In an interview with Artist Direct, Melanie said that "Mad Hatter" is about beingness okay with who y'all are. In this song, Cry Baby is fully accepting herself and doesn't care what other people call up of her. The vocal includes many references to and takes a lot of inspiration from the 1865 fantasy novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.

The song is the endmost chapter of the story because Cry Baby embraces the crazy inside of her, refusing to hibernate information technology regardless of what the globe thinks, representing her character evolution throughout the anthology.

Lyrics

[Poetry 1]
My friends don't walk, they run
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun
Poppin', poppin' balloons with guns
Getting loftier off helium
We pigment white roses red
Each shade from a different persons' caput
This dream, dream is a killer
Getting drunk with a blueish caterpillar

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm peeling the skin off my face
'Cause I actually hate existence rubber
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

[Chorus]
I'yard nuts, infant, I'yard mad
The craziest friend that you lot've ever had
You retrieve I'm psycho, you lot call back I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is incorrect
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You similar me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell yous a cloak-and-dagger, I'yard not alarmed
So what if I'one thousand crazy? The best people are
All the best people are crazy
All the best people are

[Poesy 2]
Where is my prescription?
Md, doctor, please, listen
My brain is scattered
You can be Alice, I'll exist the Mad Hatter

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm peeling the pare off my face
'Cause I really hate being safe
The normals, they make me afraid
The crazies, they make me feel sane

[Chorus]
I'm nuts, baby, I'thou mad
The craziest friend that you've ever had
You remember I'g psycho, you think I'g gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You similar me best when I'm off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'k not alarmed
And then what if I'grand crazy? The best people are

[Bridge]
You remember I'm crazy, you think I'm gone
So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are
And I think yous're crazy too, I know y'all're gone
Information technology's probably the reason that nosotros get along

[Chorus]
I'yard basics, babe, I'm mad
The craziest friend that yous've ever had
You call back I'm psycho, y'all think I'm gone
Tell the psychiatrist something is incorrect
Over the bend, entirely bonkers
You like me best when I'one thousand off my rocker
Tell you a secret, I'yard not alarmed
So what if I'1000 crazy? The best people are
All the all-time people are crazy
All the all-time people are
All the all-time people are crazy
All the best people are

Music Video

The music video, like the previous ones, is directed and conceived by Melanie. However, for this video, Melanie hired an animator to work on the all-encompassing CGI effects featured in it, hence making for a loftier budget. The video starts with Cry Infant in her bedroom, smoking. When she places her cigarette, she sees a mysterious bottle of liquid, labeled "beverage". She drinks information technology and falls onto the bed. She sees the Cashier and Nurse by her bed who both accept mysterious blackness eyes as she falls asleep. The music starts as a life-sized doll cranks upwards a Jack-in-the-box, from which Weep Baby pops out of. Four life-sized Rushton Dolls and so driblet in, saving her. These toys, according to Melanie, represent her true friends. Every bit the dream continues, nosotros run across more situations where Weep Infant faces a threat, like a family planning to eat her, and a man and adult female (perchance her parents) blocking her path. In all of these situations, Cry Baby is saved past the toys. The dream sequence ends with Cry Baby eating a donut with suspiciously gruesome insides while the toys are sitting by her. As the video ends, Weep Baby wakes up in her bed with blackness eyes, pale skin, and two hands by her side, and information technology is assumed that these hands belong to the Cashier and Nurse.

Trivia

• The lines, "Tell you lot a undercover, I'm not alarmed/So what if I'1000 crazy? The best people are" were based on a quote from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that reads, "You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. Only I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are".

"Cry baby sat and disagreed
Imperfect, insane, and emotional was she
Only she feels safe, going to sleep
And there's no one else that she'd rather be"
