they often trigger really bad anxiety. So I just realised just how much I relate to this song. oo
Forever loving and respecting the hell out of this song. For making me discover my passion in life which is writing and thriving to become an author. ❤
this is so perfect. so poetic and beautiful. and the title says it all. ya know they think we're out of touch with reality. but they're all oblivious to whats within. probably my favorite song at the moment.
This song makes me think of an autumn twilight in a prairie full of long grasses swaying in the wind, a storm brewing on the horizon, and a cool chill that separates itself from humidity. Of windchimes and dreams...
I wright lots of songs with these kind if lyrics and more. I go for a poetic kind of wording with imagery and depth. it just takes practice and lots if self exploration
TheUltimate Youth14 well..my world is about living in a paradise where nothing bad has to happen like it does in reality. My world is filled with good memories and where nobody has to die anymore. Basically, its just filled with peace and warmth where it is impossible to find peace in reality.
+Selena Pierce I'd like that, in a world where people can't die and peace around the world. I love the fact when no one has to experience the pain of losing a loved one. ( I wish I had a larger and better response, same with Nightcrawler.)
If I had a theme song, this'd be it! Heh, sometimes I will lay still for hours and just meditate, remain in my inner world, because honestly, it's so much better than the real one... Love this song!
when i hear a particular song, i'm in a state of daydream, thinking of my own universe, my most preferred would have to be animalandia or the land of the element foxes, and how they would sing to the song. instead of dancing, i just sort of walk around the room, daydreaming...
This song reminds me of myself. I struggle with chronic pain, and depression, and many illnesses. My fiancee lives in the USA whilst i am in the UK, saving seems futile and time just passes away the months/years we have to wait, apart. Most days i just want to sleep my life away, because well...that way, my dreams usually hurt less than reality. And if i could sleep till my fiancee was here living with me i wouldn't be so alone. Somedays i just wish i could just sleep and not wake up. I have a sleeping disorder to boot, and sleeping is my escape from reality. And not to be to coincidental here but my favorite colour is purple...so is my bedroom.
this reminds me of my mom so much, thank you so much for making this. I miss my mom :( I'll never see her again cause she's dead, but i know she can see me watching this
A perfect song depiction of myself.When ever my friends talk I would be in dream and reply something else.Even classrooms were not different. Day dreaming like a soul mate continues journey in my life.
this song's been in playing in the back of my mind all day, but all i knew was: "...oh how i long for that deep sleep dreaming, ..." and now i know the rest. thank you! :)
You go to school, you make friends, you got a degree and a job. But what makes of you. Is really the world inside you. So keep dreaming cause that place is only meant for you to exist😊😊
as someone who’s listened to this song since before i can remember ive always been drawn to it, as a small child in a hellish family trying to escape reality through cartoons and imaginary friends, to an adult struggling with severe depression, anxiety, and a dissociative disorder, this song captures the desire to be free of reality and pain and return to something we can control that’s beautiful and safe and protects us from the harsh world that does nothing but add to our pain despite trying to make false promises of “helping” us- just let is be in our fields of paper flowers if you truly cared about us-
I first heard this song on some AMV and I thought the name was "Paper Flower" and couldn't find the song for quite a while. I'm glad I finally did, but I wish someone told me I was looking at the wrong name a little sooner! :{
Terra Somarah I think it was a Pandora Hearts one. With Break. Saw it about a year ago on FaceBook but didn't bother to check the name (HUGE MISTAKE) and yeah...
To the people scrolling through the comments as they're listening to this song. You are wanted, loved, appreciated, and irreplaceable. Have a great whatever time it is in your time zone.
makes me think of all of the things that has happened in my life. about love ones passing away. or deppressing thoughts or even suicide. her songs have helped me so much!!! thank you
Ignorant bigots? He was just sharing what he thought, if you disagree you could tell him in a friendly manner, and if you can't, just keep your thoughts to yourself.
crazy I watch alot of controversial videos and kind of expect an argument in the comments below...but even with a song? the guy simply said he liked the intro tremendously, obviously in a different choice of words but still why would you just reply with a comment about your religion and his parents....that's not an opinion...anyway...if you notice...UA-cam and the media purposely put things out here just to see how the public responds and 95% of the time it causes the public to fight with themselves...even when it came to a sad story with a random sad picture, people fought more that the picture didn't match the story rather than focus on what the story was truly trying to portrait. sad....
Towards the end it almost sounds like she's saying "graveyard flowers" instead of "paper flowers" in the background. Am I the only one who noticed that?
This song saved me. I was in a deep depression several years ago,and I'd listen to the CD over, and over, drinking at least 3 , 22oz mickeys ice . I'd sit in front of my house in my truck staring at the church steeple half block from me , it's a very big steeple with a very loud bell , just incredulous . As someone who lived without love ( long story ), since age of 13 I felt something was wrong with me , and I'm not a bad looking guy I'm just oblivious let's say . That being said I'd write poem after song after song after poem. I took depression as the easiest emotion to obtain , what a tribulation. I wanted to die . This song made me cry as almost every word was touching my heart. Actually every song . Nevertheless I found so much similarities in the words and writing and somehow it fueled me . Granted I would come home from work and repeat. Truck , mikeys ice , cry , write. I still find poems I don't remember writing , as drunk as I was to forget my writing , the words I wrote were amazing . I cried through a summer of night after night , it's how sad I was . Her voice broke me down and let me release my feelings . Still my favorite song today.
i will not say my fantasy world. for it is my mind. and my mind is my own. i feel as if the second i let it be said. it will fade.....that fantasy is what keeps me from going mad. because to me....Reality is a cruel nightmare. a never ending fear. but fantasy is a beautiful dream...... one i must live in. but the other i know i will never truly have. but want more then anything. my thoughts are my worst enemy though. because they know how to get to me better then anyone else could ever.......
I live with parents. With no hearts. I dream of a place where there are flowers and a rainbow crossing the world. Where the days are exciting and the nights are peaceful. Where the animals sing and the humans dance. Where the earth speaks to me. God is not who I believe in, but I believe in myself. My thoughts take over my mind. Where I am popular. Where the world loves me. But here I'm worthless. I feel you. Reality is a nightmare but we can't escape. I'm sorry. I just don't wanna be here. I'd rather be in the village in my dreams.
Teenage Post# You are not worthless, far from it, the fact that you are still alive means you are not worthless, I myself believe, even if i may not really know you, that you are not worthless, and you are an awesome person, and of the fantasy world, i can understand wanting that kind of thing, even though i`ve never seen what you have most likely, i understand the thoughts taking over the mind kind of thing, i spend countless hours just imagining things, impossible things, but never the less imagining them, the only thing though is i fear that one day i`ll lose that little world i`ve come to love, (call me insane if you wish) but still, don`t think of yourself as worthless, even if everyone else on earth is against you, I am more then willing to help you, again even if i may not know you, if you want you can even msg my youtube at anytime, besides i think it would be fun to talk with you :) (sorry for trailing off though...)
Dragon Chain I rarely visit my fantasy world. It's really dark, and that's nice for me. However, my life has been so busy, and I just don't get much time to daydream or visit the place.
I can understand that, mine is dark in it`s own right as well. And I've had a lot going on so rarely can visit it anymore. It`s a nice little break though every once and a while when I can.
Wow, it's been a long time since I heard this... I feel like I definitely appreciate it more now that I'm older though. Truly beautiful and full of feeling 💙
What do you all daydream about? I am always in my own world I built. I am in it 24/7. I am losing touch with the real world though but I like it. I think it's to Late for someone to get me back in touch the real world. Even while I am at school every day i am in my world. Every second I am alone and no one is talking to me, I am deep within my own world. That is why I listen to music. I like it in my world and it's to late to get me out. I am going back in my world now so bye.

I feel the same about this, I just want to be in my own fantasy world
I listen to Evenesence songs in this order:
1. Bring me to life
2. Everybody's Fool
3. Imaginary
4. My Last Breath
5. My Immortal
Mix that with some Melanie Martinez songs and you've got yourself a great story line in your imagination!!! Yay!
Nyan Kat Wow!
u just named 3 of my favorite songs
Nyan Kat missing Lithium
Nyan Kat I only listen to rock music and Evanescence
Nyan Kat all my fav songs by them lol except I love hello also
This song kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
Exactly!
Lol ua
Like a darker version
It reminds me of the modern day Alice in Wonderland
Or Near from Death Note
Does anyone else imagine their own world... and wish it was real?....
...so you can escape this harsh world?...
...and just live happily?...
Edit: damn, come back 5 years later and my comment got a lot of attention. Wasn't expecting that. I might delete the comment later but it seems like a lot of people agree with it
Edit 2: damn, came back 8 years later, surprised to see how many likes I got on a comment I made when I was 13 lol
I do. It's a little embarrassing to admit since it's a little secret of mine (like the many I have) But like how many people will singly *(or group. for mine, i do single)* roleplay, well I do that. What I create in my little world helps me get through the day. It's almost like another... Dimension or... World, helping me temporarily escape the harsh reality of it all. Heh, I bet I sound like I should be in the nut house. Let's just leave it at... we all have our own little imaginary worlds of "paper flowers" to escape reality... at least temporarily.
yes and i wish it was real escape this harsh world
Princess Cookies yeah . . . i would much rather live in my head than live here on earth.
Mysterious15736 lol, don't we all. It's almost like a door. Standing in the doorway, but never being able to go fully through it
Drake the real me well yeah who wouldn't? Living in my head would be way better than living on earth.
My phone, my music, my imagination helps me cope the reality that I am growing up in a tough world around me. I don’t want to grow up, yet I know it won’t last forever. Of course, my parents believe my phone is causing me to flop in school and not to make real life friends. Do you realize we live in a different world? I am silently suffering and my phone is my comfort. Meeting online friends, listening to music helps me cope with life. My laziness is the result of my depressing childhood where no one was there for me...
When I got this album when it first came out, I would listen to it over and over and over. This was my favorite song along with Tourniquet. It was my freshman year of high school and I could relate to many of the lyrics and still do to this day. One of the best albums I've ever owned, TBH. And Amy Lee is still perfection.
"In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me."
We're doing zentangles in art at my school, and one of my most popular motifs is music, like music notes, the lines for the sound, and I also wrote these lyrics. It's not complete, but I like it. I love this song so much.
what school do u go to?
I'm in England...
Why??
What are zentangles? and I love your profile pic. Crown The Empire FTW
Zentangles are a complicated pattern inside a shape, like a butterfly or people dancing. Look them up on google images, they're awesome. And yeah, Crown The Empire are amazing :D
because I did zetangles in my art class to but im in mass
my imagary world is full of people who are actually nice and consider me an important person. but in reality. none of these things are true.
Same here :( my world is filled with my friends who would hang out with me but in reality none of my friends hangs out with me or even stays with me when im down of loneliness
😏 gee, i wonder why..?
Jk. Idc wyd idku lol. 😅😛
Aww. That's sad. ☹️
I hope you find peoples like that in reality
Destiny Ohler someone u may not even know may find you important
@@comewithmetoheaven0737 rude
It's not even that reality is harsh to me all the time, its just that I have such a longing to enter worlds of fantasy that it overshadows the good things in life. beautiful song, rather reminiscent for me.
I know what you mean. During the last two years, I remembered having the biggest need to explore, to other states, other countries, other stories and worlds, anywhere and everywhere, if it meant I wouldn’t be stuck doing the same things everyday at home.
I really think that Evanescence should do a mashup of Haunted and Imaginary. It really fits together nicely.
this song speaks to me I wish I had my own world like that to just escape and disappear and never return to this painfull place called earth
***** your so right I hate this I wanna become an alien from mars or something
***** Yea I do lol
***** I won't
:) I know how YALL feel. Don't worry the numbness and pain disperse
I just made me a world I canescape to its rather peaceful in my head
This song makes me feel like I could just jump into my own fantasy world.
Who needs school when all they do is just give us too much homework and don't do anything to stop the bullies.
Pretty much
Britney Spears commercial started playing in my Evanescence playlist. Confused me for a second there. Lol
Music can describe a persons feelings and sometimes you cant help feel the way you feel. Happy, sad, depressed, feeling trapped and so on.
Three years ago I used to listen to this song on repeat. I still know every single lyric by heart. I forgot how much I loved Evanescence. No matter how much my friends make fun of me for it, I will never stop loving them. They and RED were the first bands I ever got obsessed with.
Never get tired of listening to this song. Evanescence is an awesome band, and Amy's voice is beyond beautiful... :)
This song reminds me of a fairytale, if that makes any sense.
perfect sense
I have had maladaptive daydreaming since I was 6 and I never read the lyrics of songs because they often trigger really bad anxiety. So I just realised just how much I relate to this song.
oo
Same bro, same
Who else is listening to this in 2020 and it's one of their favorite songs? God, I love the howling at 3:00
in 2021 it is still my favorite
This song is beautiful~ I love it
Forever loving and respecting the hell out of this song. For making me discover my passion in life which is writing and thriving to become an author. ❤
this song describes me. well almost all of Amy's songs describe me. I love you Evanescence!
this is so perfect.
so poetic and beautiful.
and the title says it all.
ya know they think we're out of touch with reality.
but they're all oblivious to whats within.
probably my favorite song at the moment.
I Googled it. The font is called Love and Passion. :D
Nice😄
How do you Google a font from a UA-cam video?
@@dietwater15 who knows
Not.
No pass go
No 200
No cigar
For me this explains the maladaptive daydreaming SO WELL. Absolutely adore Evanescence Amy’s voice is truly that of an angel ❤
This song makes me think of an autumn twilight in a prairie full of long grasses swaying in the wind, a storm brewing on the horizon, and a cool chill that separates itself from humidity. Of windchimes and dreams...
This is the best song I've ever listened to!!! I keep replaying it over and over again. Just can't help myself. It inspires me.
The lyrics was so beautiful... I wish i can learn how to do those writing ^_^
OTP Me X Pizza your pfp is sexy lol
I wright lots of songs with these kind if lyrics and more. I go for a poetic kind of wording with imagery and depth. it just takes practice and lots if self exploration
One of my most FAVORITE songs of ALL EXISTANCE!!!!🤭😏🤗🙃
This is my personal anthem for Rue in The Hunger Games. "In my field of paper flowers". Love this song.
"I lie inside myself for hours" this is so me, just so I can escape everything else and run away...
This song is an absolute vibe.
The Konan theme song. One of the many reasons why this is my all time favorite song, Evanescence and otherwise.
Completely agreed! I love the AMV made of Konan's *****. (SPOILER)
Konan💜
Her lyrics are so amazingly beautiful.
this song is so me! i always daydream to get away from this cruel and wicked reality
Glad to see I'm not the only one...
*****
What's your world about? And I want to Selena's as well if you don't mind.
TheUltimate Youth14 well..my world is about living in a paradise where nothing bad has to happen like it does in reality. My world is filled with good memories and where nobody has to die anymore. Basically, its just filled with peace and warmth where it is impossible to find peace in reality.
+Selena Pierce
I'd like that, in a world where people can't die and peace around the world. I love the fact when no one has to experience the pain of losing a loved one. ( I wish I had a larger and better response, same with Nightcrawler.)
TheUltimate Youth14 its ok😊
I used to be able to hit the notes with her. But them damn Newports are catching up to me. Good song. x3
I've been smoking eight years and can still hit most of Amy's notes. lol
I can hit all of Amy's notes with no problem XD :D
I use to be able to hit all of her notes. But choir fucked up my voice whenever I quite no I sound like an Oprah singer lol
Meiko, you shouldn't be smoking! Bad! What would the others think?
I'm an Alto. It's hard for me to hit her high notes.
If I had a theme song, this'd be it! Heh, sometimes I will lay still for hours and just meditate, remain in my inner world, because honestly, it's so much better than the real one...
Love this song!
I love this song! It's all about imagination.
This song really relates to me. My fantasy world is the best thing because right there,my friends are...
SINGERS AND WRESTLERS❤️
This song is the description of my entire life...
when i hear a particular song, i'm in a state of daydream, thinking of my own universe, my most preferred would have to be animalandia or the land of the element foxes, and how they would sing to the song. instead of dancing, i just sort of walk around the room, daydreaming...
I do the same
SAME
SAME M8
SAME
I am the same way :)
omg i really like this song!
2020 edit: Wow, I commented this? I just came back for nostalgia. XD
Mermaid Buttercup no shit
XD No shit
This song reminds me of myself. I struggle with chronic pain, and depression, and many illnesses. My fiancee lives in the USA whilst i am in the UK, saving seems futile and time just passes away the months/years we have to wait, apart. Most days i just want to sleep my life away, because well...that way, my dreams usually hurt less than reality. And if i could sleep till my fiancee was here living with me i wouldn't be so alone. Somedays i just wish i could just sleep and not wake up. I have a sleeping disorder to boot, and sleeping is my escape from reality. And not to be to coincidental here but my favorite colour is purple...so is my bedroom.
this reminds me of my mom so much, thank you so much for making this.
I miss my mom :( I'll never see her again cause she's dead, but i know she can see me watching this
Fine & Clear sound 👍🏼
I very like this song.
I always ring this song in my head.
This is my favorite song by Evanescence. In my opinion it’s Evanescence’s best song.
A perfect song depiction of myself.When ever my friends talk I would be in dream and reply something else.Even classrooms were not different. Day dreaming like a soul mate continues journey in my life.
This song still takes me to a special place when I need it 💙💚
this song's been in playing in the back of my mind all day, but all i knew was: "...oh how i long for that deep sleep dreaming, ..." and now i know the rest. thank you! :)
This song reminds me of when I was depressed... I just wanted to sleep and get away from everything. It's the only thing that really kept me sane.
You go to school, you make friends, you got a degree and a job. But what makes of you. Is really the world inside you. So keep dreaming cause that place is only meant for you to exist😊😊
I love how eary this sounds.
I love it when music creates a certain atmosphere.
as someone who’s listened to this song since before i can remember ive always been drawn to it, as a small child in a hellish family trying to escape reality through cartoons and imaginary friends, to an adult struggling with severe depression, anxiety, and a dissociative disorder, this song captures the desire to be free of reality and pain and return to something we can control that’s beautiful and safe and protects us from the harsh world that does nothing but add to our pain despite trying to make false promises of “helping” us- just let is be in our fields of paper flowers if you truly cared about us-
I first heard this song on some AMV and I thought the name was "Paper Flower" and couldn't find the song for quite a while. I'm glad I finally did, but I wish someone told me I was looking at the wrong name a little sooner! :{
xD
Best thing to do is just catch a verse and you'll find it on google :D
TazD3vilzz
True ^^
Terra Somarah I think it was a Pandora Hearts one. With Break. Saw it about a year ago on FaceBook but didn't bother to check the name (HUGE MISTAKE) and yeah...
Okuni Yin Was it Kingdom Hearts?
this song has gotten me through so much
this basically explains me everyday all I do is daydream.....,its become a habit if mine it's hard to break
I forgot about this song whoa it's actually a masterpiece
This is one of my most favorite tracks off of FALLEN...I love it...
We all need a place to escape and get away from all the drama in the world
This song is absolutely beautiful gives me goosebumps
To the people scrolling through the comments as they're listening to this song. You are wanted, loved, appreciated, and irreplaceable. Have a great whatever time it is in your time zone.
this song is beautiful in essence.i love it honestly.
i wish i could just fall asleep and stay like that forever
Alexa Castellanos same
Me too
Her song is always so sad/depressing that somehow it makes me stressed T___T
but it's still beautiful!
makes me think of all of the things that has happened in my life. about love ones passing away. or deppressing thoughts or even suicide. her songs have helped me so much!!! thank you
Words are not enough to describe it's just amazing... 💙💜💜💚
i love this song so much
That intro is the only reason I exist.
No on my religion you exist because of God and in any other case you exist cause your parents had you.
Ignorant bigots? He was just sharing what he thought, if you disagree you could tell him in a friendly manner, and if you can't, just keep your thoughts to yourself.
crazy I watch alot of controversial videos and kind of expect an argument in the comments below...but even with a song? the guy simply said he liked the intro tremendously, obviously in a different choice of words but still why would you just reply with a comment about your religion and his parents....that's not an opinion...anyway...if you notice...UA-cam and the media purposely put things out here just to see how the public responds and 95% of the time it causes the public to fight with themselves...even when it came to a sad story with a random sad picture, people fought more that the picture didn't match the story rather than focus on what the story was truly trying to portrait. sad....
Cole Chandler how did this arguement even occur?
NosoyArkano no and yes
I always listen to this song after Tourniquet, because they almost perfectly Segway into each other, allowing me to imagine a badass two part story.
Never has a song resonated so much with me. If I had a theme song, this would be it
Towards the end it almost sounds like she's saying "graveyard flowers" instead of "paper flowers" in the background. Am I the only one who noticed that?
No I noticed it too
*Is disturbed*
I think she is
+Indigo Ventura I thought it was schoolbell flowers
I heard big blue flowers...
This was always my favourite aong of theirs. Something about it..
Song *
Me too, its just... I don't know.
With this rampant chaos your reality. my favorite song from this album, no doubt.
This song saved me. I was in a deep depression several years ago,and I'd listen to the CD over, and over, drinking at least 3 , 22oz mickeys ice .
I'd sit in front of my house in my truck staring at the church steeple half block from me , it's a very big steeple with a very loud bell , just incredulous . As someone who lived without love ( long story ), since age of 13 I felt something was wrong with me , and I'm not a bad looking guy I'm just oblivious let's say .
That being said I'd write poem after song after song after poem.
I took depression as the easiest emotion to obtain , what a tribulation.
I wanted to die .
This song made me cry as almost every word was touching my heart. Actually every song .
Nevertheless I found so much similarities in the words and writing and somehow it fueled me .
Granted I would come home from work and repeat. Truck , mikeys ice , cry , write.
I still find poems I don't remember writing , as drunk as I was to forget my writing , the words I wrote were amazing .
I cried through a summer of night after night , it's how sad I was .
Her voice broke me down and let me release my feelings .
Still my favorite song today.
This song reminds me of every morning I had to wake up to go to school after over sleeping in purpose!
i will not say my fantasy world. for it is my mind. and my mind is my own. i feel as if the second i let it be said. it will fade.....that fantasy is what keeps me from going mad. because to me....Reality is a cruel nightmare. a never ending fear. but fantasy is a beautiful dream...... one i must live in. but the other i know i will never truly have. but want more then anything. my thoughts are my worst enemy though. because they know how to get to me better then anyone else could ever.......
I live with parents. With no hearts. I dream of a place where there are flowers and a rainbow crossing the world. Where the days are exciting and the nights are peaceful. Where the animals sing and the humans dance. Where the earth speaks to me. God is not who I believe in, but I believe in myself. My thoughts take over my mind. Where I am popular. Where the world loves me. But here I'm worthless. I feel you. Reality is a nightmare but we can't escape. I'm sorry. I just don't wanna be here. I'd rather be in the village in my dreams.
Teenage Post# You are not worthless, far from it, the fact that you are still alive means you are not worthless, I myself believe, even if i may not really know you, that you are not worthless, and you are an awesome person, and of the fantasy world, i can understand wanting that kind of thing, even though i`ve never seen what you have most likely, i understand the thoughts taking over the mind kind of thing, i spend countless hours just imagining things, impossible things, but never the less imagining them, the only thing though is i fear that one day i`ll lose that little world i`ve come to love, (call me insane if you wish) but still, don`t think of yourself as worthless, even if everyone else on earth is against you, I am more then willing to help you, again even if i may not know you, if you want you can even msg my youtube at anytime, besides i think it would be fun to talk with you :) (sorry for trailing off though...)
Dragon Chain
I rarely visit my fantasy world. It's really dark, and that's nice for me. However, my life has been so busy, and I just don't get much time to daydream or visit the place.
I can understand that, mine is dark in it`s own right as well. And I've had a lot going on so rarely can visit it anymore. It`s a nice little break though every once and a while when I can.
Yeh. Mine is paint splattered. Red, and white, on a black canvas. Very nice there.
Yoo this Band is iconic and hungry.. The members who played the instruments knows her talent and range and knows her power
Wow, it's been a long time since I heard this... I feel like I definitely appreciate it more now that I'm older though.
Truly beautiful and full of feeling 💙
What do you all daydream about? I am always in my own world I built. I am in it 24/7. I am losing touch with the real world though but I like it. I think it's to
Late for someone to get me back in touch the real world. Even while I am at school every day i am in my world. Every second I am alone and no one is talking to me, I am deep within my own world. That is why I listen to music. I like it in my world and it's to late to get me out. I am going back in my world now so bye.
This font is frikin' awesome
Its called love and passion. I LOVE IT TOO
That's the sweetest thing I've seen anyone say on youtube in a while. Good for you, I'm so glad people still think like this... :)
This song Represents me so well.
