Lithium Lyrics - Nirvana

well, for me this song really strikes me and i don't know why. i just feel this hard. damn! they're all great. they really love music and they got it all. it's not the sounds that sometimes others didn't like to hear coz its too noisy for them but when you try to put yourself into it you just realize how they felt about the music they've made. you can feel the saddest part of their emotions well. i can feel kurt cobain PAIN dying inside. And maybe just listen carefully, feel the rhythm of the music, take time. we'll sure do love the music that fits our emotions and feelings. yeah.sorry for my bad english.

These guys were about the best ever at writing catchy pop songs. The hooks,melodies and feel of their songs totally outweigh whatever in the world they were singing about. They could have written all they're songs about breakfast cereal spam or anything and the rest of the music would have made it a hit anyway cause of the intensity and feel n what they played and sung. Kurt was a master are creating music period. Like a Beethoven -mozart or pop music. Incredible loss

This, repartae is what people want. People get sad and lonely and do and say things that may or may not harm others. It is up to onself to allow insignificant people to ruin ones day, or to just brush it off and allow them to think they are the bigger person when clearly, they are not.
Im not trying to 'hate' on anyone. Or defend anyone for the matter.

Epic song!
:D love every single part of it, although I wish I could have met Kurt. I'd personally would like to thank him for all of his kickass music, and how Nirvana was at its tipping point when he passed away..sure wished he were still here.

for someone who is qualified in psychology, l love how you spell pshycologist.
I thought a pshycologist was someone who set up pshing sites to rip peeps off. Kurt would have loved that one!!
Peace dude.

I love this song i still listen to it these days, i remember when i first heard it 20+ years ago i loved it then and i still love it now. This is what people with talent can really do instead of all those lady gaga's and rihanna poop that is on these days

Woa what happened to reviewing Lithium?? Justagirl, and everyone else, just ignore shadow, he doesn't know shit. Stop wasting time on a guy not even worth it. There is nothing worse than ignorance, and from what it seems this shadow is a PATHETIC fool begging for acknowledgment; "Hello my fans" what the hell? HAHAHA if anything it's hilarious how shadow thinks he is all that. Posting his daydream life to show off on a lyrics site is simply pitiful, he has no self-esteem. Justagirl props to you, I agree with your view on this song, and don't ever let idiots like him get to you. And Elei, you couldn't have said it better. But from now on, just ignore shadow. Trying to get back at his comments is just giving him what he wants: attention. Let's get back to the Nirvana...

I realize the comments posted earlier have nothing to do with me but I felt I had to intrude. Sorry if this offends anyone, even you Shadow.

"Because i'm a psychologist, and i see crazies like you everyday when i'm not working on one of my books or getting laid and paid by this website, sing365. You need to be locked up.
P.S. Max, why relate to justagirl? She's just a whiny little gal."

Shadow, you are one shitty psychologist if you even are one. Who cares about your books? Who cares about your sex life? Who cares about your voiceovers and documentaries? Why brag?

As a "psychologist" you should try and analyze yourself and your ridiculous need to mock others and make yourself seem superior to others which you obviously fail in. You come across as a sad, lonely and arrogant prick.

"Because unlike you, I won't be checking this page daily.
Because unlike you, I have a life."

Ouch, what a burn. Never heard that one before. Trying to convince us something here? In my opinion that is the lamest comeback you can come up with. It's said by everyone, everywhere. Why say it to a person you don't even know? You can't possibly know if she's checking the page daily but now we all know you are taking this little argument really seriously. Besides, having a life means you are enjoying your life and being happy. It doesn't mean shitloads of money and women like you seem to think.

"And yes, while i may hate and despise the poor, ugly monsters i have to talk to, it provides me with plenty of things for me and my friends to make fun of. -- I had always loved making fun of crazy people, and needed a reason to do it more often."

Well that's just sad. I hope you and your "friends" have fun.
By the way, the people who go to psychologists are definitely not poor, going to psychologist actually costs a lot. You should know.

I am 100% sure you're not a psychologist. A selfish rude troll like you wouldn't take the time to educate themselves for so long for something they don't even like and waste years of their lives just for laughs. And if you indeed did do that, you are just plain stupid. There has to be something wrong with your perfect life if you still feel the need to come here and argue.
Now PLEASE, I'm getting sick and tired of seeing this kind of fights in every single comment box on sites like this.

I dont have to review a song from one of the most gifted writers this planet has known. I just wanted to point out to justagirl that you are awesome. Keep doing whatever you want to do and be happy and this guy posing as a doctor has no clue what he is talking about. You are 20x more intelligent than he and you don't lie. He does. I do not know the motive for his lies and insults but I'll tell you one thing for sure, the guy posing as a doctor isn't even in the field of healthcare at all. He probably doesn't even have a job. All i have to say is that he can't even spell his profession correctly. Justagirl you spelled it correctly. Hey shadow of a man, go somewhere else to insult peoples intelligence. Learn how to spell psychologist before you try to pass as one. You did it multiple times so it wasn't a one time error. Your the sad sack! Everyone can tell. You are not even a music fan. Your not cool. I will not even reference you anymore because you don't even deserve the dignity of a response. Justagirl, you are the real deal.

People need to stop arguing on this lyric site. We should treat the music we love with respect. And i love all the Nirvana music and i respect Kurt Cobain with the highest of respect. All i really wanna say is by listening to Nirvana on a daily basis makes my days just that much easier to get through and on my bad days it makes everything feel understandable for me. Everyone that knows me just know that i'm constantly listening to Nirvana on my ipod. Kurt Cobain is now a Angel in Heaven.

Hey there, fans! I'm back with a little response comment to a response comment made by Justagirl. For those of you unaware,she made a comment in which she tried to not only relate herself to the late Kurt Cobain, but then encouraged people to look up stuff about Bipolar people. I basically told her that i thought it was sad that she needed to try and make us feel bad for her.
She made a response trying to not only tell me that i am not a pshycologist, but also tried to defend herself. Oh boy! Where do i begin? One: Little girl, i am a full-fledged pshycologist. And yes, while i may hate and despise the poor, ugly monsters i have to talk to, it provides me with plenty of things for me and my friends to make fun of. So, i have some sad sack trying to tell me what my job is? Look, bitch, i chose this job mainly because I had always loved making fun of crazy people, and needed a reason to do it more often. But enough about me, let us talk about you.
You go on to try and tell me that i may not be a qualified Physcologist, and try to tell me the correct way to spell bipolar. Listen up, i have read several psychological profiles that have spelled bipolar without a hypen. Also, i made a few spelling errors. BOO-FUCKING-HOO! I think you need to continue taking whatever medicine your doctor has put you on.
Because i can see that when crazies like you don't take your medicine, you start devloping delusions of grandeur. To all other crazy bastards, don't try to tell us your sob story. You need to be locked up in an aslyum, and lobotimized.

I wasn't expecting anyone to reply about my comment and I don't know why you (Shadow) have so much hate. I really hope you are joking about being a psychologist. I may have a mental illness but I'm not dumb. Despite all the troubles that I've gone through with my condition, all my life I have achieved great success academically and in the career path I have taken. I wasn't asking for pity when I wrote that comment. It's the last thing I want from people to feel sorry for me or anyone else who has Bipolar in that matter. Unless you could prove me otherwise, I do not believe that you are a qualified psychologist. Being a psychologist, you should already know that the basic first thing about the word Bipolar, using hyphen (Bi-polar) is not the correct way of spelling Bipolar. You also should already know, a chemical imbalance in the brain in which is genetic and a fair chance of a woman who has a Bipolar will be passing it down to her kids does not have any similarity to a girl 'just whining'. You really want me to believe that a qualified psychologist who would have taken extensive amount of years studying can easily put a mental illness condition in the same category as an ordinary human being behaviour? How could you have a career and wasted all those years studying about behaviour of people with mental illnesses and mood disorder, when it is very clear that you do not have any interest or passion in the subject and object of your career? I am not doing this because I'm trying to defend myself or people having Bipolar. I would never put to having Bipolar as an excuse to all the mistakes that I've done, hurt or burden that I've caused to the people around me. Mistakes and heartbreaks is still mistakes and heartbreaks whether it was intended or not. Lastly, Dr Shadow, I agree with you that my previous comment/review shouldn't 'move' you to google Bipolar. I thought you would know a hell of a lot of facts about it already considering you are a psychologist. And you can't say you don't even care about them. Reality check for you, without those 'crazies' people, you wouldn't have a career, you wouldn't be a psychologist (if you really are a psychologist).

I'm not going to bother with doing a fail comment on this extremeley long, bulky comment trying to make us feel bad. All i'm going to do is quickly make fun of it. A comment posted by justagirl has her saying that she can "relate" to this song. She goes on saying that she feels the song, and knows what it is about. WOW!
So we have another bi-polar person coming on here and acting like they can relate to a song that has no meaning. This little sad sack is trying to make us care about her. I really couldn't give less of a shit about her. For your info, justagirl, your comment didn't "move me" to google information about bi-polar people, or even care about them. Because i'm a psychologist, and i see crazies like you everyday when i'm not working on one of my books or getting laid and paid by this website, sing365. You need to be locked up.
P.S. Max, why relate to justagirl? She's just a whiny little gal.

Remember to check out some of my books, on sale now!

thats how i feel!!! the song is me, it 'comforts' me. i;m in therapy n shit but not diagnosed. im a good looking guy athletic everyone likes me. but i don;t like them and i feel different than everyone.. idk

You can accept this review as just an opinion, a comment or whatever. But I will tell you the true meaning and facts about the song. And I know, even after reading this, some of you will still argue about the accuracy. First of all, Lithium is a medication, a mood stabillizer to treat someone who has a mental illness called Bipolar Disorder. And no, it does not mean people suffering from it are crazy. Kurt was suffering from it and I am too. I listened to this song for the first time when I was 15 or so and although I didn't understand much of the song, but I 'get' the song. It gave me a sense of comfort. But at 15, I have not been diagnosed to having Bipolar yet. I am now a couple of months away from turning 21 and only about 6 months ago I was diagnosed by my psychologist and psychiatrist that I have been suffering from Bipolar Disorder. It's a lifetime thing. It's always going to be a part of someone who suffers from it. Only a small percentage of the world suffers from it. Now, not only I 'get' this song. I actually understood the whole song. Every single word in the song, I feel it and I've been there. I'm not saying this song is not for you to understand. But unless you suffer from Bipolar Disorder, or you're a psychiatrist or something, you wouldn't really see the song in the same true meaning as Kurt and I do. I am writing this because I could see a lot of people will read this. Hopefully, this will motivate you to google some facts about Bipolars Disorder and educate yourself and other people about this mental illness. Because when people suffer from Bipolar Disorder, a lot of time we feel like we don't fit in, we don't belong and we're not normal as much as we'd like to think we are. And maybe by educating yourself about Bipolar Disorder, you will see this song in a new perspective and have a new and better understanding about this song, as well as Bipolar Disorder. Thank you.
