    Edit: I am not sure what the true meaning behind the song may be, this is how I always perceived it. Im so happy that so many people replied, thank you for all the conversations. Bipolar and depression are not spoke about enough, thank you for shining a light into the darkness and continuing a conversation about it.
    Lithium is a medication that is given to people who suffer from major mental illness, it's used as a base medication to deal with main symptoms and then in combination with other medications. I have been on lithium for almost five years, dealing with bipolar disorder, and I can say, that the whole first year of the medication felt exactly like this song. You feel nothing, the numbness is almost more painful than the depression that's being treated.
    You never understand why so many people fail to stick with their treatment until you live that life. Once you start down that path all you want is to be free of it and to feel again.
    This song is so much deeper than anyone can understand.

    Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
    Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
    Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
    Oh, but God I wanna let it go
    Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
    Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
    Never wanted it to be so cold
    Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
    I can't hold on to me
    Wonder what's wrong with me?
    Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
    Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
    Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow, oh
    Don't wanna let it lay me down this time
    Drown my will to fly
    Here in the darkness I know myself
    Can't break free until I let it go, let me go
    Darling, I forgive you after all
    Anything is better than to be alone
    And in the end I guess I had to fall
    Always find my place among the ashes
    I can't hold on to me
    Wonder what's wrong with me?
    Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside
    Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without
    Lithium, in love with you
    Oh, I'm gonna let it go

    A música "Lithium" da banda Evanescence é uma canção sobre a luta contra a depressão e a ansiedade. A letra da música é escrita do ponto de vista de uma pessoa que está lutando contra esses problemas de saúde mental. A pessoa se sente isolada e sozinha, e está desesperada por encontrar uma maneira de se sentir melhor.
    A música começa com a pessoa descrevendo seus sentimentos de tristeza e desespero. Ela diz que está "sendo consumida por dentro" e que "se sente como se estivesse em um sonho". Ela está lutando para encontrar um significado na vida e está se sentindo perdida e sem esperança.
    A pessoa então começa a falar sobre sua relação com a medicação. Ela diz que está tomando lítio, um medicamento usado para tratar a depressão e a bipolaridade. Ela diz que o lítio está ajudando a controlar seus sintomas, mas que ainda não é o suficiente. Ela ainda se sente triste e ansiosa, e está lutando para encontrar uma maneira de se sentir feliz e realizada.
    A música termina com o eu lírico expressando seu desejo de encontrar uma maneira de se curar. Ela diz que está cansada de sofrer e que está disposta a fazer qualquer coisa para se sentir melhor. Ela está procurando por uma maneira de encontrar a paz e a felicidade.
    A música "Lithium" é uma canção comovente que fala sobre uma questão importante. Ela é uma inspiração para as pessoas que estão lutando contra a depressão e a ansiedade, e mostra que é possível encontrar a cura.
    Aqui estão alguns versos específicos da música que ilustram esses temas:
    "I'm being consumed from the inside out I feel like I'm in a dream"
    Esses versos descrevem os sentimentos de isolamento e desespero que a pessoa está experimentando. Ela se sente como se estivesse presa em um ciclo de tristeza e ansiedade.
    "I'm taking lithium It's helping me to cope But I'm not okay"
    Esses versos mostram que a pessoa está tentando encontrar ajuda, mas ainda não encontrou uma solução definitiva. O lítio está ajudando, mas ainda não é suficiente para curar sua depressão.
    "I'm tired of suffering I'm tired of being lost I'm tired of being alone"
    Esses versos expressam o desejo da pessoa de encontrar a cura. Ela está cansada de sofrer e está disposta a fazer qualquer coisa para se sentir melhor.
    Espero que tenha apreciado esta interpretação!

      Sim, é uma ótima interpretação, mas eu acrescentaria que ela está tomando Lítio, mas ele a imobiliza de certa forma de alguns sentimentos que ela não queria esquecer como é senti-los, em alguns versos da música
      Sim, essa música é muito potente para mostrar como é a luta contra uma doença mental, e, é surpreendente o alcance dela, demonstra que não estamos sós, e muitos também a tem, ao redor do globo.

      Ea letra da uma certa interpretação de que ela está usando o lítio (que é um metal muito usado em baterias devido a sua alta eficiencia no armazenamento e condução de carga elétrica) como uma especie de remédio pra tratar essa depressão, quase como se esse metal fosse uma especie de entorpecente. É uma letra que define muito bem o que a depressão pode causar numa pessoa.

    I remember being here as a 13 year old not knowing what this song meant. I was just a moody teenage fan. Here I am as a 24 year old, dealing with bipolar disorder, insomnia, trauma, brokenness and an array of other things for the past 6 almost 7 years. I wish I was back to the time when I didn’t know what this song meant or felt like. Just starting on lithium on top of my other medications. Im a danger to myself without meds but hopefully someday I can hold onto myself without help. It’s hard but we take it day by day. I believe in me. I believe in you. I believe in us that are suffering. I hope we can all find the healing that leads to stable and better days.

    My ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) Song. I laid there, unable to move, speak, or breathe for myself in the ICU. and this song and video played over and over again on the tv. I lived this song and video, as I laid there. It embodied exactly what I was going through. I felt so cold. I felt like I was drowning. screaming for help, but no one could hear me. I was unable to speak, at the time. All I could do, was exist in my very cold living hell.

    Pois nunca tinha visto algo similar antes, e tudo parece mais intenso quando você é uma criança ou um adolescente.
    Essa é minha música favorita certamente, o clipe é uma arte gótica e já tive experiência com o lítio.

    Evanescence - Lithium
    [Chorus]
    Lithium
    Don't wanna lock me up inside
    Lithium
    Don't wanna forget how it feels without
    Lithium
    I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
    [Verse 1]
    Oh
    But God, I wanna let it go
    Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
    Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
    Never wanted it to be so cold
    Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
    [Bridge]
    I can't hold on to me
    Wonder what's wrong with me
    [Chorus]
    Lithium
    Don't wanna lock me up inside
    Lithium
    Don't wanna forget how it feels without
    Lithium
    I wanna stay in love with my sorrow
    [Verse 2]
    Don't wanna let it lay me down this time
    Drown my will to fly
    Here in the darkness I know myself
    Can't break free until I let it go
    Let me go
    Darling, I forgive you after all
    Anything is better than to be alone
    And in the end I guess I had to fall
    Always find my place among the ashes

    I was sexually abused as a little boy, by someone who shouldn’t have, my teacher. I blamed myself, my mom, the school. Why didn't anyone come to help, stop it, no one cared. It has bothered me all my life. I did get some therapy, but I still fight to deal with it. at 44, I remember it like yesterday, i was 10. It wasn't until Evanescence came on the scene, their music gave me calm, a place I could go and think, detach from my guilty and self destructive behavior to deal with my shame and abuse, the blame i told myself, it was my fault. But leaning into my Christian faith and this song, their music has given me much strength and purpose. I am doing better, but the battle continues.
    Thank you Evanescence.

      The thing is, this song could have been in Fallen's repertoire, but I can't conceive of this song within Fallen, its structure is more in line with TOD's sounds, since Fallen always had a more gothic atmosphere, while TOD transmitted more personal feelings. And it was a thousand times more poetic. And more symphonic. Lithium is a song that has to be handled with poetic feelings and more metallic sounds.

    Hey MD / resident psychiatrist here. Whenever I prescribe lithium to one of my bipolar patients I think of this song. It really is not only a beautiful and chilling song/video but the lyrics beautifully summarize what patients often experience from lithium: emotional blunting. Sadly many psychiatric medicines work this way. And sadly, lithium is still the best treatment for preventing both bipolar depression and mania that we have ever discovered. While emotional blunting/anhedonia can be dreadful, the utter, devastating destruction that mania leaves in its wake can make a persons life even worse sometimes. Like anything it is a cost benefit thing and depends on the patient. Take care and rock on 🤘

    Lithium is a mood stabilizer used for depression and bipolar disorder. It should take away the sorrow that the writer holds inside but she is not ready to let go of it. Lithium doing this by suppress feelings, puts her in a "cage" against which she resists.
    She has lived with sorrow so long that losing it now would be like losing a part of herself. That is what the whole refrain is about: "Lithium, Don't want to lock myself up inside, Lithium, Don't want to forget what it feels without, Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow." It's about her inner feelings and she's fighting with her deamons. Lee's lyrics are often metaphorical and the words consist of double meanings.

      Actually after lithium is stabilized in the body it makes you numb. You don't feel. You exist. At least she could feel the depression and sorrow - she could feel something before lithium.

    Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
    Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
    Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
    Oh, but God, I want to let it go.
    Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone.
    Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.
    Never wanted it to be so cold.
    Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.
    I can't hold on to me,
    Wonder what's wrong with me.
    Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
    Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
    Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
    Don't want to let it lay me down this time.
    Drown my will to fly.
    Here in the darkness I know myself.
    Can't break free until I let it go.
    Let me go.
    Darling, I forgive you... After all,
    Anything is better than to be alone.
    And in the end I guess I had to fall.
    Always find my place among the ashes.
    I can't hold on to me,
    Wonder what's wrong with me.
    Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
    Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...
    Lithium, ...stay in love with you.
    I'm gonna let it go.

Don't encourage people to stop their ACTUAL treatment with medicine that ACTUALLY works, bipolar is 90% genetic and is a cronic disease that cannot be cured, we can be stable but need medicine like lithium to reach that stability. That is science and scientific evidence and beats "I know a person yadda yadda". This is so irresponsible...

      @@JakeLo1991 Listening to happy music isn't going to take away the root problem of why you feel bad. Acting happy isn't going to fix you either. Evanescence helped me through my darkest periods in the past. While everyone around me was happy, she was the one who made me feel understood and made me feel like I wasn't alone. I was disgusted of happy music when I was in a dark period. Happy music is great when you're in the mood for it. "Depressing" music is great when you're in the mood for depressing music. Luckily there's so many different songs and singers, for everyone and every mood there's a type of favourite music. (Edit: I don't think Evanescence is depressing, I think it's powerful)

It's her singing them in most cases, so what I said still applies without an editor. I said they were so flawless that they SOUND auto-tuned (even) with no effects. I think you got confused because I left off the 'even', which is my fault. Also, saying "her voice is an instrument unto itself" was my overtly poetic way of saying "how her voice merge(s) with the instruments".
