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. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/evanescence/lithium.html ]
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, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, but I'm gonna let it go
I agree with goth girl. The song is about losing the comfort of sorrow. I also think that she uses "lithium" to describe a cage. (i think)
Anyway.. This is definently one of her best songs in my opinion.

Lithium is in anti-depressants. She is depressed but she wants to leane, but she doesn't want to lose the familiar comfort of her lithium. A damned if i do damned if i don't moment if their ever was one. I love evanescence! My new middle name is evanescence!
Lithium is used in anti-depressants and is used to stabilize moods. She is singing about how she wants to live in her world of sadness, but, wants to leave it at the same time. It is similar to being in love with a person and torn between the two.
First, great song. Second, lithium is a drug, and a chemical component! I know it is a drug, because i take it. It can come in different 3 pills:lithium, lithium carbonate, and lithium carbonate er. (er means extended release)
it is used as a mood stabalizer, and an anti-depressant. Are we clear now?
I hope people know that its kinda annoying whenpeople argue about what lithium is.its a metal and a drug used 4 medication! God! Im not tring 2 insult any1. Peace and lol smileyz face!
Lithium is a drug/medication used by ppl with a mental illness to stabalize their mood, abit like an anti-depressant, with a side effect being not having a real sense of feeling or emotions - no joy or pain..
