General Information

Written by: A. Lee

The Open Door: Track 4
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.

Described as a track "which embraces feeling over numbness".

Suspected by some, before the release of The Open Door, to be a cover of the Nirvana song with which it shares its name, however this is not true.

The enchanting duo consisting of vocals and piano immediately reminds us of My Immortal. When the drums and guitars come in, the atmosphere becomes even more solumn. The vocals take care of emotion and consequently sadden the listener, thus reminding us of songs off Origin. This song is the first album’s highlight/marker and has real potential as a single.

Lyrics

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

Oh, 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
Lithiii-
Stay in love with me
Oh, I'm gonna let it go
