Where My Diamonds Hide
J Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the days are ending
and iron's smelting
The dreams we see
while we're sound asleep
And the thieves chain mail
helped them tread through hell
All of my traps failed
Now my ores run stale

I wanna hide my stuff
so they won't have a clue
Cuz fate has not been kind
Need a place they won't find
Even when they don't need
they still are made of greed
How could I be so dumb
How could I be so dumb

I put it in my house
I thought it would be safe
It's where my diamonds hide
It's where my diamonds hide
Don't get too close
I put traps inside
It's where my diamonds hide
It's where my diamonds hide

So I learned my lesson
and moved my chest
and I crafted weapons
you won't suspect
And I dug a hole
and I set my trap
When you think you've won
justice will be done

And you wont get my stuff
cuz you don't have a clue
and finally fate's been kind
cuz you blew up this time
Even when you don't need
you still are made of greed
This time I won't be dumb
This time I won't be dumb

It won't go in my house
but somewhere else that's safe
It's where my diamonds hide
It's where my diamonds hide
Don't get too close
I put traps inside
It's where my diamonds hide
It's where my diamonds hide

You don't know how you died
All you can do is cry
cuz you don't know where my
where my diamonds hide
Explosion was so loud
I heard it from my house
You oughta know by know
I'll never show you how

I put it in my house
I thought it would be safe
It's where my diamonds hide
It's where my diamonds hide
Don't get too close
I put traps inside




It's where my diamonds hide
It's where my diamonds hide

In the second verse, the singer highlights their efforts to move the chest, craft weapons and set traps to protect their diamonds. They also mention that justice will be served because of the traps when the thieves think they've won.

When the days are ending
As the end of the day draws near


and iron's smelting
And the furnaces are hot, melting down iron for crafting


The dreams we see
The dreams we have at night


while we're sound asleep
As we sleep soundly


And the thieves chain mail
Criminals wearing protective chain mail armor


helped them tread through hell
Helped them successfully navigate the difficult and dangerous terrain


All of my traps failed
All the attempts to protect my valuables were unsuccessful


Now my ores run stale
Now my valuable minerals are becoming depleted


I wanna hide my stuff
I want to conceal my valuable items


so they won't have a clue
So potential thieves won't have any idea where my valuables are located


Cuz fate has not been kind
Because bad luck has followed me in the past


Need a place they won't find
I require a location that will be impossible for others to discover


Even when they don't need
Even when they have no use for it


they still are made of greed
People are still driven by their desire for wealth


How could I be so dumb
I am questioning my previous mistakes

This is the location of my hidden valuables


Don't get too close
It's important to keep a distance

justice will be done
They will be caught and punished

Secret hiding place for my valuable diamonds


Explosion was so loud
The booby traps I set off were extremely powerful

You oughta know by know
By now you should be aware


I'll never show you how
I'll never reveal the true location of my valuables
