Treehouse
Alex G Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Why can't everyone just go away?
Except you, you can stay
What do you think of my treehouse?
It's where I sit and talk really loud
Usually, I'm all by myself
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the captain, but you can be the deputy
I'm really glad you think I'm so funny
I don't think I'm ever gonna let you leave
"Do not enter" is written on the doorway
Why can't everyone just go away?
Except you, you can stay
What do you think of my treehouse?
It's where I sit and talk really loud
Usually, I'm all by myself
Ooh-ooh-ooh
I'm the captain, but you can be the deputy
I'm really glad you think I'm so funny
I don't think I'm ever gonna let you leave
The lyrics to "Treehouse" by Alex G are filled with feelings of isolation and longing for a sense of belonging. The opening line "Do not enter" is a clear indication of the singer's desire for privacy and sanctuary from the outside world. Despite this, the lyrics express a desire for human connection, as indicated by the line "Why can't everyone just go away? Except you, you can stay." The singer wants to be alone but also wants someone to share their treehouse with.
The treehouse is a symbol of safety and childhood nostalgia, where the singer can be themselves and speak loudly without fear of judgment. The line "What do you think of my treehouse?" highlights the singer's need for validation and acceptance of their private space. The chorus repeats this sentiment with the question "What do you think of my treehouse?" emphasizing the importance of this space.
The role of the captain in the lyrics reflects the singer's desire for control and leadership while also indicating a sense of insecurity. The addition of a deputy suggests a need for support and companionship in this role. The final line "I don't think I'm ever gonna let you leave" further emphasizes the fear of loneliness and the need for connection in the singer's life.
