Wonderland
Null Device Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To the heart that beats inside
I have to wonder what it is,
And what it's really for
Please can you tell me
How you live
How you live your life?
How do you do
How is it
In this wonderland
why am I so unknown?
How is it
in this Wonderland
Why am I never alone?
If actions are a sign
Of the blood that pumps alive
I have to wonder where you go
And what you really are
Please can you tell me
How you read
How you read the lines?
How do you do
The things that you do?
How is it
In this wasted land
That I can be unknown
How is it
In this wasted land
Why am I never alone?
With this form around my head
Made of cloth or steel or skin
I have to wonder what it's worth
And what it's really for
Please can you tell me
How you live
How you live your life?
How do you do
The things that you do?
The lyrics of "Wonderland" by Null Device explore the theme of identity and self-awareness. The singer is questioning the purpose and significance of their own existence, as well as that of the people around them. The first stanza suggests that the choices one makes can reveal their true nature, and the singer wonders what their own choices say about them. They ask the listener to share their own experiences, perhaps hoping to gain some insight into their own identity and purpose in life.
In the chorus, the singer juxtaposes the concept of "Wonderland" with feelings of isolation and loneliness. Wonderland is usually associated with a magical, otherworldly place, but the singer feels unknown and alone even in such a wondrous environment. This could be interpreted as a commentary on society's tendency to isolate individuals despite the vast interconnectedness of the modern world.
The second verse explores the idea that actions can reveal one's true nature, and the singer wonders where other people's actions lead them. They ask for guidance in interpreting the actions of others, hoping to gain a better understanding of the world around them. The final stanza questions the value of physical appearance and asks for insight into how others live their lives.
Overall, "Wonderland" is a song that prompts the listener to examine their identity and how it relates to the people and world around them.
