Evanescence - Going Under Lyrics

Now I will tell you what I've done for you
Fifty thousand tears I've cried
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me, going under

Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily, defeated by you
Just when I thought, I reached the bottom

I'm dying again, I'm going under
Drowning in you, I'm falling forever
I've got to break through, I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
So I don't know what's real and what's not
So I don't know what's real and what's not
Always confusing the thoughts in my head


So I can't trust myself anymore
I'm dying again, I'm going under
Drowning in you, I'm falling forever
I've got to break through, I'm

So go on and scream
Scream at me, I'm so far away
I won't be broken again
I've got to breathe, I can't keep going under

I'm dying again, I'm going under
Drowning in you, I'm falling forever
I've got to break through, I'm going under
Going under, I'm going under

  This song is about trying to get the person she wrote the song to to see her and all that she does. Shes screaming for attention but he just manages to bring her down even further. She also mentions in the song about him teeling her lies so she doesnt know whats wrong and right. Basically, shes saying she cant trust her own choices because he makes her feel as though shes always wrong. In the chorus its stating how shes under his/her finger and she needs to break free so she can be herself. Personally, for me to sing this song its a great stress reliever... And the vocals are beautiful
