Alice

The song 'Alice' by k a m a i t a c h i delves into the dark and harrowing world of addiction, using the character Alice as a metaphorical representation of someone struggling with substance abuse. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of Alice injecting a 'dose of happiness' into her veins, which is a clear reference to drug use. This act leads to a temporary escape from reality, but it also brings about a collapse of her inner world, symbolized by the 'house of happiness' falling in the garden.

The recurring imagery of the sky closing in with clouds and crying out of sorrow reflects the overwhelming despair and hopelessness that accompanies addiction. The lines 'Ah, if my feet could walk, how would it be? Ah, if my feet could step, everything would fall asleep' suggest a longing for escape and numbness, a desire to disconnect from the pain and turmoil of life. The mention of 'heroína' (heroin) as something that makes the narrator rewind and the need for adrenaline highlights the cyclical nature of addiction, where the user is constantly seeking the next high to feel alive.

Alice's struggle reaches a tragic climax as she clings to the 'branch of life and death,' indicating a precarious balance between survival and demise. The phrase 'Alice in the land of overdose' starkly portrays the fatal consequences of her addiction. The song's repetition of the desire for movement and the numbing effect of drugs underscores the relentless grip of addiction and the yearning for a way out. Through its haunting lyrics and evocative imagery, 'Alice' serves as a poignant commentary on the devastating impact of substance abuse and the fragile line between life and death that addicts walk.
