History TearJerker / Evanescence

* "Fields of Innocence" is a dissection of how traumatic growing up can be:

* "Far From Heaven" is an especially tear-jerking GriefSong about the loss of the speaker's loved one. "All my life/Didn't want to dream I could lose you".

* "Lithium," about taking solace in unhappiness and the struggle with making unhappiness and happiness work together.

* "Missing," is about someone who asks themselves if anyone would miss them (and implies suicide with the line 'Even though I'm the sacrifice').
* "Hello," on ''Fallen'' is about someone who's very young who is broken down due to a trauma -- a girl's death. It was written and dedicated to lead singer Amy Lee's little sister, who died at the age of 2 of an unknown disease.
* "My Last Breath," is sung by a dying person to their loved one who can't do anything to avoid it.

* "Tourniquet" is a damn depressing song, when you listen to the lyrics and realize what is about. Basically, the singer has been DrivenToSuicide (apparently by slitting her wrists, judging from the title and constant mention of "blood" in the chorus,) and only has regrets about what she has done once she passes over the point of no return, and tries to repent in her last moments.

* "Anywhere," see LyricalDissonance for more. So say, the dark key the song is in, blurry line between happy lyrics and nobody's there for you lyrics.

* "Made of Stone" will make anybody tear up if they did everything right and gave their all and even changed their personality for someone they loved [[LoveMartyr for what ultimately came to nothing.]]

-->"'Cause I can't hold on"
-->"To anything this [[TitleDrop good enough]]"
-->Am I [[TitleDrop good enough?]]"
-->"For you to love me too."

-->You're [[StepfordSmiler the one who cries when you're alone.]]

* "Even in Death" (to a degree, though also severe terror,) in the "[[Franchise/TheCrow people die, but real love is forever]]" sense.

* "Lithium," about taking solace in unhappiness.
** It's also possible that "Lithium" is about struggling with bipolar disorder, which is what lithium is typically prescribed to treat. It's a mood stabilizer and a lot of people with the disorder would rather deal with the ups and downs then feel numb and emotionless, as described in the lyrics.

* "Missing," is about someone who asks themselves if anyone would miss them (and implies suicide with the line 'Even though I'm the sacrifice'.)

* "Everybody's Fool" is some severe self loathing (and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhC1pI76Rqo the music video]] ''does not help at all'',) also fake people and when you figure out someone you used to love/support/aspire to was fake how much that hurts.
* "Fields of Innocence" is a dissection of how traumatic growing up can be.

-->''Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all''.

* "Lost in Paradise" about a loss of direction in life and confusion in "Paradise."
** All are particularly from ''Evanescence (2011)''.

* "Made of Stone" will make anybody tear up if they did everything right and gave their all and even changed their personality for someone they loved [[LoveMartyr for what ultimately came to nothing]].
* "Taking Over Me."

-->''[[TitleDrop You're taking over me]]''.
* "Good Enough" has a lovely tone that can be considered sad and some angst in the lyrics.

--> Am I [[TitleDrop good enough?]]"
--> "For you to love me too."

* "Hello," on ''Fallen'' is about someone who's very young who is broken down due to a trauma -- a girl's death.
** For those of you who don't know. "Hello" was written and dedicated to lead singer Amy Lee's little sister, who died at the age of 2 by an unknown disease.

** It's more likely that "Lithium" is about struggling with bipolar disorder, which is what lithium is typically prescribed to treat. The lyrics "Don't wanna lock me up inside" and "I wanna stay in love with my sorrow, but God, I wanna let it go" support this theory because lithium is a mood stabilizer and a lot of people with bipolar disorder would rather deal with the ups and downs then feel numb and emotionless.
