Description
Lithium - don't want to lock me up insidelithium - 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 I'm gonna let it go

You both have a point, but when you let go of the lithium it's the mania that breaks through rather than depression.
Of course, the lyric isn't literally about the pharmaceutical and I think my image is true to the conclusion of the song. As Amy Lee said, "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."
I think I'll have a lie down now.

Still if you look at it that way I still think colder colors would suit better or rather a MIX so to speak partly warm partly cold - since she says she is afraid I would make it more cold and less warm - to show the numbness - the emptiness the fear of happyness....ohmai - well it's your fractal after all and as long as YOU like it there is no problem about it

Thank you Rike. I can see you've given this a great deal of thought and I appreciate your feedback. Thoughtful responses are one of the things that make heavenriver so valuable to me. I hope you'll offer your thoughts on my work in the future.

I think coldness at heart should be expressed with cold tones as well, or a very dark red or violet. I instantly thought of the song when I read the title, and it turns out I was actually right. I also had a choice between Evanescence's and Nirvana's but it seems I got it right anyhow...
But even in despair there's always a newborn hope. Fires that burn also fertilize the soil for new life to be born again. That's what I see in this flame.

I listen to Evanescence a lot at the moment; Lithium is a favourite. I like your interpretation which is close to my own vision.
