Wonderland
Kendall Payne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Satisfied with Wonderland
And all it's wonder?
Cause if you're not, you know I
money-back guarantee at the door.
Going blind to the pain,
Going deaf to the sight,
Going down to the cry,
Of the innocent life.
I read the paper,
And I drank all the juice
In my refrigerator, now I'm
Starved for knowledge,
Thirsty for the truth.
And in the pages I could
Sense all the longing in the world
I close my eyes, cause I'm longing too.
Going blind to the pain,
Going deaf to the sight,
Going down to the cry,
Of the innocent life.
Who knows your name,
anymore, anymore?
I'll say your name,
forever more, forever more.
Blind to the pain,
Going deaf to the sight,
Going down to the cry,
Of the innocent life,
Of the innocent life.
In Kendall Payne's song "Wonderland," the lyrics are a reflection on the bleak state of the world and society, and a plea for change. The song begins with Alice, a reference to Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland," which represents a place of wonder and magic. However, the lyrics suggest that even this magical place may not be enough to satisfy our desires or longing for something meaningful in life.
The song's chorus describes the need to shut out the pain and suffering of the world, to become blind to the pain and deaf to the sight. The cry of the innocent life is a reminder of the world's injustices and the need for change. The second verse seems to be a personal response to the state of the world, with Payne feeling overwhelmed by the sadness and despair. The paper and juice represent a fleeting distraction, but the thirst for knowledge and truth remains unquenched.
The final lines are a call to action, to remember those who are forgotten and to speak their names forevermore. The repetition of "Going blind to the pain, going deaf to the sight" brings the focus back on the message of shutting out the world's suffering while avoiding any action. Ultimately, the song seems to ask if Wonderland, or any other escape, could ever satisfy or bring true peace.
