Nerd Cave
MC Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
Get baked like everyday my birthday
Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

I know it's wrong all day long in a coma
Watching Troma eating powdered donuts
Got a Big Gulp always time for soda
Can't get up even though I am a grown up

I like to read, smoke weed, throw skeet grenades
I got the cul-de-sac crack, got sticky for days
I got a kid from Mississip' talking shit in my ear
I'd ask everyone over but that would be weird

I like HBO shows, Dead Wood and The Wire
Got all the bounty hunters from coda-buh-ki
I got the Lego 8080s, really like dust
All I ask is that you don't touch my series of busts

But still my exposition is in frankly mint condition
When I get itchin', practice being a magician
When I get tore up; someone's thrown up in the kitchen
That's a kitchenette that you can bet that is bitchin'

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
I get baked like everyday my birthday
Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
Get baked like everyday my birthday
Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

I start smellin' when I'm dwellin' in my nerd cave
Gotta 'bate 'cause I cannot get a first date
Spank bank eternal case of worst case
I'm a side boob dude watch me burst paste

I know it's bad having a pad as a bachelor
I know it's weak, having to speak dealer password.
Bagel bites is my vice also fast food.
I don't get at you 'cause I'm in a bad mood.

Got a stack of Blockbusters all past due.
Got a stack of back issues in the bathroom.
Got a lack of motivation and a vacuum.
No regrets, just sweats and my tattoos.

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
I get baked like everyday my birthday
Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
Get baked like everyday my birthday
Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
Get baked like everyday my birthday
Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

I don't shave when I'm chilling in my nerd cave
Get baked like everyday my birthday




Antisocial with anxiety and acne
So I settle for surround and a flat screen

Overall Meaning

The song "Nerd Cave" by MC Chris is a depiction of his time spent alone in his space of comfort, his "nerd cave." The first verse explains how he lets himself go while in his nerd cave and doesn't bother to shave, while he indulges in some marijuana to relax. He is anti-social and feels very anxious about being around others, which leads him to surround himself with objects such as his flat-screen TV. He acknowledges that this is not a healthy lifestyle and that he's not doing himself any good by staying in his own bubble.


The second verse is all about MC Chris's hobbies: reading, smoking weed, playing video games, playing with Legos, and watching TV. Although he has a child in Mississippi talking trash to him, he knows that inviting people over wouldn't be the right move for him. He then goes on to talk about the world-building aspect of his niche hobbies and how he treats them with care and precision. The line "all I ask is that you don't touch my series of busts" is a humorous nod to the collectible plastic figures that many comic book and sci-fi fans are known to collect.


Overall, the song is a lighthearted and humorous commentary on the life of a "nerd" who finds comfort in his niche hobbies and can sometimes let himself go while indulging in them.
