This song is about how his mental illness (bipolar) makes him feel. Bipolar dosnt just make you feel depressed but it also makes you have sever mood swings and thats what he's describing. Lithium is the drug perscribed to people with the illness.
I'm bipolar so I do know how it feels. One moment you feel passion for a choice you've made and the next you wonder why you made that choice in the first place.

@BigGeorgieB To the guy talking about speed, a hypomanic episode makes you horny. Also I think the "I like it, I'm not going to crack ect." I think that's about the lithium killing the hypomania that he loves and craves but he killed it with lithium and isn't going to crack and stop taking it. I'm bipolar and take lithium and it seems to fit for me.

@BigGeorgieB Spot on. Im on Lamotrigin instead of lithium. "Very Ape" also alludes to this sort of behavior. Bi Polar (manic depression) makes you feel afraid of yourself because you know you are going to go through these cycles and you cant do anything. you are never "normal" You are always lying in bed for weeks learning how to tie a hangmans knot or you have so much excess energy you dont sleep for 3 day and suspect everyone is spying on you/setting you up for failure.
