Many people today talk about “the rabbit hole”, in a reference to Alice in Wonderland. In an anti-establishment interpretation of Jefferson Airplane’s song “White Rabbit”:
- Pills are propaganda
- Rabbits are ‘truth’
- Men on the chessboard = Security Services
- White Knight = Media
- Red Queen = Political leadership
- “Feed your head” is an anthem of resistance
Because the dormouse said:If you’re not going to be civil, you can finish the story for yourself.
If you are going to have any hope of defeating establishment propaganda and controlling your own destiny, you must “feed your head” with knowledge.
The Song:
One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don’t do anything at allGo ask Alice, when she’s ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you’re going to fall
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the callAnd call Alice, when she was just small
When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
And you’ve just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving lowGo ask Alice, I think she’ll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head
