Evanescence has ended up pretending to abide by the unfair rules of the hot new song, “The Game is Over”, her latest single from her upcoming album, The bitter truth.
“I had enough time to kneel, I had enough denial already,” sings Amy Lee to open the song, which captures the frustration of abiding by someone else’s rules in a game that apparently can’t be won, while seeking the strength to walk away. “When all the hate burns / I stay here with the pain,” he sings in the chorus. “Make me something I believe in / Change me so I don’t have to pretend / Sweet words, they don’t mean anything / They aren’t true because the game is over.”
“This song is about being fed up with the facade. The costumes we wear to make others feel comfortable, the inner feelings are so different from what we show on the outside to fit within the limits of what is socially acceptable, or what will not make you unpleasant or too ” I miss “to be around,” Lee said in a statement. “‘The Game is Over’ is a promise to myself and out loud that I will be more of my real self and inner being on the outside, not locking her up because I already it cannot be contained. It is also a prayer to improve, so as not to feel so disordered, locked up and hurt inside “.
The bitter truth It will be Evanescence’s first original studio album in nine years, coming this fall. They previously released the lead single “Wasted on You”; Production of the song was completed remotely while the band was quarantined, and the music video shows band members filming in isolation.
In 2017, the band released Synthesis, with instrumental reworkings of older tracks, including his song “Bring Me to Life”.
