    LYRICS:
    I've been waiting here for a while now.
    What I'm waiting for, I don't know.
    They tell me to make myself comfortable.
    Whatever they say, this isn't home.
    Where the eagles soar,
    I can see it all, I can see it all.
    High in the Belltower
    that the snow surrounds.
    Someone mutters the warning,
    "Careful not to fall, careful not to fall".
    When your fingers graze the sky
    it's a long way down.
    Do these walls protect me or do these walls seal me in?
    No one tells me either way. No one tells me a thing.
    Here, where I'm locked away,
    I can see it all, I can see it all.
    High in the Belltower,
    vultures gather 'round.
    Walls echo the warning,
    "Careful not to fall, careful not to fall".
    When the birds watch as you fly
    it's a long way down.
    Watching the world from here
    I see everything. Nothing short of everything.
    High in the Belltower
    far above the ground.
    Someone's calling for freedom.
    I can hear them sing, I can hear them sing.
    Watch your steps around me.
    It's a long way down.

    I've been listening to these since 2015, so since I was nine or ten. These songs make me want to create songs, so thank you for inspiring me to do things when I was younger

    I know that I'm pretty late but I just want to say... I admire your ability to paint pictures with music. Somehow I have whole sceneries in mind when I listen to your songs, it inspires me to draw and write again after a long period of my creativity just being, well, gone.

    This song inspired a new story and Hey Alice was included in the playlist for my latest novel, Unchained Hearts, the first book in a dark fantasy series. Needless to say, I love your music! 💖

    It makes me imagine of a person deciding if they should or not end their lives.
    They lost everything and they feel they have no one else to turn to. As they stood they looked up to the sky they imagined angels lifting them up to the sky. They are told they are sick and they are nothing but a burden to everyone then I guess they believed the voices who told them on a very cold winter morning they go up and they look down to the ground hoping the height would kill them. Then a nurse cries out to them to stop what they are doing but they don’t hear too well and as they move their foot so they could fall they are pulled back by the arm and caught and was held into an warm embrace and they start crying. The nurse comforts them as they are led back into their warm room and they could get more rest.

      To me it sounds like someone who is wondering if they are the villain, and if they want to continue this path, (a long way down) or if they want to change.

      Branwe Davies Melanie Martinez? There's a claim that she's a rapist hanging around. People are scared of getting shamed for listening to her music.

    probably my favorite song in this entire album, but it's so hard to choose

    • @aradicalia

      ***** i really like it!! there's practically no real character customization for free players besides clothes, but the gameplay is entertaining, there's always something to do, and the story is nice
      i really love the different kinds of fighting styles you can get with the character classes, and using combos are great too

    So I have a thought. What if the girl from hey Alice sang that song to her sister as they took her off to an insane asylum. What if this is that asylum,, bell tower mental hospital

    • @juliapakarinen7956
      @juliapakarinen7956 6 років тому +7

      I have often thought this is about living in mental institution, too, but the connection you made is just brilliant! :)

      Would this be Alice's point of veiw?

    • @RavenStarMedia
      @RavenStarMedia 4 роки тому +1

      That's my headcanon, that this song is from Alice's perspective while in the asylum.

    I like to think that the Bell tower is the singer's own form of anti-socialness that has by now spawned loneliness. So the bells warning not to fall, are just her own self doubts about people and how she shouldn't fall down or 'let down her guards completely'.
    In the end she finally gives in, but it's a 'long way down' or a long journey.

    • @acertainanimetheorymakingg3875
      @acertainanimetheorymakingg3875 9 років тому +2

      +Rachel Rose Mitchell To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should say character or singer.
      Anyway, I'm glad you liked the interpretation. This one was a little harder, since the end sounded a lot like suicide as did the line mentioning the other people 'falling to freedom'.

    • @acertainanimetheorymakingg3875
      @acertainanimetheorymakingg3875 9 років тому +1

      +Rachel Rose Mitchell Ah, I wasn't sure if the proper term was character or singer. But it's nice to know this isn't about you since I made a pretty dark interpretation.

      +Wi To Thanks! The sound is heavily affected, it's actually one of the deep gong-like effects near the beginning.

    I'm sorry to ask but I really love your lyrics and my friend is in the middle of her Music GCSE right now and she's struggling with the writing aspect so do you maybe have any advice I could pass onto her for writing lyrics?

    • @RachelRoseMitchell
      @RachelRoseMitchell  8 років тому

      +VintagePanda99 Oh gosh I'm sorry, I only just saw this! I think the most important thing about lyrics is to keep a mood in mind that you want to capture and write according to that.
