White Rabbit
Damned The Lyrics

One pill makes you larger
There is a type of pill that makes you feel physically larger

And one pill makes you small
There is a type of pill that makes you feel physically smaller

And the ones that mother gives you
The pills that your parents give you may not always work as intended

Don't do anything at all
These pills may not have any effect on you

Go ask Alice
Consult someone who is experienced or knowledgeable on the subject

When she's ten feet tall
When Alice is feeling particularly confident or powerful

And if you go chasing rabbits
If you pursue something that may be difficult or dangerous

And you know you're going to fall
And you know that there will be negative consequences

Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Blame your actions on something or someone else, who may not be real or tangible

Has given you the call
As if you were summoned to do something

Call Alice
Ask Alice for advice

When she was just small
When Alice was inexperienced or naive

When the men on the chessboard
When the external forces around you appear to be controlling you

Get up and tell you where to go
Tell you what actions to take or what direction to move in

And you've just had some kind of mushroom
When you are under the influence of drugs or other mind-altering substances

And your mind is moving slow
When your thoughts are muddled or slowed down

Go ask Alice
Consult Alice for advice

I think she'll know
Alice may be able to guide you or help you make sense of things

When logic and proportion have fallen [unverified] dead
When things no longer make sense or follow a rational pattern

And the white knight is talking backwards
When someone who should be reliable is no longer making sense

And the red queen's lost her head
When a figure of authority has become irrational or unstable

Remember what the dormouse said
Recall the advice or wisdom of someone or something considered insignificant

Feed your head, feed your head
Take care of your mind and feed it with knowledge, information, and healthy habits

One pill makes you nervous
There is a type of pill that can make you feel anxious or uneasy

And one pill makes you fall
There is a type of pill that can make you lose consciousness or fall asleep

And the ones that you've been taking
The pills that you have been consuming

Won't do you any good at all
May not have the intended effect or may be harmful

She just hit the floor
She has overdosed or taken a dangerous amount of drugs

Now you said, you could take it
You expressed confidence about being able to handle something

But when your habit does all the talking
When your addiction takes over and controls your actions and choices

Yeah, you'd say anything
You may make false promises or lie to continue feeding your addiction

You could ask Alice
You could seek Alice's counsel and guidance

But I think she's gone
Alice is not available or may no longer be capable of helping

Now you've just lost all your money
You have spent all your resources on sustaining your addiction

And you've been thrown out of your home
You have lost the support and stability of your living situation

But for that one more gram of cocaine
Despite the devastating consequences, you may still crave another hit of a harmful substance

You'd sell your very soul
You may be willing to go to any length or sacrifice anything to satisfy your addiction

Well, now she knows
Alice is aware of the devastating effects of addiction

She's living in a dreamworld
Addicts may have a distorted view of the world, where their addiction consumes them

And [unverified]
This may be alluding to the unpredictable and chaotic nature of addiction

But you'd better pull yourself together
You need to regain control of yourself and take ownership of your choices

'Cause this is reality
Despite the allure of addiction or escape, you must face and engage with the real world

But I think that you'd might be
It is possible that your actions could lead to your downfall or demise

Better off dead, use your head
It may be better for you to stop before it is too late and prioritize your wellbeing and safety

Use your head, use your head
Think critically and make wise decisions to avoid the dangers of addiction
