| Jefferson Airplane – White Rabbit Lyrics
| 15 years ago
|
Wow - why do some people feel they can just make shit up? Don't you care that you're proving yourself to be a bit stupid?
This song is inspired by the BOOKS by Lewis Carrol - Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, the former written in 1865. The movie came out a fucking hundred years later. These books were not written on drugs or about drugs, especially not LCD, which was only invented in 1943. Although opium, coke and laudanum were all legal and used as medicine in Carrol's time there is NO evidence that he ever partook in drugs. There might be drug references in the book (especially the caterpillar smoking hookah on a mushroom), but it was certainly not written on or about drugs. The story was conceived on a boat-ride with a friend and 3 young girls, one of them called Alice, whom he might or might not have been sticking it too, as he might or might not have been a dirty pedophile.
The book Go Ask Alice was written AFTER this song came out, and the title was inspired by this song, even though that book is an ANTI-drug story, where White Rabbit is a story about tripping your tits off on acid.

oh how I love when different people I admire also admire each other.
Bret Easton Ellis is awesome, so I watched the movie (which is kinda shitty but Shannyn Sossamon is the most beautiful human being ever), which reminded me of this Cure song I haven't listened to in years, and this song (as mentioned by PongBoy) is about my favourite book of ALL TIME, The Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart.
Read it. No seriously, fucking read it. |

Do yourself a favor and check out Neil Patrick Harris singing this on Youtube. It's from the show Glee which I fucking hate but NPH is a legend and his voice is awesome. |

| The Lawrence Arms – 100 Resolutions Lyrics

brilliant. not really written as a motivational song, but it sure plays like one. I think the line "wake up knowing you'll never be there," is the most important and powerful in the song. And it's so about me a few years beack, trying to get over losing someone, making a 100 resolutions but never following through with them. "i've got one song i write 100 times and only a dozen or so rhymes" probably refer to him having difficulty in writing new material (obviously this is not true), which is also a by-product of the stagnant, yet slowly declining rut the protagonist's life has become. |
