ִ ۫ ּ ִֶָ ࣪ The album uses the classic “Alice in Wonderland” as a metaphor for facing your fears and embracing your “madness." Abandoning everything you know and entering into something totally new, with new challenges, new knowledge.

ִ ۫ ּ ִֶָ ࣪ There's a story told from beginning to end. "Eat Me" begins with the discovery of these new opportunities and possibilities; midway through, it reveals the denial, fear, and doubt of truly wanting to go through with it, of truly wanting to abandon what you know and embrace the unknown; at the end of the album, there's success, the "reward" for not giving up.

ִ ۫ ּ ִֶָ ࣪ The album opens with "White Rabbit," the being who shows Alice these new things. In the performance, Persephone dresses entirely as a rabbit, with a mask and makeup that makes her almost unrecognizable. The song, in turn, is addictive, with typical gothic elements and repetitive, playful lyrics. Being the album's opening track, it doesn't have the entirely danceable energy of most of Persephone's songs, which makes the album progressively increase this energy throughout.

ִ ۫ ּ ִֶָ ࣪ Towards the middle of the album, there's "We're All Mad Here," which talks about acceptance, and of course, the Mad Hatter, the character Persephone dresses up as to perform. The song is extremely danceable and catchy, the lyrics are warm, and the instruments are beautifully crafted. Now the character in this story is accepting that she was born for this, that nothing is truly madness. She recognizes that everything that has happened in her life has led her to exactly that point, that place. Before this track, there are "Off With Their Heads" and "The Twins," which speak of Alice's doubts and fears in general. This is when the Mad Hatter appears and helps and encourages her.

ִ ۫ ּ ִֶָ ࣪ The album ends with "The Futterwacken," the memorable crazy dance performed by the Mad Hatter, which is performed in moments of great joy. Alice, or the character in this album, is happy and has achieved her success. The song, of course, is the most upbeat on the album.
