Lithium
Amy Lee
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
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
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Oh, but, God, I want to let it go
A Dualidade de Lithium: Entre a Dor e a Liberdade Emocional
A música Lithium, da banda Evanescence, liderada pela vocalista Amy Lee, é uma poderosa balada que explora temas de dor, isolamento e a luta para encontrar a paz interior. O título da canção faz referência ao elemento químico lítio, que é comumente usado como um medicamento estabilizador de humor no tratamento de transtornos de humor, como o transtorno bipolar. A letra parece usar o lítio como uma metáfora para a estabilidade emocional que pode ser tanto reconfortante quanto restritiva.
A narrativa lírica da música reflete um conflito interno entre o desejo de se libertar das amarras da tristeza e a relutância em deixar para trás a familiaridade do sofrimento. A linha 'I wanna stay in love with my sorrow' sugere uma relação quase romântica com a própria dor, enquanto o refrão 'Don't wanna lock me up inside' expressa o medo de perder a própria identidade ou de se tornar insensível devido ao uso de medicamentos como o lítio. A música transmite uma sensação de estar preso entre a necessidade de cura e o medo de perder a conexão com as emoções verdadeiras.
Musicalmente, Lithium é caracterizada por sua melodia melancólica e a poderosa performance vocal de Amy Lee, que transmite a emoção crua da letra. A banda Evanescence é conhecida por seu estilo que combina elementos do rock gótico e metal com uma sensibilidade melódica, e Lithium é um exemplo emblemático dessa fusão. A canção é um convite para o ouvinte refletir sobre a complexidade das emoções humanas e a difícil jornada em busca de equilíbrio emocional e aceitação.
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lítio, não quero que me prenda aqui dentro

Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Vem pra cama, não me faça dormir sozinho
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
Não consegui esconder o vazio, você deixou aparecer
Never wanted it to be so cold
Nunca quis que fosse tão frio
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me

Afogar minha vontade de voar
Here in the darkness I know myself
Aqui na escuridão eu me conheço
Can't break free until I let it go
Não posso me libertar até deixar isso ir
Let me go
Deixe-me ir
Darling, I forgive you after all
Querida, eu te perdoo afinal
Anything is better than to be alone
Qualquer coisa é melhor do que estar sozinho
And in the end I guess I had to fall
E no final acho que tive que cair
Always find my place among the ashes
Sempre encontro meu lugar entre as cinzas

Oh, pero, Dios, quiero dejarlo ir
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Ven a la cama, no me hagas dormir solo
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
No pude ocultar el vacío; lo dejaste mostrar
Never wanted it to be so cold
Nunca quise que fuera tan frío
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me

Aquí en la oscuridad me conozco a mí mismo
Can't break free until I let it go
No puedo liberarme hasta que lo deje ir
Let me go
Déjame ir
Darling, I forgive you after all
Cariño, te perdono después de todo
Anything is better than to be alone
Cualquier cosa es mejor que estar solo
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Y al final, supongo que tenía que caer

Oh, mais, Dieu, je veux le laisser partir
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Viens te coucher, ne me fais pas dormir seul
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
Ne pouvais pas cacher le vide ; tu l'as laissé apparaître
Never wanted it to be so cold
N'ai jamais voulu que ce soit si froid
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
N'ai juste pas assez bu pour dire que tu m'aimes

Noyer ma volonté de voler
Here in the darkness I know myself
Ici dans l'obscurité, je me connais
Can't break free until I let it go
Ne peux pas me libérer tant que je ne le laisse pas partir
Let me go
Laisse-moi partir
Darling, I forgive you after all
Chéri, je te pardonne après tout
Anything is better than to be alone
N'importe quoi est mieux que d'être seul
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Et à la fin, je suppose que je devais tomber
Always find my place among the ashes
Trouve toujours ma place parmi les cendres
I can't hold on to me
Je ne peux pas me retenir
Wonder what's wrong with me
Je me demande ce qui ne va pas chez moi

Lithium, ich will in Liebe mit meinem Kummer bleiben
Oh, but, God, I want to let it go
Oh, aber, Gott, ich will es loslassen
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Komm ins Bett, lass mich nicht alleine schlafen
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
Konnte die Leere nicht verbergen; du hast es gezeigt
Never wanted it to be so cold
Wollte nie, dass es so kalt ist
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
Habe einfach nicht genug getrunken, um zu sagen, dass du mich liebst
I can't hold on to me
Ich kann mich nicht festhalten
Wonder what's wrong with me
Frage mich, was mit mir nicht stimmt

Don't want to let it lay me down this time
Will nicht, dass es mich diesmal niederlegt
Drown my will to fly
Ertränke meinen Willen zu fliegen
Here in the darkness I know myself
Hier in der Dunkelheit kenne ich mich selbst
Can't break free until I let it go
Kann nicht befreien, bis ich es loslasse
Let me go
Lass mich gehen
Darling, I forgive you after all
Liebling, ich vergebe dir trotz allem
Anything is better than to be alone
Alles ist besser als allein zu sein
And in the end I guess I had to fall
Und am Ende musste ich wohl fallen
Always find my place among the ashes
Finde immer meinen Platz unter der Asche
I can't hold on to me
Ich kann mich nicht festhalten
Wonder what's wrong with me
Frage mich, was mit mir nicht stimmt
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Lithium, will mich nicht einsperren
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without

Litio, voglio restare innamorato del mio dolore
Oh, but, God, I want to let it go
Oh, ma, Dio, voglio lasciarlo andare
Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
Vieni a letto, non farmi dormire da sola
Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show
Non potevo nascondere il vuoto; l'hai fatto vedere
Never wanted it to be so cold
Non volevo che fosse così freddo
Just didn't drink enough to say you love me
Solo che non ho bevuto abbastanza per dirti che ti amo
I can't hold on to me
Non riesco a tenermi stretta
Wonder what's wrong with me
Chiedo cosa c'è che non va in me
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Litio, non voglio farmi rinchiudere dentro
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Litio, non voglio dimenticare com'è senza
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Litio, voglio restare innamorato del mio dolore
Don't want to let it lay me down this time
Non voglio lasciare che mi abbatta questa volta
Drown my will to fly
Affogare la mia volontà di volare
Here in the darkness I know myself
Qui nell'oscurità mi conosco
Can't break free until I let it go
Non posso liberarmi finché non lo lascio andare
Let me go
Lasciami andare
Darling, I forgive you after all
Tesoro, ti perdono dopotutto
Anything is better than to be alone
Qualsiasi cosa è meglio che essere soli
And in the end I guess I had to fall
E alla fine immagino di dover cadere
Always find my place among the ashes
Trovo sempre il mio posto tra le ceneri
I can't hold on to me
Non riesco a tenermi stretta
Wonder what's wrong with me
Chiedo cosa c'è che non va in me
Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside
Litio, non voglio farmi rinchiudere dentro
Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without
Litio, non voglio dimenticare com'è senza
Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow
Litio, voglio restare innamorato del mio dolore
Oh, but, God, I want to let it go
Oh, ma, Dio, voglio lasciarlo andare
