Testi

Evanescence EP Version

You hold the answer deep within your own mind
Consciously you've forgotten it
That's the way the human mind works
Whenever something is too unpleasant
Too shameful for us to entertain we reject it [We wash it all away]
We erase it from our memory
But the imprint is always there [we wish it all away]
[We hope it all away]
[Can't cry it all away]

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for 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 when you feel alone, you are 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 light 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

Ooh, 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 fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
Oh! It all away
Oh! It all away

But the imprint is always there
Nothing is ever really forgotten

God, just don't hate me
Because I'll die if you do
'Cause I'll die if you do
'Cause I'll die if you do
'Cause I'll die if you do
Because I'll die if you do

Sound Asleep EP Version

You hold the answer

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame we hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for 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

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 light 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 [I'll die for you]

Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know
I cannot bear it all alone

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

I've tried so hard [I have tried super hard]
Tried to be without you for so many years
No, no, no
And I have cried [So many words I have saved for someone, for sometime]
I love you, I love you, and I want you to stay

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away

Oh! It all away
Oh! It all away, yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh.

Traduzioni

Evanescence EP Version

Trattieni la risposta nel profondo della tua mente
Consciamente l'hai dimenticata
Questo è il modo in cui lavorano le menti umane
Ogni volta che qualcosa è troppo spiacevole
Troppo turpe per noi da concepire la respingiamo[la trasciniamo via]
La cancelliamo dalla nostra memoria
Ma l'impronta è sempre lì[desideriamo che se ne vada]
[speriamo che se ne vada]
[Non possiamo piangerla]

Il dolore che ti afferra
La paura che ti acceca
Libera la vita in me
Nella nostra reciproca vergogna nascondiamo i nostri occhi
Per accecarli dalla verità
Che trova una scappatoia a ciò che siamo

Per favore non aver paura
Quando l'oscurità sparirà
L'alba spezzerà il silenzio
Urlando nei nostri cuori

Il mio amore per te cresce ancora
Lo faccio per te
Prima di provare a combattere la verità
Per la mia ultima volta

Siamo tenuti a provare e a essere reali
E quando ti senti solo, non sei in compagnia
E ciò è reale

Non possiamo trascinarla via
Non possiamo desiderare che se ne vada
Non possiamo piangerla
Non possiamo cancellarla

Stando accanto a te
Ascoltandoti respirare
La luce che scorre dentro te
Brucia dentro me

Mi trattieni e mi parli
D'amore senza un suono
Dimmi che vivrai attraverso ciò
E morirò per te

Non gettarmi via
Di che starai con me
Perchè so che non posso
Sopportarlo tutta sola

Non sei solo tesoro
Mai Mai

Non possiamo combatterla
Non possiamo sperare che se ne vada
Non possiamo urlarla
Non si dissolverà mai no

Non possiamo trascinarla via
Non possiamo desiderare che se ne vada
Non possiamo piangerla
Non possiamo cancellarla

Non possiamo combatterla
Non possiamo sperare che se ne vada
Non possiamo urlarla
Oh! Lontana
Oh! Lontana

Ma l'impronta è sempre lì
Nulla è mai realmente dimenticato

Dio,non odiarmi
Perchè morirò se lo farai
Perchè morirò se lo farai
Perchè morirò se lo farai
Perchè morirò se lo farai
Perchè morirò se lo farai
