The people that disliked this song should get their covid test, because one of the main symptoms is no taste.

Edit: I am not sure what the true meaning behind the song may be, this is how I always perceived it. Im so happy that so many people replied, thank you for all the conversations. Bipolar and depression are not spoke about enough, thank you for shining a light into the darkness and continuing a conversation about it. Lithium is a medication that is given to people who suffer from major mental illness, it's used as a base medication to deal with main symptoms and then in combination with other medications. I have been on lithium for almost five years, dealing with bipolar disorder, and I can say, that the whole first year of the medication felt exactly like this song. You feel nothing, the numbness is almost more painful than the depression that's being treated. You never understand why so many people fail to stick with their treatment until you live that life. Once you start down that path all you want is to be free of it and to feel again. This song is so much deeper than anyone can understand.

2024, anyone?

First of all, she's gorgeous. Second of all, her voice is literally insane, how can somebody not like her music?

Her voice goes straight to your heart. I don't need to say how rare that is, she's a very special singer. One of the greatest rock artists, singers and songwriters of the 21th century, extremely talented lady.

I remember being here as a 13 year old not knowing what this song meant. I was just a moody teenage fan. Here I am as a 24 year old, dealing with bipolar disorder, insomnia, trauma, brokenness and an array of other things for the past 6 almost 7 years. I wish I was back to the time when I didn’t know what this song meant or felt like. Just starting on lithium on top of my other medications. Im a danger to myself without meds but hopefully someday I can hold onto myself without help. It’s hard but we take it day by day. I believe in me. I believe in you. I believe in us that are suffering. I hope we can all find the healing that leads to stable and better days.

Its June 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song.

The "wonder what's wrong with me" line gets me every time. It feels like it's wrenched from her very soul.

For some reason, whenever my depression is at its worst, Evanescence always feels so good to listen to.

So I saw Evanescence in concert last night (1/20/22 in Worcester, MA) and she sang Lithium. Let me tell ya... It was no different than when she first sang it! Amy Lee's voice hasn't changed one bit! She still hit those notes owning that arena and continued to impress us throughout the night! She still sounds absolutely amazing and she sounded amazing singing this song, 10+ years later!!!

She used to be a opera singer but she liked rock so she made a band her voice is so amazing ❤

I don’t think she is given enough credit for how amazing her voice is.💖💖💖💖💖💖

No one makes this kinda music anymore. Her voice gives me chills. Best artist of my time.

I was sexually abused as a little boy, by someone who shouldn’t have, my teacher. I blamed myself, my mom, the school. Why didn't anyone come to help, stop it, no one cared. It has bothered me all my life. I did get some therapy, but I still fight to deal with it. at 44, I remember it like yesterday, i was 10. It wasn't until Evanescence came on the scene, their music gave me calm, a place I could go and think, detach from my guilty and self destructive behavior to deal with my shame and abuse, the blame i told myself, it was my fault. But leaning into my Christian faith and this song, their music has given me much strength and purpose. I am doing better, but the battle continues. Thank you Evanescence.

We're so lucky we got to grow up on Evanescence.

My ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) Song. I laid there, unable to move, speak, or breathe for myself in the ICU. and this song and video played over and over again on the tv. I lived this song and video, as I laid there. It embodied exactly what I was going through. I felt so cold. I felt like I was drowning. screaming for help, but no one could hear me. I was unable to speak, at the time. All I could do, was exist in my very cold living hell.

I don’t think she is given enough credit for how amazing her voice is.

Am I the only one who thinks that Evanescence should have been awarded with a Grammy because of this masterpiece? Edit: Thanks for all the likes!

This is like a dark fairytale. 🧚‍♀️

She truly is an angel. Her voice is amazing.

Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow Oh, but God I wanna 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? Lithium, don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium, I wanna stay in love with my sorrow, oh Don't wanna 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 wanna lock me up inside Lithium, don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium, in love with you Oh, I'm gonna let it go

Sounds better and better as the years go. 2020

this is just so soulful, powerful, haunting. beautiful. perfect companion when dealing with deep depression, like i am now. grateful for this.

A música "Lithium" da banda Evanescence é uma canção sobre a luta contra a depressão e a ansiedade. A letra da música é escrita do ponto de vista de uma pessoa que está lutando contra esses problemas de saúde mental. A pessoa se sente isolada e sozinha, e está desesperada por encontrar uma maneira de se sentir melhor. A música começa com a pessoa descrevendo seus sentimentos de tristeza e desespero. Ela diz que está "sendo consumida por dentro" e que "se sente como se estivesse em um sonho". Ela está lutando para encontrar um significado na vida e está se sentindo perdida e sem esperança. A pessoa então começa a falar sobre sua relação com a medicação. Ela diz que está tomando lítio, um medicamento usado para tratar a depressão e a bipolaridade. Ela diz que o lítio está ajudando a controlar seus sintomas, mas que ainda não é o suficiente. Ela ainda se sente triste e ansiosa, e está lutando para encontrar uma maneira de se sentir feliz e realizada. A música termina com o eu lírico expressando seu desejo de encontrar uma maneira de se curar. Ela diz que está cansada de sofrer e que está disposta a fazer qualquer coisa para se sentir melhor. Ela está procurando por uma maneira de encontrar a paz e a felicidade. A música "Lithium" é uma canção comovente que fala sobre uma questão importante. Ela é uma inspiração para as pessoas que estão lutando contra a depressão e a ansiedade, e mostra que é possível encontrar a cura. Aqui estão alguns versos específicos da música que ilustram esses temas: "I'm being consumed from the inside out I feel like I'm in a dream" Esses versos descrevem os sentimentos de isolamento e desespero que a pessoa está experimentando. Ela se sente como se estivesse presa em um ciclo de tristeza e ansiedade. "I'm taking lithium It's helping me to cope But I'm not okay" Esses versos mostram que a pessoa está tentando encontrar ajuda, mas ainda não encontrou uma solução definitiva. O lítio está ajudando, mas ainda não é suficiente para curar sua depressão. "I'm tired of suffering I'm tired of being lost I'm tired of being alone" Esses versos expressam o desejo da pessoa de encontrar a cura. Ela está cansada de sofrer e está disposta a fazer qualquer coisa para se sentir melhor. Espero que tenha apreciado esta interpretação!

Who still loves Evanescene?? They are one of my fav and the singer Amy Lee shall remain my fav. forever

her voice is so powerful

Lembro-me como se fosse ontem... Meu irmão tinha um DVD de rock, e a primeira vez que vi esse videoclipe, fiquei em pé parada, em frente a TV; assombrada com tamanha beleza da cantora e como seu som era genuíno. Pois nunca tinha visto algo similar antes, e tudo parece mais intenso quando você é uma criança ou um adolescente. Essa é minha música favorita certamente, o clipe é uma arte gótica e já tive experiência com o lítio.

Amy is such a Goddess!! One of those few voices that give you chills every single time. Doesn’t matter what she’s singing.

she´s an angel

Her baby boy is so lucky that this beautiful voice probably sings him to sleep every night

This is the most powerful song I have ever heard in history. A very strong rock ballad, the vocals, the lyrics, the music.. The vocals are so felt that only someone who has experienced something similar can sing something like that. I'm sorry for my bad english

Thanks that Evanescence still exist. Thanks Amy for your unique voice in the world❤

Congratulations: you're come to listen to one of the greatest songs recorded in human history.

As someone with Bipolar disorder, this song meant a lot to me growing up, and revisiting it today made me realise how profound and meaningful Amy Lee's lyrics and vocals are. Evanescence is for life. Love you Amy.

who's Listening in 2024 ??

She is one of the best female singers out there!

evanescence 💟💓💕💞💗💞💕💓💟

If you’re watching this in 2021, you are not alone 🎸

2024 anyone?

The haunting brilliance of the song perfectly captures a person's mind in love with sadness and the soul numbing drug that drowns her to be normal. Thank Heaven for edibles.

Lithium is a mood stabilizer used for depression and bipolar disorder. It should take away the sorrow that the writer holds inside but she is not ready to let go of it. Lithium doing this by suppress feelings, puts her in a "cage" against which she resists. She has lived with sorrow so long that losing it now would be like losing a part of herself. That is what the whole refrain is about: "Lithium, Don't want to lock myself up inside, Lithium, Don't want to forget what it feels without, Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow." It's about her inner feelings and she's fighting with her deamons. Lee's lyrics are often metaphorical and the words consist of double meanings.

God she's hypnotic. I cant decide what is more beautiful, her eyes or that voice.

I've been listening for only a few years, so the lyrics and voicing seem to have more meaning every time. Amazing band. Thank you

2024 and i'm still in love with this woman.

Evanescence - Lithium [Chorus] Lithium Don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium I wanna stay in love with my sorrow [Verse 1] Oh But God, I wanna 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 [Bridge] I can't hold on to me Wonder what's wrong with me [Chorus] Lithium Don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium I wanna stay in love with my sorrow [Verse 2] Don't wanna 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 [Bridge] I can't hold on to me Wonder what's wrong with me [Chorus] Lithium Don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium I wanna stay in love with my sorrow [Outro] Stay in love with you I, I'm gonna let it go

Hey MD / resident psychiatrist here. Whenever I prescribe lithium to one of my bipolar patients I think of this song. It really is not only a beautiful and chilling song/video but the lyrics beautifully summarize what patients often experience from lithium: emotional blunting. Sadly many psychiatric medicines work this way. And sadly, lithium is still the best treatment for preventing both bipolar depression and mania that we have ever discovered. While emotional blunting/anhedonia can be dreadful, the utter, devastating destruction that mania leaves in its wake can make a persons life even worse sometimes. Like anything it is a cost benefit thing and depends on the patient. Take care and rock on 🤘

Is anyone listening to 2024?

Amy Lee's voice is so pure on this..

Believe it or not. This song helped me get over a Coke addiction, 10 years ago, and when I heard it again I broke down crying. life was hard... Thank You, Amy. ...

this is sadly such a very underrated song... i don't know why people somehow can't feel such a deep level of emotions, as well as the beauty in the song/music compositions & arrangements, as well as the beautiful artwork & scene shot in the video... it seems like people nowadays have become so numb, shallow, & superficial...& can't feel on much deeper level of emotions & soul...

[Chorus] Lithium Don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium I wanna stay in love with my sorrow, oh But God, I wanna let it go [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I can't hold on to me Wonder what's wrong with me [Chorus] Lithium Don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium I wanna stay in love with my sorrow, ah You might also like Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From The Vault] Taylor Swift Bring Me to Life Evanescence Going Under Evanescence [Bridge] Don't wanna 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I can't hold on to me Wonder what's wrong with me [Chorus] Lithium Don't wanna lock me up inside Lithium Don't wanna forget how it feels without Lithium Stay in love with you, ah I'm gonna let it go

Смотрю в 2023 году, мурашки как в первый раз.

Diagnosed with bipolar 5 years ago. I have stopped taking medications for more than a year now. Butttt as of yesterday, I am back on lithium :’) Day 2 and I hope I wont ever stop again. Sending love to everyone who is struggling with their disorders. Music like this really helps ♥️

I cried so hard to this song at their concert in São Paulo last year. My life will NEVER be the same!

Amo Evanescence 🖤

Her music touches my soul I love Evanescence, Amy Lee 💕❤

These lyrics are brilliant. The struggle of wanting to be happy but being afraid of who you might be without the depression. It feels like depression is what made you who you are and you might have nothing left without it. I love that she used Lithium as the centerpiece of this metaphor despite having never taken it. Just genius.

Excellent and dense song. Much more than 'going under', which I love. Practically a cry of the soul, in the deepest layers. Love Evanescence.

I love this song , but I am glad that I am no longer in that dark place.

I'm just so amazed by her range and dynamic ability to transition her vocals so seamlessly. Such an amazing talent. Her voice is not complicated but her techniques are. Beautiful soul.

I forgot how good this album is

Quem diria, em pleo 2024 ouvimos músicas que fez parte da nossa adolescência, além de que muitas de hoje em dia não vale a pena. 😅

It's one of the Evanescence songs that I identify with the most, my favorite. 💗

This band was so underrated.

Officially the coolest song and video to play in the chemistry class

Still unsurpassed Gothic rock. Still utterly amazing.

why hate this song its about life❤😮

Fun fact: Amy wrote this song on a guitar at age 15. Amazing that it turned into this.

One of my favorite songs from the group. So much feeling.❤

Damn, last time I saw this video was in early to mid 2007 when I was 12. It's the video and song that made me discover Evanescence. Love this band. 🤘

After all this years, still can't get enough. What a voice.

O Evanescence tem canções incríveis mas essa...Lithium é a melhor canção da banda e me arrepia até hj.

Loved this song since it came out. Love her voice here.

This phrase - darling I forgive you after all, anything is better than to be alone - this is so fcking true... Amy, you are a pure perfection. Please come back with new music asap

I remember hearing this song when i was six.Now im sixteen and still here.

Will never stop loving this angel. She is the most gorgeous, amazing singer in the Universe, she has the voice of an angel.

Perfeita! Ouço essas músicas desde criança! Saudades 😢

I love how she holds back and slowly builds up anticipation, then explodes with such power and passion. You know that you will not be disappointed! Wonderful.

This song was such a gift to those of us with mental health problems.🥰

Hell yeah love Evanscence

Every girl back then wanted to be like Amy Lee. She's gorgeous and has a lot of style. Love her.

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. 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, ...stay in love with you. I'm gonna let it go.

The first song that started my acquaintance with this amazing band

Uma das mulheres mais bonitas que tivemos a oportunidade de ver na música. Bonita, talentosa e uma voz incrível. Sorte do homem que casou com ela.

Evanescence is really on a different level. Take care everyone.

I dont understand so many haters gonna hate but there is nothing wrong with evanacence. they bring quality music.

Let's not forget that the piece of music (and others by E) is also wonderfully composed, but her voice always picks me up immediately. This pressure in the lower registers and the lightness in the heights, I get even ne goosebumps inflammation.😄

Amy is maravilie❤

Her voice cuts my emptiness like a razorblade.. she's perfection

This is one of the most powerful songs ever written and Amy Lee's vocals are breathtaking. How could you not fall in love with with this woman? The lyrics and meaning of the song are much deeper than most people realize. This is what music is about.

Angelic voice that stirs so many emotions in me, simply beautiful

Melhor banda de todos os tempos @evanescence

If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!

Anyone who's been on this crap, knows EXACTLY what this song is about. Thank you evanescence ❤

I'd rather be dead than live without you my darling. You are everything to me.

Her vocals are otherworldly. An instrument unto themselves. Effortlessly evocative. So flawless they sound auto tuned with no effects.

This is such a powerful ballad. A masterpiece in its own right. Still sounds awesome in 2023 and beyond.
