The song is about a person who dreams of and cannot stop thinking about their lost love. Even though they try not to, images and memories of their past relationship take over their thoughts. They believe in their love so much that they would give up everything just to be reunited with and live with their love again, as their love is consuming their entire being.

1. EVANESCENCE LYRICS
"Taking Over Me"
You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do...
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Have you forgotten all I know
And all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live, to breathe
You're taking over me
Taking over me
You're taking over me
Taking over me
Taking over me
