"Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell is a paranoid anthem with lyrics about feeling like someone is always watching and monitoring the lead vocalist's life. The lyrics describe an average man trying to live an average life, but feeling constantly uncomfortable, like in "The Twilight Zone." He is worried about the people on TV watching him and feels unsafe in his own home. Rockwell even suggests that the IRS might be watching him, indicating a fear of authority figures and a lack of privacy. The chorus, featuring Michael Jackson's iconic "hee-hee," is a repetitive declaration of feeling spied upon by an unknown observer. Ultimately, the song speaks to the fear of loss of privacy and the unease that comes from living in a world where cameras and technology pervade every aspect of our lives.
