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.
Sara Lumley I'm so agree with you. Thanks :) I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder as well and this song have been my fav from Amy since Fallen came out. Take care! ;)
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
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.
I'm so sorry but their something that makes me feel so awesome when I realise people have found their strength to confess the bad stuff in their lives. It's amazing you've found your strength
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.
I'm 58 and I'm with y'all..just take care of yourself above anything else and always be kind to your soul and rock the highs and ride out the lows as they always come and go.. Blessings
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 know the feeling, had multiple ventricular tachycardia episodes. It's so rare when a song talks directly to your soul like this. To me the cold felt pretty good, comforting. It was preferable to what was going on on the outside, which was a lot of pain. But I always knew I was a passenger there. Hope your condition has been kind to you in these past 2 months !
The Lark I ♥️Evanescence But they are/were a BAND!! Lol! Silly rabbit! You called them a "her" collectively! The singer herself is named Amy Lee! And she will always and forever be one of my favorite vocalist as well! Lol so silly! You sure you're a fan lol!!
Not sure if you’re from a younger generation but, for the people who grew up listening to evanescence, we still consider her to be one of the great voices of our time, specially in modern rock music. Sad she kinda disappeared and stopped making music.
@@tocallopr you're wrong about her not making music she just released a new track and all that other time she was doing concerts for her synthesis album
@@tocallopr no problem but I really recommend listening to the live synthesis performances it gives you goosebumps with the amount of emotion she put out
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!
Sim, é uma ótima interpretação, mas eu acrescentaria que ela está tomando Lítio, mas ele a imobiliza de certa forma de alguns sentimentos que ela não queria esquecer como é senti-los, em alguns versos da música Sim, essa música é muito potente para mostrar como é a luta contra uma doença mental, e, é surpreendente o alcance dela, demonstra que não estamos sós, e muitos também a tem, ao redor do globo.
Ea letra da uma certa interpretação de que ela está usando o lítio (que é um metal muito usado em baterias devido a sua alta eficiencia no armazenamento e condução de carga elétrica) como uma especie de remédio pra tratar essa depressão, quase como se esse metal fosse uma especie de entorpecente. É uma letra que define muito bem o que a depressão pode causar numa pessoa.
@@katerout7020 actually theres quite a few studies that listening to sad or dark music while sad (in this case in a depressive episode) actually helps you feel better. could be made up but evanescence does make me and this person feel better so maybe it has merit
@@miichellerose If I recall correctly, Amy said on an interview that her goal was to make the listener feel listened, and not alone against whatever ailing that is ailing them. I suppose music like this, can help the troubling one to unload the emotional burden a bit, instead of neglecting its importance.
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!!!
I was at the same concert, some date, same location. Same vibe. It was a great show, and I am so glad I could count myself among the crowd. And here's to not singing alone anymore.
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

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
Wonderlandian Pretty true. Kendrick Lamar comes close in terms of theme and tone. He’s a Rapper. Singing wise Lana Del Rey not too far off. Rock wise, damn... i would have to think.
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.
I remember my parents constantly playing starting when I was 3 and then they just stopped listening to them but still liked them. And then I started to get into this kind of music so they told me to listen to them and I was like this band is still amazing to me 😂
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.
Actually after lithium is stabilized in the body it makes you numb. You don't feel. You exist. At least she could feel the depression and sorrow - she could feel something before lithium.
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 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.
The thing is, this song could have been in Fallen's repertoire, but I can't conceive of this song within Fallen, its structure is more in line with TOD's sounds, since Fallen always had a more gothic atmosphere, while TOD transmitted more personal feelings. And it was a thousand times more poetic. And more symphonic. Lithium is a song that has to be handled with poetic feelings and more metallic sounds.
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. ...
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 🤘
@@DirkjeA you are absolutely right! Except for bipolar disorder the 10,000 lumen light should be given at noon, and not early morning. I am aware of the literature on high-EPA fish oil for improving MDD and bipolar depression and think its all very encouraging. Once I'm own boss I actually plan on taking a multi-pronged approach to care. Medication, therapy, bright light therapy, exercise, meditation, anti-inflammatory diet, etc.
Serious question are you in Canada? Ontario in particular? Desperate to get a new understanding doctor! And if you’re a private care facility of course I’ll pay you out of pocket! Please get back to me thank you :)
i was on lithium for a year for bipolar and i miss it but cant have it because it made me drop things and go to sleep and yet still be awake.My doctor gave me a concoction that i can function on.He is very wary of giving me anything that may make me manic.Problem is that the meds are short lived so we move on.I am taking wellbutrin or wellbuteral not sure but it is mixed with other meds.He told me to let him know if i tend to get too happy.Not even close,more deppressive if anything.Iwould rather not feel anything than to just be mediocre
@leandra leo Lithium does reduce symptoms, as do other interventions, and I agree, bipolar disorder is usually a life-long illness that needs appropriate management.
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...
Check out the (more or less) "official" acoustic instrumental. Behind the guitars and drums lies a beautiful full sized piano piece. Even without the voice it delivers so much emotion.
Niki Wonoto Haters or those who disliked never had such feelings in life.Once they have that then they will value songs like these.Anyway I can't wait to like it or hear it.It's a never ending process.

Не знала причем тут литий ,когда слушала эту песню раньше, теперь понятно.Это так здорово,любить в себе все,даже психическое расстройство,и не отказываться от части себя, никогда.Пусть лучше мир прогнется под нас.. Чтобы чувствовать тонко,и вообще чувствовать.Может быть благодаря этому мы и любим так талант Эми Ли,у всего две стороны медали..
У всего две стороны медали... биполярное расстройство? 🥲🥹🤷 Я не могу справиться. Я не знаю. Я не говорю себе... Десятки стихов я сжег, десятки песен сочинил, но бросил и удалил. Но это реально... Вы знаете Пушкин? Война.. всё реально..
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 ♥️
Evanescence music is extremely depressing listen to Music from Roxette and you feel so happy. It's a shame Amy Lee decided to sound this way and not the sound of bands like Roxette.
That disorder is usually caused by yeast overgrowth. Please find a functional medicine doctor or naturopath to help you clear it from your system. I know someone who was healed. Wasn't easy, but he's been off lithium for almost 20 years despite having been on it since high school.
@@melaniedawn4256 wtf. yeast? the hell you arr talking about?? Don't encourage people to stop their ACTUAL treatment with medicine that ACTUALLY works, bipolar is 90% genetic and is a cronic disease that cannot be cured, we can be stable but need medicine like lithium to reach that stability. That is science and scientific evidence and beats "I know a person yadda yadda". This is so irresponsible...
@@JakeLo1991 Listening to happy music isn't going to take away the root problem of why you feel bad. Acting happy isn't going to fix you either. Evanescence helped me through my darkest periods in the past. While everyone around me was happy, she was the one who made me feel understood and made me feel like I wasn't alone. I was disgusted of happy music when I was in a dark period. Happy music is great when you're in the mood for it. "Depressing" music is great when you're in the mood for depressing music. Luckily there's so many different songs and singers, for everyone and every mood there's a type of favourite music. (Edit: I don't think Evanescence is depressing, I think it's powerful)
Lithium numbs the pain, but it also numbs the rest of you. That's why she wants to remember what it feels without it. The pain is awful, but it's familiar. And it makes you feel alive in a way. "Here in the darkness I know myself." it's hard because sometimes getting better means losing a fundamental part of your identity.
I'm not bipolar, but I have done battle with the beasts of depression, anxiety, and addiction. It's hard. In case no one told you today, you rock! Don't forget to be awesome!
Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) is one of the most widely used and studied medications for treating bipolar disorder. Lithium helps reduce the severity and frequency of mania. It may also help relieve or prevent bipolar depression. It does not numb Pain !

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.
@@007Husse sadly no I was diagnosed with bipolar two disorder, and was probably misdiagnosed my entire life. It is definitely not an easy thing to deal with. It’s manageable and hard.
Me, age 17, listening to this: so pretty Me, age 30, listening to this after having taken lithium for a while while treating cronical depression and been through a lot of shit: ..........................................O H
I had depression some time ago, some people don't undestand but i can say the pain is real. I hope you get better soon, i wish you all the good things.
Hey , hope you are in a better place now . I myself have had problems with depression and being suicidal for the past 5-6 years (im only 18 and yes my depression has never been taken seriously by anyone) and i just want you the best , to feel better and to always remember that there are people around you that DO care and that DO love you because thats the only thing thats kept me from doing myself in. Hold tight!
@@RHFactor100 It’s one of the side effects. That’s why they need to combine it with a good depression med. it took me awhile and 2 suicide attempts to find the right cocktail, but I’m finally there.
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.
Your comment caught my eye because this is what I am going through. In less than a week I'm going to meet the psychiatrist, which is going to prescribe me antidepressants (fortunately, not lithium, since it is not used anymore as a treatment because of its side effects). I am constantly afraid of losing myself during and after treatment. The person I am today is the result of my depression, which is a big part of my life, and I simply can't imagine who and what I might become if I suddenly become happy. Vanishing all of my life principles made over long times of thinking under the influence of my depression and my unique personality just for happiness? Is it worth it?
Antidepressants won't make you feel happy, that's not the point of them. They'll make you feel numb, try to ease your "inside pain", so you can at least try to function like a normal human being. And yes, I'm speaking from experience.
lithium is a drug used to treat bipolar disorder (mania & depression) . unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out daily activities .
Not only bipolar disorder. Lithium is a mineral found inside everyone's body and an imbalance/lack of it affects the part of the brain responsible for the feelings of happiness/sadness.
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.
She does have amazing range and ability. If you like singers that can transition from different techniques, I highly recommend checking out Nightwish, with their 'new' singer, Floor Jansen. I think you will enjoy them.
Idk dude it kinda depends on what genre we're talking here, Billie's genre is totally different from Evanescence. Idk I might be biased but each to their own.
C'mon guys, Billie elish have a nice voice (as you can see in new 007 music) but her style is very different and doesn't use much of her vocal power. I thinks she have some credit for bring a original style at music scene, much of the artists today are the same and there is a lack of originality.
omg yes please i cant stand how much billie's voce is hidden by all the different beats in her music. Amy lee has a beautiful powerful voice that she doesn't need to hide through loud distorted sounds. Although lovely from billie was really pretty ,all of amy's music is 10x better in my opinion

The people that disliked this song should get their covid test, because one of the main symptoms is no taste.
Ur right lol
Exactly
Say it louder for those in the back 🤏🏾
You cant stop the dislikes belive me
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Right on👌🏽
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.
Sara Lumley I'm so agree with you. Thanks :) I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder as well and this song have been my fav from Amy since Fallen came out. Take care! ;)
Sara Lumley I hope you're fine now lots of love and hugs your way
good ass wopping cures all forms of depression
I'm so sorry to hear that. I suffer from social anxiety disorder but I refuse to see anyone I know what it feels like.. Best wishes
Sara Lumley after reading this comment i hear and understand the song better. I can understand the real meaning now

First of all, she's gorgeous. Second of all, her voice is literally insane, how can somebody not like her music?
She gorgeous, but in this video there was too much makeup. She looks better in others.
@@StrazdasLT I agree! Shes very pretty without makeup
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!
She def should have
u know there are few singers too that deserve it
but they never give it to 'real' ones who deserve .
thats grammy is just stupid's show

Here💐
Every year, every month, every day, every minute!!!!
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.
Respect🖤✌
I'm sorry you had to go through that. Stay strong, you're not alone.
So sorry that you were betrayed so horrifically. God bless
“By someone who shouldn’t have” Nobody should have, that must have been horrible
I'm so sorry but their something that makes me feel so awesome when I realise people have found their strength to confess the bad stuff in their lives. It's amazing you've found your strength
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.
You're not alone, I've been going through the same thing since i was 18, 31 now. It does get more manageable with time x
I'm 58 and I'm with y'all..just take care of yourself above anything else and always be kind to your soul and rock the highs and ride out the lows as they always come and go.. Blessings
One day things will be alright 💔
It's better to burn out than fade away.
i was 4 im 15 now
The "wonder what's wrong with me" line gets me every time. It feels like it's wrenched from her very soul.
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 know the feeling, had multiple ventricular tachycardia episodes. It's so rare when a song talks directly to your soul like this. To me the cold felt pretty good, comforting. It was preferable to what was going on on the outside, which was a lot of pain. But I always knew I was a passenger there. Hope your condition has been kind to you in these past 2 months !
Who still loves Evanescene?? They are one of my fav and the singer Amy Lee shall remain my fav. forever
The Lark I ♥️Evanescence But they are/were a BAND!! Lol! Silly rabbit! You called them a "her" collectively! The singer herself is named Amy Lee! And she will always and forever be one of my favorite vocalist as well! Lol so silly! You sure you're a fan lol!!
Sarai Watkins Bro I was saying about Amy Lee only she and the band were AWSOME
No other band with a female lead can touch their success. still awesome after all these years.
I am seeing her live in 2018
my childhood Goth rock singer
I don’t think she is given enough credit for how amazing her voice is.
Not sure if you’re from a younger generation but, for the people who grew up listening to evanescence, we still consider her to be one of the great voices of our time, specially in modern rock music. Sad she kinda disappeared and stopped making music.
@@tocallopr you're wrong about her not making music she just released a new track and all that other time she was doing concerts for her synthesis album
AyameKetsuki Really??! Thanks for the tip! I love me some Evanescence.
@@tocallopr no problem but I really recommend listening to the live synthesis performances it gives you goosebumps with the amount of emotion she put out
@@Aya-zr5hh the games is over is great too
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!
comentario f0da sobre uma msc f0da
Sim, é uma ótima interpretação, mas eu acrescentaria que ela está tomando Lítio, mas ele a imobiliza de certa forma de alguns sentimentos que ela não queria esquecer como é senti-los, em alguns versos da música
Sim, essa música é muito potente para mostrar como é a luta contra uma doença mental, e, é surpreendente o alcance dela, demonstra que não estamos sós, e muitos também a tem, ao redor do globo.
Ea letra da uma certa interpretação de que ela está usando o lítio (que é um metal muito usado em baterias devido a sua alta eficiencia no armazenamento e condução de carga elétrica) como uma especie de remédio pra tratar essa depressão, quase como se esse metal fosse uma especie de entorpecente. É uma letra que define muito bem o que a depressão pode causar numa pessoa.
Aynen.. Süper yorum.Gercekten de ne anlattığını bilmeden sakinleştirdi insanı...Yıllar sonra buraya gelince hala da öyle.🍀
melhor comentário dessa obra prima. Parabéns!!!
We're so lucky we got to grow up on Evanescence.
For some reason, whenever my depression is at its worst, Evanescence always feels so good to listen to.
Doesn't really make it better does it? Just teaches you to enjoy in some sick but poetic way.
Same and I just dance
Also crying but sometimes it feels good just to let it out when I can
@@katerout7020 actually theres quite a few studies that listening to sad or dark music while sad (in this case in a depressive episode) actually helps you feel better. could be made up but evanescence does make me and this person feel better so maybe it has merit
@@miichellerose If I recall correctly, Amy said on an interview that her goal was to make the listener feel listened, and not alone against whatever ailing that is ailing them.
I suppose music like this, can help the troubling one to unload the emotional burden a bit, instead of neglecting its importance.

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!!!
I was at the same concert, some date, same location. Same vibe. It was a great show, and I am so glad I could count myself among the crowd. And here's to not singing alone anymore.
Lucky you! I wish I was there as well! Thanks for sharing. 👍
Damn. I probably would have cried.

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone

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

Turn around quick, and start to run
Find out I'm the chosen one

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
Nobody is making music that sounds like this anymore is the worst part of all this
Ratshit but legit though.
Amo esta cancion muchisimo❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😍😘😍😘😍😘
@P K Do you have any recommendations?

Pretty true. Kendrick Lamar comes close in terms of theme and tone. He’s a Rapper. Singing wise Lana Del Rey not too far off. Rock wise, damn... i would have to think.
This is it true...
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.

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.
Спасибо, но песня не об этом. Идите в з......
I really love this detailed description you gave. Thanks
Wow that’s really dark but interesting to know
Actually after lithium is stabilized in the body it makes you numb. You don't feel. You exist. At least she could feel the depression and sorrow - she could feel something before lithium.
I used to take lithium for several years but I got off a long time ago
She truly is an angel. Her voice is amazing.
this is just so soulful, powerful, haunting. beautiful. perfect companion when dealing with deep depression, like i am now. grateful for this.
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...

Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.
Don't want to let it lay me down this time.

The thing is, this song could have been in Fallen's repertoire, but I can't conceive of this song within Fallen, its structure is more in line with TOD's sounds, since Fallen always had a more gothic atmosphere, while TOD transmitted more personal feelings. And it was a thousand times more poetic. And more symphonic. Lithium is a song that has to be handled with poetic feelings and more metallic sounds.
Thanks that Evanescence still exist. Thanks Amy for your unique voice in the world❤
Compared to today's "bumboxes", this is outstanding music. I love Evanescence

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 🤘
@@DirkjeA you are absolutely right! Except for bipolar disorder the 10,000 lumen light should be given at noon, and not early morning.
I am aware of the literature on high-EPA fish oil for improving MDD and bipolar depression and think its all very encouraging.
Once I'm own boss I actually plan on taking a multi-pronged approach to care. Medication, therapy, bright light therapy, exercise, meditation, anti-inflammatory diet, etc.
Serious question are you in Canada? Ontario in particular? Desperate to get a new understanding doctor! And if you’re a private care facility of course I’ll pay you out of pocket! Please get back to me thank you :)
i was on lithium for a year for bipolar and i miss it but cant have it because it made me drop things and go to sleep and yet still be awake.My doctor gave me a concoction that i can function on.He is very wary of giving me anything that may make me manic.Problem is that the meds are short lived so we move on.I am taking wellbutrin or wellbuteral not sure but it is mixed with other meds.He told me to let him know if i tend to get too happy.Not even close,more deppressive if anything.Iwould rather not feel anything than to just be mediocre
Simple Psychiatry MD so has she taken lithium before? because it seems like she has..

Lithium does reduce symptoms, as do other interventions, and I agree, bipolar disorder
is usually a life-long illness that needs appropriate management.

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...
totally agree i feel this song on such a deep level and the video is amazing
+aobcldeefcghcake I personally love Icon For Hire and think they transport emotions really good :)
i think 69 millions views is not underrated. plus dont forget about 100 millions who didnt heard and 200 millions who didnt understand.
Check out the (more or less) "official" acoustic instrumental.
Behind the guitars and drums lies a beautiful full sized piano piece. Even without the voice it delivers so much emotion.
Niki Wonoto Haters or those who disliked never had such feelings in life.Once they have that then they will value songs like these.Anyway I can't wait to like it or hear it.It's a never ending process.

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 ♥️
Evanescence music is extremely depressing listen to Music from Roxette and you feel so happy. It's a shame Amy Lee decided to sound this way and not the sound of bands like Roxette.
I don't think so. this song can help for self reflection. You can't reach depressed people wih a happy song "hey come on smile!"
That disorder is usually caused by yeast overgrowth. Please find a functional medicine doctor or naturopath to help you clear it from your system. I know someone who was healed. Wasn't easy, but he's been off lithium for almost 20 years despite having been on it since high school.
@@melaniedawn4256 wtf. yeast? the hell you arr talking about?? Don't encourage people to stop their ACTUAL treatment with medicine that ACTUALLY works, bipolar is 90% genetic and is a cronic disease that cannot be cured, we can be stable but need medicine like lithium to reach that stability. That is science and scientific evidence and beats "I know a person yadda yadda". This is so irresponsible...
@@JakeLo1991 Listening to happy music isn't going to take away the root problem of why you feel bad. Acting happy isn't going to fix you either. Evanescence helped me through my darkest periods in the past. While everyone around me was happy, she was the one who made me feel understood and made me feel like I wasn't alone. I was disgusted of happy music when I was in a dark period. Happy music is great when you're in the mood for it. "Depressing" music is great when you're in the mood for depressing music. Luckily there's so many different songs and singers, for everyone and every mood there's a type of favourite music. (Edit: I don't think Evanescence is depressing, I think it's powerful)
Still I love this song...2023!❤🎉❤
O Evanescence tem canções incríveis mas essa...Lithium é a melhor canção da banda e me arrepia até hj.
Lithium numbs the pain, but it also numbs the rest of you. That's why she wants to remember what it feels without it. The pain is awful, but it's familiar. And it makes you feel alive in a way. "Here in the darkness I know myself." it's hard because sometimes getting better means losing a fundamental part of your identity.
+Ashley Flynn Finally, someone who understands - really understands - bipolar.
I'm not bipolar, but I have done battle with the beasts of depression, anxiety, and addiction. It's hard. In case no one told you today, you rock! Don't forget to be awesome!
+Ashley Flynn very well put
Lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) is one of the most widely used and studied medications for treating bipolar disorder. Lithium helps reduce the severity and frequency of mania.

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.
Absolutely. She, Cristina Scabbia and Tarjia Turunen are the holy Trinity of peak female vocalists
Means she sings from the heart ❤
@Black Bullet there more than 3 good female singers haha than just means you are a fan of those 3. I do love Amy as a singer/ artist. ❤
agreed
Jesus-Christ love you my brothers and sistersss ! Come back to him ! (John 3:16) "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." He died for you ! You will be saved by believing in his name, and you will not go to hell. So, accept him with all your heart, read the Bible ! Here is the good news ! ❤🥰🥰
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.
Vamos de 200 Milhões para esse Hinoooo!!🇧🇷👑🖤
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
lol I read this at the moment that line played.

+ittybittykittycommittee same 😂
They're going on tour this fall
+Tanya Mars really?!
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.
I agree. I'm also diagnosed with bipolar and I take lithium
I feel you
Can you be cured from it?
I will always come back to Amy Lee. 🖤🥀
@@007Husse sadly no I was diagnosed with bipolar two disorder, and was probably misdiagnosed my entire life. It is definitely not an easy thing to deal with. It’s manageable and hard.
I cried so hard to this song at their concert in São Paulo last year. My life will NEVER be the same!
She is one of the best female singers out there!
Me, age 17, listening to this: so pretty
Me, age 30, listening to this after having taken lithium for a while while treating cronical depression and been through a lot of shit: ..........................................O H
I had depression some time ago, some people don't undestand but i can say the pain is real. I hope you get better soon, i wish you all the good things.
Douglas J. Almeida I agree…
Ivy Rose Yep. Hope for better for you
Mariá Raposa Branca 8
Hey , hope you are in a better place now . I myself have had problems with depression and being suicidal for the past 5-6 years (im only 18 and yes my depression has never been taken seriously by anyone) and i just want you the best , to feel better and to always remember that there are people around you that DO care and that DO love you because thats the only thing thats kept me from doing myself in. Hold tight!
she´s an angel
and will always be an angel.
+Dave Strider AGREE SHE IS THE,BEST SINGER EVET
She's an Angel of Music...
I don't expect anyone to get this but...
Christine, Christine, Christine...
+Phoenix Rocks I get it
she really is...Angel.
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
I love this song , but I am glad that I am no longer in that dark place.
I forgot how good this album is
Me too.
I f*cking love the open door album
biohazard724 me too
biohazard724 Open Door had such a pretty sound and the album art made me forever envious of that dress. I wanted it.
***** When you think about it... it's like you never stopped listening them.
This song was such a gift to those of us with mental health problems.🥰
Very true!
And a fellow on work told me that this causes suicide?
And still suffer
Agreed I’m on lithium, plus a few others for bipolar1 and anxiety. This song hits home for me.
@@RHFactor100 It’s one of the side effects. That’s why they need to combine it with a good depression med. it took me awhile and 2 suicide attempts to find the right cocktail, but I’m finally there.
ЖЕНЯ 💔❤️ ЛЮДА 🇧🇾👍🏾
Fortfarande enastående musik.
Svårt överträffa!
If you grew up on this kind of music, THEN YOUR CHILDHOOD WAS AWESOME!

Awesome but sad at the same time
@@talposandrei7996 yeah.Reminds me of when I used to cut myself.
Wrong
wish i did
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.
Your comment caught my eye because this is what I am going through. In less than a week I'm going to meet the psychiatrist, which is going to prescribe me antidepressants (fortunately, not lithium, since it is not used anymore as a treatment because of its side effects). I am constantly afraid of losing myself during and after treatment. The person I am today is the result of my depression, which is a big part of my life, and I simply can't imagine who and what I might become if I suddenly become happy. Vanishing all of my life principles made over long times of thinking under the influence of my depression and my unique personality just for happiness? Is it worth it?
🤣🙂😉😎😋😪😯😏😴😪😯😯
How do you know she had never taken it?
Antidepressants won't make you feel happy, that's not the point of them.
They'll make you feel numb, try to ease your "inside pain", so you can at least try to function like a normal human being.
And yes, I'm speaking from experience.
They still use Lithium today, its one of the best for bi-polar disorder.
2024 anyone?
After all these years...
Yep
Atemporal. 2007 saudades ❤️
6K people who doesn't know what good music is.
No, now its 7K+ people
Amo Evanescence 🖤
after almost a year taking lithium pills, I get the meaning of this song and it breaks my soul to relate.
Lithium keeps me out of the hospital. 600mg morning and night
Jennifer Lovef 40mg prozac, 100mg carbamazepine and I just quit them cold turkey, i feel like im dying
bloodsugarcrazy3 La be strong! i know it's hard, i'm still taking some of those pills. dont give up ❤
Thank you! You as well!
why hate this song its about life❤😮
休憩 春夏秋冬 猛暑 太陽みたいです‥やっぱり。
lithium is a drug used to treat bipolar disorder (mania & depression) . unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out daily activities .
Yes people don't know that... but I unfortunately do
Ah, I understand. That is why it's used in batteries as well. It helps with bipolar things.

Not only bipolar disorder. Lithium is a mineral found inside everyone's body and an imbalance/lack of it affects the part of the brain responsible for the feelings of happiness/sadness.
What? lithium is an anti depressant? i always thought they are talking about the mineral. now the songs makes sense, but i still love it.
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.
She has beutiful voice .I agree.!!!!
She does have amazing range and ability. If you like singers that can transition from different techniques, I highly recommend checking out Nightwish, with their 'new' singer, Floor Jansen. I think you will enjoy them.
Autotune.
@@theedrstrangelove I've seen live versions of this song and she sounded amazing. I doubt she needs autotune.
She is an amazing singer.
2023... still feeling this song... love yall!!
No one can match those notes she hits
Evanescence is really on a different level. Take care everyone.
You too
Yeah just dont see them live 🤣 better watch music video's with evanescence

Amy Lee is beautiful
Billie eillish makes the most depressed videos
Evanescence: awww that's cute
Billie elish or whatever her name... is terrible and lame IMHO, please don't compare any of the good artists like Evanescence to that s.... millenial.
Idk dude it kinda depends on what genre we're talking here, Billie's genre is totally different from Evanescence. Idk I might be biased but each to their own.
C'mon guys, Billie elish have a nice voice (as you can see in new 007 music) but her style is very different and doesn't use much of her vocal power. I thinks she have some credit for bring a original style at music scene, much of the artists today are the same and there is a lack of originality.
No. Please no. Can't you just not compare Amy to Billie?
omg yes please i cant stand how much billie's voce is hidden by all the different beats in her music. Amy lee has a beautiful powerful voice that she doesn't need to hide through loud distorted sounds. Although lovely from billie was really pretty ,all of amy's music is 10x better in my opinion
❤❤❤ 2023 I still listen this masterpiece ❤❤❤
