Beau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Welcome to the only place where I can reign supreme.
Welcome to this place, welcome to my stronghold.
Please stay a while and see just what I mean.
Come and take my hand, let me introduce you
To places you have never been before.
Let me show you peace, let me show you reason;
Now that you are here, welcome to my prison
Where hate and conflict languish side by side.
Come and see my house, come and see my mansion
Which I alone have built, where I reside,
But now the time has come for you to be a'leaving
So don't forget what you have left behind.
I don't know who you are, I don't know how you entered,
I only know that you've seen inside my mind.
But now that you are here, welcome to my kingdom,
Welcome to the only place where I can reign supreme.
Welcome to this place, welcome to my stronghold.
Please stay a while and see just what I mean.
The song "Welcome" by Beau is a warm invitation to the listeners to enter the songwriter's personal world. The first stanza of the song instantly sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The songwriter is referring to their mind as a kingdom, where they alone are in charge. The lyrics describe the persona's world as a "stronghold" where they have complete control and power over their thoughts and emotions. This can be seen in the line "Welcome to the only place where I can reign supreme."
The songwriter then invites the listeners to join them on their journey, promising to lead them to places they have never been before. The songwriter wants to show their guests the beauty of the world they have created in their mind. They offer the guests a sense of peace and reason, something they may not have experienced before. The songwriter wants the listeners to explore the real depth of their mind and experience it in all its glory.
However, the persona also points out that their mind is a "prison" where hate and conflict reside. This suggests that although the songwriter invites the listener in their mental world, they should be aware that there are negative aspects to it as well. The last few lines of the song imply that the guest must eventually leave, but the songwriter encourages them to remember what they have discovered in the kingdom. Overall, the song symbolizes the complexity of the human mind and its capability to create both beauty and negativity.
