The document analyzes the lyrics of a song, finding references to Alice in Wonderland and suggestions that the singer feels like an outsider from society. The lyrics depict contrasting childhood and adult themes, with mentions of drug use. They also express how the singer hates feeling sane and identifies as "crazy", feeling more comfortable among other social outcasts.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Lyric Analysis
1.
2. Her friends, are suggested to be more outgoing and
different from others. The emphasis on each
syllable is on friends, walk and run.
Skinny dip connotes a mischievous atmosphere.
The rabbit hole is a reference to Alice and
Wonderland. This play on the lyrics, suggests a
contrast between the childhood story and an
adult twist.
This is the first reference to drug taking that the
lyrics have put forward. The helium part, makes
me think of the high frequency that the voice becomes
etc. So maybe when portraying this image I could
Use a distortion of some sort to show this.
“Poppin’ Poppin’
balloons with
guns”
There is a clear emphasis
on the onomatopoeic word
‘pop’. Again, there is a form
of juxtaposition in the
lyrics, balloons connotes a
sort of children's party.
Whereas the reference to
the gun suggests another
adult way to ruin
childhood.
“We paint white roses red”
Again, another reference to Alice and Wonderland. However, in
this context it comes across as a rebellious sign instead.
“Each shade from a different persons head”
Suggesting from the persons blood, giving the whole context
and eerie message.
3. “This dream, dream is
a killer”
“Getting drunk with a
blue caterpillar”
The dream she is referring is her as
Alice and wonderland being her
dream. Dream also suggests that it
isn’t a nightmare, suggesting
secretly that she loves it. She will
want to continue in her alternate
reality.
Again, there is a juxtaposition
between childhood stories and
adult reality. The caterpillar is an
intertextual reference to the
film/book Alice and Wonderland.
The word drunk stand out for
obvious reasons, so potentially this
could be signified using special
effects or lighting to show the
intoxication.
4. “I’m peeling the skin off my
face”
This is rather coded, and can be two
different things. It may mean that she is
having a worrying high off a particular drug
and actually is peeling skin off her face. Or it
could resemble a mask, that she is no longer
afraid of taking off. Her mask is what she
thinks people want to see, and herself being
crazy is what’s hiding underneath. Emphasis
is on the peeling, which again has long vowel
sounds. This must be an emphasis in my
video.
“Cause I really hate being
sane”
This is backing up my point about a mask,
she’s saying she hates to feel and act as
though she were normal. The obvious image
you get from this statement is a mental
patient. This is almost a torment for her.
5. “The normals refer to everyone
else in society. The social ‘norm’,
the idea that they scare this girl
suggests she feels like she doesn’t
fit it. Afraid also connotes that she
is powerless, it is also more
sensitive than scared. Creating an
actual sense of sympathy when
looking into the lyrics.
By saying this, there is a paradox.
By intending to say that normal
people scare her so she mingles
with other misfits that then
becomes normal.
The word ‘crazies’ doesn’t depict
good thoughts, it suggests a group
of social outcasts with very strange
appearances and attitudes.
6. “I’m nuts, baby I’m mad”
Almost like a self diagnosis, she admits that
she isn’t normal, which therefore conveys a
sense of addiction behind the statement. It
also shows a slight disregard for the
seriousness of psychosis. The term ‘nuts’ is
used, which shows the level of seriousness
is reduced. This is suggesting that she is the worst behaved out of all of her
friends. Showing the level of her craziness. The emphasis in this line
would be ‘you’ve’, because it can directly influence the audience,
therefore gratifying their needs.
“Tell the something
is wrong”
She’s saying that she needs to be diagnosed because she
feels as though she is actually mentally ill. It shows the
severity of her illness. This conveys emotions of concern.
7. That was back when she was pushing her
true self away, so her friends didn’t like her
for that. Now that she has accepted that she’s
crazy, her friends like her more. It could also
show that she is involved in the wrong crowd,
per say, and that the people she hangs out
with (that do drugs and get high) encourage
her to be crazy and do crazy things that might
not always be sensible, but now that there
are people that somewhat accept her, she’ll
do anything to prove that she’s crazy and that
its ok.
She is proud of herself, she doesn’t care what
people say or think about her. So she is saying
that her secret of being crazy, isn’t a big deal
anymore now she’s taken off her mask and now
she's just being who she really is.
8. Reference to a quote by Alice
herself:
“You’re entirely bonkers. But
I’ll tell you a secret. All the
best people are.”
also, this is possibly an
indication that she thinks
being crazy is fine / she is in
denial. She has convinced
herself that being crazy
is fine.
9. She so crazy she’s asking for a
prescription from the doctor,
but for some reason the
doctor doesn’t seem to see
anything wrong, the second
line is her explaining her
craziness. In this line, she may
be referring to her friend as
the doctor. Her friend doesn’t
seem to see anything wrong
with her, and Melanie is
trying to tell her friend that
she actually is crazy.
Alice is a normal girl who
when at a tea party with the
Mad Hatter thinks his ways are
strange and wrong for not
being like her. So Crybaby has
come to terms with not being
normal and is telling others
that they can stick to being
normal and she will do her
own thing.
This is also a sharp contrast to
the previous lines- the first
three lines try to convince the
doctor that Crybaby needs
medication, but she snaps
after the third, sinking into the
Alice in Wonderland delusion.
