It was basically written as a message to bitter parents of drug-users... If you read your kids fairy-tales like alice in wonderland don't expect them to object to drug experimentation.

I think that when grace wrote this song she was trippin. i dont think there is a deep meaning to this song because back in the day they made music because they loved music not so that they could send a message to a mom or dad. thats not even the people who listened to their music so why would they try to reach out to them???

I think this song speaks of drugs and the way they make you feel for example once tall and once small. What better way to describe it than the story of Alice in wonderland.

My own experiences in the 60's greatly influence my interpretation of White Rabbit. This was a time of naivete, innocence, confusion, hard decisions, stress and thought provocation. White Rabbit acknowledges that advice from older generations do not seem to make sense in our current world, and we are more open to look to unconventional solutions. Everyone was looking for better answers or explanations and looking in some unfulfilling places (like drugs). This song seemed to offer some very good advise using an "Alice in Wonderland" analogy. Alice was naive, innocent and looking for answers. In pursuit of her answers she follows unfamiliar elements to a unreal world. As she wanders through this world looking for answers she experiences and learns many lessons. White Rabbit advises us to ask Alice (who has already tried the 'unreal' route looking for answers) before we accept, try or count-on alternate sources of answers - 'don't take drugs' is the message I heard. Keep learning and acquiring knowledge to fill your head with better understanding of the real world is the best course for us to follow and not get 'lost' down a rabbit hole. Open our eyes to see and live in the real world with all of its imperfections; not to retreat into a world made up of wishful, unrealistic 'trips'. WAKE UP! Learn from Alice's mistakes. Don't wish for things to be better...work for them to be better.

The song was not used to highlight the book "Go Ask Alice", the book was titled that because of the song. The song is about drug use in the 60's, not about the fairytale.
