(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, paper flowers) [X2]
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they're falling, tell a story
[Chorus:]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
[Chorus]
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
[Chorus]
(Paper flowers)

It´s scary how well this song describes me as a person who prefer to live in imaginary world full of creativity.
Welcome to the introverts club.
Dont make to others what you wouldnt like people did to you.
Yeaaaah
Its scary

Same! It's so weird and a tiny bit scary, like you said
This is my favorite song of theirs. The lyrics are original, her voice more beautiful than a siren, and she translates emotions so efficiently with her voice, I can feel her pulling my heart in the directions she chooses.
This song is like one of her purest song they have, I made a cover:

I love the way you described his this ding makes you feel. That was beautifully ethereal. This is definitely my favorite song to run around in a wide open field with horses or dogs. Birds flying overhead ❤It’s just so freeing.
Probably one of my favorite Evanescence songs.
The Pic is absolutely one of the Most Iconic Album covers ever
I have maladaptic daydreaming disorder, along with selective mutism. This song speaks to me in lengths I cannot express. Literally hours upon hours everyday I am in my own world, even when I’m doing daily activities I am still pretending inside my head.
Oh same... 😔
I might be a year late bt I'm exactly the same.....I did however manage to translate those thoughts into music & I sampled this song.....I'll upload the final version soon.....Good to know we are not alone.....
oh my dear friends I understand you very well i have the same disorder you're not alone
Same here
Same with me but with depersonalisation/de realisation disorder :(
My most favorite Evanescence song...
Amy is such an incredible writer!!!
x2
RUclips didn't suggest this to you. You searched for it.
Of course
Facts
here i am 16 years later
absolutely
As an Introvert who also struggles with anxiety, I understand this song perfectly..
ikr
hmm..i wish u a best future Life...u struggles will make you internally strong until you reach your goal..
Its about Maladaptive daydreaming...
Same...
Same...🙄😒
I have depression, bipolar, anxiety and PTSD and I understand this song as well. It helps me cope when everything feels like it's fallen down around me
I understand you, It also happen to me trying to find calm, I have a cover:

I'm 38 and this is still a go to album for me. Evanescence equals outstanding.
This describes me so well. I’d rather live in a world of endless creation than a world of eternal stagnation
I remember, when I was a kid, my sister playing these videos out loud late at night while I tried to fall asleep on the top bunk of our bunk bed. It might sound super weird, but these videos were pretty much the closest thing to a lullaby I ever got when I was a young. Man, I feel old, listening to Evanescence again.
As a little teen, this was always my expece to another world outside my own world. The way I stand it, it felt as if I couldn't escape my pathetic lonely life for just one moment. Thankyou for the escape.
Music has always been food for the soul.
Update: I can't believe this album is 15 years old
And so are we. Damn
@Jose Gutierrez hahaha no. I just wanted to update the comment
it was release at those days that music was not a business stuff.that is why 2000s songs are masterpiece
Now 20 years old
16
Love this so much. Reminds me of when I was twelve and obsessed with evanescence. Still love them
Phan Trash same
I had all their songs in my Zune, and my parents thought they were the devil lol, they took my zune away, and deleted all my music...It makes me love Evanescence even more now that I'm 25. They're ok with it.
Same! Was obsessed with Evanescence from ages 10 to about 13. Nothing will too Fallen
For me was even harder 'cause i look like amy 😂😂
It's a good reason to get obsessed over!
The most beautiful song from Evanescence, in my opinion. Amy has the voice of fallen angel.
Violet Raven Every song is awesome. It is such an UNBEATABLE PERFECTION!
We had the same though :D
A fallen angel? Nah. A fallen angel is a demon btw.
Violet Raven so shes a Demon? Kinda Insulting
Xa no its not a demon is chimera hybrid children aka nephillum dis embodied spirits of the fa children .
"Imaginary light" is a beautifully evocative lyric.
"I lie inside myself for hours".
''kappa''
The alarm clock waking you up with the dread of going back to school that morning
@@Vlad101 it means she lied to herself within her thoughts
Qew Pew nah I think it means she's daydreaming and telling us what it looks like ect haha
no, because the context talks about this reality that she knows is out there that she is in denial about. As I finish that sentence I think we can merge both of our interpretations and get as close as I think to the original thought of hers
Someone give me a toast because this is song is my jam
XD
+Pᴏᴛᴀᴛᴏ LOL good one!
+Pᴏᴛᴀᴛᴏ HAHAHHAHA!!!!!
xD. haahahahahahah
hahaha!!!!!!
reminds me of my childhood I suffered abuse and I would get trapped inside my head I went inside to survive I'm free now so I can listen to this knowing I made it and survived this mental state good deep song I come to it from time to time to greave what I lost
I feel you
none business i feel the same; like i missed out a few years of my childhood to this illness
Same. I always interpreted this song as being about using dissociation as a coping mechanism to survive abuse. She really captures the pain of it in a beautiful and haunting way.
And I didn't even realize that I was abused..
I feel like my soul has dwarfism now, it is stunted and I can't grow it up..
I know this comment isnt important but I felt like sharing it.
As a writer, I have gotten the creative freedom to make a world that is so different from real life. Some times I wished I could even make everything I write come to life and be my reality instead of the one I live in. Its hard to live life these days and I just cant wait to go back to writing and feeling as if that was my reality.
Imaginary describes this very well❤❤
as an artist, i often escape to my drawing realm as means of coping.
...sometimes it's those whom reside in your head that treat you better than those around you, y'know? 😊🖊️
This song is so haunting. I love it. The way it's composed.... *pauses to think* It's like there's still nothing happy for her on the other side (her dreams) but whatever's there is better than what's out in the real world.... so dire.... so chilling. I love this song.
My all time favorite Evanescence song. I feel like I can relate to this song because I also built an imaginary world of my own. Reality is a nightmare sometimes, and it's good to get away. I get away by listening to Evanescence.
This is probably my favourite Evanescence song, so far... I'm just starting to get into them after all this time, but it's never too late to begin listening. I've given a few songs that I never heard before a listen and I'm enjoying them. Amy's voice is relaxing, too.
Dragon-of-The-Abyss86 How was your journey?
I was a toddler when Fallen came out and same!
My favorite is this one and tourniquet
Even 15 years later, I still love this album.
I have a tattoo that says: The goddess of imaginary light... Honestly, I regret nothing :D
When you’re proud to say this was the first album you bought on CD. Was 12/13 dyed my hair black and just wanted to be her 😍🖤
This is possibly "indie or goth"
Or emo
I've been 6 years searching for this song, thank you google
I remember when I would play this song back in high school... I would read the lyrics at the booklet while listening to this, and when the chorus comes in, the paper's color switches to purple. Yep, this song definitely spiked up my imagination. ♥ this song!
they just don't make 'em like this anymore
AMY IS FUCKING PERFECT
Agree
She really is! Amy Lee's got an awesome voice!
Angela R.R Let us not forget Troy, Jen, Will, and Tim because they're awesome, too
Angela R.R only in studio
Evanescence: my favorite band since 2007 ❤️
If you walk far enough, you will find there is a place where the heart sings. Where the eaves cast through the pillars and if you just a little bit farther You'll find it, the place where the heart has always longed to be....
Thanks for the first time I was able to connect with me, hard times, dead time, what ever needed purpose, Evanescence was there for me, it's a good song and a wonderful emotion stabilizer.
This song perfecly describes how I feel in regards to my PTSD and the dissociation I have. I would daydream and dissociate a lot due to my home life as a kid, and even today I do it to deal with the hurtful memories. But sometimes you can get lost in it. You want to get out but your brain tells you no. Now you have a new monster to escape.
Evanescence will always truly be my favorite band!
I can't believe this album is 13 years old
Crap... Now I feel old AF 😂 the album is half my age
2003
its almost as old as me lmfao
MrsG87 its 11 days older then me I believe
I just bought this album, I'm always way late to the party.
Well, they do say there is a thin line between genius and insane lol I love her lyrics because they are deep. Usually lyrics that require you to travel deep within. There's nothing surface about Evanescence. Amy Lee voice just amplifies those lyrics with emotion.
Shocked how i still remember the lyrics of most of the song even after 8years. Love this song so much
The way Amy wrote this song is beautiful, she is incredible. I'm also just creating inside my head for hours
Omg I just got this song in my head after YEARS of not hearing it. So many memories.. omg the feels. Wow ❤
I can outplay this album ALL the time and still not get bored. There's something about rock music that ISN'T boring like pop music is.
It the lyrics! They arent throw away
I'm with you on that! It's got soul, great lyrics and a little pain. "Fallen" was a brilliant record.
one of the most precious songs I've ever heard and my favourite one from Evanescence.
"I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge: the nightmare I built my own world to escape"
This song really resonates with me; Amy Lee is a beautiful woman with a positively ethereal voice, and the piano soaring strings just give her singing an even more angelic quality
Probably my favorite track off this album other than Hello...her voice matched with the violins and also that drum solo 😍😍😍 love how the song fades out.......mad love from VA
i love evanescence. her music is so deep and I feel as if I can connect
When I was young, I often listened to this song. That was my years
this song has been my inspiration since i was little. I sing this one in every talent show if i'm able to. Evanescence is truely talented.
Oh my god...this song is awesome! My ipod says it's been listened to 400 times
She is a soulful GODDESS of mystery and all magic I tell you.
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
My favorite evanescence song ever and farther away is right behind it. Gosh I love Amy
This song has a unique "flow" a strangely magnetic irresistible rhythm, listen particularly at the line beginning "In my field of paper flowers and candy clouds and lullabies..." to "over me". That's a unique flow/streaming rhythm I've never heard in any other song, pop or other.
2019 still love u
one of my favorites from evanescence, along with eternal, tourniquet, lithium, and haunted :)
I made a cover:

Eu tinha esse CD quando era adolescente.Escutava todo dia...saudades 😂😍
If you need to leave the world you live in,
Lay your head down and stay a while
Though you may not remember dreaming
Something waits for you to breathe again
THE ORIGIN VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER!!! Almost 20 years later and I don't see how anyone can disagree haha
"Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light"
everything about that small chunk of lyrics coupled with the slow melodic music behind it, is simply amazing. This is my most favourite song out of the entire Evanescence library. Second would be "Your Star" from The Open Door.
I would love for Amy to recreate another version of "Imaginary" on an album in the future, considering there has been like 5 other variations of this song on previous records. I would love to know how she will evolve this song. But then again I don't mind, it's perfect how it is.
There will be a new version of imaginary on their new album Synthesis!! It's my favorite too
I think they need to merge Tourniquet and Imaginary as they compliment one-another very well (and follow on).
Beautiful voice like silky mercury dripping down into the crevices of my soul.
i agree! i always find myself singing along to it!
I don't know why but this song always reminds me of dead people. Like they are in their graves awake with their own thoughts and just watching the purple sunset flying over them. Not creepy at all. Just very very sad.
It's quite poetic, actually.
Ma Rina I think -but don't know- that's just what she wanted to say. I don't know what lays under "In my field of paper flowers..." or "Don't say I'm out of touch, With this rampant chaos - your reality..." But you know?.. "I linger in the door way, Of alarm clock screaming, monsters calling my name, Let me stay, Where the wind will whisper to me, Where the rain drops as they are falling tell a story", specially "I lie inside myself for hours..." and "I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge, The nightmare I built my own world to escape" parts are exactly matching with your thoughts. So, imo, door way means, burial case... Screaming of alarm clock, could both be mean last seconds before death -which is has a higher chance to be- or you know, last seconds before the awakening. Callings of monsters matches with the first part, they are calling people to death. Wanting permission to stay at a place where wind whispers, and rain drops tell story: Could both mean wanting to stay alive or wanting to stay dead. "Candy clouds of lullaby, is obviously telling us times of the childhood. So, she says that she wanted to be kid again. Because you were once live in fairy tales right? No sadness, no wars, no fights, no un-humanic humans, no evils... No truth you had. Poor guy was marring with the princess? A good man was surviving against bullies? A little girl was finding a cube of gold under the rainbow? But you were happy right? Just when you started to know the truth, something happened and you grew up right? Because the truth is there is no cube of gold under the rainbow. Simmons, said in Transformers's first movie "Sometimes, you reach the bottom of the rainbow, but you see that genies laid a trap for you..." Because we do not live in fairy tales. Something real is waiting for us *which, in Origin version of this song, there is a part says "If you need to leave the world you live in..." imo is your dream world she is saying "...Lay your had down and stay a while..." says don't "Cause you may not remember dreaming" as I said, "Something waits for you to breathe again..." Which is truths!* Truths are waiting for us to leave our dream lands. "I lie inside myself for hours" Hours mean decades, thousand years... Which could be staying dead for decades... Or being alive and staying in his/herself to not to be dead which has a higher chance. "And watch my purple skies fly over me..." As you said, watching the last purple sunsets before the eternal sleep. "I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge" sleeping refuge is burial case imo. and the part that I was trying to solve -yet I think that I still couldn't solve it- for 3 years: "The nightmare I built my own world to escape" imo, again, being dead, or alive. Both, you are building a world for you, and you are trying to escape from it. Whether escaping to life, or to dead. And I believe that chorus part left open to make people to put there something from their own dream lands, souls, thoughts, lives. It specially designed to wake different emotions to different people. There should be 900 paged ten books with a name "Understanding Evanescence" and 900 paged another 10 books with a name "Understanding Amy Lee". I don't know if it's enough to understand them. And I know that no one, not even one human red it from top to here, it's a little bit sad because I gave 1 hours to write this...
Eagle The Assassin Actually I red it from the top to the bottom :P
Then thank you for caring me :)
I had yet a worst conception of death
God my sad little angsty teenage self loved this song lol
Jinx xD
My perfectly happy adult self STILL loves this song.

2019, hello. (Going to listen to Linkin Park after this. I miss Chester so so much).
I'll meet you over there lol (Happy Birthday, Chester!)
The lyrics to this song is truly amazing.
I love it when music can create certain atmosphere and mood, this is a perfect example of it. so dreamy and zany.
amazing how this song continues on from "tourniquet" :D
I'll love this song forever!
Me too, I have a cover:
ruclips.net/video/DFWRHd_YzSw/видео.html
I remember shedding tears to this as teen...what a song! Takes your depression to imaginary heights!
The comment sounds like it makes it worse which i surely doubt. It heals not hurts.
I'm nearly 70 and in love with Amy
I was telling someone the other day that she would have fit in with the 70s just fine.
That's great, I have some covers of Amy, including this one:
ruclips.net/video/DFWRHd_YzSw/видео.html

I can only live my life through daydreams
Oh how i long for the deep sleep dreaming
We can make our dreams real, well not all (we can not fly by ourselves), I made a cover:

I'm not the biggest fan of this band but i have to admit, this song is awesome
Pure escapism :-) I love this album to bits, its twelve songs are lite-goth gems.

I love this album so much. As a kid I only heard the singles and wanted to hear more of this angelic voice I wasn’t a fan of rock music at all, but this has no skips on it, front to back.
I love the rhythm of the guitar when the ends parts , so baddass!!
Uma das melhores da banda(o que é difícil decidir)rs.

(Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, paper flowers) [X2]
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they're falling, tell a story
[Chorus:]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby (flowers)
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me (flowers)
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
[Chorus]
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
[Chorus]
PAPER FLOWERS
9 years ago, one of the greatest albums ever written was released. Happy birtday Fallen!
I am righteous and i get everything i want...life is awesome!!!
"the nightmare I built my own world to escape" 💕💕💕🚨
I love Amy Lee, her voice is amazingly beautiful. And I can't get enough of her voice and music. However, there is one other person that comes really close, and she sounds almost identical to Amy Lee. And that is Mandy Sooter of Noctura. I think they would be a phenomenal duet! :)
Days when I was high... did it for 10 years. Now it’s gone and I’m on a new chapter... still listen to evanescence and gives me strength to stay away from what I was before...
I've heard it live 3 times, it's just awesome.
Essa música é M a r a v i l h o s a 😍
