| Evanescence – Lithium Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
To me, this song is much more than a ''metaphor for a realationship gone bad''. It represents the strugle with an illness (BPD). I am a bipolar musician. Before i was diagnosed and medicated, I would be easily inspired to write songs. Ever since I've been taken lithium, I feel like a different person, I can't write music, and I have developed a tendency to not care about anything. Sometimes, i'll stop taking my medication for a few days just to get to be myself. But then mood swings start catching up to me and things don't go too well (fighting with my best friends, missing work, etc...). For long I've wanted to drop the lithium completely, but I feel like I wouldn't be able to survive the consequences. This song represents my situation perfectly, someone who wants to ''stay in love with their sorrow'' or ''let it go'' but keeps calling back the lithium because she can't have a normal life without it. Yes, I know Amy isn't bipolar, but I got a feeling this is what happened to Ben. |

| @amber33, Just because Amy isn't bipolar doesn't mean that she can't write a song about it. Ben Moody, one of Evanescence's founding members is bipolar. | |
