"Snow White Queen" is the sixth track on the second album, The Open Door.
One of the first songs written for The Open Door, "Snow White Queen" was inspired after Lee had an experience with a stalker. Lee stated, "My privacy had been completely invaded and there were a couple of nights where I couldn't stay at my house. So I wrote a song about it through the eyes of the stalker, and with my perspective, too." The verses are from Amy's perspective and the choruses are the stalker's. She stated in other interview that she was forced to sleep in a hotel and undress in the dark because she didn't know if she was being watched. Entertainment Weekly's Jon Dolan found similarities between the song and Tori Amos' "Me and a Gun". It uses several industrial beats into its composition.
The song title was taken from Lee's username Snow White on EvBoard, EvThreads and EvClub, official forums that are no longer active.
Amy sings her lowest note in this song during the line:
The instrumental loop in the background is a much slower, pitched dropped version of the instrumental loop from "Even in Death", a song from their 2000 demo album, Origin.

27 set 2006 · I believe snow white queen is about Amy's former mamanger who sexually assulted her, and was physically abusive toward her. "You'll never know the way, your words have haunted me, I can't believe you'd ask these things of me, you don't know me." and "Wake up in a dream, frozen fear, all your hands on me, I can't scream.
15 gen 2024 · Full Lyrics. Evanescence’s ‘Snow White Queen,’ from their sophomore album, ‘The Open Door,’ is a quintessentially haunting melody intertwined with obscurely beautiful lyrics that evoke a sense of creeping darkness and intimate dread.
The lyrics express someone who is willing to go to extreme lengths just to avoid their partner’s gaze and influence. The Snow White Queen metaphor serves as a stark reminder of the protagonist’s innocence being tainted and corrupted by the toxic relationship.
