Lithium is a psychiatric drug used as a mood stabilizer, often prescribed to people with bipolar disorder and/or mood swings, along with other mood disorders.
Amy: "It's not literal, it's not literal about the drug for me, I've never taken lithium before. 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 by Evanescence is all about the struggle between the choice between the comfort of sorrow and the mysteries in happiness. Lithium is a drug for depressive and bi-polar diseases, so the question is whether or not she wants to be happy, or be depressed inside. (The song is not about her)

Not sure, It's prob about her ex Shaun Morgan of Seether, I really like this song, and Amy Lee is my favorite Female singer of all, next to Stevie Nicks. I think she is beautiful and talented.

Amy Lee is basically singing about being addicted to a drug called lithium, and being afraid of leaving her sorrow.

it sounds a lot like how she was talking about her boyfriend from seether. i think there are quite a few songs about him on the album because this song also talks about "you didn't drink enough to say you love me"

For some reason that song makes me think of suicide. I have no idea why.
