General Information

The 11th track on Evanescence's self-titled album, Evanescence (album), previously titled "Orange". Amy revealed that the official title of the song is "Never Go Back".

In an interview with MTV, Amy said:

It wasn't about my life so much... when we first got into preproduction... the earthquakes and the tsunami happened in Japan and we were all totally glued to paying attention to it and these incredibly heart breaking images and everything... it was consuming my mind and we were working on that song at the same time... and I came in the next day and I was like "guys! I'm totally gonna make this song about the tsunami, like I have a great idea"... and i'm feeling like this human connection with it, obviously I haven't experienced it, but I don't know, it was cool to write about something a little bit outside myself and yeah that isn't what I usually do, and I love that song.

Lyrics

Everything is so dark
And I know there’s something wrong,
But I can’t turn the light on.
In that split second change
When you knew we couldn’t hold on
I realized I live to love you.

Save yourself, don’t look back,
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone.
The only world I’ve ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
But I remember.

I won’t give up on you,
I can feel you in my heart
Just shouting away I don’t belong here alone.
I can still see your face
Where it’s burned into my mind,
I die every time I close my eyes
You’re always there.

Save yourself, don’t look back,
Tearing us apart until it’s all gone.
The only world I’ve ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves
But I’m the one who’s drowning,
Without your love I am lost
And I can never go back home.

All across the ocean
We are calling, calling
Are, are, are you there?
Nothing left for me til I find you

Because it’s all gone.
The only one world ever known
Sleeps beneath the waves,
But I’m the one who’s drowning,
Without your love I am lost
And I can never go back, ah
I can never go back home.
