Difficult Evanescence Quiz | 10 Questions | Music

Answer: Going Under

Although it's the last song recorded for THIS album, there is a first original 'Fallen' with same play list and order as the 2003 released 'Fallen', and 'Going Under' is the song that sounds the closest between the two albums. The other songs have different lyrics, or completely different openings.

Answer: Ben Moody

Amy Lee has hinted that the song is about Ben Moody, which is interesting considering that they BOTH wrote the song. I'm guessing Amy wasn't communicating that she was writing a song about an abusive boyfriend, that was about HIM, with him.

Answer: Britney Spears

Amy has spoken several times about Britney being a fake, and "Everybody's Fool" is about the person beneath the surface of celebrity. What is ironic is that Britney Spears was in the room when they editing the "Everybody's Fool" music video and went on to steal the idea of the mirror and bathtub scenes in her own music video, not knowing she was stealing a concept built around insulting her.

This info was taken from an Evanescence biography DVD in which Amy says she had a talk with her little sister about the phonies of the biz, especially Britney Spears, and didn't want her to end up stripping on TV, and so 'Everybody's Fool'. It continues on to say she wrote it about Britney Spears, mainly, and other tragedies of the teen pop-star business.

Answer: "Missing", "Farther Away", "Breathe No More"

The cutting of these songs by Wind-Up records was against the band's wishes.

The Ev board on imdb.com reports that these were cut.

Answer: Going Under

"Bring Me to Life" was written about her husband Josh Hartzler, "Call Me When You're Sober" was written about Shaun Morgan of Seether, and "My Immortal" was a poem that former band mate Ben Moody wrote.

On lyricinterpretations.com, their interview with Amy Lee includes her explanation of the meanings on the songs on 'The Open Door'.

Answer: 'Lithium', 'Like You', 'Good Enough'

You would think that the powerfully written song, "Call Me When You're Sober", was written only by Amy Lee, considering it was about her ex-boyfriend, but Terry Balsamo also wrote the song. Maybe he really didn't like the guy, either.
No, Amy Lee wrote "Lithium" when she was 16 on the guitar, and "Like You" about the trauma of her sister's death when they were children.

This is taken from the CD's credits.

Answer: Snow White Queen

Amy Lee has had some unfortunate situations with stalkers. The chorus is written about her from the perspective of the stalker, about having possession of Amy Lee, and the verses and bridge is from her point of view about being scared and feeling violated.
"Haunted" is about a story Ben Moody wrote about a girl being trapped in a house full of ghosts,
"The Only One" was written by Amy Lee when she was a teenager and she felt everyone was hypocritical and lost,
and "Weight of the World" Amy wrote about the pressure of the fans.
