  General Comment:About the bipolar thing: Amy specifically said that she wasn't bipolar and that "Lithium" wasn't about the drug. But that's the great thing about art: you can interpret it however you want to, and what it means to you isn't necessarily what it means to the artist. =)
  
  And I like The Open Door. It's got Lithium, Sweet Sacrifice, Like You, Good Enough, and this song. Sure, it's maybe a very close third behind Fallen and Origin, but it's still a good album. I think the change in sound is mainly due to a change in Amy's psyche. For example, Sweet Sacrifice was written as the last song about the bad relationship that Fallen was based on. Significant difference.

  General Comment:I actually don't like this song that much. She sings alot with that strange unreal voice. I only like the parts where she sings: 'Guess it wasn't real after all. Guess it wasn't real all along.'
  
  I like Fallen songs, I like Open Door songs, I like Origin songs... But not all. I don't like Going Under from Fallen, I don't like Forgive me from Origin, I don't like this song from The Open Door. That's cool, there are lots of other songs I do love.

  General Comment:It's just this one thing about this song that I don't get.
  Why did Amy call it Cloud Nine? I mean, being on cloud number nine means you're euphoric, but the whole song is just so aggressive and sad.
  My own suggestion is that it's mainly about this part:
  
  "I don't need to touch the sky
  I just want to feel that high
  and you refuse to lift me"
  
  Like the person she's in a relationship with is supposed to "lift her on cloud nine" (to make her happy and euphorically in love), but he refuses (or is unable) to do so.
  
  Any other suggestions?

  Song Meaning:This song, in my opinion, is definitely about the mania of bipolar disorder. She has another song on this album called "lithium", a drug to treat bipolar, which is why I can be so confident this is what it's about. I also deal with bipolar myself, so I can relate.
  When you're manic, you're not rational, but you think that EVERYTHING is better. You think that situations are different than they are and that EVERYTHING will work out the way you want it to. (Cloud nine).
  "If I fall and all is lost no light to lead the way" When you "fall" or go into the depression from mania, not only do you realize that the things you thought were okay in mania are not, but it's the other extreme. EVERYTHING'S WRONG. Nothing will work out. Thus, all is lost.
  "Remember that all alone is where I belong". It's the most lonely feeling because you realize at some point that the truth gets swallowed up in the mania and depression.
  Also "I don't want to touch the sky I just want to feel that high". She realizes the mania is a lie, but the feeling is addictive.
  Hope this helps. :)

  General Comment:i love this song. :)
  "in a dream, will you give your LOVE to me?
  Beg my broken heart to beat,
  save my life change my mind"
  
  It's like at the end asking him/ her why? it seemed as if she/ he was i LOVE with you, but i guess
  it was all a dream (fake or played off for so long)
  But still you want to hear this person tell you they LOVE you at least once more... i hate this.
  Im in a "cloud nice" situation right now :(
  he just told me that he's with me but we have nothing left or actualy he's got nothing left
  to offer.... m***er f*k*r!!!! aaagh! SEE AMY LEE (and co-writers) KNOW how to creat such sad emoctions and situations into beautiful melodies,
  for more obscure the meaning its always beautiful♥♥♥ ok im done. im gonna go cry 2 the bathroom LMFAO!
  
  oh yeah no spell chk i suk xD

  General Comment:Amy Lee has said time and time again, their songs are really not Christian based.
  
  "There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience." -Amy Lee
