Alice Merton No Roots

The song is about not having roots and traveling like gypsies. The singer enjoys digging holes and hiding things to find later. They built a home but someone tore it down, so they packed up and moved to the next town. When asked where they come from, they say a different place each time. Though the places change, their memories and lifestyle of traveling remain the same. The core message is repeated throughout - that the singer has no roots and their home was never in one place.

Alice Merton, No Roots

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them


When I’ll grow old I hope I won’t forget to find them
cause I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
I built a home and wait for someone to rear 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 got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
I got no roots
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
I got no roots

I like standing still, boy that’s just a wistful 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 can’t get the number, and play the guessing name
it’s just the place the 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 got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
I got no roots
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
I got no roots

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them


When I’ll grow old I hope I won’t forget to find them
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I’ll grow old I hope I won’t forget to find them
no roots

I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
I got no roots
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
but my home was never on the ground
I got no roots
I got no roots
