(Submit New Jefferson Airplane Lyrics) (Submit New Jefferson Airplane Lyrics) a few little facts | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane Some interesting theories here but what Grace Slick was implying in this song is that.. when you are a child your parents read stories to you about a girl taking pills and becoming larger (then smaller), a hookah smoking caterpiller, Peter pan sprinking dust and then you can fly ect.. Then when you become an adult they wonder why you are strung out on drugs. Though in fact Grace was an alcoholic and not a druggie, rather strange for the sixties. hmm | Reviewer: brunetteballa@hotmail.com ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane You Guys Say This Song Isnt About Drugs, But It Certainly Sounds Like It, -"and you just ate some kind of mushroom" none of us are the writier of this song, so we wont truly know, sure well have our guesses..but we wont fully know Hmm. | Reviewer: Malice ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane I think that this song doesn't matter what it's about. People sitting here arguing about it is simply silly. We should all just enjoy it, man. It's a good song and you get from it what you get. Everybody gets something different, man. It's all personal mindset. :] Paulyboo52 | Reviewer: paul boone ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane Every settle the fuck down. Its clearly a trip. The movie is fucking random. Alice is probably tripping on acid in the movie. Its all good. The movie is a whole trip. If you dont think that way then your a fool! I only read 2 of the things and you guys are fucken retarted | Reviewer: Pajamas ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane This song is not about acid, shrooms or any drugs at all it is about Alice in Wonderland if you think this is a song about drugs then you are Retarded yes it is a trippy song and yes its Fucken Jefferson Airplane What the fuck it is just about the movie so dont be a Dick sniper and say that its about Drugs because you will feel retarded afterwards because you are wrong. I am not saying that everybody is Dumb Just the First Few people. Actually | Reviewer: The Silver Stag ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane Lewis Carroll was not on acid because acid was not invented for another 73 years. Carroll invented the story while babysitting a friend's daughter after a church service and trying to entertain her. although opium was commonly accepted at the time, they did not believe you should smoke anything during church. later when he expanded the novel he included metaphors alluding to friends and events in his life. he wrote the novel to be an example of literary nonsense, a genre popular at that time. Just a great song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane So much arguing about something that only the members of the band can answer, and to my knowledge, never have. That's like arguing about Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and what it all means. WHO CARES! Just enjoy them both. White Rabbit It starts of low and slow and builds to such a great crescendo with Grace wailing out FEED YOUR HEAD. I just love it. The marching drum in the background can't be beat. Seriously? | Reviewer: Hippymover ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane If you have not taken hallucinogenic drugs and/or had a a detrimental trip, then you will never have any idea what this song means. She is talking about the rabbit hole and yes the rabbit. I won't explain who's who, but the song is about a trip and the consequences thereof. I have said too much. Know your facts. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane Actually the author, Lewis Carroll was not on acid. Ccid wasn't invented in 1865, it was first synthesized in 1938. But the possibility he was on other forms of hallucinogenics ie: mushrooms, opium, is quite possible. Duh! | Reviewer: jmorrisonbabe ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane Okay, I have one thing to say. I am 16 years old in our world today. My mom has a boyfriend, who is 57. I know more about that song than he does. When i was listening to that song one day, he said do you know what that song means? it's about drugs. And I told him, "Well no shit. But it's much more than that. it's not just another druggy song. It is using something that is seen everyday, Alice in Wonderland. And it is an amazing way of showing exactly what the F*** was on "Lewis Carol's" mind. LSD!" I have to say, that I am very proud of myself for not being hypnotised by the rest of the teenage population these days into actually thinking that what the music industries are putting out right now is actually MUSIC...i don't think soooo!!!!! random ideas | Reviewer: evil toast ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane the author that wrote alice in wonderland was on lsd throughout the entire story, hence the weird images, meanings, and sensations the story has. we can go on forever about the meaning of the song and story and have many interperattions but you can never really know what the author intended because of the altered state of mind that he was in. and even if you did the drug and tried to interpret it you still probably won't have the same mindset b/c everyones mind works differrently excellent song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane First off - that's a great story about your experience with harold/howard BigwigNUFC. i have heard this song before alot of times but never could get what all the lyrics were. either way what they are about (personally i agree with Bigwig) i was discussing last time we had taken ketamine and later some acid with my friend at his home..i asked him when he got white rabbit and i didn't know he liked the band.. only for him to turn round and say that he doesn't own it and never had....i had been sitting listening (hearing it in my head) for about 10 hours!! RK | Reviewer: Alex ------ About the song Somebody to Love performed by Jefferson Airplane I have to disagree. All I hear is "guest". I don't know about anyone else but my friends don't treat me like a guest. They treat me like I live at their homes as well. If I ask for a drink, they tell me that I should know where the glasses and fridge are by now. I absolutely see your point and I have no idea where Jefferson's actual lyrics are. It's possible that Grace didn't sing the written lyrics every time. I know Maynard of Tool changes lyrics all the time. And "where it's at" makes more sense but all I hear is "where it." Then again, this is only a lyric site and of all the things to be concerned about, this isn't really one of them. <3 | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane dont have to think too much into the song..alice in wonderland and white rabbit are just crazy random thoughts, probably just the ones that stood out best during a trip. and im thankful somebody decided to sing about the nonsense, its one of my favorite songs...but always makes me want to feed my own head. review | Reviewer: trizzle ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane this song makes me wanna smoke pot. i wonder what being high and listening to this song would be like. cause when i listen to this song..... i just feel high. i just sit back, close my eyes, and i feel like everything just hits me at once. then passes through me. and then all i see and feel and hear is color. Best Song About the Mind and Drugs Ever | Reviewer: Rapter57 ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane There's truth to the song but i just bought Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There yesterday and i seriously don't see how Lewiss Caroll could have written the first chapter when on drugs if Alice has both understanding of geography and mathematics when she goes down the rabbit hole. not to mention the symbolism is way more sophisticated even in the beginning than anything Shaggy from "Scooby Doo" would write. Unbelievable load of old Bollocks!!! | Reviewer: BigwigNUFC ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane As a true Airplane fanatic of 40 years, who has their entire output on vinyl, as well as tape & CD, I can't believe the amount of utter crap being spouted by some people on here. The whole song is a tongue-in-cheek parody of parts of both Alice-In-Wonderland & Through The Looking Glass [ the correct title of Lewis Caroll's sequel....and yes I know that is just his pen-name, before some wise-arse corrects me...It just isn't important!] It's got nowt at all to do with the Vietnam War...as if! It is just a light-hearted piece of awesome, metaphoric song writing, using the Alice story to describe a hallucigenic trip, whether real or imagined...well that's for Ms Slick to say. Coincidentally, the very first thing that happened to. on my very first trip [of maybe 50 LSD trips in between '71 & '73]was, having fallen asleep, I was woken up by a 6' tall brown rabbit or hare, called Harold...who was worried about me. It turned out to be a new friend of mine, called Howard! Feed your head! Jefferson's endless trip | Reviewer: vivajah07 ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane This song is a flawless masterpiece in rock. With a sound never to be seen again in future bands to come. I only wish artist from our time could be as innovative as Jefferson Airplane were in their era and time. Wonderland / Looking Glass | Reviewer: Me ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane I'm not here to argue whether the song is about drug use. It obviously is, using the classic book "Alice in Wonderland" as a reference. I would like to point out an earlier poster stated "It is based off Alice in Wonderland yes...Alice in Wonderland is based off of the book "Alice in the Looking Glass and that book has many references to drugs." Alice in Wonderland was NOT based on AliceThrough the Looking Glass. Alice Through the Looking Glass was a sequel to the Alice in Wonderland. You might want to get your own facts straight before you call other people ignorant. to all | Reviewer: dithmo ------ About the song White Rabbit performed by Jefferson Airplane to those of you saying this song is about drugs you are correct, its based around alice in the looking glass which is full of drug reference but to those trying to figure out what "feed your head" means i believe it means open your mind. many people take hallucinogenics to experience a different perspective on reality, i think it refers to this You could review the artist/band Jefferson Airplane in Biography page You could review Jefferson Airplane album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Jefferson Airplane song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Jefferson Airplane" Music | | ||||||||||
