I think this woman literally saved my life. I mean her music brought me out of rough patches and really dark places. this song brings back immense memories. I will always love Amy but this Era of music was her absolute best.
I believe this song literally save my life the first time I heard it I was about to kill myself. I came back to it years later to draw the stength I need to face a difficult trial in my life with courage and with god the only thing I truly have at the end of the day is Him.
Sophia Belanger and God is all you need ❤️ He is more than enough and loves you so much that it’s incomprehensible. Praying that you always seek Him and look to Him whatever is going on in your life and never give up
Amy Lee was basically my Teenagehood, & I wish they would revisit their 'Origin' sounds for one session, they are very calming & easy listing. I am also pleased to say my daughter (who I name after Amy Lee herself) is now a big Amy Lee fan as well!
22 years ago I heard this for the first time. Still gives me chills now. Got me through some of the toughest times of my life, I listen now and again to remind myself how far I’ve come.
Same. (25 now) This is the first song I ever learned on the guitar. It's still my go-to song to play when I'm in a rough mood and I need to get it out.
For me this song is about a broken and traumatized person who's been hurt and abandoned so many times that they're afraid to love or give themselves to their lover... but after a while they're tired of fighting them and their love and finally want to just give in and accept it and let their lover give them the love they so desperately crave. They have such a low self esteem that they see their lover as the only thing good about themself.
+Rokatsu Ryuzaki In my case i think about it as someone who is in love with other who doesn't know or doesn't love her. So despite the efforts she can't "walk away from him" beacose she loves him so much.
+Dora Delic i feel more this song is about God (i fall into your abounding grace) and considering Amy Lee is Christian is highly possible that i'm right
In reality, I don't want to be one of those people that are like "Music saved my life".... but in actuality, Evanescence did in fact stop me from my suicidal thoughts and depressive moods. Amy Lee quite literally DID save my life. Not only that, I love her voice and the entire band. They are such an inspiration to many people, and hopefully will be for many future years to come.
Love this song since 2004, when im still single.. Now im 35 years old father, with two beautiful kids and sweet wife.. Both of my kids born in October.. This song really means a lot to me.. 25/10/2017 5:11 a.m.
I just now realized that this song comes from the broken heart of a person pleading for God to forgive them and take them home. God is our only strength and he is all we need. ✝️✝️✝️
I listened to this song when I was at school. I'm 31 now n just stumbled across it. I've come to realise I need these guys songs now more than ever. I feel every one of their lyrics and her voice gives me goosebumps ❤ it's nice just to zone out and feel some peace
I've always thought of this song to be about someone who've denied love in their life, never letting anyone close. Then someone finally breaks through the wall they've built around him-/herself and they just release all the emotions they've been building up inside them, all at once. Realising that they can't lie to themselves anymore and just go with it all. Personally I think that sounds better than all this god crap everyone else is writing about... but hey! that's just me, everyone can interpret a song differently.
If you might indulge me without Hate... I think This is about our Abba Father.... But what if Ive fallen too far for His Abounding Grace... And Many other Scriptural References Both Canonized, and Apocryphal... It is Absolutely how to Approach The Father...
ellocoexcalibur You can fall into the grace of a person. Especially if you fall in love, "I fall into your abounding grace" I interpret like: you've never ever let anyone close. But then someone comes along and gets through to you, you feel so left out and don't know how to handle it. All you can do is to fall into that persons grace.
Honestly its all about what the listener gets out of it. For those of us who are Christians especially young Christians we can relate the lyrics to our own struggles with our faith trying to run from it and push God away but then something dramatic happened to change that and brought us into a closer love of God and our faith. For someone else the lyrics can mean something totally different. When I listen to this song I picture myself setting in one of the pews after just receiving the Sacrament of Confession with tears in my eyes gazing up at the crucifix above the altar and pouring my heart out to God and telling him how sorry I am and how much he means to me and telling Him i'm going to try and do better because he is my only hope, my only peace, my only joy, my only strength my only love. And I personally feel his fatherly love and forgiveness
+allison mena Well, only Amy Lee knows the true meaning of the song. Us listeners just perceive the meaning of the song about God, love, a heartbreak, or other things. Jut thought I'd say that. But I agree, I find it to be a very pretty song about God, too.
I am Goth and I don't know why you put " " in front of the word. Evanescence is a RomantiGoth rock band that's the genre of music they play Just like the Cockatoo Twins and Rasputina. Being Goth doesn't make it non-Christian on the contrary a good majority of Goth music has songs about God
Carl Williams I completely agree. Being Goth doesn't automatically decide your religious perspectives. Anyone can be a Christian, just as anyone can be Jewish, Muslim, or Atheist.
Carl Williams To be honest, it probably would. It's pathetic that so many people stereotype things like this. They automatically assume odd or bad things are associated with Goths, Emos, scene kids, and many other genres and such like that. Not many of them even think logically when it comes down to their thoughts on this. Two of my closest friends are Goths. Both are very religious Christians, but everyone says bad things about them behind their backs, saying that they're probably satan worshipers. The lengths people will go to to prove a false point is honestly disappointing.
For me personally, this song really desribes my relationship with God. There are times when i want other things more than i want Him. But in the end He always pulls me back to Him and makes me realize that He's all i truly have.
I wish I could think like you, honestly... I get caught up in my own problems way too much, and I forget the big picture so easily... I just hope God will forgive me... :3
Hi, i'm sorry i almost never check my youtube notifications.. It's ok, everybody's like that sometimes :) And, as far as forgiveness is concerned, Jesus had paid for the debts of our sins when He died on the cross :)
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction.
Thank you Amy ❤️ for bringing me close to God,I don't know how should I thank you,may The Lord Jesus Bless u...thank u a billion times for this song u r an angel...n everyone who would be reading this msg should thank Amy and our savior Jesus Christ 🙏 there's still time so repent and pray... and know Jesus Christ is coming... praise be unto the Lord and Heavenly Father..Amen
I feel like this is what my heart was trying to speak out loud when I was battling through depression starting elementary. I’m in college now still battling it and this song heals me from pain I’ve been going through all along. My birthday is on October so this song holds a special place in my heart. Remember you will get through it. Continue to fight and never give up. And trust in music to heal you because it is a voice for your emotions that can be used when your mouth can’t spell out the words you want to say
Amy Lee has such a magical and soothing voice, she has helped me through some really dark times. Not just Amy Lee though, the band is amazing. They also make the songs complete.
You should listen to all of their songs, they're truely wonderful and touching, if you think this goes right into your soul, try listening to My Immortal:)
Alexander Austin Or Hello. That song is like someone stuck a knife into your soul rather than going straight to it in a gentle manner. Very emotional and sad.
I think this song is about loving someone you know isn't good for you, but finding that love is too strong for you to walk away, even though you hurt, and you know it won't stop. I think we've all been there.
I interpret it as about loving someone too good for you, and you for a while being misdirected and later realize only they can save you. But now you say that it makes sense as well.
With music, you can interpret it however you choose. You can relate it to a something or someone in your life, and find your own meaning for the lyrics. So quit fighting in the comments about what Amy intended the lyrics to be about (and whether or not they're about religion), and think about how you personally relate to the lyrics, whether that be about a lover, friend, religion, or whatever.
So sorry for your loss,i can understand you bcause i lost mine 2 years ago,her absence still feels unreal. Music can help trying to mend our broken pieces,remember she's always with you🥰
The title October has a huge meaning for me, I lost my big brother in October 2010 he was my best friend. Then I lost my grandpa in October 2012, something I still haven't recovered from because it was quite traumatic. And the lyrics go even deeper but I can relate when she says I'm sorry, because I couldn't save my brother or my grandpa and it's a guilt I'll carry to my grave. I'm 39, I'll be 40 in August but life hasn't been the same since they died.
Stephanie Hoch Thank u, that means so much. It's a daily struggle I took an overdose in January but I survived it, I don't know why but I'm still here and their not😢I guess some things aren't meant to be understood, I just wish I knew why. Thank u for your kindness.
This song reminds me of all the times that I've walked away from God just to find myself returning to Him again because in the end He is my everything.
Yes, because when God is the last thing we have, we realize that He is the only thing that we need! Without Him nothing makes sense, we live our lives without any purpose or direction. Don't give up! Fight for the salvation of your soul! Everything in this world will pass, so build eternal things! And the only way to God and the eternal life, is Jesus ♥
I've loved this song since I was a kid, 12 or 13 years old. It is literally why my name is Ari October, it was because of this song that I thought October would make a cool name. But lately this song has taken on a new meaning, one much more important to me than it ever was before. I know very few people will relate to this story but I feel compelled to tell it anyway. Maybe someday eventually it will be read by someone who needs to read it. Someone moved to tears by this song for the same reason I am. After a long spiritual journey I found myself drawn to Judaism. For over two years I attended services frequently, eventually attended the conversion classes which I excelled in, I was on track to finalizing my conversion. But near the very end of the process, I left it all behind. All because I (mistakenly!) thought nobody at shul (temple) liked me or wanted me there. So, for 3.5 years I ran from it. I tried to leave it all behind. But no matter what I did it still felt like I was already Jewish, even if I didn't want to be. It was often physically painful, it made my heart ache with yearning. But I felt like I couldn't go back, and given that I live in a small city that shul was my only choice, I couldn't go "shul shopping" and just find a different Jewish community. In February I finally caved to these feelings, I just couldn't take it anymore. I knew that Hashem is my God, the One God, and I needed to be around people who understood God the same way that I do. I had searched without any luck to find a different religion or spiritual path that was compatible with my already formed beliefs about God, but none managed to capture my heart in the same way Judaism had. This song was there for me as I struggled through this all-encompassing NEED to return to my people, and all the fear that went along with it. All the "what-ifs" and "but, but, buts". This song encapsulates how I feel towards Hashem and towards Jews. No other song can put it into words the way this one can. "In all my bitterness I ignored All that's real and true All I need is you"
I too am shattered... This song is so beautiful, brings me peace in ways nothing else will . Her music is very unique and wrenching emotionally, physically. Amen.
Carried this song with me for years. I would listen to this endlessly when I was younger. Now listening to it in adulthood, its a good song to reminisce about all of the precious moments this song is tied to. Beautiful song that is driven by powerful raw emotion.
I was alone for most time of my life, I even hadn't any friend for some years. Those times teached me about solitude and showed me that I really need to walk forward alone. Even though, I just feel like a failure in most of what I've done, and all that pain falls down on me and knock me out at the moments when I really need to be strong. There are some words of help that can't be said, not only because there's no one to hear, but also cause only ourselves can take our own hands and walk fowards our dreams, which perhaps can be realized. That's just up to us, they say. "no one will ever como to save you" This song says what I just can't say, and that's one of my favorite things in Evanescence songs. They are my comfort when anything is. I'm really sorry for my bad english
This song is so oddly appropriate. My older brother's birthday is in October but he died in 2006. Listening to this with his birthday fast approaching it's just another reminder he's not with me anymore, he's not here, he'll never grow up, and there's so much he won't be able to do because of one accident. Happy almost birthday Tyler, I miss you every day.
Kerri-Lynn Dunne I'm sorry. 😔 😢 He'll be back though. God promises in the Bible, a ressurection of the dead back to earth. My father died when I was 13. Will be 21 years next month. I know I will see him again. Have faith.
I feel this song powerful. I cry when I hear it. I feel this way about someone that I can’t be with. Because I married a man who has never had any time for me in 26 years. And the guy I have thease feelings for likes me a lot. I wish I could have known this guy before the jerk I married.
I don't wish that kinds of love on anyone. Co-dependant love, like this song is about, is unhealthy and emotionally damaging. Love yourself the best you can, be happy 100% in yourself first, without relying on someone else to make you happy.
Going through the hardest time in life I've ever gone through. This song is everything. I just found God. This song speaks to me in a different language now than it used to. Hopefully I'll make it through
jwhitloctombraider yes, only a person who has been in a close relationship with God long enough knows His forgiveness and Mercy. I can perfectly understand how she describes that straying from Him was cutting her so deep. About how she couldn’t ignore Him because once you know Him you’re never the same again. About how He is her only strength, hope, love and how His Grace is abounding. Keep persevering my friend in Christ!! This song is special to me for the same reason. Like the Scriptures say you’re not suffering alone. & for anyone else on here who feel like the prodigal Son, He is waiting for you with open arms.
Sad my friend. How do you unbelieve? Time spent in His presence should not be undone. You may have been a rock, letting the water of Gods Spirit and Word flow over never pentatrating the soul when the idea is to become a sponge taking in all of whom He is! Once you truly know Him, you will never want to be out of His presence or will. I will pray for you!
This song it helped me so much in one of the hardest fights of my faith! I got so mad at God and tried to run from him.But he is my everything and this song reminded me of that! So thankful she did this song and God sent it my way randomly.

Acordei com essa música na cabeça hoje. É muito bom vc lembrar de uma música, ir nas plataformas musicais e saber que ela está lá.
Amy is so emotionally into this song it makes me want to say i'm sorry for the wrong's i need to right. It brings me back to loving life again, Amy is awesome.
I like Amy Lee because she is just amazing at what she does and how much she cares about her fans and EV. You can tell when an artist takes there time and put everything they have into it. Amy works hard to make her fans happy. And she doesn't strip down for views she wants people to hear her voice. Its hard to find a singer like Amy who is smart and hardworking and takes time with her music. I love that the most about Amy!
This song pretty much nails it for me. I’m a human being and I cannot ignore than I’m naturally vulnerable and I have the innate desire to love and be loved like everyone else deep down.
I started to listening to Evancence scans I was 10 years old but now I am 17 but I am turning 18 soon but Amy Lee is the best Artists that I ever here her songs. But after my dad last away the songs she sings help me feel better :) :)
I can't run anymore, I fall before you, Here I am, I have nothing left, Though I've tried to forget, You're all that I am, Take me home, I'm through fighting it, Broken, Lifeless, I give up, You're my only strength, Without you, I can't go on, Anymore, Ever again. My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love. I can't run anymore, I give myself to you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, In all my bitterness, I ignored, All that's real and true, All I need is you, When night falls on me, I'll not close my eyes, I'm too alive, And you're too strong, I can't lie anymore, I fall down before you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love. Constantly ignoring, The pain consuming me, But this time it's cut too deep, I'll never stray again. My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love, My only hope, (All the times I've tried) My only peace, (To walk away from you) My only joy, My only strength, (I fall into your abounding grace) My only power, My only life, (And love is where I am) My only love.
Listening to this song brings a flood of memories into my mind..throughout my teen yrs. I’am 22 now, I’ve been battling self harm pretty much throughout my life. I’d be self harming and then I’d be clean, I remember listening to this song sooo many times late at night sobbing my heart out. Asking God to give me the strength to keep fighting and running back to Him because I was weak. One way some how and one day I’ll personally thank Amy for being there for me throughout my entire life🖤. She’s saved me soooo MANY freaking times. This song will FOREVER hold a VERY special place in my life and 🖤. Know I’am not looking for ANY sympathy WHATSOEVER!
I have myself listened to many of her songs before Fallen. Lies, October, Anywhere, all are very sad songs but they make me smile. I have such a strong connection to Evanescence and I have eve since I was a child. Amy's songs have always put a smile on my face.
"My only love, my only joy, my only strength" basically describes my experience as a closeted trans person growing up. Being a woman is the only thing that has made me happy, and now that I am out, "love is where I am."
my sister, who is now a man is the happiness of my life. he's the best and I connect with you kinda. he's told me everything about the lbgt part I never had a relationship w my sister then he became a man and we connect better than ever.
Sierra Paige brother* I'm sure he'd appreciate being called brother not sister. Trust me I'm a trans girl and my sister doesn't call me brother. She calls me sister because that's what I am. Him being a transman...he's your brother. The other way is unfitting. Just trying to help🌞☮️
Happy October everyone welcome back good to see you all again this year! Who got married, who got divorced? Who got back pain? Anyone have arthritis yet? You're all looking great, I've aged horrendously.
I've heard all the evanescence ep's...the last song I'm wasting on you is another good one to test how dead inside I am XD and breathe no more...and field of innocence...
It seems to me a song written for Jesus, it shows repentance, and the need for a savior, since alone she cant save herself, shes tried many times, but she is tired (I fall into your abounding grace) etc) says the song. if im wrong let me know.
April 19, 2019... And I'm still listening to this amazing work of art. This is music. Ah... How I miss the early 2000s. There aren't many good artists nowadays, it sucks.
I never get tired of this song. It does not matter how many times I play it. That's just too sad that Amy will never record this song again, or even Solitude or Anywhere. And I hope those ones never get lost on the internet.
