Bring Me to Life was inspired by vocalist Amy Lees relationship with her then boyfriend and now husband, Josh Hartzler. It was the first song written by the band with a more personal sense, also marking the first collaboration with an external artist, vocalist Paul McCoy of the band 12 Stones. Amy Lee commented that the lyrics talk about waking up to the things that truly matter in life, representing a kind of rebirth.
How can you see into My eyes like open doors Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save Me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the Nothing I've become Now that I know what I'm without Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save Me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the Nothing I've become Bring me to life Bring me to life Frozen inside without You touch without Your love darling only You are the life among The dead Wake me up inside Wake me up inside Call my name and save Me from the dark Bid my blood to run Before I come undone Save me from the Nothing I've become Bring me to life Bring me to life
