"You hold the answers deep within your own mind, consciously you've forgotten it that's the way the human mind works, whenever something is to unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain we regect we erase it from our memory but the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten".
It's a song full of meaning ... the suffering, the tears, the pain had taken possession of the soul. I think that suffering is not everyone has experienced, and not everyone is able to understand it. Anyone can understand this song own way and this song will be something - that indispensable in everyone's life ... but this clip helps to think about the meaning of "Understanding".
The way she sings 5:45-5:51 with head phones turned up full blast always gives me chills.....Amy bled her heart in this song and I thank her for that 😊
the girl in the video must've went through hard time in her life, you can tell through the video, i wish her well and i hope she's in a better place now. also Evanescence's music changed my life, i grew up listening to them, every song they released i can relate to and helped me through different situations, Amy's sings like an angel you can feel the pain through her voice.....their music will be with me till the day i die
Postmodern poetry, with lyrics that make us reflect deeply ... and a voice that leads us on a journey between the chords of an angelic voice by Amy Lee ... only the special ones to understand that !!!! 🖤
I had this on repeat for months durning my darkest times, and now hearing it again fills me with a peaceful warmth I’d never have dreamt I’d feel back then ❤️
I remember this video from YEARS ago, and always loved it. Though it hurts even deeper, now, due to the person in the video bears a striking resemblance to the best friend I ever HAD....They slowly ghosted me, over a period of around 5 years, until I finally made the decision to respectfully end it, while thanking them for the best years of my life.
This is actually the first song by Evanescence I listened to and I was paying more attention to the video than the music. I've always known who the artist was but just never listened to her songs. Whoever captured these angles and kept the pace of camera work is simply amazing. I can honestly say it is the best music video I have ever viewed, and I never listen to Evanescence.. This was done by a professional, whether people realize it or not. This was done by a true film maker because He/She caught the most compelling screen shots. I am now officially an Evanescence fan too. I replayed the song right after the first, and then I felt how beautiful it was. Not much music out there that is true talent like this. Like one other person said in a comment. If you don't like the video, just listen to the song. The only conclusion I can come to why people would insult the female and video. Envy. Its a great song and freakin amazing custom fan made. Well done.
The pain that grips you The fear that blinds you Releases life in me In our mutual Shame we hide our eyes To blind them from the truth That finds a way from who we are Please don't be afraid When the darkness fades away The dawn will break the silence Screaming in our hearts My love for you still grows This I do for you Before I try to fight the truth my final time "We're supposed to try and be real And I feel alone, and we're not together And that is real." Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away Lying beside you Listening to you breathe The life that flows inside of you Burns inside of me Hold and speak to me Of love without a sound Tell me you will live through this And I will die for you Cast me not away Say you'll be with me For I know I cannot Bear it all alone "You're not alone, honey Never... Never." Can't fight it all away Can't hope it all away Can't scream it all away It just won't fade away, no Can't wash it all away Can't wish it all away Can't cry it all away Can't scratch it all away Can't scream it all away Ooh, it all away Ooh, it all away "But the imprint is always there Nothing is ever really forgotten." "God, please don't hate me Because I'll die if you do Because I'll die if you do Because I'll die if you do Because I'll die if you do."
This is the song I listen to every time something horrible happens. I plug in my sound-canceling headphones and turn this song up. Amy's lyrics speak to my heart, and they've changed my life. If I didn't have this song...or this band...or this singer...my life would be meaningless. I can't wait for the new album. I know I will be pleased.
The words that the male voice says at the beginning of the song are taken from the movie "Terror in the Haunted House (1958)" - they are said by the doctor at 3:00 - 4:00 minute of the film. Слова которые говорит мужской голос в начале песни взяты из фильма "Terror in the Haunted House (1958)" - их говорит доктор на 3:00 - 4:00 минуте фильма.
i really really love this song. it reminds me of my "former" bestfriend. something happened between us that made me feels alone. i felt like ive been betrayed. i dont know where to run, where to go, or where to lean on. and after i listen to this song, i really wanted to cry cause my past keeps on hunting me. thats when i realized, im not alone after all. i only felt that way because i CHOOSE TO BE ALONE .
Parabéns ao produtor desse video... lindo mesmo...e a garota entrou no clima da musica... que é espetacular e a simplicidade fez o resto! PARABÉNS, GAROTA! Produtor de video nota mil!!! Captou todo o maravilhoso cenário praiano! Uma coisa linda e única! Eu não canso de assistir! beijo pra vcsss
Amy has always helped me get through sad times in life with her beautiful songs and I love her for that. I can't believe this is the first time I'm hearing this song though, I have been a big fan of hers for many years. I actually cried a little, she has a way of pouring her heart in soul into these master pieces. I am hurting so much right now, this is just what I needed.
I have been in such a dark place For at least the last 7 years That's pretty much the only song I listen to it helps me make it through every day I wish i could meet Amy Lee and give her a huge hug and tell her how much this song means to me thank you so much for writing this song
My God, what perfection! Amy Lee, for all you do is perfect? You're so beautiful, and her songs ... I'm speechless, I do not know how many accolades are enough to tell you all! I love you and always will unreasonably!
The loneliless is palpable throughout the video. Really strong message together with the lyrics. My heart goes out to everybody who has lost a loved one, hoped against hope until the bitter end. Where all that remains is memories of what once has been.
i've always loved this song and i still do. thank you for creating an amazing video to go with it, this is truly a work of art. this beautiful girl in the video truly captures the atmosphere of the song, and the setting is gorgeous. "understanding" is my favorite song by evanescence because to this day it still raises every hair on my body and produces tears flowing down my eyes. thanks
Evanescence is a very talented band T_T. Whenever I was sad, angry, or paranoid.. listening to them either brought me down to tears of joy or a sane mind. They truly are a help... They're songs are powerful in their own way :).
It's a song to dedicate it to a person that have reached the ultimate level of being close to you... And you love him/her with all the strength of your heart and soul..
Tú guardas las respuestas muy dentro de tu propia mente. Conscientemente las has olvidado. Esa es la manera en que la mente humana trabaja. Cada vez que algo es demasiado desagradable, demasiado vergonzoso para que nosotros nos entretengamos lo rechazamos, lo borramos de nuestra memoria, pero la impresión está siempre allí.
I've been listening to this song over and over it means alot been keeping me strong Amy Lee's voice is so delicate I love her so much shes such a strong person and she keeps all off her fans strong too ❤❤
I just had to make a youtube account and comment on this video, i noticed that girl was brave enough to express her feelings with this song, i dont know where she is and what she is doing but i know regardless on her looks she fits a perfect actress, and those who just HAD to comment on her looks just don't deserve to be alive, they're just a waste of air, Evanescence is a band who opened our at least my eyes to the truth and this was actually my frist time listening to this song and i LOVED IT.
You're very rude you know. Sometimes you have to be more understanding and respectful of other peoples beliefs. We spend a lot of time telling others to accept and treat others nicely and that it's okay to be different; but no. You cannot handle one comment that didn't agree with you. You can't handle someone different. Sweetie, there is going to be a lot of different people out there, and the world can't be a little baby and whine about it. Because the world is for adults too, and it's hard. Just be more tolerant please, and thankyou.
How about understanding that without the Earths atmosphere (which actually is shrinking) all of our lovely air would just get sucked up into space. Understanding the balance within, on and around our planet is life. Without Earth, there could be no Life. EARTH IS LIFE, EARTH IS LOVE.
Nathan Kitteh :-) yes,its a part of the life. But the source of the life in Jesus and everything is trough Him,without Him there is nothing good,there is no life.
Yes.... later on you will realise that lots of people had been feeling the same way as you did.. At least that was what happened to me. Opening up is not weakness but make sure who you are opening up to...
CountryButterfly, please, I am an older person and have had loads of tragedy my life, the latest only a little over two years ago. THAT one almost killed me and when it didn't, I contemplated suicide for the first time, but things got better, a lot better than, of course, another BIG let down just recently. It's life. You just need to find some help in whatever form that is, except in substance abuse, that just makes it worse, then you still have the original pain, plus an additional problem. Please get help, sweetie, there is so much beauty in the world if you know how and where to look. But you have to be open to it and when you are in such pain, it is hard to. I recommend counseling, there is even sliding scale if you do not have much money. Also something called a DBT class, it's great. Maybe a diet change, There are lot's of options, you are not alone. And listening to great music is oh so good, but maybe more upbeat stuff for now?
I wish people could understand how awesome and well written this song is, Evanescence is just my favourite thing ever.
Agreed, can't stop replaying their whole collection over and over, amy lee is...amazing
Ahhhh love this too I agree one of the best songs n I love evanescence
Same here.
I know but right I'm 54 years old and just love the shit out of Amy lee
Yes and she was only 16
evanescence always helps when you go trough dark times of depressions and self-hate
😢 💔
😢
this song is powerful
yes it is
Kitty Ponce libert
actually..pushes the soul out from within.
No.. The POWER is coming from this song
this sounds like heaven
this is one the best song ever made by evanescence. I LOVE this song :)
what she says in this song embraces humanity
"You hold the answers deep within your own mind, consciously you've forgotten it that's the way the human mind works, whenever something is to unpleasant, to shameful for us to entertain we regect we erase it from our memory but the imprint is always there, nothing is ever really forgotten".
Sorry
Absolutely, spot on.
Over 14 years later and this is still true.
It's a song full of meaning ... the suffering, the tears, the pain had taken possession of the soul. I think that suffering is not everyone has experienced, and not everyone is able to understand it. Anyone can understand this song own way and this song will be something - that indispensable in everyone's life ... but this clip helps to think about the meaning of "Understanding".
their gothic days. Now it just seems more mainstream rock. This is the best song ever by them.
And who ever shot the video, did a great job.
I have never agreed so much with someone in my life
The way she sings 5:45-5:51 with head phones turned up full blast always gives me chills.....Amy bled her heart in this song and I thank her for that 😊
the girl in the video must've went through hard time in her life, you can tell through the video, i wish her well and i hope she's in a better place now.
also Evanescence's music changed my life, i grew up listening to them, every song they released i can relate to and helped me through different situations, Amy's sings like an angel you can feel the pain through her voice.....their music will be with me till the day i die
Postmodern poetry, with lyrics that make us reflect deeply ... and a voice that leads us on a journey between the chords of an angelic voice by Amy Lee ... only the special ones to understand that !!!! 🖤
Wow. Most of Evanescence's songs are so emotional. Which I like a lot.
+Caliya Ledesma Nice song!! I also sing :)
Alberto Gaziano Cool!
I had this on repeat for months durning my darkest times, and now hearing it again fills me with a peaceful warmth I’d never have dreamt I’d feel back then ❤️
This hits my heart deeply ,I feel the pain from experience.
I discovered this song in late 2015, it's been my favorite song since.
I'm starting to give up. I find myself caring less and less. Why should I care when no one else does?
Amy's music really connects.
I remember this video from YEARS ago, and always loved it. Though it hurts even deeper, now, due to the person in the video bears a striking resemblance to the best friend I ever HAD....They slowly ghosted me, over a period of around 5 years, until I finally made the decision to respectfully end it, while thanking them for the best years of my life.
I love this song. Makes me cry everytime
Es una explosion de emociones. Evanescence me hace swntir tanto
one of the powerful songs that takes me back
This comment section is godlike.. no trolls no nothing
Fuck off this song is shit *heres one
"We're supposed to try and be real.
And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."
Oh,how I love that thing in the end
"Because I'm dying too"
One of only a few songs which are sad but not such a "uhuuuu world is so bad to me"-thing.
this song is one of my favorites...to be unseen to someone or unheard is is grieving to the heart....but to be forgotten is unhealing.....
Best Songwriter ever
I've been listening them several years ago. great band, and Amy's vocal is warm and beautiful
Since 2011 l' m listening this song and never got tired of it. Always will be my fav
I always feel so misunderstanding and yeah idk I just love this song a lot. Amy's voice is so amazing!
This is actually the first song by Evanescence I listened to and I was paying more attention to the video than the music. I've always known who the artist was but just never listened to her songs.

Fak
The pain that grips you
The fear that blinds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual
Shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth
That finds a way from who we are
Please don't be afraid
When the darkness fades away
The dawn will break the silence
Screaming in our hearts
My love for you still grows
This I do for you
Before I try to fight the truth my final time
"We're supposed to try and be real
And I feel alone, and we're not together
And that is real."
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The life that flows inside of you
Burns inside of me
Hold and speak to me
Of love without a sound
Tell me you will live through this
And I will die for you
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know I cannot
Bear it all alone
"You're not alone, honey
Never... Never."
Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away, no
Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away
Can't scream it all away
Ooh, it all away
Ooh, it all away
"But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten."
"God, please don't hate me
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do."
All of these songs are amazing! Enjoy ......
Damn, this song gives me goosebumps
Exactly!!!
I support)
Been my favourite song and most meaningful song since 2008 ♥️ lyrics can’t get deeper
Evanescence in en güzel şarkıları arasında ilk 5ime girer.
Bring me to life Evanescence cileri bilmez bu şarkıyı
I love this Song!!!!!! I love Evanescence
One of the greatest voice over intro to a song ever!
It just won't fade away, No
This is the song I listen to every time something horrible happens. I plug in my sound-canceling headphones and turn this song up. Amy's lyrics speak to my heart, and they've changed my life. If I didn't have this song...or this band...or this singer...my life would be meaningless. I can't wait for the new album. I know I will be pleased.
I just love this song so much.
Always makes me cry while iI'm hearing this.., but when it's over, I feel better...everytime.
The words that the male voice says at the beginning of the song are taken from the movie "Terror in the Haunted House (1958)" - they are said by the doctor at 3:00 - 4:00 minute of the film.

Amy has always helped me get through sad times in life with her beautiful songs and I love her for that.

Every time I hear this song I travel ........
If i had to travel everytime i hear some of my favorite songs from Evanescence, then i would need to travel all the time .... :D
This song is amazing. It makes me feel so many different things,I can't stop listening to it.
i've always loved this song and i still do. thank you for creating an amazing video to go with it, this is truly a work of art. this beautiful girl in the video truly captures the atmosphere of the song, and the setting is gorgeous.

Mahiro F sim, é perfeita!
WTH!! I've listened to Evanescence for years and this is the first time i heard this song! Great song by the way!

This is my favorite version of this song. its so dark yet so beautiful

uploaded on my birthday :D
I've been listening to this song over and over it means alot been keeping me strong Amy Lee's voice is so delicate I love her so much shes such a strong person and she keeps all off her fans strong too ❤❤
who the hell dares to dislike this song ??? deam !!!!
Jastin Biber Fans :)
this song? BEAUTIFUL. I especially like the words the man says in the beginning. So true. The imprint is ALWAYS there.
more sadness, another one is gone out my life.
Shannon Guerrero what?
I just had to make a youtube account and comment on this video, i noticed that girl was brave enough to express her feelings with this song, i dont know where she is and what she is doing but i know regardless on her looks she fits a perfect actress, and those who just HAD to comment on her looks just don't deserve to be alive, they're just a waste of air, Evanescence is a band who opened our at least my eyes to the truth and this was actually my frist time listening to this song and i LOVED IT.
"Because I'll die if you do..."
The person who filmed this video and the girl in this video seriously deserve the 2kk views! Good job
The only problem is ... I can't turn my sound up any louder ...
this may be my favorite song. it's so tearful, and pretty
My eyes fails me while listening to this
This is one of my favorite songs of theirs.. it is also a wonderful video.
I love this song just wish I knew the meaning
This was always the song that I'd wished made it to the Studio Album. It hit me to my core.
High school in a nutshell.
+Dex The Butler truth
u right
+Dex The Butler Damn son what happened to you in High School XD
yes it is
YES
i love this song. it has somethin strange about it but honestly its beautiful.
I'm glad she didn't jump :)
no matter how many newe bands come in to my life, Evanescence is i always come back too
Understanding that without Christ,there is no life.
In fact, very quickly I can prove you that your comment is full of shit but i don't want to spam this beautiful song. :)))
Tctc, sladur :-) blagosloven bydi.
You're very rude you know. Sometimes you have to be more understanding and respectful of other peoples beliefs. We spend a lot of time telling others to accept and treat others nicely and that it's okay to be different; but no. You cannot handle one comment that didn't agree with you. You can't handle someone different. Sweetie, there is going to be a lot of different people out there, and the world can't be a little baby and whine about it. Because the world is for adults too, and it's hard. Just be more tolerant please, and thankyou.
How about understanding that without the Earths atmosphere (which actually is shrinking) all of our lovely air would just get sucked up into space.
Understanding the balance within, on and around our planet is life. Without Earth, there could be no Life. EARTH IS LIFE, EARTH IS LOVE.
Nathan Kitteh :-) yes,its a part of the life. But the source of the life in Jesus and everything is trough Him,without Him there is nothing good,there is no life.
Es una cancion preciosa.
SADNESS
Great Video and Portugal looks like a beautiful country. Blessings from U.S.A.
No one understands me at all i wish that one person could so i wouldn't feel soo bad........
Don't worry, everything will be fine :-)
Yes.... later on you will realise that lots of people had been feeling the same way as you did..
At least that was what happened to me. Opening up is not weakness but make sure who you are opening up to...
Learn to understand yourself. :)))
OMG..this is soo beautiful..!! neva heard of this song..!!
Hey
CountryButterfly, please, I am an older person and have had loads of tragedy my life, the latest only a little over two years ago. THAT one almost killed me and when it didn't, I contemplated suicide for the first time, but things got better, a lot better than, of course, another BIG let down just recently. It's life. You just need to find some help in whatever form that is, except in substance abuse, that just makes it worse, then you still have the original pain, plus an additional problem. Please get help, sweetie, there is so much beauty in the world if you know how and where to look. But you have to be open to it and when you are in such pain, it is hard to. I recommend counseling, there is even sliding scale if you do not have much money. Also something called a DBT class, it's great. Maybe a diet change, There are lot's of options, you are not alone. And listening to great music is oh so good, but maybe more upbeat stuff for now?
Its just amazing
466 people are deaf -_-
I like the song not the video.
"misunderstanding"
Jürgen Welss THANK YOU
Miss Ch 478 are deaf - Love this song
Michael Davis they are deaf & stupid !! This song is AMAZING ^^
So sad and so beautiful and incredibly emotional, after all those times listening to this I still have to fight tears welling up.
