We are just three weeks away from Evanescence finally releasing The Bitter Truth, their first studio album of all-new music in ten years, and have another new track from it, with their passionate new single “Better Without You.”

 

 

As Amy Lee told Rock Sound, this single is all about growing up and realizing adult life isn’t a fairytale after all.

“As the lyrics had started to form, and just my feeling in this moment in general, there’s a big theme of disillusionment for me,” Lee says. “Just growing up and seeing that fairy tales aren’t really real. And it’s hard to be a grownup, it really is. Because somebody else isn’t in charge, we really have to be able to make our own decisions, find out our own information [and] protect ourselves.”

For Lee, “Better Without You” ultimately tackles the choices we make each day and how they impact us in the long run.

“People die, we’re all going to,” she continues. “There’s no magic castle. So that sounds like a lot of doom and gloom when I say it, but there’s a choice to accept that truth and live in it and embrace it, choose to live, choose to live in a moment and the choice to just give up. And there’s a struggle there, but my choice is most definitely to take that pill.”
