Lyrics to a Song

One of my most favorite rock bands is Evanescence and I decided to look at their song “ Call ME When You’re Sober”. It is a really interesting and energetic song. I like the raw emotion that Amy Lee the lead singer of the bad emits as she talks about the woes of having a boyfriend that had an alcohol problem. Amy Lee used to date the lead singer from the band Seether . She even collaborated on a song with him for the soundtrack for the Punisher. The song that they did together was called “ Broken”. In the song “ Call Me When You’re Sober” , Lee tells he listeners how hard it was to be with a person with the type of addiction that he had. She goes back and forth with her mixed feelings toward the situation “ Should I let you fall ? Lose it all ? So maybe you can remember yourself.” Her ex-boyfriend had turned into someone totally different and she thinks that perhaps if she let him learn the hard way, he will come back to his senses. She in another verse comes to see that he is trying to blame all of his troubles on everyone else instead of himself. /’ Couldn’t take the blame, sick with shame, must be exhausting to lose your own game, selfishly hated ,no wonder your jaded, you can’t play the victim this time, and you’re too late. All this was due to a drinking problem which plagues hundreds of other people in the world. This is why the song was such a hiy. Other people can relate to the feelings that Amy Lee was sharing in her song.
