White Rabbit
Jefferson & Airplane Lyrics

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
There are drugs in this world which can make you feel bigger, and others which will cause you to feel smaller.

And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all
The drugs that are given as medicine don't have any extreme effects, both good or bad.

Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall
Alice is someone who has taken drugs and reached a state of mental or physical growth, which make her seem ten feet tall.

And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
If you try to catch an idea in your head, but you know it's not solid or clear, you will lose control of your thoughts.

Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call
Tell the people around you that you have been influenced by a wise, old weed-smoking caterpillar, who has given you insight into the world.

He called Alice, when she was just small
Alice used to be naive to the harsh realities of the world, but the hookah-smoking caterpillar opened her mind to new possibilities.

When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
When people in positions of power try to dictate your life decisions, it feels like you're being moved around like a chess piece.

And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low
If you've recently taken mushrooms, your brain is working slower, and you're having trouble focusing or thinking critically.

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know
Alice is experienced with drug-induced situations, so she is the best person to ask for advice on how to deal with such experiences.

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
When everything that used to make sense in your world has stopped working, and chaos has taken over.

And the White Knight is talking backwards
When even the people you thought were heroes, such as the White Knight, have lost their grounding and started speaking in riddles, you know things are in a state of disarray.

And the Red Queen's off with her head
Even authority figures, like the Red Queen who had the power to execute, have lost their minds and become untrustworthy.

Remember what the Dormouse said
Remember the little bits of wisdom that you've picked up along the way, or the nuggets given to you by sources you may not have initially considered. They can be useful at any time.

Feed your head, feed your head
Keep your mind engaged and active by continuing to gain knowledge, learn new ideas, and stay curious about the world.
