While driving to work this morning, I got to really listen to the song Lithium by Evanescence. I mean, REALLY listen to the song. You know, aren't there times when you're listening to a tune, not paying attention to the words, but the beat and lyrics get stuck in your head and you find yourself singing along? Well that's what happened with Lithium this morning.
I will admit, after hearing this song the first few times, I had no idea Amy Lee was saying "Lithium" in the song. I mean, she drags the word out for 3 measures, so only when I heard the annoucer say the name of the song, did I actually get it.
Once I understood the title and paid closer attention to the lyrics, did I realize she was singing about her crazy drugs. Holy fuck! How bad is your creativity that you need to go and write lyrics to a song about your happy pills? Then I thought to myself, "Self, how fucking hard could it be to dedicate and write a song about one's happy pills?" Not very fucking hard.
Exhibit A: Lyrics to Lithium, by Evanescence
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, ...stay in love with my sorrow.
I'm gonna let it go
Now, for entertainment purposes only, I have written a song about MY happy pills, Effexor. Or should it be the generic name, Venlafaxine? Eh, what the shit, I'll go with Effexor this time and if you want, substitute the word Venlafaxine when you see Effexor.
Effexor, to the tune of Lithium, lyrics by Teresa,
Effexor, got to get that dose inside
Effexor, don't want to forget to take my
Effexor, I'm not longer sad and psycho
Oh shit, my script is getting low
Before bed, in the morning or afternoon
Take with food or you'll be shitting soon
Never want to have withdrawls
Spinning room, headaches and nausia really suck
I don't care when people ask
What the hell is wrong with me
Effexor, got to get that dose inside
Effexor, don't want to forget to take my
Effexor, I'm not longer sad and psycho
Careful when you drink, it really fucks you up
But it's fun to try
Don't get me wrong I'm still a bitch
With a smile I'll tell you "Go to Hell"
Go to hell
No more crying for no reason at all
Anxiety attacks are almost gone
To get more pills I know I have to call
XR Capsules are much better than tablets
I'm a much happier me
So fuck you if you don't agree
Effexor, got to get that dose inside
Effexor, don't want to forget to take my
Effexor, I'm not longer sad and psycho
Oh shit, don't want it to get too low
