| I luv this song...I guess it could be about God i really like that interpretation...but i also think that it really is about a girl who left her lover and found that she can't go on without him and though she tried to forget him and move on she can't and she comes back to him begging for him to take her back because she needs him... My fav part: When night falls on me I'll not close my eyes I'm too alive (I think that's about being torn between wanting to give up and turning away but something is holding you, and you find yourself holding onto the past, you can't let go, no matter how hard you try...) | |

| Ugh, I suppose I'm the ONLY not-christian person who likes this song? I think it could mean that, but if Amy Lee wrote it, she isn't exactly christian, she has said she doesn't have a definite religion, but Ben Moody is VERY christian...so I think it depends on your view point. When I read it, I immediately thought of deep love and affection and stuffl ike that y'know? Maybe because with my boyfriend, I feel constantly at fault (not because of him, because of my own insecurities) and I'm constantly apologizing and...so maybe that's just me. | |

| Well, I was going to comment on the religious thing, but divinediscontent already said everything I was going to. -round of applause- If I was intelligent, I would speculate here on why the song is called October. But I can't, as I honestly have no clue. O_o But...yeah, this is a very beautiful song. And I think that's it. -nod- P.S. I lied, I do have one thing to say. This song and Tourniquet are the only two Evanescence songs that I actually interpret as being about God. Just because it's the only interpretation that fits perfectly--having run away from God, turned your back on your faith, then realizing what a mistake you've made and coming back to ask God for forgiveness. It doesn't necessarily have to just be the Christian God either--whatever higher power you personally believe in, it still works. But hey, feel free to interpret the song however you want to. Everybody can look at it and see two totally different things. That's what the little question thinger says "What does this song mean to YOU?" instead of just "What does this song mean?" Yeah, that was long. I'll shut up now. O_o | |

| yea..i agree with no1special...but i think its about accepting christ,..turning away from him and then realizing how much you need him, and that you will never leave him again..etc. | |

| as much as i hate to say it, because evanescen is one of my favorite bands.....but yes....i would *definately* say that this song is about God. The way she adds in "Im sorry" really gives you the feel of her repentance. Its quite obviously about God, and how she's come to realize how she needs Him in her life, how He has been the one true thing for her, how He is her one true love, blah blah blah, etc. etc. etc. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial. Period. | |

| This is possibly their best song. Amy Lee is beautiful and she has a beautiful voice. But why is the song titled "October?" | |
