Evanescence - Field Of Innocence - Lyrics

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody and D. Hodges
Based on a poem written by Ben Moody. He's also reading it in the background. A slowed-down sample from the song is known as Demise.
The female vocal ensemble is composed of Suvi Petrajajvri, Sara Moore, Catherine Harris, and Samantha Strong.
The Latin chanting repeated throughout the song was not written by Evanescence. It is a snippet from the song "Morning Hymn" from the Preludium of the Broadway version of Sound of Music. According to MutantQuasar, an Evboarder, the Latin translated to English means:
O Jesus, King most wonderful!
Thou Conqueror renowned!
Thou Sweetness most ineffable!
in whom all joys are found!
Ben's poem:
As the years pass by before my face
As wars rage before me
Finding myself in these last days of existence
This parasite inside me I forced it out
In the darkness of the storm
Lies an evil
But it's me

It's tragically funny how fast we wish to grow up and only to realize when we do how much we wish to be children again
Felt that
Damnn this hit me hard 😢😢
sooooooooooooo true I wanted so hard to become 12 once I was 13 I was sad I was too old... I am 31 and I am sad and I mean sad at every birthday.....
Absolutely true, especially when realizing that things don’t go as we want them to be all the time
😭
I'm a writer. I write horror and violent stories, and i'm very happy. People sometimes ask me how I can think of such dark things if I'm so happy. I tell them that imagining a terrible, evil world can make the one we live in seem better
The biggest same on Earth
Ummm we DO live in a terrible, evil world lol. Tell them u write realism
BOI
Can you name some of your stories? Would love to read them
“Unexpressed emotions never die; they are buried alive, and will emerge again later in uglier ways.” -Sigmund Freud
Is that with the voices in the song
Can we just appreciate the absolute beauty that is the intro to this song? I can’t get enough of it.
When she says she remembers the sun always being warm on her back but somehow feels colder now....damn, that hit hard
Surely no one says this about their saddest song, but “Field of Innocence” takes the number 1 on the saddest song I’ve heard. It’s not even about death or any other traumatic event, but the delivery is what matters the most to move someone to tears. The rawness of the demo recording and the Latin choir were some of the contributions for displaying the most intense sorrow imaginable in a song.
the whole origin album is spine-chillingly sorrowful
This song is gut wrenching for me
This song is designed to fuck with your emotions. It sums how I'm feeling as an autistic adult.
You said it perfectly. I even listen to this song in times of happiness to rediscover those emotions and help understand myself better.
I literally thought, "I want the warm sun on my back" because I am sitting outside and it reminded me of her lyric.
Though happiness is rare in life, when you are, reflect on when you weren't and you can learn how much stronger you have become by overcoming those past horrible times
I miss the days when everything was fine and nothing was wrong.
me too, now all day is grey
Every cloud has a silver lining
Why you look sad, i about the hard life?, or we need to look forward and do whatever we gonna do or just do what make us happy.The most important is the good company, health and love.
love does not exist
I hope u are fine now
I will never get bored With evanescence😍😍😍
Same 😍
So true.
Same here
True 😍❤️

Childhood innocence is almost sacred to me. It's so pure...wow. Beautiful song
I’m a depressed adult, that was a shining child.
I had a golden heart, I talked to anyone. I wanted everyone to be my friend, I was the daughter every mom and dad wished for, life was light, cheerful and worth living!
Nowadays my parents and I broke relations, and I’m just a stranger living in their house. Life seems to be not worth living anymore, you know? The lightness of life just turned into a heavy burden.
I think the breakdown of my life was between 2011-2014. I discovered the human cruelty. I was bullied by childhood friends. They said the most cruel things about me: I was stupid, fat, ugly, retarded, a slut... the bullying got worse until they failed school and I moved in to the next grade. Then a guy I crushed manipulated me into having sex with me. He nearly got what he wanted (I was 12 at the time and didn’t know how that stuff worked)
I was destined to be a much better human being. I was supposed to be the nicest and shiniest adult. Cruel people kill the good children inside us
And all that’s left behind are living empty shells
Hi I know this is late but I am so sorry to hear that even tho we are strangers I love u keep ya head up for them brighter days
your life mirrors mine almost exactly. you are not alone. we are all around and even so close to you without you knowing. your empathy may feel like a curse but its the one thing you have in abundance that most do not. its what makes you so special and powerful. learn to use your gift. stay strong. i know you can do it!
I'll pray for you.
"... living empty shells...." That's...so accurate it hurts
we are all to support your back you are he best ever dont let anything let you down you are better human than any other i will pray for you
it's bad to lose your innocence
it hurts even worse to have it ripped away from you.
the sun hasn't been warm for ages.
😭💔
The sun isn't warm, it's hot.
@@boysponge705 got em
the sun is insanely hot what the heck are ya even talkin about?
But it is always there when you are ready.
This song is really powerful! Describes the true meaning of being a child.
I heartily concur.
I saw many sad comments here, so I'll tell you about the positive side in this all.
When we were children we saw a beautiful and colourful world. We wanted friends and a happy mommy and daddy. Some of us got that, and others didn't. So they struggle and struggle. I struggled for a long time and I was very sad and lonely. And now I've decided that it had to stop. I don't need "friends" nor a happy mammy or daddy. I live a lonely, selfish and happy life on my own. If others don't like that, let them. If you dislike this world, create your own where you can be innocent, it's never too late to create paradise for yourself. I don't have to accept reality, just respect it's presence while I stay my own innocent child in my world.
And that world is just as beautiful as reality was for me as a kid. Am I happy? Not yet, but that just means that my life isn't over. Hang in there, that beautiful world will create itself one day.
So true
I'm glad to see you write that. I too create my own reality, and spend as much time there as I can. I'm quite happy, although by all external appearances I must appear a sad sack (early 30s, live alone, and my once bright career has slowly faded). You really don't need people or career success if you have a rich inner life.
....the song is about prostitution
***** i struggled cuz my family is slowly breaking and disappearing.... but i hope my colourful world will come :) thanks for this comment
I know this comment is old, but I just want to say thank you. I've been struggling to find a place within myself that I can call "home". Reading this gave me a new hope again.
Her voice displays so much emotion, I just feel like crying...and screaming it on the top of my lungs..beautiful
Ditto.
The lyrics speak to me in so many levels,i seriously can't tell you how much i missed my childhood and my innocence,that period of time where you don't have to worry about anything the whole world is your playground you can basically just use your imagination to be happy but sadly it doesn't last nothing good ever lasts. :'(
This song reminds me of the time in my life when I knew I had to leave an abusive husband yet i was so scared. But I knew that God wanted me to be free so I took the chance and today I am a free woman. I risked my life and I thank Evanescence for empowering me to believe in myself and to know there was a better future. Thank you Amy Lee, you were always there with me.
Camaryn Loren this is amazing !!! I am so proud of you that you took this step
I'm happy you made that choice, im sure it wasn't easy.
By FAR the best and deepest song from Evanescence, true brilliance right here.. Amy's voice is just exquisite and most fitting to portrait the massive amounts of nostalgia,desperation and grievance buried in this song. Excellence.
I get sad hearing this song. I came to it because lately school and life has just gotten me down. I'm always sad and stressed but only when I'm alone and have time to think. I miss the innocence of a child when you knew nothing and loved life. As a 13 year old teenager, life is tough and will only get tougher. Thank you Evanescence for this song. It helps me through hard times.
I still remember the world ,From these eyes of a child .
That opening still gives me goosebumps after all these years
The first time I heard this song ten years ago, I would think back on my childhood and feel down about it because I thought I was so much of an adult at 18. Now I hear it and get nostalgic for when I was 18 and didn't have all the responsibilities and issues I have now. Long gone are the days when my biggest problem was that some idiot boy didn't like me back.
This is the only song that I know of that gets deeper and more meaningful with age.
Ailee Dubaron I dont remember being innocent enough to believing in everything after witnessing domestic violence and screaming all around my home I dont remember a time I even felt like a child
@@isabellastens3078 I had the same childhood but I still felt like a child. It wasn't all bad
Ive loved someone that didnt love me back, and been loved by someone I didnt love back. And idk which is worse. Having your heart broken, or braking someones heart
This song is such a poem...it is one of the best songs of Evanescence
If you’re listening this in 2021, you are not alone, keep believing, i love you ❤️
2024 🙌🏻
Beauty in longing and loneliness, reminiscing of a time that was good... Pure beauty in just five minutes of music.
Beautiful song, I hadn't heard it in a while then I recently had a strange dream: while the whole song was playing, I was walking with Amy in a field full of abandoned cars as the sun was shining. She had such a kind smile. We were looking for her heart. Sounds funny this way but it was both a painful and beautiful dream. Made me wanna listen to this song again.
Probably the most captivating song in my opinion. A song for a lifetime. ❤
This song hits hard as an adult.
Wow. Just wow. Ben's poem was just freaking amazing, and the song just blew my mind. Man, Amy just seems to understand the world in such an amazing way. God bless her.
I still remember my mother she's always in my mind and she has all my heart with her. I hope she is in a much better place than earth, a place where it's all green and all the people are much better than us because she deserves this and she's the best person I've ever met. 10 years without her and i still remember her every time i get to sleep because she was everything for me. I truly miss you mum and I really want to see again but i can't do anything please come to my dreams only once i want to hug you and say that i love you so much.
That breaks my heart, the feeling of loss and missing is the worst there can be imo...
😭❤️🩹
Wow...this song is so haunting.. it gives me goose bumps each time I watch it
This song like basically every Evanescence song envokes so much emotion from me. I feel the Sorrow, Yearning and Wishing so much in all her songs. Particularily in this one. I think we all have had this thought or wish once or more in our lives. I wish I could go back to innocent times.
This song makes me reflect back to my childhood,and I cant help but cry like a baby, how I lost my best friend, I still cry to this day... (I was 12 at the time, 25 now.) The good memories will never escape me, and I will always keep him close to heart.
It does get better my dear, I was abused by a family member and bullied at school.. I know how you feel, and how tough it can get.. But you must keep your head high, you will pull through this. Don't give up and don't give in! Brighter days will be bestowed upon you.
An universal song that speaks to everybody .. loss of innocence (innocence so precious by the way ) and discovery of truth and reality. Discovery makes very hurt. But only lucid people can understand! Beautiful cry of suffering! Thanks evanescence
I wish I was still in kindergarten, we were all just innocent kids, it seemed like nothing else mattered, back then, the biggest thing that someone could talk about, were the biggest crayon pack, dolls and the newest toys.
Thanks for posting this. I really appreciated the English traslation of the Latin Hymn and the lines to Ben's poem. Beautiful song sung by a magical lady. Thanks
this song make me cry...
"Where has my heart gone?
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger"
This part is so awesome!!! I LOVE this song!
I love this song. It's my teenage years in a nutshell. It reminds me of one of my favourite quotes (can't remember who by but) it goes like this; in childhood we get joy from something as simple as the green of a leaf. But as we grow older the truth of decay and death sinks in and we go throw something know as malocholey of the soul. But if a person is strong enough, they get through this. While they may never reclaim this innocence, they get through it and gain something more lasting. For in the darkest of the universe we must bring our own light.
It's 4 am and I'm sobbing. I want to go back. Adulthood has not been kind to me. I used to play in a field on our property where my childhood home was. The sun was always warm on my back as I listened to the trees blow in the wind. Birds flying above me in a bright blue sky. I was so free and happy. I don't think I'll ever stop grieving over the fact that I'll never get it back. I wish I could remember leaving that field as a happy innocent little girl full of life for the last time....I wish I could go back to that moment and stay there a little longer. 💔
This song was the only thing that was by my side during the darkest days. Those days felt like they would never end. In this world, even our loved ones and the people around us can hurt and destroy us, making us want to disappear in despair.
things are better now dont give up
A saudade que todos as pessoas carregam...
E que só Amy consegue expressar de forma tão genuína! 🥹
beautiful voice that speaks the truth of life and relates to me
Love her voice in this song! Its absolutely beautiful.
This song means way too much to me. Not a day will go by that hearing it won't put me in a somber mood at the drop of a hat.
Ben's poem just sends shivers up my spine. Beautifully written. Positively amazing
This is one of my favorite songs from Evanescence and I feel like I can relate to it. The reason I can relate to it is because as a young adult I still fight against negative influences that society has created like drugs, sex, murders, discrimination, and violence. I started knowing about these things when I was 11yrs old. Once I knew about those things I just wished everything was rosy again. Even though I know that this world is cruel I still have my child like innocence and move forward.
I remember when i was a kid and used to wonder what depression was..now i know it better than the back of my hand.
This song brought tears for obvious reasons.
Ignorance is truely bliss.
Life can be so cruel
I'm crying listening to this song, it always happens, but I love this feeling :3
I love this song. There's much truth in it. That's why Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like infants and children.
The words of this song applies so much to our present situation in 2023 it’s scary.
I can really relate to this song. I wish I could go back to the days when I was a little kid, when my biggest problem was whether or not I got to use the swing that I wanted. Now there is so much more. Back then I thought the world was crashing down around me, and now I would give almost anything to go back to those days. They were so easy, so simple. Man, I miss them.
god, i wish i could be a little girl again. i never had to worry about ANYTHING. i love the line "where has my heart gone? an uneven trade for the real world" and also... was i the only one who replayed "somehow, it seems colder now." ?? i loveeee how unique her voice sounds with the other voices echoing. then her voice begins to over power the other voices. im in love
My innocence was taken from me ... That's why I cry every time I listen to this
I'm so sorry.
i related to this sing so hard for a decade before I realized what had happened to me as a child. I'm in my mid 20s now.
you are a survivor, be strong, don't ever blame yourself, I wish you the best♡
Lenore :(
My sympathies to you all. I wish you the best, please stay strong.
I'm 18 years old. I have a lot of worries, problems, responsabilities... but I don't miss being a child at all. The only part of it that I miss is my heart not aching this much and my world not being as cold as nowadays.
I like the freedom and power I have now. Since very little I always wanted to grow up for independence, and that's the positive side of growing up
I still remember when i used to hear this song many years ago... since that time I had already lost something. Bittersweet memories.
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Most captivating line to me.
2019!! And man I can't listen to this without shedding even 1 tear.
I love how you're stating what you believe in, in a respectful and loving manner. You have no idea how many Christians come on here and simply say "You're going to Hell." Just by reading this I see that you are not only a Christian but you are a disciple. God bless you and thank you.
As a poet I appreciate the lyrics of Amy Lee! What I would give to have a conversation about writing with her.
UnderTheStars تحت النجوم chill
Except Ben wrote the poem
She didn't write this song, Mr Poet
Ben wrote it
@@khyron96 Any wrote the song, musically and lyrically. Ben just added the spoken word part.
I can relate to this so well, I was bullied since I was 8 I was afraid to go to school because they would wait for me. I didn't tell my parents because I thought that would only make it worse. I had to grow up fast to be able to protect myself. Now I am 16 and wish that I could do it all over but I also know that i still have a whole life to do the things that i couldn't do when I was afraid , so for all the people out there that are the same don't give up hope because you are never alone.
these songs are so haunting and true they speak out of the core of my soul a reason why i like evanescence so much... i can relate to their songs plus Amy's voice is just angelic *_*
2024 here still one of the best songs by this amazing band
One of my favourite evanescence songs. It's so nostalgic anyone can relate!
Mais comment ce titre n'est-il jamais sorti sur album ??
C'est juste un chef d'œuvre absolu ❤
*I'm in awe of how beautiful this song is* 💖
Her voice is always so haunting and beautiful
I love it!!
Why...Why did everything just have to go? All the times where I didn't have to care about the world. Times where I didn't have the responsibilities that I do now. Times before things were breaking apart. It's all gone now... I can't ever go back. All I can do is continue to move forward with nostalgia constantly eating me alive.
An uneven trade for the real world....
the most uneven trade I have ever witnessed :/
Oh, I
I wish I could go back to
Believing in everything
And knowing nothing at all
Where has my heart gone? Trapped in the eyes of a stranger..
One of my absolute favorite songs
People like you are the reason I try to be nice to everyone. You never know what someone has been through until you are in the same situation as them.
i used to listen to this when i was young... all the shouting the yelling ....this music defines it all
one of my favourite songs
I envy the naive, those with innocent thoughts, ideas and actions. Life totally corrupted my thoughts and the way I see the world now. How can I see anything good with so many bad things in life? As a child, I did not care for such things even though I had to protect myself every day from those who were suppose to protect me. I know life is not easy or fair to some but we have to keep fighting for ourselves to make it all better. I have to break this negative spiral that entrapped me and stands in my way to happiness. The presence of the desire of becoming lifeless is a desire to overcome, even though no one believes in me. I have to make it better for myself and continue with the struggle of life. I know that it is worthwhile in the end and I owe it to myself. You, anyone with similar thoughts and feelings, owe it to yourself too to make your life better for yourself. Don't run or give in to your inner demons, but stand your ground and fight for yourself over and over again because in the end we can be strong enough to defeat them. I love Evanescence because I can relate to so many (if not all) of her songs. I do not feel alone anymore because she understands how I feel with her lyrics.
Vinh Banh I believe that you can do it, and I understand how you feel to, if not the same then similar. A lot of people keep telling me how innocent I am, but this whole year I felt like all that innocence was draining out of me because of the corruptions of the world and all the bad things people do for their own benefit. And everyone around me keeps doing bad things and saying bad things and I don't know what to do. I feel like the innocence I have left prevents people from liking me. But you are right, we should all keep fighting and not give in to demons! I believe that we can both do that, and everyone who listens to Evanescence to feel understood.
@@melomelodie8279 yeah i used to be super depressed angry hostile terrified as a teenager and that is not how i am now in my thirties i am much wiser now i have grown since then
@@aishabhatti5309 that's great, it's good to know you've improved yourself. It takes a lot of guts to change, I'm still trying ig.
Reading this after feeling unloved few minutes ago. childhood abuse sucks. My parents hurt me when I was a child especially my abusive dad. My mom didn't protect me from him and kept defending him. The were supposed to give me love and protection.
"i had to protect myself from those who were supposed to protect me". I can relate. It hurts especially that we were just little with no power.
"This parasite inside of me, I forced it out
The Darkness of the storm lies an evil
But it's me "
Don't give up hope. Innocence can be recreated into something beautiful
This is specially to come back to when you don't have a childhood to miss
Innocence...where have you gone?
I remember feeling like this around 8th grade. Honestly, that was a year of changes for me. Remember whatever happens remember that this will all make you a better person in the end. I know you can get through this. I believe in you.
I still remember the world from the eyes of a child.
I refuse to see how evil people grow day by day...
I refuse to see how people try to bring each other down instead of helping...
I refuse to see how our dreams are failing in front of us...
I refuse to believe things will get worse...
I refuse to see the world from the grown up's eyes.
This song reminds me of when I lost my dad and I had to grow up and everything changed. I want to go back to believing things were great and life was perfect. Nothing was wrong and my parents were happy. My dad was still alive. But life turned on me at a young age and this song brings it all back.
is it weird that I cry when I hear this song?
No it's completely normal
I'm not who you think I am I cry to
Umm how do you know that?
No. I cry every time I hear this. Speaks the same feelings I keep deep within myself, suppressed away from consciousness until I remind myself of these true feelings... :(
No its normal specially in this day and age when its all work work work
My childhood was stolen from me. This song touches me very deeply. I love evanescence!!!
Once, we wanted to grow up... Then, we want to go back in the time...
We'll never be pleased!!! That's why the humans need fantasy or fiction and to create new worlds through videogames, books, music and other arts
Skyrim Fairy Tail Music Drawings & Books who wanted to grow up? What kind of kid were you? The goal of a kid was always to not grow up, to not fall into the miserableness of being an adult as time marched anyways
'cause reality sucks
its impossible to believe this band ever disbanded. i love evanescence :)
No song has ever resonated with me as much as this one. It could be my own heart singing it
I wish I could just be a kid again and sit down outside during the cold december harmattan season like I did 30something years ago...just sitting there in the cold listening as the winds whisper into my ears ..knowing everything and nothing at all...
so happy from the outside...but eyes can't pretend...sadness can't hide behind their flames
Even as a child, i could see the pain in the world. at least for half of my childhood i was "Innocent". Then i switched schools, and everything went to hell from there. I had no "real" friends, and half the people in that school hated me. The first year of middle school made me start cutting myself. But I made friends, who helped me stop. And im glad they were there to help me. For any Hell that comes my way now, cutting, nor suicide is not an option. Thank you Evanescence, for being here.
This song makes me realize what a monster I've become.
Somebody help me through this nightmare, I cant escape myself
I found myself, through Teal Swan perspective, I was just fragmened because of punishment reward system. Now I understand, where there are rules there will always be war.
it makes us all realize the monsters that were just hiding and waiting...inside us all along
Man me too
What happened
*eyes sparkle* th-th-that was beautiful *cries at the beauty*
Wow what a song...
Reminds me of my childhood
Feel so grateful that I grew up listening to Linkin Park and Evanescence. Their songs live within me till today and shall do always.
I think we can all relate to this
Aun enamorado de esta canción. Ojalá hicieran um Synthesis 2.0 con canciones como estas. Arte puro.
translate that hymn for those curious:
"jesus, admirable king,
noble conquerer,
ineffably sweet,
lovely."
Thank you, I always wondered
Even jesus himself said that he's not good. Only God is good. No one is worthy of praise than God. Only God. He has no parents or children.
@@AK-hp4rj, he has a son, and Jesus himself told it and died for us, killed by his own people, if you're a muslim that's okay but there are others who aren't and I believe firmly in the sacrifice of Jesus for us and in Jesus as the son of God, and yes, he has children, we're like his children, all of us, including the angels of course, he's our creator, but Jesus is in another level, he's God himself too, he's there since the very beginning
@@doloresgronenberg5882 God has no children. God doesn't die. God forgives sins. The only sin He won't forgive is ascribing partners to Him. Jesus (peace be upon him) was nothing more than a messenger of God. All praise and glory to God, the Lord of the worlds. The Quran says "to you is your religion and to me is my religion". And "we shall see on That Day". So peace be upon you!
@@AK-hp4rj God is mysterious, you can't talk as if you knew him, actually, we know nothing about God except for what he allowed us to know through Bible... so, saying God is this and can't be like that is wrong
Wow! That poem is sooo deep!! I never knew this song was based on a poem. I love it more now, being I'm into poetry. This is something I would've written.
This song speaks the truth on how I feel now too and how I look at things. 💔😢
my best advice to you is just stay true to yourself, dont change yourself for anyone, esspecially those who hurt you, because in the end, you will only hurt you and those you love the most.
This makes me sad, I like it :)
'' i still remember the world from the eyes of a child ''... very touching, because childhood is the time your conscience is still growing, and the reason of most depression cases is because people haven't forgot something in they're unconscious, probably caused by a strong fact in their childhood. Very touching.
