Alice in Wonderland?

The first time I heard this song, the first few lines immediately made Alice in Wonderland come to mind.
_______________________
Dreaming of that face again.
It's bright and blue and shimmering.
Grinning wide
And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes.


Thought the four lines painted a nice picture of the Cheshire cat, grinning wide, wild eyes just brought it to mind. I can't exactly explain three eyes though, or it being blue, the cat's purple as I recall.

On my back and tumbling
Down that hole and back again
Rising up


most substantial lines, they could easily represent Alice's falling through the first hole, where I think the walls are covered by clocks, and falls to a locked door at the bottom with a speaking knob. It could also represent her falling down the rabbit hole, and back again would show her awakening. Symbolically speaking, down that hole could mean just entering her wonderland, and the signifigance of back again would be having experienced wonderland, and now being able to take what she learned from wonderland and applying it to the world when fully conscious.
