It's sort of a metaphor about numbness and happiness and sort of like, it's me looking at happiness in a negative way because I've always been, you know, kind of afraid to be happy. Like with the band and the art and everything else, it's always like I'm never letting myself break through into the happiness it seems like, because it's not cool or something. And describing happiness is lithium, it's like saying 'that's numbness, I won't be able to be an artist anymore if I'm happy', which is hilarious because that's just not true, I'm happy. So it's like this fight within the song of like 'do I do this and get out of here and get happy or do I wallow in it like I always do?' and it's cool because at the end of the song I say 'I'm going to let it go', like I am going to be happy

Lithium is a chemical element in group 1 on the periodic table of elements. Since I don't know the song, I have no idea what the connection might be...

Go to http://www.songmeanings.net and look it up. Lithium is an element on the periodic table. Don't know if it symbolizes anything in the song because I haven't even heard the song all the way through. But just go look it up on the site I gave you.
