Failing The Rorschach Test

drugs? I dunno, but that's the 1st thought that came to my mind. All the Alice and rabbit references, and the "I'm caving in" and wasn't there a guy who took LSD and thought he was an orange and peeled off his skin? I dunno, it's possible, prolly not about that though.

This is a quote from runningforhome.net "Matt had this to say about the song : "Failing The Rorschach Test is an amalgamation behind the whole Alice and Wonderland thing," The "Hey Alice" reference is referring to the Alice character in Alice In Wonderland. The "Rabbit" is also a reference to the same film and childhood story. The Rorschach Test, or commonly known as the Inkblot test, is a test given by health proffessionals to diagnose people, and begin to understand how they interpret things. The patient is given vairous ink "pictures", and told to tell the doctor what he sees. Picture here"

"...thought he was an orange and peeled off his skin?" dear god. no.

I'm almost positive this song came from the Play entitled: Flowers For Algernon. It's about a mentally challenged boy who miraculously gets better and falls in love with Alice, his caretaker. It's obviously problematic for her since he was her patient, and all of a sudden there's an attraction. It doesn't work out in the end, and he ends up in the same mental state as when he started.

Further to that. The title of the song is Failing the Rorscharch Test, which in this story is the main test that Charlie (the mentally challenged kid) has to take. It's a big part of the story actually. Give that's the title of the song, it's got to be from that play.

not to mention Alice is the other characters name that he falls for, when its obviously 'not allowed'

"hey rabbit i came to win"

turrtle and the hare?

"hey rabbit i came to win"

turrtle and the hare?

Rorschach is also a character from Watchmen who's insane, and Alice in Wonderland is insane in itself.

Oh and like Matt Good, Rorschach was bullied as a child.... interesante
