Theme

There are several themes but the one's that stick out the most are:

• To embrace feeling over numbness.
• don't be afraid to be happy, or to feel loved.
• happiness is a state of mind, not a pill.

Amy Lee said in an interview with VH1 that she had never taken the medication lithium before in her life.

"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."
