创作背景
《Alice》向著名小说《爱丽丝漫游仙境》致敬。故事里年轻的爱丽丝睡着了,她在一个概念化的幻想世界中醒来,里面的每个人物都代表着生活中需要克服的障碍。这首歌最初被认为有关于Gaga于2013年去世的宠物狗Alice,但在接受Zane Lowe采访时Gaga否认了这一点。在整首歌曲中,Gaga将她无法在生活中找到平静的经过和爱丽丝需要在成长和维持心灵平静的艰辛中生存下来的经历联系了起来。
歌曲歌词
[Intro]
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland, Wonderland
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
Set me free (Ah-ah-ah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
Set me free (Ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 1]
Could you pull me out of this alive? (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
Where's my body? I'm stuck in my mind (Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
(Oh ma-ma-ma, oh ma-ma-ma)
I'm tired of screaming
(Oh-ma-ma-ma, oh-ma-ma-ma)
At the top of my lungs
(Oh m-mother, oh m-mother)
I'm in the hole, I'm falling down, down
So down, down
[Chorus]
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland, Wonderland
[Post-Chorus]
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
[Verse 2]
Sick and tired of waking up
Screaming at the top of my lungs
Think I might've just left myself behind
Maestro, play me your symphony
I will listen to anything
Take me on a trip, DJ, free my mind
[Chorus]
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland
My name isn't Alice
But I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking for Wonderland, Wonderland
[Post-Chorus]
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
Take me home
Take me to Wonderland, Wonderland
[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
Set me free (Ah-ah-ah)
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah (Ah)
Set me free (Ah-ah-ah)
