Bring me to life by Evanescence(music video)

Description
Amy Lee became inspired to write the song after an incident that occurred while she was sitting in a restaurant.
“ I was inspired to write it when someone said something to me — I didn’t know him, and I thought he might be clairvoyant," says Lee from a tour stop in Tulsa. "I was in a relationship and I was completely unhappy. But I was hiding it. I was being completely abused and I was trying to cover it up; I wouldn’t even admit it to myself. So then I had spoken maybe 10 or 15 words to this guy, who was a friend of a friend. We were waiting for everyone else to show up, and we went into a restaurant and got a table. And he looked at me and said, ‘Are you happy?’ And I felt my heart leap, and I was like, he totally knows what I’m thinking. And I lied, I said I was fine. Anyway, he’s not really clairvoyant. But he is a sociology major." ”

—Amy Lee, The Boston Phoenix[1]

Lee has also stated the previous in an VH1 interview:
“

VH1: What's the song about ("Bring Me to Life")?
Lee: Open-mindedness. It's about waking up to all the things you've been missing for so long. One day someone said something that made my heart race for a second and I realized that for months I'd been numb, just going through the motions of life.
”

—Amy Lee, VH1 News[2]

In an interview titled "Amy Lee: Back In Black", she said she wrote "Bring Me To Life" about her long time friend Josh, to whom she is now married.[3]

The song initially topped Christian rock charts, partly because its lyrics were (and are still often) misinterpreted as a call for new life in Jesus Christ (the lyrics use some decidedly Bible-like imagery).[4][5] The misconception of the lyrics led John Tesh to cover the single for his worship album A Deeper Faith II.
