when i was around 13, i enjoyed this song without analyzing the lyrics. now that i am 20, i realized this perfectly describes the society we lived in. everyone's fake.
Wow chewy, you are completely true, I said in my comment that morality is the 2nd biggest lie we all tell ourselves. U r 100% correct, everyone is fake when they make themselves or anyone else perfect, this includes bfs or gfs
The worst thing about losing your best friend is not the fact the he/she dislikes you now. It's the fact that they probably have never liked you and all these years it was all a lie.
Interesting to see everyone's different thoughts on the song, personally, I see it as a reflection on realizing one's own hypocrisy. How do you deal with the guilt? What do you do about the image you made for yourself other people's eyes? Can you mend the broken relationships you've created? To me, it raises those questions, and simply says "I won't be you anymore". Even though, it's as if none of us can leave behind our faults. We are everybody's fool.
It reminds me of a group of "friends" my sister once had. All good fun and happiness untill my sister got depressed because of medications she had to take because she suddenly got epilepsy. When she suddenly wasn't her happy self anymore and needed someone to talk to or a shoulder to lean on they all scattered off and ran. It even got to a point where she tried to kill herself with pills. Luckily this was years ago, and now she has better medications (ones that don't cause depression), new friends, some of which are always there for her. I am greatfull for my big sis that she taught me so many lifelessons, like this one. This song always makes me think back of that time.
"I know the truth now. I know who you are; and I don't love you anymore" That lyric is incredibly powerful; and it's how I feel about my father. This song describes my relationship with him, sadly.
I'm really sorry to hear that, I think a child's relationship with their father is one of the most pivotal relationships, it's part of the reason why so many people in the more recent generations have so many problems: because their fathers didn't step up into the role they were supposed to be
after all this was placed in the fallen album i think. Some of Evanescence's songs do revolve about a toxic relationship with someone(e.g. Bring me back to life, going under)
A few days ago something happened between me and my father. He wouldn't look at me or say anything he also unfriended me on my social medias. It hurt me so bad. I'm only 17 years old and I have to go through something I never thought I would have to go through.
Every time i hear this song, it reminds me of the man that molested me when I was little. I came to speak out a year after it happened and all the people who said they would love and protect me if something like that happened, all turned on me and took his side. Even the court took his side and I suffer from ptsd every day while he lives without a scratch. He really was everybody's fool...
I hope you're doing okay. I hope he gets what he deserves. May God give you strength. Many hugs. May you go on to be successful in life. Love you very much.
that's is mess up i'm sorry you had go through that, i hope get better now and those is not friends or even family didn't take your side , your find some real friend or family one day :)
I think we all know somebody like this in our lives. Somebody that acts like they're perfect and you can see right through it but it's like nobody else can. I've known several of these types. The bad thing is when a friend is dating a type like that and no matter how much you try to tell them they're not this perfect person they pretend to be they refuse to see it until they end up hurt. In some cases they still see the person as perfect in every way and refuse to give up on them even though they've moved on to their next victim.
I agree with you. But I also have a different interpretation. I could make a story out of this. You see a guy/girl and you fall for him/her. She/He seems so perfect. For a while, you date that person. But then, he does this not because he/she loves you, but to use you. When you see his way of doing things are different, you start getting suspicious. Then one day, he/she betrayed you simply by not helping you with something you desperately need to do, or he/she kept breaking promises, or whatever. You ponder on this after Mass one Sunday. Suddenly, the pieces became a whole image. So you go to his/her house the next day and tell that person it's over. The End. What I'm trying to say here is that there are people who are wolves in sheep's clothing. They would pretend to like you or be nice, but it's the opposite. So we shouldn't be gullible people. I'm glad my mom told me about this. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know this.
yeah my "Best Friend" hates me all of a sudden and ill tell you why: One day on the first day of school my friend and i were on our way to homeroom when we saw this guy who was really cute and found out he was in our class so we got to know him but then a few weeks later he asked me out an i said yes but when she found out we were going out she told me to break up with him because she liked him so we got into an argument because it was then i got sick and tired of her controlling my life and so she started tormenting me and bullying me and cursing me out and telling me to die and then it started to spread and it got to the point where i was jumped in a parking lot and was knocked unconscious and then she started to hack my twitter and facebook accounts and i got cyber bullied to the point where I almost killed my self and she was with me since 3rd grade what a friend she is
Aslı Say Oooooh, "Hello" is a great Song as well. You've just gotta listen to "Tourniquet", the Album version. It's amazing! Needless to say, the both of Us have great taste when it comes to Music. ^_^
I love this song so much. It really describes a lot about our social standards now. People always assume that you have to be perfect to fit in. This isn't as strict in common life as it is for celebrities though, if you notice that everyone pounces on every little mistake ever made by any famous person. The truth is, that everyone is going to make a horrible mistake, and there's nothing that can be done about it. Putting up a 'perfect' front and creating that standard for everyone just makes it that much more difficult for people. I really enjoy this song and it always makes me so sad. (In a good way sad, though)
Well, the song (Everybody's Fool) is an eye-opener, because no matter how many celebrities we have in this world, little did we know that they have their own lives known only to themselves. It's also a song which can be something against false advertising, stereotypical discrimination shown in the media and in real life, even criminal acts considered to be discriminative and offending to natural law and rights, especially in the religions across the globe. Yes, everyone makes mistakes, even celebrities make mistakes, for no one is really perfect. Rambling? Honestly, I understand. Sometimes I felt that our world is lost to illusion over all the stereotypical standards.
"Look here she comes now. Bow down and stare in wonder. Oh how we love you. No flaws when you're pretending. But now I know she, Never was and never will be. You don't know how you've betrayed me. And somehow you've got everybody fooled. Without the mask where will you hide? Can't find yourself, lost in your lie. I know the truth now. I know who you are. And I don't love you anymore".. Hit deep. Can't wait to learn this on guitar.
"and in the wake of her devastation, she left many to pick up the pieces." - a good friend. "no one can be born hating, its a lesson you're taught" - another good friend
I've seen a lot of people's "analysis" of this song, and to me it's acknowledging your own flaws and finally accepting that it's okay to not be perfect and what it feels like when you finally let your perfect image break and fall
As someone who has gained increasing popularity in my space, this song feels heavier and heavier each time I listen to it. I'm not a liar, and I don't pretend to be something I'm not. But people look at me. They think I'm perfect. They think I've got it all figured out. They praise me endlessly. "You're so pretty." "How are you so perfect?" "I wish I could be like you." The endless praises feel so empty because I know none of what is said is true. I know that I'm not perfect. I don't have it all figured out. As a matter of fact, I feel so behind in my life. I have thousands of fans that think I can do no wrong, but I wish they could just see me for the *real* person that I am. For the normal, flawed mess of a person that I am. I haven't listened to this song in years. It has such a new and intense meaning now.
this song, for me, is about myself... the mask I put on in front of my family and everybody around me, the smile and laugh I do when I am hurting... the help I need but haven't asked for... that's what this song is for me... a reminder that even though I have "everybody fooled" I am not/can not fool myself.
This screams covert narcissism! I've been listening to this song since middle-school and now I know exactly who I relate this to the most. It's intriguing how you can listen to a song and not really know what it means to you until years later.
Serenity Rayne actually, when I heard this song as a teen, I figured out how it related to my father and his glaring narcissism. This song was the first song I read between the lines with to find its inner meaning. This song means the world to me because of that moment. I agree with you, though - music changes meaning as one ages.
I start crying whenever I listen to Amy's songs. My life is utter sh*t right now. I'm stressed out from all my schoolwork to try and bring my grades up so I can get into a really good school, 2 people in my family died in the same month in part of the year that's supposed to be happy fun time, I'm talking about summer vacation, and the stress has drug me to the point where I sneak all nighters just to get this dam schoolwork over with and get rid of this stress. I keep getting depressed very VERY easily, and I keep having thoughts about just killing myself and not having to go through this sh*t life I'm going through right now. And I don't wanna hear any 'I'm so sorry for you' comments. I don't care what other people say, I know that they're just trying to comfort me even though they don't understand the crap I'm going through right now.
Her Voice is very Beautiful and your completely right noone will understand exactly what your going through, Stay strong, I'm sure your nice And you deserved to be blessed and will be in the long run. God never gives you trials that you can't Handle. Please forgive me if I'm intruding on your comment, I've just had similar feelings as you. Not the same by any means and like I said I have no clue what your going through, but I have a strong faith in everyone and I try to believe in everyone even if I have never met them. Keep going and believe in yourself, smile and don't be depressed, good things come to those who wait ! (:
Hey I know u don't want to hear the "im sorry or I know what u feel like" comments but I suffer from bipolar disorder and it is terrible that u need to bring grades up and have to pull all nighters to do so but trust me when I say it gets better, because it does
this song is very charming! i dont have any upsetting memories to attach to it, but i remember my aunt blasting evanescence while she did her makeup. i was like. four. good times! good memories!! love this song
I officially dedicate this song to my stupid former best friend who ditched me to become perfect, and to be practically worshipped by the rest of the school, and left me alone with no other friends. So thanks for that. Maybe someday all your "friends" will realize how fake you are and they'll ditch you, too.
I love this song so much and Amy’s voice is phenomena. I played this song for my high school class once and everyone laughed or was uninterested. Though I was very hurt and embarrassed, this song’s true meaning was more powerful than anything.
I apply this song to myself, as I fought with who I pretended to be, this is what my inner-self sounded like fighting back. Apply the lyrics with that in mind and it really explains that part of my life rather perfectly. I definitely find this song as a song about a persons inner struggle with themselves.
"Everybody's Fool" Perfect by nature. Icons of self-indulgence. Just what we all need, More lies about a world that... ...never was and never will be. Have you no shame? Don't you see me? You know you've got everybody fooled. Look, here she comes now. Bow down and stare in wonder. Oh, how we love you. No flaws when you're pretending. But now I know she... ...never was and never will be. You don't know how you've betrayed me. And somehow you've got everybody fooled. Without the mask, where will you hide? Can't find yourself lost in your lie. I know the truth now, I know who you are, And I don't love you anymore. It never was and never will be. You don't know how you've betrayed me. And somehow you've got everybody fooled. never was and never will be. You're not real and you can't save me. Somehow now you're everybody's fool.
i don't think it's about bullying. ..i think it's about depression and how you pretend to be fine but in reality you're far from it and how no one really notices because you put up a good show...
La Depressione a volte è una conseguenza del bullismo.. nel video si vedono delle ragazze ridere di lei, in quanto trasandata. Questo video e questa canzone rispecchiano la realtà dei nostri giorni.
Lol I love how everybody has these weird interpretations about this song even though Amy herself said it was written for her sister who was idolizing celebrities like Christina Aquilera and Britney Spears.
@@cravenmorehead7366 Exactly. Where some personalize it and find themselves being the 'me' or 'I' in this, others might just say 'Oh, she just wrote it about her sister." Which is actually cool because I knew she had another sister, another song she wrote called HELLO, but I didn't know there was a second sister. Interestingly deep yet vague enough lyrics to have individuals who listen, and actually listen to the lyrics, be able to gather their own individual feelings on the song. The meaning of the song can vary from person to person and from one type of person to another. That's one part of the beauty of Evanescence and similar bands.
Ok, everyone with shitty friend and shitty family and a shitty life, it does get better. I once thought it would be easier for myself and everyone around me if I could just disappear into the woodwork, but I was wrong. People love you, and you deserve that love. People want to be friends with you, and you deserve friends. If people are shitty to you, find other people. Just get through this, and it will get better.
''I know the truth now. I know who you are... and I don't love you anymore!'' THIS IS POWERFUL! Oh Amy, you give your soul to every letter and every note sounded in your song. You play very well like strings of your heart. I love it!
This is song about my "schoolmate". She is the best in class and she thinks she's goddess or something "perfect by nature". When she enters, we really all "stare in wonder", but I know who she is and she is ZERO! I met her earlier and guys, she thinks only about herself! She will offer help only if she can show you how is she clever and great, but I know something she doesn't. That's Evanescence band, playing guitar and painting! I know how to dream! I guess in few months she'll become everybody's fool. Just had to write this.
U have no idea what other people have goin on ingheir life even if she is maybe she's just waiting for one person to show her that everyone is not the same.... Maybe u should open up to here or she's really just a fuck
That is creepy. once i came on my PC to listen to a Nightcored version of "Let it Go" and the video was right there in one of my Google+ notifications... weird ;/
This song popped up on my Tiktok FYP today, and I'm listening to it again for the first time in years. It hits VERY different now & I'm having some very big feelings about it with relation to autism and masking
I love how everyone sees this song so differently. Personally, I see it as it tells the story of somebody, going through life, hiding away all the pain and suffering behind a fake smile.
What pisses me off about this story is not so much the antagonist, but the fact that so many people are being so easily fooled by that person. Annoying how most people just refuse to look deeper, like somebody's true self is just out there on display and not their actions, but their words and appearance actually portray them. That's shallow, naive and stupid. Why not blame the sheep as equally as the wolf?
I think everybody should be a good healthy level of a skeptic, no matter their past experiences. For me is more about having a basic common sense, than just being overly suspicious.
+EmmaBruhzz I don't think that's what she's saying, I think he point is that everyone should get a second chance, no matter what their past is, and that regardless, they should be forgiven.
I always loved the lyrics from Evanescence. Unlike most songs, it has meaning and emotion. Reading their lyrics is almost as good as actually listening to the song
People say that Hollywood Undead best fits CreepyPasta cause it talks about killing, blood, guts extra but I say Evanescence fits it more. Both bands are dark and rock yes, but the songs that Evanescence sings like "Everybody's Fool, Bring me to Life, Imaginary, Disappear, extra" they all fit them no matter what there story is about. Hollywood Undead only fit some of the CreepyPastas but not all like Evanescence!
this is the first sing i heard from evanescence when it first hit MTV, i was still a little one. i sang it at recess with such power and i still sing it now stronger cause i understood what it meant for me as the years passed, but man does this song hit the heart.
I just went to their concert in Bulgaria yesterday and now I am in love with this group. Better later than never. Amy Lee gave everything on that concert... Amazing
i know! i seriously don't understand at all when someone says they don't like evanescence. it's just...it's so amazing i don't understand how someone wouldn't like it!
This song reminds me of...well, me... I always act happy and cool at school, even tho on da inside I'm completely worn down and crying... Its almost exactly like a mask, and I've worn it for so long that I cant remember who I am/was anymore...: /
LYRICS: Perfect by nature. Icons of self-indulgence. Just what we all need. More lies about a world that never was and never will be. Have you no shame? Don't you see me? You know you got everybody fooled. Look here she comes now. Bow down and stare in wonder. Oh how we love you. No flaws when you're pretending. But now I know she never was and never will be you don't know how you betrayed me and somehow you got everybody fooled. Without the mask where will you hide? Can't find yourself. Lost in your lie. I know the truth now. I know who you are. And I don't love you anymore! It never was and never will be. You don't know how you betrayed me. And somehow you've got everybody fooled. Never was and never will be. You're not real and you can't save me. And somehow now you're everybody's fool.
Ahh I remember when I used to listen to these songs all day long... Then I stopped, and it made me realize that I was thinking to much of these songs. Like,"Wow, this describes real life." It made me mad and sad and hate the world. And then I grew up, and I don't really care about things like that anymore. Everything that is, is just what it *is*. Nothing more nothing less. At least that's how I look at it.
My own interpretation that this is someone who is pretending to be perfect, someone who is not herself(/himself) because of her own insecurities. Everybody who gets to know that person, gets to also like that person.. but it's all really just a mask that they like. A mask of what she should be, a mask of imperfection, flawless being, that is hurting inside and is too scared to show its true nature. Ironically, by pretending to be someone else, not only is she fooling others but mostly herself. It's nice to read other interpretations, though.

Her voice honestly gives me chills. She has such control of every single note she sings.
Yeah. I'd love to be able to sing like her
She's one of those rare artists that sounds just as good live as the finessed studio versions, if not better live. Amy Lee doesn't need Auto Tune.
It's because she originally went to school for opera !
She's like hell's Angels singing

You're right, you're right. We live in a society.
@abbied I understood the comment perfectly.
@abbied Don't take it so seriously, I just made a joke a little hard to understand.
@abbied Like I said, don't take it so seriously.
The worst thing about losing your best friend is not the fact the he/she dislikes you now.
It's the fact that they probably have never liked you and all these years it was all a lie.
Depends on how you lose them. They could say/think the same about you but that doesn't make it true.
One of my best "friends" stayed friends with me JUST TO PLAY MIND GAMES she couldn't play without getting close.
This song is about herself though
@@cinematicaddict6863 wow... that's deep

Very interesting. Also matches the music video where she's the one making up her own image
+Fullmetal Jedi chese cake
Fullmetal Jedi Amy wrote it for her sister. Due to the women she was idolize in the industry. Who were all these fake people per say
'You don't know how you've betrayed me' The sentence of every friendship I've ever had.
that is why I try not to make friends they find someone else and Bam you're alone
if you find real friends then they won't betray you. don't be scared to try.
accurate
Jakau I fully understand that 100%
It reminds me of a group of "friends" my sister once had. All good fun and happiness untill my sister got depressed because of medications she had to take because she suddenly got epilepsy.

It’s how I feel regarding my birthgiver
I’m so sorry
"No flaws when you're pretending" I love this. it's so accurate!

yes and its mostly the girls that base their lives on magazines and all that its really annoying to
yeah my "Best Friend" hates me all of a sudden and ill tell you why:
One day on the first day of school my friend and i were on our way to homeroom when we saw this guy who was really cute and found out he was in our class so we got to know him but then a few weeks later he asked me out an i said yes but when she found out we were going out she told me to break up with him because she liked him so we got into an argument because it was then i got sick and tired of her controlling my life and so she started tormenting me and bullying me and cursing me out and telling me to die and then it started to spread and it got to the point where i was jumped in a parking lot and was knocked unconscious and then she started to hack my twitter and facebook accounts and i got cyber bullied to the point where I almost killed my self and she was with me since 3rd grade
what a friend she is
well i hope it gets better and dang people just are so self centered and too jealous they want to be happy but dont care about your happiness
If you watch the video, you'd understand this is about a hatred for yourself. She's battling herself throughout the video.
She speaks of a narcissistic human being. They are truly troubling because of how easy they fit into our society today. What a world....
Exectly what i feel!!!
@GloriousTapeworm Calm down child.
@GloriousTapeworm lol ur a sad weird person
@GloriousTapeworm get help dude. you sound so sad and lonely and self destructive. im starting to actually feel bad for you...
@GloriousTapeworm :( How do you happily look in the mirror?
My ABSOLUTE favorite Evanescence Song! Pure, unadulterated awesomeness.
This, and "Tourniquet"; Absolutely AWESOME and Evanescence's BEST. ^_^

I like all songs...... but i think her version of sallys song is best
“you don’t know how you betrayed me”
“i don’t love you anymore”
these song lyrics are fire
👌

Don't mind me, just rambling stupidly.
I was saying I rambled because I didn't know if I was getting out what I meant properly. You basically summed up what I was trying to say. :)
Well, the song (Everybody's Fool) is an eye-opener, because no matter how many celebrities we have in this world, little did we know that they have their own lives known only to themselves.

Sometimes I felt that our world is lost to illusion over all the stereotypical standards.
Fitting in is out.
I think this has a deeper meaning than just making mistakes
"Look here she comes now.
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh how we love you.
No flaws when you're pretending.
But now I know she,
Never was and never will be.
You don't know how you've betrayed me.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie.
I know the truth now.
I know who you are.
And I don't love you anymore".. Hit deep. Can't wait to learn this on guitar.
I wonder how rare it is to find a girl that sings like Amy that likes this type of music.

Rare, but not impossible.
I know one of those people my bf says I look like her and sing like her and she's my hero
Good for you, then :)

I love how evanescence can put songs out there with such truth and honesty. Their just so real... Indeed, an genuine band is rare.

As someone who has gained increasing popularity in my space, this song feels heavier and heavier each time I listen to it. I'm not a liar, and I don't pretend to be something I'm not. But people look at me. They think I'm perfect. They think I've got it all figured out. They praise me endlessly. "You're so pretty." "How are you so perfect?" "I wish I could be like you." The endless praises feel so empty because I know none of what is said is true. I know that I'm not perfect. I don't have it all figured out. As a matter of fact, I feel so behind in my life.
I have thousands of fans that think I can do no wrong, but I wish they could just see me for the *real* person that I am. For the normal, flawed mess of a person that I am.
I haven't listened to this song in years. It has such a new and intense meaning now.
Evanescence ROCKS
Such an AMAZING BAND!!!
2022 and still rocking her music! ❤️
First heard this when I was 14, now I’m 27 and listening to it again after years..brings back memories
Same here
this song, for me, is about myself... the mask I put on in front of my family and everybody around me, the smile and laugh I do when I am hurting... the help I need but haven't asked for... that's what this song is for me... a reminder that even though I have "everybody fooled" I am not/can not fool myself.
katluver09 I feel you. I know I need help, but I don’t go get it because I know I’m somehow going to end up blamed for it and get in trouble
It cuts deeper when people are ok with you feeling like that because they are happier that way
wow so many people had shitty friends
yeah
and here we are just listening to some great mood music.
The exact reason I have no friends because everyone I know has a go f**k yourself mood
Everyone had those shitty friends sometime!So did I!
🤣🤣💀
This screams covert narcissism! I've been listening to this song since middle-school and now I know exactly who I relate this to the most. It's intriguing how you can listen to a song and not really know what it means to you until years later.
That is so true

Serenity Rayne actually, when I heard this song as a teen, I figured out how it related to my father and his glaring narcissism. This song was the first song I read between the lines with to find its inner meaning. This song means the world to me because of that moment. I agree with you, though - music changes meaning as one ages.
Omg exactly mú thoughts when I was dealing with my narc. This song is a theme song for narcissists.
I can relate to this song in so many ways
agreed
Maggie Quinn yep
Maggie Quinn yep same
Me too.
Me too
This and my immortal are my fave songs of her

I start crying whenever I listen to Amy's songs. My life is utter sh*t right now. I'm stressed out from all my schoolwork to try and bring my grades up so I can get into a really good school, 2 people in my family died in the same month in part of the year that's supposed to be happy fun time, I'm talking about summer vacation, and the stress has drug me to the point where I sneak all nighters just to get this dam schoolwork over with and get rid of this stress. I keep getting depressed very VERY easily, and I keep having thoughts about just killing myself and not having to go through this sh*t life I'm going through right now.
And I don't wanna hear any 'I'm so sorry for you' comments. I don't care what other people say, I know that they're just trying to comfort me even though they don't understand the crap I'm going through right now.
Her Voice is very Beautiful and your completely right noone will understand exactly what your going through, Stay strong, I'm sure your nice And you deserved to be blessed and will be in the long run. God never gives you trials that you can't Handle. Please forgive me if I'm intruding on your comment, I've just had similar feelings as you. Not the same by any means and like I said I have no clue what your going through, but I have a strong faith in everyone and I try to believe in everyone even if I have never met them. Keep going and believe in yourself, smile and don't be depressed, good things come to those who wait ! (:
Hey I know u don't want to hear the "im sorry or I know what u feel like" comments but I suffer from bipolar disorder and it is terrible that u need to bring grades up and have to pull all nighters to do so but trust me when I say it gets better, because it does
That kid Across The Street make others happy and you will be happy yourself
this song is very charming! i dont have any upsetting memories to attach to it, but i remember my aunt blasting evanescence while she did her makeup. i was like. four. good times! good memories!! love this song
I officially dedicate this song to my stupid former best friend who ditched me to become perfect, and to be practically worshipped by the rest of the school, and left me alone with no other friends. So thanks for that. Maybe someday all your "friends" will realize how fake you are and they'll ditch you, too.
comes around goes around
I feel your pain ❤️
i feel your pain. ive been friends with my best friend for 3 years, and i feel like she may be taking the same path...
Here is a hug for anyone who needs it
Hi
I love this song so much and Amy’s voice is phenomena. I played this song for my high school class once and everyone laughed or was uninterested. Though I was very hurt and embarrassed, this song’s true meaning was more powerful than anything.
They should be embarrassed for not having a good music taste!🔥
LMAO JUST LIKE IN THE CLIP SOME SPOILED WOMEN WERE LAUGHING AT AMY JDJSJDJDJSHSDSDHSGSHDSSGSSGSSDGHSVDWGEYWHDGSHS
I apply this song to myself, as I fought with who I pretended to be, this is what my inner-self sounded like fighting back. Apply the lyrics with that in mind and it really explains that part of my life rather perfectly. I definitely find this song as a song about a persons inner struggle with themselves.
"Everybody's Fool"
Perfect by nature.
Icons of self-indulgence.
Just what we all need,
More lies about a world that...
...never was and never will be.
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled.
Look, here she comes now.
Bow down and stare in wonder.
Oh, how we love you.
No flaws when you're pretending.
But now I know she...
...never was and never will be.
You don't know how you've betrayed me.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lie.
I know the truth now,
I know who you are,
And I don't love you anymore.
It never was and never will be.
You don't know how you've betrayed me.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.
never was and never will be.
You're not real and you can't save me.
Somehow now you're everybody's fool.
Beautiful Woman
Excelent Band
Precious Voice
I love this song
🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
*Can everyone just stop being deep for a second and just SIMPLY ENJOY THE SONG*
i don't think it's about bullying. ..i think it's about depression and how you pretend to be fine but in reality you're far from it and how no one really notices because you put up a good show...
La Depressione a volte è una conseguenza del bullismo.. nel video si vedono delle ragazze ridere di lei, in quanto trasandata. Questo video e questa canzone rispecchiano la realtà dei nostri giorni.
I interpret it as a song that when someone you care about shows their true colors
Lol I love how everybody has these weird interpretations about this song even though Amy herself said it was written for her sister who was idolizing celebrities like Christina Aquilera and Britney Spears.
That's the great thing about music you the listener can interpret it however you like.
@@cravenmorehead7366 Exactly. Where some personalize it and find themselves being the 'me' or 'I' in this, others might just say 'Oh, she just wrote it about her sister." Which is actually cool because I knew she had another sister, another song she wrote called HELLO, but I didn't know there was a second sister. Interestingly deep yet vague enough lyrics to have individuals who listen, and actually listen to the lyrics, be able to gather their own individual feelings on the song. The meaning of the song can vary from person to person and from one type of person to another. That's one part of the beauty of Evanescence and similar bands.
"I know the truth now, I know who you are, and I don't love you aymore" The lyrics still hit years later...
Anyone still listening in 2019?
Yes
No shit... I'm here right now am I?
.....
Yes
yes
Yay it seems I'm not alone
Yup
Ok, everyone with shitty friend and shitty family and a shitty life, it does get better. I once thought it would be easier for myself and everyone around me if I could just disappear into the woodwork, but I was wrong. People love you, and you deserve that love. People want to be friends with you, and you deserve friends. If people are shitty to you, find other people. Just get through this, and it will get better.
totally agree with you😊
thanks so much! :)
thanks buddy
I really needed this today, thank you!
Oh my poor sweet summer child....
''I know the truth now. I know who you are... and I don't love you anymore!'' THIS IS POWERFUL! Oh Amy, you give your soul to every letter and every note sounded in your song. You play very well like strings of your heart. I love it!
**cries in black eyeliner**
This is song about my "schoolmate". She is the best in class and she thinks she's goddess or something "perfect by nature". When she enters, we really all "stare in wonder", but I know who she is and she is ZERO! I met her earlier and guys, she thinks only about herself! She will offer help only if she can show you how is she clever and great, but I know something she doesn't. That's Evanescence band, playing guitar and painting! I know how to dream! I guess in few months she'll become everybody's fool. Just had to write this.
I know a girl like that i brought her to her senses tho we ended up friends in the end some how I end up friends with everyone tho
That's not what the song is about, it's about Christina Aguilera, Amy wrote it after hearing her sister, listening to and singing a song by Christina.
@@MrParkerman6 i don't think you'd know what personal interpretation was if it punched you in the ballsack, be it nonexistent or otherwise
U have no idea what other people have goin on ingheir life even if she is maybe she's just waiting for one person to show her that everyone is not the same.... Maybe u should open up to here or she's really just a fuck
RUclips is reading my mind. I wanted to hear this song, so I went to youtube, and there it was on the front page. Creepy.
WE. KNOW. YOU. BETTER.
GOOGLE+
Shit that's scary!
That is creepy. once i came on my PC to listen to a Nightcored version of "Let it Go" and the video was right there in one of my Google+ notifications... weird ;/
***** I think Google catch your preferences, in other words you have no privacy :)
That shit happens to me ALLLLLLL THE TIME! :-/ Yeah it's REAL CREEPY! ......."mommy?!!!" 8-O
LMFAO! FR' tho!!! What's up with that?!
"Your not real and *you cant save me* "
Damn that hit hard...
This is directed to a mythical something something ,that is said to be the reason of my existence!
I guess you really only get what you believe in
Still listening to this...
Oooh Evanescence songs always hits home... ;_;
Love Evanescence, this song ❤❤ AND the lyrics.. Ugh so relatable
this song represents me in my past how I would act like something I wasn't to be accepted by people.
have you no shame ? Don't you see me!? goddamn touching
Evanescence’s best song!
Her voice is just magnificent
GOD the neon glow lyrics are soo early 2010s it’s almost as nostalgic as the song itself
"I know the truth now. I know who you are. And I don't love you anymore" OUCH! I love this song, so relevant to my life right now!
I love how she puts meaning into songs like this
It's crazy how she can sound so pissed off during the entire song
Penumbra-Tormento(video) is what you need Pupper Gump. Hope you like the song
well explains things in my life currently
Hey William you okay?
@@imwatchingonyoutube5024 *quietly* no
as minhas tbm
I love this song.
This song popped up on my Tiktok FYP today, and I'm listening to it again for the first time in years. It hits VERY different now & I'm having some very big feelings about it with relation to autism and masking
This song is so true! Someone may look perfect on the outside, but they may have troubles that they keep hidden.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would like to dedicate this song to my bullies and haters :)
omg right
same here
yessssssss
I would sing this at the voice kids
Lazuriite same I still have marks cause of my bullies
I looooove this music!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of people know me, but no one knows ME.
You're Jacob moore. There, I know you!
+jacob moore I know you ur my BAE (date me plz)
Colleen blake Thirsty BITCH.....
Same
I do not understand this song
I like this song a lot. and the music video. Evanescene is a fav😐
This brings back bad and hurtful memories from my old school. I cry when I hear this song
I love how everyone sees this song so differently. Personally, I see it as it tells the story of somebody, going through life, hiding away all the pain and suffering behind a fake smile.
So much meaning behind one beautiful song...
This song fits so much with Amber Turd

My all time Favorite song ever!!! Perfect by nature!!! Everybody’s fool But really who is everybody? That don’t matter if they don’t support you!!🤟🏻💋🖤
My favorite Evanscence song!!!
her voice gives me goosebumps!
Perfect description of my relationship with a particular girl. Word for word, not one is even slightly off.
I have been listening to Evanescence since I was 11 years old, and honestly I believe this is their best song of all time.
I'll love this song forever, it has been my favourite song for so many years
What pisses me off about this story is not so much the antagonist, but the fact that so many people are being so easily fooled by that person. Annoying how most people just refuse to look deeper, like somebody's true self is just out there on display and not their actions, but their words and appearance actually portray them. That's shallow, naive and stupid. Why not blame the sheep as equally as the wolf?
Because sometimes the sheep just are more willing to see the 'good' in people. The most suspicious ones are the people who have already been hurt.
I think everybody should be a good healthy level of a skeptic, no matter their past experiences. For me is more about having a basic common sense, than just being overly suspicious.
+iridescentraindrops I must say I agree with you that no matter what, look deeper into the person, and see who they truly are
+iridescentraindrops so basically.. are you saying words speak louder than actions?
+EmmaBruhzz I don't think that's what she's saying, I think he point is that everyone should get a second chance, no matter what their past is, and that regardless, they should be forgiven.
I always loved the lyrics from Evanescence. Unlike most songs, it has meaning and emotion. Reading their lyrics is almost as good as actually listening to the song
+Captain America truth .. how did you become a fan of the band !!!!!
I hear it all the time I cry when I hear it😢😢😢😢
This video was tastefully done. Simple is better. It's perfect. Thanks for conveying the lyrics for us. This song is a metaphor for my life right now.
You know it’s a good song when it gives you goosebumps !
People say that Hollywood Undead best fits CreepyPasta cause it talks about killing, blood, guts extra but I say Evanescence fits it more. Both bands are dark and rock yes, but the songs that Evanescence sings like "Everybody's Fool, Bring me to Life, Imaginary, Disappear, extra" they all fit them no matter what there story is about. Hollywood Undead only fit some of the CreepyPastas but not all like Evanescence!
this is the first sing i heard from evanescence when it first hit MTV, i was still a little one. i sang it at recess with such power and i still sing it now stronger cause i understood what it meant for me as the years passed, but man does this song hit the heart.
I just went to their concert in Bulgaria yesterday and now I am in love with this group. Better later than never. Amy Lee gave everything on that concert... Amazing
if anyone ever insults evanescence around me, i completely go off on them. I just can't help it.
Look, first off, ignore my username, yes I LOVE metal but how in the fuck could anyone not like Evanescence?
i know! i seriously don't understand at all when someone says they don't like evanescence. it's just...it's so amazing i don't understand how someone wouldn't like it!
Evanescence sucks #yolo
you're hilarious
R. Meitzen That's your opinion. Other people might like it. You are just another hater that nobody cares about. Get a life.
This song reminds me of...well, me... I always act happy and cool at school, even tho on da inside I'm completely worn down and crying... Its almost exactly like a mask, and I've worn it for so long that I cant remember who I am/was anymore...: /
I feel like u...believe me..i am here if u need help,ok? :)

Evanescene ❤
Ahh I remember when I used to listen to these songs all day long... Then I stopped, and it made me realize that I was thinking to much of these songs. Like,"Wow, this describes real life." It made me mad and sad and hate the world. And then I grew up, and I don't really care about things like that anymore. Everything that is, is just what it *is*. Nothing more nothing less. At least that's how I look at it.
I feel all these lyrics
I miss music like that 🥲
She has the most amazing voice.
I seriously love her voice 😍
2003-2016.... i am still here
Ralf Hsl 2019 still here lmao
2020 👍👍
2003_2020 and keep going
My own interpretation that this is someone who is pretending to be perfect, someone who is not herself(/himself) because of her own insecurities. Everybody who gets to know that person, gets to also like that person.. but it's all really just a mask that they like. A mask of what she should be, a mask of imperfection, flawless being, that is hurting inside and is too scared to show its true nature. Ironically, by pretending to be someone else, not only is she fooling others but mostly herself.
It's nice to read other interpretations, though.
thisss
2019 and this band is still awesome I remember getting into them when I was a kid the 1st "goth" band I ever got into
Hmm I felt this to the core.😔😒
makes me go into my deepest powerful part of my mind and helps me through hard times. like someone i know dying or suicide thoughts
When the sentence said "You don't know how you betrayed me" I was like
Mari singing this finding out Adrian being the new hawk moth...
