Billy Joel has pointed out that the lower working class has to deal with a serious physical side effect to working. The lower class has to deal with more significant labor intensive occupations than the higher working class. For many they have to make the decision to continue picking up shifts are work to make up the cost of their lifestyle and deal with the possibility of being over worked that can lead to a heart attack.

I would expand it to say that Anthony is the everyday man working hard and dreaming of “someday”

I’d say expand your mind and consciousness

The reference alludes to the chessmen…bankers, government “The Man” controlling your life…
Feed your head is exactly that…Wake up to the slave status that they have relegated you to

Feed your head means expand your mind and consciousness whether through knowledge or drugs or whatever you see fit.

I used to inturputate this as a “Do it!” thing, but now later it makes more sense to me as “Educate yourself in the matter!”
Great stuff, cheers!

Since the dormouse deals in incongruent, absurd inversions of phrases, (“I sleep when I breathe” is not at all the same as “I breathe when I sleep”) the point seems to be to focus on the phrase “feed your head”, in a similar way.
“Feed your head” could mean to eat or consume something yourself… but it could also mean to “feed your head” to something or someone else. Whether it’s reading or learning something, a dormouse being eaten, a Queen taking your head, or someone giving you the substance that makes these imaginary things real.. you must “feed your head”.
I see the song as a recognition that no matter what you do, you are in submission to something far greater than what you can control. I don’t think it fully condones or condemns either side of drug culture.. it simply tells you of how gargantuan it is—what you’re actually dealing with, either way. Alice’s adventure is undeniably quite a journey, no matter how fraught with peril it becomes.

feed your head doesn’t have to be the answer to “remember what the door mouse said.

Also, they eat the dormouse in the end, considering both mad hatters and March hares (hats and hair) are heads being fed, it might mean something. Lewis Carroll was also a professor of mathematics and logic at Oxford

You might just as well say,' added the March Hare,that “I like what I get” is the same thing as “I get what I like”!‘
You might just as well say,' added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep,that “I breathe when I sleep” is the same thing as “I sleep when I breathe”!’

What did the dormouse say? Maybe you should inquire, possibly … feed your head??

Mary Queen of Scots, was beheaded (brutally as it took a couple tries) and is often referred to as Bloody Mary giving the “Red Queen” a possible alternative to playing cards or from the other books.

You clearly miss the point with your comment on how dreams & psychedelics make for sloppy logic,“ when the drug consuming experience has little to do with logic, it’s all about the experience & getting in touch with another reality; that’s why there’s renewed interest psychedelics as a tool for consciousness expansion in psychology & among mental health experts, having been shown to help with depression, anxiety, PTSD & other mental illnesses & among those who are truly seeking a higher plane of existence.
