Eat Me Alice ruminates on the experience of growing up in a world where female identifying people are bombarded with society’s misogynistic expectation and highly sexualised messaging. Drawing on the classic yet unnerving children’s story Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, the song incorporates many direct quotes from the book, exposing and lending new meaning to the story in a digital age.
lyrics
Eat Me Alice
----------
Don’t you want to eat me Alice?
Snuggle up in an old brown shoe.
It’s an ugly world out there,
You’re safe with me, there’s room for two.
You can even stay a while, dear,
Learn the rules and run the race.
I’m sure that we can find a place for you,
Such a little girl, such a pretty face.
Did I get lost in the woods?
Did I change in the night?
Nothing here is as it should be,
I’m all too hot and too tight.
This world is a wilderness,
I never was so small as this before.
I just want to play in the garden.
But I’m too big to fit under the door.
Don’t you want to eat me Alice?
Slide me down like a warm wet fish.
Would it hurt to give a little smile?
A little fishy makes a lovely dish.
I bet you’d make a tender mother,
You could meet Mr Crocodile,
And see how cheerfully he seems to grin,
To welcome little oysters in.
This world’s full of savages,
Though they may seem well to do.
There may be kings in their cabbages,
Just one or two.
I know there is another shore
Beyond the other side.
Where all the waistcoat buttons
Can come undone and hide.
Down where the orchids sleep
To bloom before their Queen
They say she wakes in summer
And dresses all in green.
Come Captor, Seducer and Daughter of Eve
You have poisoned the apple and painted my leaves.
All our ochre Octobers burn in ebony.
Don’t you want to eat me Alice?
Lay me down in the bones and beaks
We could reel and writhe away
Pull his tail and see if it squeaks.
And don’t you even want to try it Alice?
Have a drag and take a slice.
I can show you where The Serpent keeps
his sulky moons and sugar mice.
Shut me up like a telescope,
I’m no good for looking through.
Seal me up in an envelope,
That’s thick with glue.
I’ll try another day,
I’m not myself you see.
There has to be another way
To reach the key?
Loris and the Lion weave gentle tales of joy and loss; a patchwork of sonic delights built by (wo)man and machine to soothe
the soul and feed the heart.
A duo from Liverpool, navigating life together accompanied by: fairytales; folktales; lifetales.
Calling to mind the sounds and spirit of Joanna Newsom, Tori Amos and Jesca Hoop....more
I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug.
But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent. Mayana
I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew.
I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard. Mayana
