Sasquatch
Charlotte Diamond Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sasquatch, Sasquatch
Won't you come on down
Sasquatch, Sasquatch
Won't you come down
Shed your furry coat and let the sun shine in
The door is open, come on in

Sasquatch, Sasquatch

We are just like you
Sasquatch, Sasquatch
We get frightened too
Maybe you could learn to trust us a friend
The door is open, come on in

When you're hiding in the mountains so lonely and afraid
Hiding in the rocks and hiding in your cave
Growling at the world below in anger and in pain
And leaving great big footprints and the fear of your name

Sasquatch, Sasquatch
Won't you come on down
Sasquatch, Sasquatch
Won't you come down

Shed your furry coat and let the sun shine in
The door is open, come on in...

Overall Meaning

In Charlotte Diamond's song "Sasquatch," the singer invites Sasquatch to come down from the mountains and join the rest of humanity. The lyrics paint a picture of a creature that is alone, scared, angry, and in pain, hiding away from the world. Despite being fearful of Sasquatch, the singer welcomes the creature to leave behind its furry coat and trust humans. The repeated line, "the door is open, come on in," acts as an invitation for Sasquatch to join the rest of society.

The song's message can be interpreted in a few different ways. On one hand, it could be seen as an allegory for the ways in which humans discriminate against those who are different or "other." The lyrics suggest that despite Sasquatch's appearance and behavior, it is not fundamentally different from humans and can learn to trust and befriend them. On the other hand, the song could also be seen as a commentary on the importance of conservation and environmental protection. The repeated imagery of Sasquatch hiding in the mountains and leaving footprints emphasizes the creature's natural, wild habitat, which is threatened by human activity.
