i think this song is all about how much u love someone and how far u r willing to go to love them, its all about loyalty. and learning to break free from ppl, and to take the feeling of not being loved sometimes.

Songs, to me, can mean many different things to many different people. To me, it could explain some things about the situations I go through,"Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside," to a shy person [Like myself] could mean to them not to want to lock the person that they truly are away from other people to see. "And in the end I guess I had to fall," My interpretation of that in my eyes would be to keep yourself locked up, to be something you don't want to be, to do so many things you wish not to do, and finally to "fall" in the end for it. "Can't break through until I let it go, let me go," could be in another person's eyes to wish to be let free, to be themself, and to try so desperately to do it. "I want to stay in love with my sorrow," To another person, it may mean that they find comfort in their tears and sorrow and don't want to let that go. Again, this was just an interpretation from my eyes.

I love this one.

Lithium is about how Amy has become attached to her depressing attitude. Its like it's become a part of her and she can't let it go even though she wants to. She wants to get out of this sorrow, but can't because she's been "in love with her sorrow" for so long. It's like she's trapped within herself. And Lithium is like energy. In this case, energy she needs, but doesn't have. Kinda like motivation. Get it?

lithium is used in jet fighters as a propellant and also in super glue as a bonding agent. Both of these things are depressing and she is clearly stating this in her song, not in words but in the beat. If you listen to 2:12 and 2:37 on volume 10 you can literally feel her pain. the music video was offered as an interpretive ritualistic dance, much like the cherokee indians do. yes, as a cherokee of the smack a ho tribe i am one of the few who can interpret 3:19 for you. but it will cost you a dollar.

She is diagnosed with either BIPOLAR or manic DEPRESSION. They're both the same thing cause I'm diagnosed with it too.. I'm only 17 and I take lithium. lithium helps you FEEL.. Happiness, emotion, alive. She's talking about herself and her MIND; you remember who you WERE but it feels like somebody else is taking over your body; almost as if you lost yourself, and the only person that you have left is your mind..(thoughts), sometimes they're suicidal thoughts.. makes you feel worthless & dead. Her song hello explains a lot ! I was listening to my ipod all day today and I never paid attention to her lyrics...but when I did, right away I knew her whole album was about depression/bipolar. It was deep

i thinks its about coming out of depression and how scary it is. because you start to love it and are scared of changing it. mental illness is the centre of my life and for someone to take that away leaves me thinking, well what will there be instead? being depressed is easy, im good at it, i know how to do it, so why change that? thats how it feels to me anyway
