Informazioni generali

Scritta da: A. Lee e B. Moody

Questa canzone è stata presente per l’intera durata della storia di registrazione degli Evanescence (escludendo l’ultimo periodo riguardante l'album The Open Door). Inizialmente pubblicata nell’originario EP degli Evanescence del 1998, Imaginary si è evoluta attraverso sette differenti versioni. La canzone venne scritta da Amy Lee e sono chiari i riferimenti alla sua vecchia camera. La canzone è stata interpretata come la scoperta di un posto idilliaco che permette di scappare dai problemi personali e dal modo esterno.

Si è speculato sul fatto che Imaginary dovesse essere il quarto singolo dell’album Fallen. Tuttavia venne pubblicata Everybody's Fool. Imaginary è stata pubblicata come singolo radio promozionale soltanto in Spagna nel 2004. La canzone debuttò e arrivò alla #17esima posizione in classifica. Il video fu estratto dal Live in Cologne (Vedi Live in Cologne). L’Intro della canzone è connesso all’Outro di Tourniquet.

Testi

Fallen Version and Mystary Edit

Aaah... Paper flowers
Aaah... Paper flowers

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they’re falling tell a story

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby [paper flowers]
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me [paper flowers]

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos, your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby [paper flowers]
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me [paper flowers]

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby [paper flowers]
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me [paper flowers]

Aaah... Paper flowers
Aaah... Paper flowers

Origin Version

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby [paper flowers]
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me [paper flowers]

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while [paper flowers]
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again [paper flowers]

In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby [paper flowers]
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me [paper flowers]

EP Version

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

In my field of paper flowers
And candy cloulds of lullabies [flowers]
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me [flowers]

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clocks screaming monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

If you need to leave the world you live in
Lay your head down and stay a while [flowers]
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again [flowers]

You can lead the world you live in 'cause inside
You may not remember

Something waits for you to breathe again

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
