Bring Me to Life Lyrics
[Verse 1: Amy Lee]
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb
Without a soul, my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Wake me up, wake me up inside
I can't wake up, wake me up inside
Save me, call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up, bid my blood to run
I can't wake up, before I come undone
Save me, save me from the nothing I've become

[Verse 2: Amy Lee]
Now that I know what I'm without, you can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real, bring me to life

[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Wake me up, wake me up inside
I can't wake up, wake me up inside
Save me, call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up, bid my blood to run
I can't wake up, before I come undone
Save me, save me from the nothing I've become

[Bridge: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Bring me to life, I've been livin' a lie, there's nothing inside
Bring me to life
Frozen inside, without your touch, without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead

[Verse 3: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here
There must be something more
Bring me to life

[Chorus: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Wake me up, wake me up inside
I can't wake up, wake me up inside
Save me, call my name and save me from the dark
Wake me up, bid my blood to run
I can't wake up, before I come undone
Save me, save me from the nothing I've become

[Outro: Amy Lee & Paul McCoy]
Bring me to life, I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
Bring me to life

Many say this is a depressed song, but if you actually really focus on the lines, is more about a person who finds a way to exit depression, through another person who's there for them.
It's actually positive and very wholesome.

[Doriburu]

Nice to see that some people haven't forgotten this song.

[alejandroruales]

Este nivel de ESCENCIA supera los límites!!!

[KarlBremer-rd]

One of the best songs recorded in the last 25 years by a totally Awesome Group...too freaking cool..

[DavidRebetzke]

Just saw them in concert in Sydney. Truly amazing. What sound & what a voice 20 years on.

[SuSuSandiNaing]

Every time I am in depression! I come here to listen it ❤ it’s my healing song to struggle another day ❤

[iloveplasticbottles]

Fun fact: this song is about Amy's husband Josh, who effectively recognized she wasnt happy with her abusive ex (iirc). The rap part was added bc Daredevil movie.

[PotatoVoid]

All those AMV’s are rushing back in my head

[sabarish_babu]

Amazing combination of vocal and instruments.. ✨👌 just INSANE

[elizabethdavila]

I lost my 18 year old to clinical depression in 2020. This song hits the heart. Thankfully I believe in the ressurection that Jehovah God has made possible through his beloved son Jesus Christ. I'll keep serving my God and hold my beloved son again soon.

[MoFo]

A billion people here that Amy speaks so eloquently for. Not likely to be forgotten.

[HigherrVoltage]

I have vivid memories of being like 3 years old and vibing to this like there was no tomorrow. I’m 17 and still do it.

[usibistro]

I've heard the song somewhere as a child. It's super nostalgic.

[marelynhaines]

This song is 20 years old and it’s so freeing just like it was the first time I heard it

[manswasherexd]

[migiplayz]

One of the best "release your anger" songs yet written. Great stress relief
