Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Ah-ah-ah-oh, ah-ah-ah
Set me free
Ah-ah-ah-oh, ah-ah-ah

Could you pull me out of this alive?
Ah-ah-ah-oh, ah-ah-ah
Where's my body? I'm stuck in my mind
Ah-ah-ah-oh, 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

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
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Think I might have 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 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

Overall Meaning

In Lady Gaga's song "Alice," which is featured on the deluxe edition of her sixth studio album "Chromatica," the singer creates a parallel between herself and the fictional character from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Gaga sings, "My name isn't Alice, but I'll keep looking for Wonderland," expressing her desire to escape reality and find a better, more surreal world. Throughout the song, she seems to be struggling with her inner demons and the darkness within her mind, as indicated by lines such as "Where's my body? I'm stuck in my mind." The lyrics suggest that she is tired of screaming and crying out for help, but she is determined to find her way out of her own mental labyrinth.


The chorus of the song repeatedly begs to be taken to Wonderland, which could represent a mental state of freedom, creativity and happiness or anything else that she yearns for. The song has a steady beat accompanied by synths and electronic flourishes that are characteristic of Gaga's dance-pop style. The lyrics are filled with imagery that depicts the dreamy and fantastical world of Wonderland, such as "Maestro, play me your symphony, I will listen to anything," which conjures up thoughts of a fantastical orchestra. Gaga's vocals paint the image of a person who is looking to go beyond their own reality and find a better, more magical place.

Imagine a music video where she falls into the rabbit hole and ends up in chromatica and there are so many futuristic but also modern aesthetics all over the place

@NobleWolf33

I hope this is a single

@sophiasilva3622
