Evanescence have released a video for their new track Imperfection.
It will appear on the band’s upcoming album Synthesis which will feature reworkings of some of their best-loved songs, with Imperfection one of two new tracks included. The follow-up to Evanescence’s self-titled 2011 record will launch on November 17 and is now available for pre-order.
Vocalist Amy Lee said: “For me, this is the most important song on the album. I struggled with the lyrics for a long time because there was a lifetime of work to live up to and I wasn’t sure what to say or how to be good enough.
“When it finally started pouring out of me, it was undeniable. I had no choice. It’s for all the people we’ve lost, all the people who we could lose, to suicide and depression.”
Lee revealed she sings from the perspective of “the person left behind, the person in the waiting room” and adds: “It’s a plea to fight for your life, to stay. Don’t give into the fear – I have to tell myself that every day.
“Nobody is perfect. We are all imperfect and it’s precisely those imperfections that make us who we are and we have to embrace them because there’s so much beauty in those differences. Life is worth fighting for. You are worth fighting for.”
