This song called lithium?

I think that it is like about addictions and everything. I beleive that Lithium is a drug to help bi-polar people.

You can find the answers to that question on popular Lyric websites, maybe even on the band's website?

its about addiction.

I think this song is about being "in love with your sorrow" (like how Amy said she was for a long time in a kerrang interview.) I know the feeling, it's sort of like... you're afraid to be happy, because you've been sad for such a long time and you're so used to it, anything else is scary. btw for most of these songs I'm just putting what I think the song means to Amy... it doesn't mean I think the songs can't be interpreted in other ways. I just think it's kind of cool to have the "official" explanation early on in the comments. What is lithium? Petalite (lithium aluminium silicate) was first discovered in 1800 by the Brazilian (then Portuguese) scientist José Bonifácio de Andrade e Silva, who discovered the mineral in a Swedish iron mine on the island of Utö. However, it was not until 1817 that Johan August Arfwedson, then a trainee in the laboratory of Jöns Jakob Berzelius, discovered the presence of a new element while analyzing petalite ore. The element formed compounds similar to those of sodium and potassium, though its carbonate and hydroxide were less water soluble and had a larger capacity to neutralize acid. Berzelius gave the alkaline material the name "lithos", from the Greek λιθoς (lithos, "stone"), to reflect its discovery in a mineral, as opposed to sodium and potassium which had been discovered in plant tissue; its name would later be standardized as "lithium". Arfwedson later showed that this same element was present in the mineral ores spodumene and lepidolite. In 1818, Christian Gmelin was the first to observe that lithium salts give a bright red color in flame.
