The lyrics in the song are pretty much self explanatory, and represent the world of Wonderland, and what it is like, (e.g.'..there is no such thing as time'), and so our video will pretty much mirror the lyrics. The song is very dramatic and theatrical, but also with dark tones in its alternative genre, with the use of deep vocals, guitars, melodic piano, deep bass and a lot of the use of cymbals on the drums. The use of a girl (assumably 'Alice') speaking words that are well-known quotes from the book by Lewis Carroll, means the song can be interpreted more like the narrative of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which gives us a good advantage to use this as speech in our narrative style video.
Her Name Is Alice lyrics:
("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")
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
Or so they say
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming, she knows
Sometimes the curiosity can kill the soul but leave the pain
And every ounce of innocence is left inside her brain
And through the looking glass we see she's painfully returned
But now off with her head I fear is everyone's concern
You see there's no real ending
It's only the beginning
Come out and play
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning for you
This kingdom,
Good riddance,
Good freedom
And innocence
Has brought this whole thing down
Her name is Alice (Alice)
She crawls into to the window
Through shapes and shadows
Alice (Alice)
And even though she's dreaming
She's unlocked the meaning
("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")
("Red nights, white knights, marching into the fight")
("Drink me, shrink me, fill me to sink me")
She's unlocked the meaning for you
("And contrariwise, what it is it wouldn't be")
("And what it wouldn't be it would")
("You see?")
("Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't")
I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time
And every creature lends themselves to change your state of mind
And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill
Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels
To stand outside your virtue
No one can ever hurt you
