Swimming Home

This ethereal electronic track closes Evanescence's third album and completes a trilogy of sea-themed songs following "Never Go Back" and "Oceans." Frontwoman Amy Lee explained its meaning to Kerrang! magazine: "It's goodbye," she said. "It's partly about the acceptance of death. I love that song because it's not angry and it's not perfectly happy. It's sad but it's accepting the things in life that are hard - like someone leaving this world and feeling the peace of crossing over." She continued: "I've been through plenty of loss in my life. A big part of my early childhood was loss and understanding death and I think that this is me expressing that in a beautiful way. That's a part of life and it's okay."

In our interview with Amy Lee, she cited this as one of her favorite Evanescence songs. "It's broad," she said. "You can apply it to so many specific situations, but I was literally just living in a dream world and singing about how on the deepest inside."

According to Lee, this song evokes another famous diminutive diva. "It's definitely got some Björk to it," she said.
