Welcome Home
Heaven's Basement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come in, you've sinned
Mother fucker it's a new beginning
You lose, I win
Now you're stuck and it's too late for running

Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel
Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell yeah
Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell
I can hear you ringing the bell

Welcome home
The Devil's own
If you're dying in the fire it's better if you're not alone
Welcome home

No shame, this game
Once you come inside you know you're never the same yeah
No one, to blame
Welcome to the family with no last name

Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel
Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell yeah
Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell
I can hear you ringing the bell

Welcome home
The Devil's own
If you're dying in the fire it's better if you're not alone
Welcome home

Come in, you've sinned
Mother fucker it's a new beginning
You lose, I win
Now you're stuck and it's too late for running

Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel
Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell yeah
Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell
I can hear you ringing the bell

Welcome home
The Devil's own




If you're dying in the fire it's better if you're not alone
Welcome home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Heaven's Basement's "Welcome Home" seem to be about someone who has sinned and is now facing the consequences of their actions, but rather than being punished, they are welcomed into a new world. The song begins with a confrontational tone - "Come in, you've sinned" - suggesting that the singer has no choice but to face what awaits them. The lines 'Mother fucker it's a new beginning' and 'You lose, I win' further indicate that this new world may not be what they expected. The lyric 'Now you're stuck and it's too late for running' suggests that the singer has no choice but to accept their fate.


The imagery in the second verse is striking; 'Dancing in the river on the bed of an angel' and 'Drinking dirty water from the fountain of hell'. These lines suggest both the beauty and the danger of the new world the singer has entered. The line 'Sleeping with the enemy but don't ever tell' adds an element of secrecy and danger. The repeated chorus of 'Welcome home' and 'The Devil's own' suggest that the singer has entered into a new family, but it's not a normal family - it's one with 'no last name'. They are now a part of something that is other-worldly and beyond what we know.


Overall, the song Welcome Home is about acceptance and of being welcomed into a new world, albeit one that is not without its dangers. It speaks to the human desire to belong, even if that means being a part of something less than noble.

Religion is a scam anyways. We're already all burning in the fire. It's called Earth.
