I'm aware this comment was made two years ago but I had a similar experience but I was already a huge fan of Shinedown. As they have been my favorite band for about nine years now. And i stumbled upon this song trying to memorize all of their songs and albums to prove a point (i was edgy and filled with vengeance for being disbelieved) and I had never actually heard this song before and once I did I fell in love with it and it was most played song for at least a few months. I feel by now I've failed to make a point to this story I just felt like sharing my experience
So my dad is a singer and he had an upcoming concert and he said he was gonna do a cover of a Shinedown song so I was like oh cool which one? And he then proceeded to screech *HER NAME IS ALLLLLIIIIIIIIIIICEEEEE*
This story is not about a girl losing her virginity. What had inspired Lewis Carroll to write the novels of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was his dean’s daughter Alice. He was very interested in Alice’s emotions and reactions to his stories when he came up with crazy fantasy lands while he would watch over her. He was very amused to find that most other children responded in the same way. He was entertaining them in a way so that they didn’t really need to think. His stories didn't have a moral, they were just plain odd. He simply wanted stories that you didn’t have to think about, to be an outlet for kinds in the high strung area. Carroll’s plot, nor setting, held any form of significance. He simply wanted to make it seem as if the reader stepping into the strange yet beautiful imagination of an innocent child. Carroll managed to get his point through flawlessly and truly transports the reader. The conflict was also based around what a child may see as a conflict. The entire story was solely created to suit a child’s thought on the world. Although I understand that there are many versions of Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll aka Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote the original novel and I'm sick and tired of seeing that it is about a girl losing her virginity.
I don't really think most people see it as a girl loosing her virginity, but a girl escaping into a world of her own where no one can hurt her. A girl escaping into her own little realm where she can have all the freedom she truly wants.
I thought this song was for the incredibly amazing game; Alice: Madness Returns. To be honest, it fits the game much more better than the book. The book is to innocent for this.
"Ah, Alice.. Riddle me this.. We keep you moving when you’re feeling down, we may seem to laze about, but at the end of the day we’re always working to keep you up. Who are we?" - Cheschire Cat, Alice: Madness Returns
You are who you arent or ever will be again, you are me n i am you in the beginnig and the end and presently you are the Mad Hatter who plays inside any vulnerable head calling it tea time instead.
His voice don't get out my head, this song is perfect, his voice is perfect, the lyrics are perfect. "No one can ever hurt you..." "( Thank you for that.
This song reminds me of my sister, consumed by addiction and madness. I sing this song with so much emotion every time because no one else understands that deep, deep, deep beneath the horrible actions and choices she commits to, there is a twelve-year-old girl, begging the addiction which controls her to stop... stop hurting the ones she loves. Her name is Alice in a way. She made the mistake of dipping into this fantasy world, and now she cannot escape... I've made a similar mistake. But I will bring this whole thing down. I will find a way to bring her out of the heroine, the cocaine, the xanax, the ecstasy. I'll dive in, grab her by the collar, and swim to the surface and save my older and only sister. I love you Kaci, and I remember how you listened to this song as you fell deeper and deeper into this lake of addiction. I remember when you ran away, you showed me the song "Call Me" by this very same band. I've cried so many times, wondering where my sister is. These demons which hold you, I'll find them somehow. I'll find what lies beneath your front of thuggish aggression, I'll reach down into your soul and I will bring you out of your own prision. Someday. Somehow. I love you.
I have this on a playlist of other Alice inspired songs so that whenever I play Madness Returns I can truly focus on what I'm doing. It helps a lot, got through a lot of levels this way.
Wow, it's almost like it's a tribute to that game! Just to be clear i'm being sarcastic. Not the hostile kind but just to point something obvious out you missed. There more you know.
I'm officially addicted to this song. I've always loved Shinedown but I hadn't ever listened to this song. It's beautiful in its own way and I wish that they would sing it in concert or at least play it on the radio ❤❤
"If i had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
How come "Alice in Wonderland" seems to be a popular topic for really dark stuff? I mean, we have a ton of songs like this, we have the "Alice" games, and more creepy fan-art than I can count. Is there something I'm just not getting here?
Am I the only one who feels a strong connection to the lines "Stand outside your virtue, no one will ever hurt you?" I don't know if it's because I roleplay very depressing characters or what but those lines just make my heart tug a certain way...
It's what follows that's important; when he says "or so they say." Because, standing outside your virtue is not a good thing. Virtue, is having behavior showing high moral values; So, the fact that he follows that line up with, "or so they say" gives an impression that she hasn't experienced that, it's just what's been said. Just my thoughts
The nostalgia of this song is too much......😢i wanna go back.......this modern world isnt for me ...."living in a new world......with a old soul.......❤
Ok im looking at the comments and most of these are from 1 year ago 2 years ago and even 5 years ago its 2019 is anyone still listening to this awsome song ?😌😌
+Wendy MB I think its hatter but that's my opinion because of the anime books and story it reminds me of that but it could also be Cheshire but I don't think so
I know :D I was going to play the Hatter until our leader realized we didn't have enough people to pull off Alice in Wonderland "Not I, we quarreled last March, just before he went mad you know."
ERMERGERSH!! Your cat sounds so cool!! My cat is white with black patches and bright green eyes. Her name is Pancake but I was hoping to name her Belle or something pretty lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I just witnessed a wintergaurd performance using this song and it was amazing. That was what led me here originally. I could not explain how amazing it was when his voice suddenly appeared- everyone screamed out of shock and the play was outstanding. ❤
Grayson Nico I heard it too. I think it's the same concept as schrodinger's cat experiment. I didn't realize it was there until I read your comment, the same way schro's cat didn't exist until someone let it out of the box.
Kid: What’s her name? Me: Her name is Alice! Kid: Aliceeee? Alice: No just Alice. Kid: oh. Me: YOUR NAME IS ALICE Kid: no it isn’t, my name is John John: How dumb are you?
I think this song is about drug addiction “No such thing as time and every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind” sounds like hallucinations to me “Drank the wine and took the pill” self explanatory “Has locked herself in limbo to se how it truly feels” overdose induced coma “No one can ever hurt you or so they say” promises from your dealer “The curiosity” that gets you to start “Kill the soul but leave the pain” addiction and withdrawals “We se she’s thankfully returned” being revived before it was too late “But now off with her head I fear is everyone’s concern” the fear of her friends and family that she may die “There’s no real ending it’s only the beginning” self explanatory “This kingdom good riddance Her freedom and innocence” her dependence on the drug and lack of freedom or innocence as a result “Eat me drink me” what drugs are practically saying “Fill me to sink me” the high and withdrawals “Red knights white knights marching into the fight” red and white blood cells trying to keep pumping or doctors and emergency staff
To be honest Shinedown's singer Brent is a recovering drug and alcoholic so maybe when he wrote the song it came through as it does with alot of there songs. He still made it for the movie soundtrack.
Lol my name is Alice and I was born around the making of this song. When I first heard it (8 years old) I thought Shinedown was stalking me. So now every time I hear this song I laugh because of that.
You know this reminds me of something I did while locked up in the first psych hospital. I decided that I wanted to understand the difficulties blind people face. So, to pass the time well, I forced myself to make my way around without using my vision for a few days. Very vulnerable feeling it was. Having said that, I miss you Janice Kelley!
What is said in the begining and at the end has that mad hatter poetry, love it "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isnt and contrary wise, what it is it wouldnt be, and what it wouldnt be it would. You see?"
I think Alice has a mental disorder causing her to hallucinate in her sleep, while doing so she goes to Wonderland a world of hallucinations as a way of coping with the grisly truth... (reality).
For almost 5 years, I went bonkers to find this song. My brother played this one night and I've been looking for it! My boyfriend just now sent me this song telling me it's trippy and I flipped my shit! Thank you Alister!!
It isn't really that confusing, I thought it made perfect sense. It was basically a fancy and repetitive way of saying if she had her own world it would be opposite to this one
When it sings "chased the rabbit" I always imagine a lovesick girl chasing a man that keeps running away from her and that's what brings her into drinking wine and taking pills
Yashfi Aariba It's fine...Even if you didn't know the book yourself, it would've been okay. We can't expect AIW to be known all throughout the world. The fact it was never released to some parts of the world make that impossible.
Favorite song. With love to the lyrics and no hate passed thru of it's not loved. Only true respect to those who understand. And those who dont, I can honestly not judge. Rough roads can get easier and the better it gets, the more faith you have. Loyalty even if you don't know what's going on.
My name is Alice so I find songs like this both hilarious and disturbing. I mean, wouldn't you find it a little creepy if people kept on making songs like this and your name was always in them? "HER NAME IS ALIIIIIICE" "I KNOW MY NAME IS ALIIIIIICE!"
My grandmother was alice. And put the Fear in the chp back in the day. Even breathed hemlock after a quadruple heart by pass. . She was a tough old bird. This song reminds me of her. The Auraua bore e Alice..I can still see her name in the lights..
i finally found it!!!! omg i cant believe i found this! i used to sing this at my grandmas house! that was 6 years ago! omg so many memories! thank you!
This reminds me of the conversation between Alice and the Cheshire Cat. "We're all mad here." BTW Anyone know where I can find a faithful adaptation of that scene?
I don't know the true meaning behind this music, but it somehow matches the way I interpretate Alices's books. I always correlact it to the habit I have (and know that many other people also have) to burry myself in fiction, sink in it till the story is all that exists. In those moments, I let all my morals and some of my convictions vanish, incorporating some of the story's morals while I'm at it. I always see Alice as a girl who's drowning at fiction, and the way she faces all the madness of Wonderland with certaing degree of calm is becouse she left behind some of the real world convictions. And I like this music cause I can see in it a bit of my odd interpratation of the story
this song to me seems like hes explaining what a girl went through. that she had her innocence and freedom taken away from her. "to stand outside your virtue, no one can ever hurt you, or so they say" a girl put her trust in someone even though she shouldn't have. "some times the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain" maybe she was intrigued by this person, but that person went so much farther than they should have. could just be me thinking too much into it. but this song helps me through alot most of the time.
(Shinedown's Her Name is Alice) My 6-year old Granddaughter's name is Alice &, she comes in saying," Nana, put my song on!! "I have 4 grandchildren, and plus two 15's in the back of my car, I teach them, just like I taught their mothers' & we byALL Rock out! I play them the Classics and of course the Future Classics, lol. My 4- year -old grandson loves,'Monsters', by Shinedown & 'Voodoo' by God'sSmack, We all blast Five Finger Death Punch, 'Washing it All Away,' & 'This Means War', & 'Hail to the King', it's up to US to keep the REAL MUSIC Playing, or the kids today would just be listening to Snoop Dogg, which really isn't Music at all!! It has it's place, it's just not real music, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, the Temptations, etc, that's the REAL DEAL, Jimmy Hendrix. Black kids shouldn't be turning their backs on their roots, I've noticed alot of young white kids like, Greta Van Fleet kicking ass, , Bad Wolves gives me hope, I wish more Black kids would be picking up the guitar and play and sing like they used too. Rock isn't ever going away!!! But can we say the same thing about Rap??
When I have a kid, or if, I guess, they’ll ask why I named them Alice. I’m just gonna say “Because, *her* name is Alice.” And then it’ll freak them out. So at my funeral, when this starts playing, they’ll understand and be like “why the fuck did my mom freak me out for no reason-“
I remember in my dance studio, a long time ago the most advanced dancers did a routine to this song. I was OBSESSED. I showed my friends and they all said I had a creepy taste in music. Years later, found it again. 😁
The story was not so much about Alice as it was about why the RED queen was off her head. It would have been smarter for the author to do more than identify a situation. So we’ve got Alice, but what could be done about it.
The moral concept even Alice has monsters enterally that are hidden even she forgot about. I don't allow my own demons to even show, I never entertain anyone messing with them at all.
two years ago, i accidentaly clicked on this instead of "Alice In Wonderland" by Avril Lavigne. best mistake of my entire life.
I'm aware this comment was made two years ago but I had a similar experience but I was already a huge fan of Shinedown. As they have been my favorite band for about nine years now. And i stumbled upon this song trying to memorize all of their songs and albums to prove a point (i was edgy and filled with vengeance for being disbelieved) and I had never actually heard this song before and once I did I fell in love with it and it was most played song for at least a few months. I feel by now I've failed to make a point to this story I just felt like sharing my experience
Dude, I clicked it thinking it would be something mellow. Nope. Not at all. Great mistake.
Beautiful song!
Shinedown is one of my all time favorite bands.
😉
"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir," said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see."
Oh, but I am my self you see but you are not your self I see.
Deep
That's one of my favorite quotes from the book. My favorite is "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
I live
So my dad is a singer and he had an upcoming concert and he said he was gonna do a cover of a Shinedown song so I was like oh cool which one? And he then proceeded to screech *HER NAME IS ALLLLLIIIIIIIIIIICEEEEE*

So is he a solo singer or does he have a band?
Lol thats awesome
I wanna know so bad

Seconding what grim2poor said. I collect Alice in Wonderland-themed songs so I could always use more.
I recoment a song called White Rabbit by Egypt Central. Its a really good song and if you havnt heard it, I think you may like it
Amazing gane
I would love to give a listen to that playlist as well 🤘🏻
Alice: Madness Returns. That song's reminds me of Alice: Madness Returns.
This song was MADE for Alice: Madness Returns.
***** i thought it was made for disney's Alice in wonderland (2010) film
Might've been. I'm not too good on pop culture, but I'm fairly sure this song was used in the trailer for Madness Returns.
Same, same!

"If i had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
I was trying to remember what she said there! Thank you!
I'm not even a fan of Alice in Wonderland, but this song is.. Haunting. I can't stop listening to it.

How come "Alice in Wonderland" seems to be a popular topic for really dark stuff? I mean, we have a ton of songs like this, we have the "Alice" games, and more creepy fan-art than I can count. Is there something I'm just not getting here?
Because she embraces what most of us are afraid of: a warped reality that we have no way of controlling.
Also, it's because, from what I've heard, the original book was much darker than what has been depicted.

I think its about addiction (drugs and alcohol) and the escapism it provides
Congrats jenny you have a way of thinking that is purely exceptional you are a good person
Same-
The line "And took the pill" just had me think of The Matrix more than Alice in Wonderland.
This whole song makes me think that Alice of Wonderland is basically just the matrix through the eyes of a younger girl
Did you take the red pill or the blue pill

Here is the original "Alice in Wonderland" story, since so many of you are asking questions.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_wonderland
I read it before,alo through the looking glass. it's good.
also oops
Meribellz the looking glass war is another one about alice but a different arthur.
michelle gibbons No, he was talking about the sequel to Alice written by Lewis Carrol, "Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there".
SpadesNoir oh well there's one book that you should read the one i metion is the looking glass wars its good too
If you knew anything about time, you wouldn't refer to time as 'Thing", it's HIM!
+Carl Bryant Don't hug me I'm scared or the time from the original book
Trinity Southway It's similar to a line fro the play. Alice refers to time as "it" and the Hatter scolds her
Carl Bryant It's from the original book as well. The mad hatter is on the bad side of time so he can't control it.
I know :D I was going to play the Hatter until our leader realized we didn't have enough people to pull off Alice in Wonderland
"Not I, we quarreled last March, just before he went mad you know."
Stop wasting Time!

This should have been the theme song for Madness Returns
Yes
I think this song is about drug addiction
“No such thing as time and every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind” sounds like hallucinations to me
“Drank the wine and took the pill” self explanatory
“Has locked herself in limbo to se how it truly feels” overdose induced coma
“No one can ever hurt you or so they say” promises from your dealer
“The curiosity” that gets you to start
“Kill the soul but leave the pain” addiction and withdrawals
“We se she’s thankfully returned” being revived before it was too late
“But now off with her head I fear is everyone’s concern” the fear of her friends and family that she may die
“There’s no real ending it’s only the beginning” self explanatory
“This kingdom good riddance Her freedom and innocence” her dependence on the drug and lack of freedom or innocence as a result
“Eat me drink me” what drugs are practically saying
“Fill me to sink me” the high and withdrawals
“Red knights white knights marching into the fight” red and white blood cells trying to keep pumping or doctors and emergency staff
Or not
Just a thought
@@markusallen102 An excellent thought bruh
To be honest Shinedown's singer Brent is a recovering drug and alcoholic so maybe when he wrote the song it came through as it does with alot of there songs. He still made it for the movie soundtrack.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS. MY GOD. YOU ARE LIKE CASTIEL. THANK YOU.
SamIsHere Castiel?? Angel Cas???
Ah I love this metaphor
Supernatural is pretty nice
Hey people this is the first time I’ve ever heard this song and it’s super good :)
HOW DID I NOT HEARD THIS BEFORE !??
Dazzy The Normling exactly
Just out of curiousity. For anyone keeping up with the show, does this remind you of Emma in OUAT?
Kind off
Anyone else get creeped out by listening to this one and/or reading Through the Looking Glass? (the original Alice In Wonderland)
King Black The original is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". "Through the Looking Glass" is the sequel.
If i were giving birth I'd want to call her Alice and have this song playing, so I could sing/ scream HER NAME IS ALIIIICE
I speak in riddles.
They rhyme sometimes.
That is when the most important things are said.
Lol my name is Alice and I was born around the making of this song. When I first heard it (8 years old) I thought Shinedown was stalking me. So now every time I hear this song I laugh because of that.
Been listening to this since early high school, never gets old!
You know this reminds me of something I did while locked up in the first psych hospital. I decided that I wanted to understand the difficulties blind people face. So, to pass the time well, I forced myself to make my way around without using my vision for a few days. Very vulnerable feeling it was. Having said that, I miss you Janice Kelley!
isn't this the same font as on coraline and alice in wonderland
also isn't Alice in wonderland and Coraline alot alike
in a way yes. But in a way no- depends on how you see the worlds
Yes and no, but now I want a crossover of this
Ludwig Beilschmidt germane hi
Cutecat 123456 hello
What is said in the begining and at the end has that mad hatter poetry, love it
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isnt and contrary wise, what it is it wouldnt be, and what it wouldnt be it would. You see?"
I think Alice has a mental disorder causing her to hallucinate in her sleep, while doing so she goes to Wonderland a world of hallucinations as a way of coping with the grisly truth... (reality).
Try looking up "Alice in Wonderland Syndrome "
For almost 5 years, I went bonkers to find this song. My brother played this one night and I've been looking for it! My boyfriend just now sent me this song telling me it's trippy and I flipped my shit! Thank you Alister!!
I just discovered this song in 2022 :/... Can't imagine the kind of person I would have been if I was listening to this in 2012
soemtimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain

+Trinity Bailey but now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern
+Undertale Trash You see, there's no real ending
+Tristen DeVore Come out and play
+Sara Smith acully it's true curiosity can kill.
am I the only one who understands what Alice is saying? I see the reason in her nonsense. anyone else?
Poison Rose yes I see the reason in her nonsense 2
It isn't really that confusing, I thought it made perfect sense. It was basically a fancy and repetitive way of saying if she had her own world it would be opposite to this one
Don't worry Tyler, I'm using my glutes true
I understand perfectly! Not really difficult to guess it. It makes sense
Poison Rose I do but most people think I'm insane
When it sings "chased the rabbit" I always imagine a lovesick girl chasing a man that keeps running away from her and that's what brings her into drinking wine and taking pills

+Yashfi Aariba STUPID IDIOT STUPID
Yashfi Aariba It's fine...Even if you didn't know the book yourself, it would've been okay. We can't expect AIW to be known all throughout the world. The fact it was never released to some parts of the world make that impossible.
Favorite song. With love to the lyrics and no hate passed thru of it's not loved. Only true respect to those who understand. And those who dont, I can honestly not judge. Rough roads can get easier and the better it gets, the more faith you have. Loyalty even if you don't know what's going on.
My name is Alice so I find songs like this both hilarious and disturbing. I mean, wouldn't you find it a little creepy if people kept on making songs like this and your name was always in them?
"HER NAME IS ALIIIIIICE"
"I KNOW MY NAME IS ALIIIIIICE!"
I used to listen to this all the time but one day it disappeared from my brain. I just found it again
I listen to this when I go to sleep. That’s how good it is.
My grandmother was alice. And put the Fear in the chp back in the day. Even breathed hemlock after a quadruple heart by pass. . She was a tough old bird. This song reminds me of her. The Auraua bore e Alice..I can still see her name in the lights..
This would make a great Tim Burton's musical
I may be a kid but I LOVE Shinedown so MUCH. I Have listened to them since I was atleast since I was 1 or younger and I am 10
This is the song I was listening to when my dad caught me smoking
Love Shinedown....and so going down that Rabbit Hole right about now in this year..........FAKE! is what im living....Flat Earth..........
I don’t wanna talk about where I was recommended this song but glad I checked it out it’s a banger
i finally found it!!!! omg i cant believe i found this! i used to sing this at my grandmas house! that was 6 years ago! omg so many memories! thank you!
This reminds me of the conversation between Alice and the Cheshire Cat.
"We're all mad here."
BTW Anyone know where I can find a faithful adaptation of that scene?
this song makes me realize just how small our part in life truly is but just how big we will always be in our own time and I love it.
In loving memory of Alice: Asylum. We're so sorry, American. You deserved a billion times better.
I made it my song ...I look at this piece and see myself reliving some bad / good times...in my life...and I'm still here 👍😁✌️❤️
It's such a GOOD SONG! WHY DOES NO ONE KNOW ABOUT
when I first heard this I wasn't much of a fan but the more I listen the more I love it.
Alpha Rayquaza sammee
Anyone else besides me listening to this amazing gem of a song in 2022?
my cousin was 12 when he died and this song is all i got to rember him😢😢
rip
🙏🙏
This Video Is 12 Years Old But Still Loving It!😊
I don't know the true meaning behind this music, but it somehow matches the way I interpretate Alices's books. I always correlact it to the habit I have (and know that many other people also have) to burry myself in fiction, sink in it till the story is all that exists. In those moments, I let all my morals and some of my convictions vanish, incorporating some of the story's morals while I'm at it. I always see Alice as a girl who's drowning at fiction, and the way she faces all the madness of Wonderland with certaing degree of calm is becouse she left behind some of the real world convictions. And I like this music cause I can see in it a bit of my odd interpratation of the story
this song to me seems like hes explaining what a girl went through. that she had her innocence and freedom taken away from her. "to stand outside your virtue, no one can ever hurt you, or so they say" a girl put her trust in someone even though she shouldn't have. "some times the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain" maybe she was intrigued by this person, but that person went so much farther than they should have.
could just be me thinking too much into it. but this song helps me through alot most of the time.
2021. Still listening? This is a masterpiece.
Song actually starts here 0:21
Song actually starts here 0:02
Sorry but it's annoying for people who have to hear the same intro over & over again, they want to listen to the actual song, not Alice talking.
Found it again! It's good to be back.
Same.
Same
I'M BACKK
If ur still listening in 2021.
Ur a fucking legend.
(Shinedown's Her Name is Alice) My 6-year old Granddaughter's name is Alice &, she comes in saying," Nana, put my song on!! "I have 4 grandchildren, and plus two 15's in the back of my car, I teach them, just like I taught their mothers' & we byALL Rock out! I play them the Classics and of course the Future Classics, lol. My 4- year -old grandson loves,'Monsters', by Shinedown & 'Voodoo' by God'sSmack, We all blast Five Finger Death Punch, 'Washing it All Away,' & 'This Means War', & 'Hail to the King', it's up to US to keep the REAL MUSIC Playing, or the kids today would just be listening to Snoop Dogg, which really isn't Music at all!! It has it's place, it's just not real music, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, the Temptations, etc, that's the REAL DEAL, Jimmy Hendrix. Black kids shouldn't be turning their backs on their roots, I've noticed alot of young white kids like, Greta Van Fleet kicking ass, , Bad Wolves gives me hope, I wish more Black kids would be picking up the guitar and play and sing like they used too. Rock isn't ever going away!!! But can we say the same thing about Rap??
You sound like an awesome grandma.
There is no real ending
+Wendy MB it's only the begging
Come out and playyyyy...
Her name is Alice!
Remus Royalty
She climbs into the window through shapes and shadows
@@vampirekisserr Aliceeeeeee!
Keep on replaying this I love this song!
This song for some reason made me cry happy tear's....um can anyone explain why?
Unicorn_Chibi Love it's too amazing to take in all at once, cause it's happening to me too
It's the intense emotion of the lyrics. You're not alone.
When I have a kid, or if, I guess, they’ll ask why I named them Alice. I’m just gonna say “Because, *her* name is Alice.” And then it’ll freak them out. So at my funeral, when this starts playing, they’ll understand and be like “why the fuck did my mom freak me out for no reason-“
I remember in my dance studio, a long time ago the most advanced dancers did a routine to this song. I was OBSESSED. I showed my friends and they all said I had a creepy taste in music. Years later, found it again. 😁
The story was not so much about Alice as it was about why the RED queen was off her head. It would have been smarter for the author to do more than identify a situation. So we’ve got Alice, but what could be done about it.
The moral concept even Alice has monsters enterally that are hidden even she forgot about.
I don't allow my own demons to even show, I never entertain anyone messing with them at all.
