The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Alex on the Spot" by the artist "Will.I.Am"

Contents

The lyrics of Will.I.Am's "Alex on the Spot" tell a story of alienation and the search for belonging. The speaker has traveled the world ("been all around the globe") but felt out of place and like an outsider ("didn't feel at home"). He longs for a place where he is known and accepted ("take me where everybody knows my name").

The chorus is a release, a burst of energy. The speaker is on the dance floor, he is "king," in his element. Music and dance bring him to life ("spin the record, I'll come alive"). The atmosphere is electric, the crowd caught in a "tropical heat."

Finally, the speaker finds his place, his "home" where he feels comfortable and confident, like a "king upon his throne." The long journey is over, he has found his paradise. The repetition of "this is my home" emphasizes the significance of this discovery for the speaker.

The song ends with exclamations of joy and satisfaction: "hey, I, hey I." He has achieved his goal, he has found his home, his happiness.

I've been around the world in the pouring rain

Feeling out of place, I'm feeling strange.

Take me to a place where they know my name,

Where everyone knows my name...

Check it сheck it out while I'm might do my thing,

King of the floor, king of the swing

Play a little beat, I'll be your dancing machine,

Play a little jam, I'll come alive, alive, alive

{They've got jungle fever, show them some love)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

This is my home, this is my home,

King of the throne, this is my home,

This is my home, this is my home,

This is my home...

See I've been traveling,

Been traveling forever,

But now that I'm finally home,

Feels like I'm in heaven,

See I've been traveling,

Been traveling forever,

But now that I'm home,

Feels like I'm in heaven, (heaven, heaven)

Hey, hey, hey, yeah, ya,

I'm a work it, work it out,

I'm, (Hey ya, hey ya)

I'm, (Check it, check it out)

I'm okay now (Hey ya, hey ya)
