General information

Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody^[1]

Exodus is the fourth track from Evanescence's first EP, Evanescence EP (1998).

The live performance from May 7th, 1999 features lyrics from Missing at the end, and the song features a guitar in the beginning.

Amy talked about the song on EvThreads, saying:

...Its just hard because you're your own worst critic and I hear myself say "my black backpack stuffed with broken dreams" and want to shoot myself. I seriously can't listen to the verses to that song without squinting. But I don't deny that there was a magic in those early songs. Each one was so exciting to us, we were just learning that we had the ability to make our favorite music.^[2]

Lyrics

Studio version

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months passed by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost, I'm just alone
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

In the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay here
Oh! Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes

Live version

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months passed by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost, I'm just alone
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

Here in the shadows
I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes

You can't stop the fire
Can you stand to fight her?
You can't stop the fire
You won't say the words

Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You can't stop the fire
You won't say the words
