Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Where's my body? I'm stuck in my mind
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Oh ma-ma-ma, oh ma-ma-ma)
I'm tired of screaming
(Oh-ma-ma-ma, oh-ma-ma-ma)
At the top of my lungs
(Oh my mother, oh my mother)
I'm in the hole, I'm falling down, down
So down, down, down
My, my, my name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Sick and tired of waking up
Screamin' at the top of my lungs
Think I might've just left myself behind
Maestro, play me your symphony
I will listen to anything
Take me on a trip, DJ, free my mind
My name-name, my name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (ah)
Set me free (ah-ah-ah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah (ah)
Set me free (ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
(Ah, ah-ah-ah)
The lyrics of "Alice" by LSDXOXO center around the feeling of being trapped in one's mind and the desire to escape to a better place. The singer is asking for someone to help them escape their current mindset and take them to Wonderland, which is symbolic of a place where they can find happiness and freedom. The repetition of "Take me home, take me to Wonderland," emphasizes the singer's desperation to escape their current reality. They are tired of screaming and feeling stuck in their own thoughts, and they want someone to guide them to a better mental state.
The reference to Alice is also symbolic. Alice in Wonderland is a classic children's book about a girl who falls down a rabbit hole and enters a fantasy world. The book is often interpreted as a commentary on the difficulties of growing up and the confusion and chaos that can come with it. In the context of this song, the reference to Alice could mean that the singer is going through a similar transition in their own life and is struggling to come to terms with it.
Overall, "Alice" is a poignant and relatable song about the desire to escape the difficulties of life and find a better place.
