What is the true meaning behind the lyrics to Evanescence's new song Lithium? I LOVE the song but i'm a little confused with it's meaning... Also what is the history of the band? Like who's in it and who's quit etc... THANKS

GLAMOROUS replied: "Lithium is an antidepressant"

♥ Renee + Tahj Mowry ♥ replied: "Sadly,I don't have a clue what she is talking about,but I LOVE THAT SONG!"

John P replied: "I am pretty sure it's about switching to a more efficient rechargable battery. Seriously though, after reading the lyrics (and not having heard the song) I would say it's about medication or being bipolar. lithium carbonate Function: noun : a crystalline salt Li2CO3 used in the glass and ceramic industries and in medicine especially in the treatment of bipolar disorder"

fre212eve . replied: "They define Lithium as; the substance in its carbonate or citrate form used in the treatment or prophylaxis of bipolar disorder or mania. they also define it as a soft, silver-white metallic element, the lightest of all metals So i am pretty sure she is talking about the first definition as a drug or something."

Sue B replied: "It's a frantically depressing cry for going to sleep where nothing can bother her, things she doesn't have control over, things alcohol can't touch, Lithium is a mood elevator for Schizophrenia. Eventually the patient begins rhythmically shuffling their feet with no knowledge they are doing it, nor the ability to stop, they are just gonzo. It's a song of despair born of mental illness."

Elrond Nolatari replied: "Basically, the song is about her wanting to let go, but being afraid. She sings 'don't wanna forget how it feels without lithium, oh but god, i wanna let it go'. I have interpreted this as she wants to let go of her past, but she is afraid to come out of her comfort zone. Currently in the band are; Amy Lee - Vocals/piano/songwriter John LeCompt - Guitar Rocky Gray - Drums Tim McCord - Bass Terry Balsamo - Guitar/songwriter. Ben Moody, former guitar player left because of creative differences and William Boyd, former bassist, left to become a porn star. Hope that helped ;)"

pinkpanthersgirl replied: "Lithium is a psychiatric drug used as a mood stabilizer, often prescribed to people with bipolar disorder and/or mood swings, along with other mood disorders. Amy: "It's not literal, it's not literal about the drug for me, I've never taken lithium before. It's sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it's me looking at happiness in a negative way because I've always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it's always like I'm never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it's not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it's like saying 'that's numbness, I won't be able to be an artist anymore if I'm happy,' which is hilarious because that's just not true, I'm happy. So it's like this fight within the song of like 'do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do i wallow in it like I always do?' and it's cool because at the end of the song I say 'I'm going to let it go,' like I am going to be happy." From this link, there's information about everything Evanescence. "

kitzie f replied: "She wrote the lyrics when she was sixteen. It's about being in love with your sorrow, yet hating it at the same time."

In Evanescence's song 'Lithium', what do the lyrics 'Just didn't drink enough to say you love me' mean? Heres an extract from the lyrics - what do the underlined ones mean??? Thanks. PS: i know that lithium is a drug to treat depression and bipolar etc. 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. haha, it didn't show which i underlined. never mind. 'Just didn't drink enough to say you love me' is what i meant. thanks

gymnastics replied: "the lyrics " just don't drink enough to say you love me" mean that the person will be drunk before they say hey love someone."

biziguy replied: "May sound kiddish, but from what I percieve, it means that the singer is saying: "You would have confessed that you love me; had you drank enough, and I am longing to hear that""

Goodnevili replied: "Some people (i.e. men) have to be drunk in order to tap into their emotions, when they have let the alcohol reduce their inhibitions they can admit what they feel. But as the effects of alcohol are only temporary and mutable (changeable) having someone say that they love you only when they are drunk is not the same as them telling you they love you when they are sober."

Random Bloke replied: "Lithium is the premier drug used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, a very serious mental illness that puts massive strains on relationships (and has a 20%+ suicide risk, incidentally). The violent moods changes of a bipolar sufferer will often drive a partner away ("Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show"). Sometimes, it is only possible to communicate when drink has lowered the barriers enough. All IMHO, of course. But I am also bipolar (and I used to drink myself to oblivion befofre I was diagnosed and got proper treatment). Incidentally, bipolars often miss the highs of mania big time (me too), and there is something warm and comforting about wrapping yourself up in a cloak of depression. It is a safe place. "don't want to forget how it feels without Lithium" "I want to stay in love with my sorrow" Those two lines really hit me hard."

Mandi replied: "I could be wrong but i relate it to Amy's relationship with Shaun and his alchohol problem. Think Call Me When You're Sober, "you never call me when you're sober" "just didn't drink enough to say you love me". It sems to say that it's only when he's intoxicated that he gives a rats bottom about her."

Silver* Rose Wolf replied: "Lithium is also a drug ~ a 'mood stabilizer' The Evanescence song is about the sort of feeling this drug induces, though not about the drug itself..."

mark_sutcliffe replied: "Its also a drug. See the wiki article attached."

I Refuse! replied: "Lithium is also the medicine that they give to bipolar people."

carcinogen.crushes replied: "Lithium is an element that is also used as mood stabilizing drug in the treatment of bipolar disorder and mania. It increases serotonin synthesis in the brain."

barack rocks! replied: "Lithium is an element used in antidepressant medications. So probably the songs are about depression."

Erin replied: "Lithium salts were used during the 19th century to treat gout. Lithium salts such as lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium citrate, and lithium orotate are mood stabilizers. They are used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, since unlike most other mood altering drugs, they counteract both mania and depression. Lithium can also be used to augment other antidepressant drugs. It is also sometimes prescribed as a preventive treatment for migraine disease and cluster headaches. "Lithium" by Nirvana "Lithium" is representative of the musical style Nirvana had developed during work on Nevermind, alternating between quiet and loud sections.[8] During the choruses, Cobain adds distortion to his guitar while he sings variations on the word "yeah". After the second chorus, the band plays a bridge section where Cobain sings several lines that end with the lyrics "I'm not gonna crack". After a brief bass interlude, the band ends the song with third verse, chorus, and bridge section. Nirvana biographer Michael Azerrad described the song's title as a reference to Karl Marx's statement that religion is the "opiate of the masses".[9] Cobain said the song is about a man who, after the death of his girlfriend, turns to religion "as a last resort to keep himself alive. To keep him from suicide".[10] While Cobain said the narrative of "Lithium" was fictional, he said, "I did infuse some of my personal experiences, like breaking up with girlfriends and having bad relationships".[11] Cobain acknowledged that the song was possibly inspired in part by the time he spent living with his friend Jesse Reed and his born-again Christian parents. He explained to Azerrad, "I've always felt that some people should have religion in their lives [. . .] That's fine. If it's going to save someone, it's okay. And the person in ['Lithium'] needed it."[9] "Lithium" by Evanescence In an interview with MTV Italy Amy Lee says: “ It's not literal, it's not literal about the drug for me, I've never taken lithium before. It's sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it's me looking at happiness in a negative way because I've always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it's always like I'm never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it's not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it's like saying 'that's numbness, I won't be able to be an artist anymore if I'm happy', which is hilarious because that's just not true, I'm happy. So it's like this fight within the song of like 'do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do I wallow in it like I always do?' and it's cool because at the end of the song I say 'I'm going to let it go', like I am going to be happy. ” —Amy Lee, MTV Italy[2] Lee previously stated in an interview with VH1 that she wrote the chorus on the guitar when she was about 16, later filling in the verses while writing The Open Door.[3] Despite the many references to letting go of depression and darkness in the lyrics, lithium carbonate is typically used as a mood stabilizer to prevent acute manic episodes in bipolar disorder."

Nimrod409 replied: "When I first heard Lithium I thought he was saying "i'm not gonna cry" but most of the lyric sites I've looked at say it's "i'm not gonna crack", so I guess that's what it is. I don't know if there's any proof of that though."

what does this song mean ? Bruce Lash - lithium song link >> lyrics link >> copy & paste links .

Snograt replied: "According to Wikipedia, it "...tells the story of a man who finds religion as a last resort after the death of his girlfriend.""

What do you think these song lyrics mean? An official meaning would be nice if there is one, but if not speculation is fine. If anyone needs an MP3 it can be found here: The song is Carbon by Tori Amos. carbon made found her at the end of a chain "time to race" she said "race the downhill" behind crystalline irises loons can drive where the world bleeds white just keep your eyes on her keep don't look away keep your eyes on her horizon bear claw free fall a gunner's view black and blue shred in ribbons of lithium blow by blow her mind cut in sheets layers deep now unravelling just keep your eyes on her. get me neil on the line no i can't hold have him read "snow glass apples" where nothing is what it seems "little sis you must crack this" he says to me "you must go in again carbon made only wants to be unmade" blade to ice it's double diamond time and keep your eyes on her on her eyes on her horizon Jesus guys, if you don't know then just don't say anything. >_< Don't say, I don't know.
