JusKeepBreathin 19,311 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 In the story Alice in Wonderland, I always thought of Wonderland as place of conflict and hard choices. Alice tries to fit in as best as she can. She befriends the natives tho she never really understands their behavior as she navigates through Wonderland. Also, battling the Queen of Hearts. They are metaphors for the hard choices Alice makes in her real life and the conflict within her own heart. So what is Wonderland in the song Alice?

Bling 31,385 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Wonderland is the place better than the hell she's in right now. Which she talks about throughout the album. But it can also be interpreted as she will continue chasing different highs through alcohol, drugs, relationships, career, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Oliver 22,173 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don’t think it’s such a literal reference, I think she means to find a good place where she can be at peace and enjoy life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The freedom to make her own choices? Whether it be alcohol, drugs or relationships and career.

Gagaism 11,779 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I don’t know but it’s just interesting how she starts looking for Wonderland and ends in Babylon, her mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it can be a complex meaning because as we see throughout the album, there's a large part of her that enjoys the aspects of being a pop star and being famous. (Or GAGA favors it, and Stefani tolerates it) So I think it can also be about resting your mind (DJ free my mind) It's about dancing through your pain and hoping you find resolution Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewUsername 11,405 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 As she also said in several interviews, she's not perfect and she's not always happy, but she'll keep looking and wishing for that "place", "the good place". Again her radical acceptance, while still being hopeful and looking forward to feeling better etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I have to go back and relisten to Babylon to understand Babylon a little more too TBH. Gaga just doesn't seem like the type to chase happiness. She seems happiest in the struggle.
