Hi my Friends! Mad Hatter here to say this song is the Official Lead Single, and seventh song on my upcoming, highly-anticipated fourth studio album coming next year following my hit third album "Back to the Glory Days!!! Music Video Coming Soon as well!!! This is the Sped-Up Version of the song for possibly TikTok. This song is about how you can stand up to hate when it feels like so many people are rooting against you. This is an anthem of standing up for yourself when the odds are against you, showing people you are better than them (only haters), being honest without being mean, and just letting the Haters hide in the corner, and keep Chirping like Crickets for Attention to show them you don't care what they say. Whether you're That Dude or That Girl! Even when you feel they won't stop. Also, this song is taking us into Wonderland, the universe of my next album which I love. All "Alice in Wonderland" adaptations are Fantastic! It also discusses how you don't need others to Prove Your Worth similar to "The Life of the Party!", as well as the breakdown of a friendship over fakeness like a relationship similar to "Division" with Makaila Brown, & "Friends for the Pay" God rest his soul preach, had a baby, shown in a nicer way. Remember to be a Butterfly, and not a Cricket! I know this song is a little cheesy at times but in a good way, and means all love even to the Haters! Just Stay in your Corner or Lane! This is the spiritual, much nicer, and fun successor to "Friends for the Pay" but with hints of "V-Money", "Mind GAME$", "Twin Flame", "Happiness (Everything Has Changed)", "If I Was the President...", and "The Life of the Party!" with the fun movie-like theme of "Hocus Pocus (Magical!) Love you all!!! This song is so fun, & in your face I can't wait to perform it, and remember I don't mean harm with it!!! Enjoy you guys!!! Can't wait to share more!!!

Cricket(s)... - Sped Up!

This is the next song I am putting out, and 6th Official Single for "Lost in Wonderland"! This one is one of my personal faves, and hopefully can be a Big Hit eventually. This song is about Battling a Person who just cares about themselves, is Narcissistic (like I've dealt with), and tears you down no matter what you do despite you trying to do better than before, as well as battling your Internal Bully who can be just as mean. This is about trying to make your Life different despite the Adversities of Mean People who have attempted to Hurt You in a Nonsensical way, but also standing up to your Inner Demons after they tried to make you Quit Getting Better. & it does. You can Stand Up to whatever Jabberwocky is bothering you too! This song is similar to "Nightmares from the Beyond", "Mind GAME$", "Savior", "Twin Flame", "Stars from Above", "Accomplish the Goal", and "Nothing I Do, Is Good Enough For You!", with the double meaning with Dragons, and a 80's New Wave, and Alternative Rock beat! I hope you can Slay the Jabberwocky you're dealing with too! It also samples Halsey's hit 2019 song "Nightmare" which also samples "All the Things She Said" by t.A.T.u.  too! Enjoy Guys!

Jabberwocky

This is the next song on my album that I love the lyrics for! This song is about Battling a Person who has hurt you in an unexpected way, like a Predator, and how surprised I am that even Innocent seeming people can turn Evil by a bigger Evil force. It Warns People to use their Gut instincts when something is Wrong, leave the bad situation, and find God; not the Devil. It's about a few very personal experiences I had when I was younger; 1 over a decade ago, and a similar 1 only a year ago. This song is similar to "Nightmares from the Beyond", "Mind GAME$", "Life Will Go On", "Savior", "Stairway to Heaven", "The Pain is Gone (Remembering You)", "Miracles from God", and "Happiness (Everything Has Changed)" altogether. I hope you guys can relate to this song, and can inspire people to stand up, and leave, and never go back for the better! It also samples Doja Cat's hit 2023 song "Paint the Town Red" as well! Enjoy Guys!

The Good Book's Truth (In Aftershock!)

This next song on this album is truly a statement to Anyone who has Crossed my Path in the Past. It's about what's it's like to finally, for good stand up to every single person who has Hurt you along your Journey, and Praying they Heal after once ridding them. It shows that I can have a Respect for you even after you did everything to get rid of me, but I am not Weak, and won't back down from stopping you. It shows we both have Flaws as well, and shows that I will admit my wrongs after we call out them, and you can admit yours. It's a Way of Coming to a Truce on how we can Move on from each other's Wrongdoing's, before leaving this crazy place; in Wonderland, Once, and for All. It has similar themes to past hits of mine like "Nightmares", "Call to the Wild", "Division", "Mind GAME$", "Twin Flame", "Friends for the Pay", "Happiness (Everything Has Changed)", "The Pain is Gone (Remembering You)", and more! I Hope You Guys truly can Understand, and Relate to this one, and Enjoy Guys!

Take a Stand on Common Ground

Guys, this next song on my album is the Embodiment of the Mad Hatter that has Possessed me this Era. This track is about calling out someone who has been very hurtful along someone's journey. It is about being sarcastic towards the bully, reclaiming their mean words, and telling them thank you for bringing you down (Slyly of course). It is trying to stoop yourself down to their level after trying to be the better person, and trying to reason with them finally on a level they really understand, and celebrating the Misery they brought on to you (Sarcastically). It's Self-Depricating but it's about how they got you but you know deep down you will overcome them eventually, and win the war after they won this battle. It's uniquely deep but it will show them eventually that you're on to their game their playing, and you eventually will be better than anything they portray you as or them themselves (just don't get a big head Yourself!). I wrote it also in response to a situation where a Friend who had issues with me (I had with them as well), seeed to understand a bad situation I was in after I apologized but then years later took it back, and was hung up on the mistakes I only made which I did but they also made some as a Falling Out. I Wish them Well though. This song is similar to some of my hits including "Dance 'Till the Beat Drops", "Mind GAME$", "Rolling with the Punches (I'll Care for You)" with Gracie, and Gina, "The Beloved Misfit", "Dreams of Where Our Hearts Go", "Twin Flame", and "The Life of the Party!". It also is sampling Linkin Park's hit 2001 song, "Crawling" as well! Hope You Guys can get the Craziness, and Sarcasm in this 1! Enjoy!

Rejoice Yourself!

This song is a resurrected version of my old hit 2019 song that basically died because of how vicious it was, "Friends for the Pay", but a healed version. This track is actually really fun but is a warning to others that Karma, and God can get anyone if they don't repent for their sins, or call people out wen you also have skeletons in your closet, which is Hypocritical. It is like being Judge, and Jury, and trying to sympathize but real about what people can do to change themselves, but if they don't what their fate will be as I try to change my beliefs, my own actions, and be accountable for myself, and my mistakes as well. It has a good purpose but is cheeky at times like it's kind of funny to see people who did bad things get what they deserve but it's also not in duality. It is similar to "Friends for the Pay", "Nightmares from the Beyond", "Twin Flame", "Nothing I Do, Is Good Enough For You!", "V-Money", "The Beloved Misfit", "Savior", and more of my hits. It samples "Friends for the Pay", and that also samples the hit 2006 song "What Goes Around... Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake. Enjoy this dueling, and interesting song guys! P.S., my Mom wrote or rapped some of the lyrics, and I Edited some of her words for this one! Enjoy!

When Karma Comes Around...

This song is that's about Letting Go of the Problems, Pain, and Bad People of Your Past, and Getting Ready to Start a Happier Life, while also saying Goodbye to People you loved being with, and even met in this New World you came too. I feel that with losing my Mom but meeting some new people as well before, and after she passed. It's a Final Goodbye to Good, and Bad People really, and a Hello to Hopefully a brighter Future, and an Optimistic Feeling that I will see my Mom again, and take the good lessons, and good people with me, but if they want to say Goodbye, that I Acknowledge they meant well, and will miss them but Promising to Honor them, and do them Right in Time. This song is similar to "You're Cool (Calm, and Collected)", "The Pain is Gone (Remembering You)", "My Wild Gypsy Heart", "The Life of the Party!", "Rolling with the Punches (I'll Care For You)" with Gracie, and Gina, and "Light at the End of the Tunnel" as well. It also samples Melanie Martinez's hit 2023 song "DEATH" as well! Enjoy this Hello, & Goodbye Guys!

Hello, & Goodbye... To Those Who've Crossed this Path

Hey Guys, this is the Grand Finale to Our Journey through Wonderland! This Rock Ballad is the Longing for a New Life, Admitting I want to Change My Ways Once, and For All, and Declaring I will change, be Happy, and Honor my Mom, and Living for her, and Having a Successful Life Despite Her Passing Away after being Distraught for So Long. This also shows how I can not only honor her but my Cousin Ray who my Middle name is after who was Murdered 30 years ago Unfortunately. Fun Fact; I Originally Wanted to Name this Album "Ray of Sunshine" because of this message, however "Lost in Wonderland" has been even Greater, and more on brand for the theme, and My Life for the Moment but they are equally beautiful tracks. I also want to show whichever friends I met in Wonderland who I now know are actually True, and who will come along my Journey with me that they do mean so much to me, and we can continue to grow together, and eventually when I find my soulmate of a lovely lady, that we will do the same for each other, like the Mad Hatter, and Alice together as we Set Sail altogether under God to create a Bright, and Beautiful Future! This song is similar to "Peace for All", "You're Cool (Calm, & Collected)", "Life Will Go On", "Dreams of Where Our Hearts Go", "The Life of the Party!", "Perception/Set Fire to Trees", "Summer Nights" with Carson, "Light at the End of the Tunnel", and "Back to the Glory Days". This song also samples all 3 of Lady Gaga's recent 2024/2025 Mayhem singles "Die With a Smile" with Bruno Mars, "Disease", and "Abracadabra" as well as Rihanna & Calvin Harris's hit 2011 song "We Found Love" as well! I thank you God, Mom, and you all for loving this project from me, and I dedicate this album to my Mother, Laura DeCaprio, and will love her forever, and know she will always still be in my life. I "Hope" you guys can find the strength in yourselves through this album, and this song like I have, and thank you again. This is "Lost in Wonderland". I "Hope" you enjoyed it guys! I Love You All! :) <3, the Mad Hatter.

Ray of Sunshine

So this is the 1st bonus track, and promotional single for the "Mad Hatter's" EP, and deluxe edition of the "Lost in Wonderland" album! This song is 1 I started in 2021 that was almost a throwaway but turned out to be pretty fun! It is a Pep-Talk to Myself basically saying that I doubt myself, I need to do Better, and how I present myself to the world: basically my alter ego of V-Money vs. my real self. This is how I feel about myself when I don't Live Up to my own standards but can have fun & live a little bit. I hope this heals over time. However it's a crazy Pop-Punk, and Hard Rock song that sends the Message to be More Real to Yourself, and Others, and Not to put on an Act to Everyone.  It also samples "Brutal" by Olivia Rodrigo, and can't wait for you guys to hear the next few songs even more enjoy & listen to this 1 now! Love you guys!

Everybody Knows You're Spoiled!

So this is the next bonus track from "Lost in Wonderland", and it's "Mad Hatter EP"! This Song was an Idea I had also before "Back to the Glory Days" in 2022 originally about Healing from Pain brought on by my Dad's Toxic Ex-Girlfriend. This song has been a Culmination of an Aftermath of Hard Breakups that gets Better some days, and Worse on Others. It's an All Encompassing Letter to People Who I Both Miss, and Don't on Thoughts that Needed to be Addressed Before they Left My Life in some Way but really turns out to be an After-Thought. It is Anxiety, and Depression meets Honesty, and Healing of Failed Relationships while Grieving my Mom nearly a Year after she Passed, and now my Grandmother passed of Stage 4 Breast Cancer (her Mom). I Miss my Mom so much but Life really has gotten so much better now, & I believe, and "Hope" it continues too the Rest of My Life. It got Cut from the Original Version of this album because the OG had so much Heartbreak, and a More Defined Storyline at Play but it's on the Mad Hatter's Version because of the Duality of Anger, and Sadness at play on the Piano. I Love You Guys!

Dear You...

So this is the one of the last bonus tracks, a potential big hit, and eventual single for the "Mad Hatter's" EP, and deluxe edition of the "Lost in Wonderland" album! This song is about Dancing with the Devil Metaphorically, and Literally. It is about being at your Wit's End, and Turning to the Darkness to Try to Get Out but Realizing You made the Wrong Choice. It's about Learning the Truth about Who, and What has your Best Intentions, Love, Care, Honesty, nd Loyalty, and how to Trust your Gut Intuition, and God to really do the Right Thing In The End. And how to really do it all with Purpose to Change, even if Feels Good, and Fun with Temptation (it's really not after awhile). This is a Disco, and Electropop Banger with Synth, Dark Pop, and Pop Rap influences similar to "Nightmares from the Beyond", and others in a Full-Circle Moment; before I Truly Leave Wonderland, and it's Wonders, and Dangers Behind. I Love You Guys!
