I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
(So much more)
I lay dying and I'm pouring
Crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying (dying),
Praying (praying),
Bleeding (bleeding),
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation!
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation!
Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/evanescence/tourniquet.html ]
I'm dying (dying),
Praying (praying),
Bleeding (bleeding),
And screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation!
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation!
(Return to me salvation...)
(I want to die! )
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation!
My God, my tourniquet
Return to me salvation!
My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance.
Will I be denied?
Christ, tourniquet, my suicide.
I love this song because it's about supressing pain but she can no longer hold it and she cries for help from christ... It's really great... Awesome... Great song, great music, and great artist

This song repressents me so much. It's my favourite song of all. I think it's about a person that wants to change her life. Suicide repressents the bit of the person they want to kill and that the person wants to start again. They are even praying suggesting that they are christian. To me it means they want to start a new life and be forgiven of all that she done wrong and kill her old life. Well thats my opinion
Okay hostilityisdiehard what you are saying is wrong because you don't know they meaning of the word "tourniquet" what she means by tourniquet is that she wants god to wrap her wounds. A tourniquet is used to wrap around a wound so thus saying "god wrap my wounds in your love. "
*hatch974... No, hear the words. "return to me salvation" - "return to me salvation" - "return to my salvation". The 'thoughts' (of suicide) are there, god is the tourniquet that keeps 'her' from suicide. (in my opinion) **if i told you that this was killing me, would you stop? **
Ok i'm evanescence's biggest fan!!! No lie!!! And this song is awesome!!! It's so powerful and amy lee is my role model!!! She's so freakin awesome!!! I luve her!!! Anyway, i just bought their cd called "fallen" its amazing!! Every evanescence fan should own it!
It's (in my opinion) about a girl that committed suicide and is regretting it on the other side. She wants to know if it's too late for her to be saved, even though she's already dead. Or dying. Take your pick.
I disagree with scene queen. It goes much deeper than that. I think when she's saying "my god, my tourniquet" she's calling her tourniquet her god. She's an adict. By making herself intoxicated she forgot her pain or atleast eased it but by doing so she caused more problems and had to deal with always wanting the drug and now regrets whats she's done. She wants to find her way and doesn't know how. It's about letting things get so bad that you want to die and you can't seem to find your way through the pain.
