"My Heart Is Broken", the new video from EVANESCENCE, can be seen here. The clip was filmed on December 1 in Los Angeles with director Dean Karr, who has previously worked with IRON MAIDEN, OZZY OSBOURNE and MARILYN MANSON, among others.
EVANESCENCE singer Amy Lee explained to MTV News that she drew inspiration for "My Heart Is Broken" from the 1988 British fantasy/horror film "Paperhouse", which stuck with her since she first saw it as a teen.
"[It's about] this girl, and everything that she would draw would come to life in her dreams, and she was creating this dream world for herself. And at first, it was cool, but then it's like this nightmare," she said. "So I sort of thought it would apply, and be cool, to have it be this dream that you're trapped in. So you're in a place that, at first, is a magical world, but at the same time, you're isolated and trapped there, and that's the reason you want to come back to reality after a time.
"We're playing with fiber optics, and so it's basically like I'm drawing the world around me from nothingness, and when I draw things with my hands, it's like they actually come to life," she continued. "So it's a lot of fun with creating this surreal dream world, and the guys' performance is sort of like the dream within the dream, in an abyss of darkness; it's very cool."
