Overall Meaning

The song "Alice" by Pogo is unique in its composition and is a great example of how repetition can be used to convey emotions in a track. The lyrics are simple and repetitive, but they convey a sense of anxiety and fear that the singer is encountering. When it is sung, the phrase "We are in a lot of trouble" is repeated continuously throughout the song. The repetition reinforces the sense of danger the singer is feeling, leading the listener to feel an almost panicked sense of urgency. The singer also comments on their relationship with love, expressing their fear of it and how they don't typically wait for it, but instead encounter it as trouble.


The song's overall theme seems to be aimed at the feelings of unease that can arise from love and anxiety. The use of repetition in the song's lyrics and melody works effectively to demonstrate the obsessive feelings and the anxieties they pull out. The song sounds a bit chaotic, in that it brings together different loops and sounds, which adds a slightly futuristic vibe to the track. It's a very non-linear piece of music, which is perfect in conveying the inner turmoil that the singer is going through.
