A second trip down the ‘Rabbit’ hole for another collection of songs.
“Rabbit Down the Hole” is the sixth track from Billy Talent’s fifth album ‘Afraid of Heights’ speaks about religion and addiction. Ben Kowalewicz, the frontman for the Canadian punk rock band, revealed the lyrical meaning of the tune. “Sometimes people get so blinded by this thing that they lose their sense of self. The further they go into it, the more they lose,” he said. “I’m not saying that’s with all religions, but I’m saying the fanatical kind of people that hide. With an addiction, it’s not even by choice, but you lose the plot. You just get so far gone from where you were that you’re left standing there being like, ‘Where am I now?'” “It’s a long song. It takes you on a journey and builds you up and you kind of actually do get lost in it,” he continued. “It’s where the lyric and the melody match the vibe to what the song was saying. It all works together.”
“Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)” is a song by English band Florence and the Machine from their debut studion album ‘Lungs’ (2009). It was released as the album’s third single in June 2009. The song was written by Florence Welch and Paul Epworth, produced by Epworth and mixed by Cenzo Townshend. The song contains elements of “House Jam” by Gang Gang Dance. It has been remixed by numerous artists, including Jamie T., whose remix appears on the single’s CD and digital releases. “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)” peaked at number 12 in the UK, becoming the band’s third most successful single to date.
“Rabbit Hole” is a song by Blink 182 taken from their 2016 album release ‘Calfornia’. This pop-punk track finds singer and bassist Mark Hoppus begging for some peace from the thoughts that occupy his mind and keep him awake at night. Producer John Feldmann said: “Mark and I were talking about depression and negative thinking, how one thought can spiral into thousands of thoughts of ‘What’s the point of anything?” As an adult, to go backwards and ask, ‘What was that first thought that caused me to go through this spiral of nothingness?’ The idea of the song is ‘I’m not going to go down this rabbit hole of negative thinking.’ That’s where the song started. Where it ended [feels] more playful, the logo, and we’re talking about the O.G. skankin’ rabbit legacy.”
“Rabbit Hole” is a song written and sung by Australian singer, AVIVA. The song was released in March 2019. The song talks about how the singer wants to show the listener her dark fantasies, but warns them that they won’t be able to unsee what’s inside her mind. AVIVA says “I wrote Rabbit Hole for one of my closest friends; it was to raise awareness for mental health and just one way to express what that battle we all face with our inner demons at different points over the course of our life. I really hope that song has helped you as much as it’s helped both of us.”
“Roger Rabbit” is the second scene in Sleeping With Siren’s acoustic play ‘If You Were a Movie, This Would Be Your Soundtrack’ (2012) showcases Kellin telling his significant other that they need to open up and show their feelings. The track mostly includes acoustic guitar, a drum set, and bass guitar. “Roger Rabbit” showcases a completely different side of the band, a soft, ballady number as opposed to their usual angry, angsty music. It is worth noting that this song has literally nothing to do with the 1988 movie.
