Evanescence - Lithium (Un Official Music Video) Story of Sara Goldfarb

[BennyKraehe]

Requiem for a Dream is showing addicted fighting with this addiction.

The only addictive part in a depression, or in the song Lithium, is the small addictive part of this illness based on a lot of freetime being described ill, and feeling more alive than healthy people, if you're in a manic episode.

"I wanna stay in love with my sorrow"

[BennyKraehe]

Belive me, I know what I'm talking about :-/

[BennyKraehe]

"Don't wanna let it lay me down this time,

drown my will to fly"

Manic episodes are sometimes so great, that you find yourself considering either it would be better to risk the depressive episodes for not losing the "will to fly" or "let you lay down" by the drug without the risk of falling into this endless hole again.

[BennyKraehe]

These are all typical things people constantly fight during they take psychopharmacy waiting for a real therapy.

[BennyKraehe]

The fear of not knowing the face in the mirror anymore if you maybe start to scorn your past "Here in the darkness i know myself"

[BennyKraehe]

The fear of becoming someone else because of these pills, the fear of maybe feeling guilty for the whole developement of the deseas

"And in the end i guess i had to fall..."

[BennyKraehe]

Medicine that calms psychological deseases mostly calms the entire emotional part of the patient, and that is what the song is about.

"Don't wanna forget how it feels without"

[BennyKraehe]

Sorry, but i think choosing the scenario of Requiem for a Dream is a grab deeeeep into the toilet... it's not always great what is combined of great ingridents ;-)

The song definetly is dealing with another problem than drug-abuse (neither they're prescribed or not).

[BennyKraehe]

A clinical relevant depressed person often is more likely to say "nah, i don't wanna take this shit, cause it makes me numb", but it's a rational decision to take 'em, made because you realize, that you loose any kind of motivation without it in the end.

thats crap.. i love amy lee.. and this song.. coming from someone who was taking lithium for years, (prescribed), i can say that this song is nothing shy of truth

[Lasadialarwen]
