Wonderland
Rachel Fuller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a little box in the corner
Wrapped nicely to entice you and draw you in
There's a note saying "Eat me"
And against your better judgment
You have to look inside
But before you walk away
Won't you take me in
Won't you hear me when I say

I will hold you, I will catch you
When you feel like you're falling
When you feel like you're falling

And I will be near you, I will hear you
When you are calling
When you are calling

There's a bottle on the table with a label saying "drink me"
Will you cross the line
And you know you've been here a thousand times before intoxicated on the floor
Will you reach back for more
Cause pretty labels, pretty eyes

Will always hit me tight
Will you hear me when I say

I will hold you, I will catch you
When you feel like you're falling
When you feel like you're falling
And I will be near you, I will hear you
When you are calling

Eat me, drink me, win me, lose me
Either way you have to choose me
Eat me, drink me, love me, hate me
Either way you can't escape me

I will hold you, I will catch you
When you feel like you're falling
When you feel like you're falling
And I will be near you, I will hear you




When you are calling
When you are calling

Overall Meaning

The song "Wonderland" by Rachel Fuller talks about the temptation of a little box and a bottle with notes saying "Eat me" and "Drink me", respectively. The lyrics suggest that the listener is being pulled towards them by an irresistible force, even if it is against their better judgment. The artist talks about how even though people might have been in this situation before, they would still reach back for more because the pretty labels and eyes always hit them tight. But the artist wants the listener to know that she will hold them and catch them when they fall, and she will be there to hear them when they call.


The lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for life and the many temptations that come our way. The box and bottle can be seen as symbols for various opportunities that present themselves to us, and the pretty labels and eyes could represent things that look good on the surface but might not be as good for us when we dig deeper. The artist is reminding us that even when we give in to these temptations, we are never alone, and there is always someone who will be there to catch us when we fall.
