Song lyrics
Stoplight lock the door
Don't look back
Undress in the dark
And hide from you
All of you

You'll never know the way your words have haunted me
I can't believe you'd ask these things of me (ever and ever)
You don't know me (ever and ever)
Now and ever

You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love
'cause all I want is you

Wake up in a dream
Frozen fear
All your hands on me
I can't scream
I can't scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me
I feel you in my dreams and I don't sleep (ever and ever)
I don't sleep (ever and ever)

You belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love
'cause all I want is you

I can't save your life
Though nothing I bleed for is more tormenting
I'm losing my mind
And you just stand there and stare as my world divides

Say you belong to me
My snow white queen
There's nowhere to run
So let's just get it over
Soon I know you'll see
You're just like me
Don't scream anymore my love
'cause all I want is you

all I want is you
all I want is you
all I want is you
(Forever and ever, ever and ever)

Actually, I agree with Vanillasky. When I read the lyrics, I thought it was about a child/woman being abused by her father/husband/who ever. That interpetation of the song really hit me, I love it. Just now I read that the song is about a stalker of Amy's, well I dunno, I still absolutely love the song, but it changed the way I think of it (well, duhuh). I prefer the way I interpetated it, but eay, I guess Amy's way of meaning is the most important (H). And about Amy being gay/bi, whatever she says or all you peepz will say, I still doubt the fact that she is a 100 % straight. I'm a lesbian myself and sometimes I reconigze recognizethe things the sings. Even though that isn't a great proof, I still think she could be gay .

Evanescence fucking rocks!

This song IS written about Amy's experience with a stalker, whether you choose to see it that way is your decision and yours alone, as all music is intended to be experience by the listener, letting them feel it and create an image within their own mind, letting them believe what they may as everyone 'sees' things differently. It is NOT about Amy being 'gay' or 'bi'. As for 'having an open mind' as stated above, I do, I am an writer of my own style as it is, but I happen to see the intention of this song as it was intended by Amy. The stalker had apparently referred to her as 'Snow White', the 'Queen' being added after how the attention made her feel in a way. I personally like this song. Have any of you ever had a stalker? It is a frightfully memorable thing, But think as you will, as is the nature of individuality,

Contrary to what everyone else seems to think I didn't like this song that much. It was pretty boring when you got to the middle and the end of the song...and I just hate that. I also don't really like all the synthesizers being used in their new album either.

The last poster is right, she wrote it about her stalker. She her self said that. But it's creative to have your own interpretation of a song. =)

she herself said it was about a stalker. you may see it differently, but she wrote the song and she knows better.

no one said there was anything wrong with being gay...which she's not, btw

ok, i must ask about the gay comments. why would it be so horrible if she was gay. you all deny she is gay as if it was an insult. open your minds a little. i think the song could be about either one of the two opinions. but when you close your mind about peoples' lifestyles simply to make them more appealing it becomes a little ignorant. so please keep an open mind and think about all the options before deciding.

I agree with aware, as soon as I heard the song I thought of someone with a spilt personality, with the chorus being when they face their other self. One part being dominate over the other, but the other trying to stand up for themselves.
However this may not be the real point/meaning of the song I like to think it is.

Child:

lock the door
undress in the dark
hide from you

your words have haunted me
you'd ask these things of me

Wake up in a dream
frozen fear
all your hands on me
I can't scream

I can't escape the twisted way you think of me

Abuser:

You belong to me
my snow white queen
there's nowhere to run, so lets just get it over
soon I know you'll see
you're just like me
don't scream anymore my love, cause all I want is you

actually i believe that this song is about a person, whos has a split of personality, bright one and dark one. and it's like that depressed man sings to light "u belong to me my snow white queen"... I love the part when Amy sings "and u just stand there and stare as my world divines"....
absolutely amazing song

Amy Lee is not gay! You have to look at the lyrics a different way, she's really talking about herself!

I love this song. It's so true to the bands sound. Kudos to Amy for taking on a tricky subject to write a song about too.

Lalala26, Amy is not gay or bi, or anything of the sort.

This song is about her being stalked by a crazed fan. She had to stay in a hotel and was instructed not to leave because this man was a danger to her. She couldn't even go home.

In this song, she writes in her point of view (I can't escape the twisted way you think of me//I don't sleep) and the stalker's point of view (You belong to me, my Snow White Queen//So let's get it over). It's like the listener is stepping into the world of the stalker and the stalkee at the same time. It's a little scary.

Hope this clears it up, if not, let me know

BTW, BEST LINE IN TOD "I can't escape the twisted way you think of me"

In refernce to the last post, the lyrics that probably have you confussed are "You belong to me my snowwhite queen theres nowhere to run so lets just it over etc" she is taken on the role of the stalker.... that's my interpretation anyway...
