I love Amy Lee as a lyricist and, for lack of a better term, a "title'er" of songs and albums. But there are a few things I would change if I was Amy Lee. First I would rename the song "My Heart Is Broken" to "Sweet Sleep, My Dark Angel". And secondly I would have named the self titled album "Oceans".
Your turn

This game sounds fun!
I'd wanna re-title Origin as Shadows.

"Call Me When You're Sober" as a title annoyed the hell out of me when it first came out. I think "If You Loved Me" would've been better. Especially since CMWYS is...telling the subject call her but the song is very much saying "please don't call me ever again".

^It's such a sassy title and feels completely different than the rest of Ev's song titles. XD "If You Loved Me" is a nice option.
I think the only song title I'd want to change is "Bleed." I always thought "I Must Be Dreaming" would be more fitting. I also think there could be a better-fitting name for "Eternal," but I have no idea what I'd call it either. XD

Kind of like "When pigs fly" or "Hell freezes over".

CMWYS also annoyed me too, it could have been called something else, even just "With Me" would have been better. I love the idea of Ev3 being called Oceans, and its possible it might have been if they hadn't decided on self titling it.
I would rename The Change to "Need You Anyway".

I wasn't fond of CMWYS's title when it first came out but I love it now, it's quite unique. I think Ev is the only artist to have that title, if they had just used "Sober" then they would be just another artist with that song title.

Bring Me to Life should be retitled Wake Me Up Inside

I concur. I was exactly the same when it first came out, but I really like it now. It's a very Evanescency title. A lot of bands that have come before or since have a very typically Evanescence like melodrama to them, but one of the things that really sets Evanescence apart is the almost funky groove and borderline 'sassiness' to a lot of their songs and indeed their song titles (The Last Song I'm Wasting On You, is another example). It's something that really shouldn't work, but just sort of fits in Evanescence's case. It always makes me laugh when people assume Evanescence is a 'goth' band and then they hear CMWYS and it confuses the hell out of them. The song title, the lyrical themes and the groove are so un 'metal' or 'gothic' and yet it's actually quite a heavy song without being a "my life is over, darkness and despair" or "destroy everything" kind of thing. CMWYS is yet another example of Evanescence defying categorisation and I think that's why it's such a good title.

I think Sick should have been Sick of it All. I would change a lot of the song titles in Ev3 but I don't know what.

I like the name 'Erase This'. When I first saw it, I thought it was a working title that had been left in there for a little bit of tongue in cheek irony. Almost as if the one song they planned to keep on the final record was the song titled in such a way as to suggest they should bin it. It was one of the few songs on that record that I really didn't know what to expect before I heard it. Love that sort of mysterious element/ambiguity in song titles sometimes.

I love how "sad song #1390" applies to every track 4 song of every Ev record, ever.
