Somebody's Watching Me
Dj Havaj feat. Beatfreakz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me who's watching
Who's watching me?
I'm just an average man, with an average life
I work from nine to five; hey hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bolt the door real tight
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Well, can the people on T.V. see me
Or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower
I'm afraid to wash my hair
'Cause I might open my eyes
And find someone standing there
People say I'm crazy
Just a little touched
But maybe showers remind me of
"Psycho" too much
That's why
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
Who's watching me?
I don't know anymore, are the neighbors watching
Who's watching?
Well, it's the mailman watching me: and I don't feel safe anymore
Tell me who's watching
Oh, what a mess. I wonder who's watching me now
(Who?) The I.R.S.?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
Who's playing tricks on me?
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
I can't enjoy my tea
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I want my privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
Stop playing tricks on me
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
The song "Somebody's Watching Me" by Dj Havaj featuring Beatfreakz is a popular dance hit that addresses the feeling of paranoia and constant surveillance. The opening line "I always feel like somebody's watching me" is repeated several times throughout the song, expressing the singer's sense of being constantly scrutinized and monitored. The lyrics suggest that he feels as though he doesn’t have any privacy, and wonders if this state of suspicion is simply a dream or reality. The subsequent verses offer a clue as to why he may feel this way, as he describes himself as an average man with a regular job and a mundane life, who desires nothing more than to be left alone in his domicile. However, he always seems to feel like he is living in the Twilight Zone or some strange alternate world, where he is being watched.
The theme of surveillance in the song can be interpreted in many ways. It could be seen as a commentary on the rise of CCTV cameras and other forms of surveillance technology in modern society, which can make people feel as though they are constantly being watched. Alternatively, the lyrics could be a metaphor for the fear of judgment and scrutiny that many people feel in their everyday lives, as they seek to conform to societal expectations and avoid criticism. Whatever the interpretation, the song captures a sense of anxiety that is familiar to anyone who has ever felt exposed or vulnerable.
Line by Line Meaning
I always feel like somebody's watching me
I constantly have a sensation that someone is observing my actions and movements
And I have no privacy (oh oh oh)
In addition to feeling like I am being watched, I also have no sense of personal space or solitude
Tell me, is it just a dream
I question whether these feelings are actually occurring or if they are imagined
I'm just an average man with an average life
I am a typical, ordinary person with an unremarkable lifestyle
I work from nine to five, hey hell, I pay the price
I have a common nine-to-five job that is physically and mentally taxing
All I want is to be left alone in my average home
I desire to have alone time and privacy in my ordinary residence
But why do I always feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone, and
Despite my mundane existence, I experience a constant feeling of strangeness and unease

Fun Fact: Michael denied his involvement in this song for YEARS since he was at the peak of his career and didn't want to hog all the limelight from Rockwell. That's why he doesn't appear in the music video or have his name mentioned in ANY of the song's titles or credits. He wanted it kept secret so Rockwell's career could take off. This song became a hit of Rockwell's and MJ didn't take a single ounce of credit for it. Absolute respect for MJ

@bellaangelo8064

@mackjeez
Absolutely wrong, where do you get your facts from?
Rockwell's father is Berry Gordy, he wrote many hit songs for The Jackson 5, Rockwell's sister Hazel was married to Michael Jackson's brother Jermaine at the time.
The truth is that Rockwell recorded a 3 track demo, he showed it to his father and the reply was pretty much don't quit your day job. When Rockwell was signed 6 months later to Motown his dad was pissed off.
Rockwell was close to Jermain not Michael because of the close familly ties through marriage, Jermaine had invited him over to the Jackson house for dinner, Rockwell stated his mission was to ask Jermaine to do the background vocals and chorus, after the meal was over the only person left in the dining room was Michael , so Rockwell asked him if he would listen to his new demo in order to get some pointers, he then proceeded sing it, Michael was so amazed he called the rest of familly to listen to it, Michael then coincidentally suggested to him that he needed background vocals and asked him if he had anyone in mind, Rockwell jokingly said to Michael "why don't you do it", Michael accepted and even recruited Jermaine.
As for why Michael and Jermaine where not credited that has nothing to do with Michael but Motown. Michal was suppose to be credited but Motown decided not to promote Rockwell’s relationship to his father or Michael, so they would release the track but without credit to the Jacksons, they would also tell Rockwell not to say his real name and never state that he's the son of Berry Gordy. They even made Rockwell have a fake English accent when speaking public since they did not want people associating him especially with his father. Motown was pretty much protecting their ass. One year later it came out that Michael was on the track and Rockwell was Gordy's son, it was major backlash, as the media called him a fake artist and that he got famous through familly connections, that was the end of his career.
