Alice Merton - No Roots - Lyrics

Alice Merton - No Roots - Lyrics
I like digging holes and, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I build a home and wait for, someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
Cause, I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I like standing still, but that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
But I've got memories and, travel like gypsies in the night
I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I've got memories and, travel like gypsies in the night
And a thousand times I've seen this road
A thousand times
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them
I've got no roots!
No roots!
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
But my home, was never on the ground
I've got no roots
I've got no roots
No!

I was tossed around foster home to foster home. I had to teach myself that home was inside my heart, not where I physically was. This is what this song means to me.

I work in a call center, and this is our hold music. Trust me, it gets old fast...

[@batgirl.with.glasses5281]

I can relate to this song because I am a military child. I moved for the first time when I was 1 years old, moved again when I was 4, 7, 9, 12, and when I turned 16 some months ago. I’ve gone to three different elementary schools, one middle school, and two high schools. Can any of my fellow military kids relate?

[@coleslaww4346]

Navy brat here!! I can so relate, considering that the only states i haven't lived in are Alaska and Hawaii. "Since I Saw Vienna" by Wilbur Soot gives me military brat vibes too along with this one. I hated the fact that I was always just barely casting my line out to the water so I would get hurt less when we left. Sure makes it hard to find things that are permanent.

[@dodgerfinnboltbalto2593]

Not military but I’ve moved with my mother like 6 times before I became 15 it SUCKS

[@symatra]

This song was definitely written by a squirrel

[@SolSeal2004]

[@matthewmontegut9159]

When I was younger (teenage, and young adult) I used to bury things back behind my dad's service station (we were there almost 50 years), planning on getting them years later. He sold the place in '08, but I still pass by there today, and I think about those things .. what all that I buried in those holes, that I can't get to, today. -
"… I like digging holes and hiding things inside them

"Ask me where I come from" I will definitely say "I'm from a different land" 😂😂😂
