Under My Rock
Patrick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're walking right behind me
Where is it? Please remind me
Oh yeah, under my rock
Under my rock
Here's the bed that I lie in
Laugh and sigh and cry in
Under my rock
Under my rock
It's cold and hard and kind of gray
(Under my rock)
It's the only place I'll ever stay
(Under my rock)
Got snacks in a free telephone
(Under my rock)
In this stone that I call home
Let's rock
I got a welcome mat and dirty socks
A sink, a table and a secret box
Myself and me can be alone
In my stone that I call home
That's the chair, I sometimes doze on
The hanky I blow my nose on
Hey, my favorite show's on
Under my rock
Under my rock
I guess that completes our tour
So let me show you to the door
That's all, there ain't no more
Under my rock
Under my rock
Boys, take it home
Oh, I already am home
(Under my rock)
Yeah, it's where we are
(Under my rock)
Still here
(Under my rock)
This is prime real estate, baby
(Under my rock)
Everything I need, I got right here
(Under my rock)
I don't need to go anywhere else
(Under my rock)
It ain't much but it's a place to hang my hat
(Under my rock)
I don't wear a hat, I wear shorts
I can hang my shorts there
(Under my rock)
Stand back, I'm taking 'em off
Hey, where's everybody going?
The lyrics to this song appear to be an ode to a recluse's life. The singer positions himself under his rock, which is the only place he refers to as home. He has a bed, snacks, and a telephone inside, and he claims to have everything he needs. He seems to be content with his life under the rock, going about his day-to-day activities of laughing, crying, and eating a piece of pie. He is quite defensive about his living situation, declaring that it's desirable real estate and that he doesn't need to go anywhere else. The singer takes the listener on a brief tour of his humble abode, pointing out the chair he dozes on, the hanky he blows his nose on, and the table where he presumably eats his pie.
The lyrics of this song can be interpreted in various ways, depending on the listener's perspective. One interpretation is that the singer is taking a stand against the pressures of modern-day society and the rat race, by choosing to opt-out of that lifestyle and instead, live a simpler life under his rock. Another interpretation could be that the singer could be someone who has chosen to isolate themselves from society, seeking refuge and comfort in their rock.
