Evanescences Lithium - Meaning, Lyrics, Video: youtu.be/PJGpsL_XYQI Amy Lee describes the song as a song which embraces feeling over numbness. During an interview with VH1, Lee said, “I wrote the chorus on the guitar when I was about 16. I always thought it was a cool chorus, but I never used it for anything. I started playing it on the piano and the verses came out. I have a pile of pieces stowed away in my mind that maybe Ill use some day. In a way its an old song, but not really. It grew up.” In another interview with MTV Italy, Lee said, “Its not literal, its not literal about the drug for me, Ive never taken lithium before. Its sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, its me looking at happiness in a negative way because Ive always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, its always like Im never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because its not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, its like saying thats numbness, I wont be able to be an artist anymore if Im happy, which is hilarious because thats just not true, Im happy. So its 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 its cool because at the end of the song I say Im going to let it go, like I am going to be happy.” The drug itself, lithium carbonate, is typically used as a mood stabilizer to prevent acute manic behavior in patients with bipolar disorder.
