About This Track

'Origin' by Evanescence is a 2000 track from the album 'Origin'. The lyrics move from whispered warning to screams, pressing the listener to stay awake, stay silent, and confront a fear that takes the form of death, framed as something hideous. A tape recording motif sits in the background, while the voice insists that the answer is kept inside the mind, not offered from outside. The overall tone is urgent and coercive, like a message delivered under pressure: don’t close your eyes.

"Origin" is a track by Evanescence, from the album Origin, released 4th November 2000. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Evanescence.

Lyrics

Origin

[Whispers]

I'm sure it's getting darker, don't close your eyes

Don't make a sound, don't make a sound

[Screams]

[Recording tape]

You hold the answer deep within your own mind

Death in its most hideous form
