“Alice“:
The song explores emotional struggle and escapism, portraying a character who retreats into an imaginary world as a way to cope with inner difficulties. The figure of Alice symbolizes someone who feels lost or overwhelmed and therefore escapes into fantasy, where reality feels easier to handle. The name and imagery are partly inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, which represents the idea of falling into a different world. Through this character, the song touches on themes of identity, loneliness, and the search for genuine human connection.
Lyrics of “Alice”:
Alice
Your pretty green eyes are magic
My precious prize, I’ve studied your ways
The way you behave
Can I spill my secrets to you?
Alice
Let me inside, I promise
I’ll be polite, no, I won’t make a mess
Why you looking so stressed?
Just let me talk to you
I’ve been watching you
I know you really, really love me, don’t lie
Know you gotta, gotta give it some time
So honey, don’t cry
Honey, don’t cry
Alice
Don’t you be scared, be honest
I live in your head, oh, I’m lonely too
This world’s been so cruel
I’ve been here waiting for you
Alice
Stop knocking on that door, don’t panic
Lay low on the floor, you’re safe in my arms
No, I’d never harm a hair on your head because
I’m in love with you
I know you really, really love me, don’t lie
Only gotta, gotta give it some time
So honey, don’t cry
Honey, don’t cry
‘Cause I know you really, really love me inside
Only gotta, gotta give it some time
So honey, don’t cry
Honey, don’t cry
Alice
The light in my life has vanished
Please open your eyes, why are you turning cold
From feather to ѕtone?
Baby, don’t leave me аlone
