| in my opinion. this song is about a girl being in a relationship. shes in a relationship with a guy who is only in love with her beauty and not personality. hence the line "i cant help but wonder, which of us do you love" and she had been caught up in how the media portrays "beautiful" with all this makeup and glamour. and she finally came to realize that her boyfriend was only in love with her beauty and not her mind. and shes feeling like nobody knows the real her. they only know wat the mirror portrays. so she smashes the mirror and then with part of the mirror she cuts herself and she bleeds and bleeds until she bleeds no more. | |

| I always felt this was about keeping your feelings within... "Safe inside myself / are all my thoughts of you" She keeps her feelings to herself, where they are 'safe' - no one can step on them or reject them. "Hold on to me love / You know I can't stay long All I wanted to say was / I love you and I'm not afraid" But now that she knows she's dying she is no longer afraid of the consequences, and admits her true feelings. For one final moment of happiness... | |

| i think that this is the best song eva, together with a few other A.lee's songs...i think its about saying goodbye to someone you really love, telling them not to worry, yet knowing how much you are going to hurt them, and that you as you go to " the winter" will be waighting for them as tey continue to live in this world, in what i imagine to be pure hell... | |

| One correction: It's "sweet raptured light," not "sweet rapture and life." Yeah, just being my usual nit-picky self. I would say something else, but I can't think of anything. O_o | |

| I think it definetley creates a picture of leaving,probably dying,and not being afraid,as the song says.And also of 'dying' and wanting to spend the last minutes with your love. This is portrayed in the first verse. Holding my last breath clearly says,and "safe inside myself my self are all my thoughts of you" is like saying that she'll always love him no matter what-even through death. If "hiding in a hollow tree" means,anything,my only guess would be for her love to find her in the land of the dead when he dies to. "closing your eyes to disappear" possibly,the pain for her love is too strong and tries to not be there for the pain,and "you pray your dreams will leave you here" is like hopefully finding her soon. "calling me calling me as you fade to black" is,obviously,saying her name as she dies,"fading to black" is like looking at her love as she dies. I think that's what this song is saying.So sad,and I love it SO much!! | |

| I love this song, its beautiful and covers such a moving topic, I tihnk this is my favourite song from Fallen, its so beautifully written and the lyrics are so powerful. I agree with sally_cinnamon, I dont think its about suicide as she doesn't seem to want to leave, either way, this song is absolutely amazing, I love every word of it. | |

| this song is about "I will just call her Amy Lee as she writes all their music" A.Lee has died and she is telling her love good bye as she is passing away, holding her last breath, saying she cant stay long but she loves him and shes not afraid to leave 1)Hold on to me love You know I can't stay long All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid she says she will miss the winter and a world of fragile things.she is leaving here. 2)I'll miss the winter A world of fragile things Look for me in the white forest Hiding in a hollow tree. the white forest, refrences, the world of the dead (ie) ghosts.......hiding in hallow tree..... very beautiful song, it only blows my mind that A.Lee is so full of wisdom, for only a 22 year old woman...where does she draw from, my thoughts would be that of devine insite she is very truely awesome!!!! | |

| Oh my god this is so sad. This is my worst fear and for someone merely 21 (maybe she is 22 now) to actually visiualize this or perhaps she experienced it with the lost of a loved one, it takes a lot of courage. But this is one of the biggest reasons why I want to progress spiritually. To have the knowledge that there is more to this life and a person does not just "fade to black." That they have moved on and someday I'll be able to celebrate eternity with them. Perhaps Amy, and of course, Ben Moody for he has a big role in bringing this music to life to ironically give you the feeling of death, are trying to convey how much emotion and love will remain within the departing soul from their experiences with their lover. It would make me feel so much better if all the love and effort I gave to someone to make both of us truly happy together (and of course vice versa), would not just dissipate. And that is where I happily can say that I'm glad I learned science. Because to know that matter cannot be created nor destroyed, only changed, I do believe emotions do not simply disappear. The thing that I see that makes this song so powerful is how the roles are switched. As in "I'll miss the winter A world of fragile things" The departing lover knows that he/she will be in a safe place. A place where pain and suffering is no longer felt. Yet it is the one left alive that is truly dying, for that person is the one desperately listening and crying those tears to be tasted. Once again the lyrics and music forge a truly powerful song, for the one that suffers is not the one who dies, but the people around them. | |
