Intro/Get It On
King Gordy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to my nightmare
I think you're gonna like it
I think you're gonna feel
You belong

A nocturnal vacation
Unnecessary sedation
You want to feel at home
Cause you belong

Welcome to my nightmare, yeah
Welcome to my breakdown
I hope I didn't scare you
That's just the way we are
When we come down

We sweat and laugh and scream here
Cause life is just a dream here
You know inside you feel
Right at home here

Welcome to my breakdown, whoa
You're welcome to my nightmare, yeah

Welcome to my nightmare
I know you're gonna like it
I think you're gonna feel
You belong

We sweat, laugh and scream here
Cause life is just a dream here
You know inside you feel
Right at home here
Welcome to my nightmare, whoa
Welcome to my breakdown





Welcome to my breakdown, whoa
Welcome to my nightmare, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Intro/Get It On" by King Gordy welcomes the audience to a dark and twisted world. The songwriter believes that the audience will enjoy being part of this world and that they will feel a sense of belonging. The lyrics describe this world as a "nocturnal vacation," indicating that it is only accessible at night, and it requires sedation to enter fully. Despite the eerie nature of this world, the songwriter is confident that the audience will feel right at home since they belong.


Throughout the song, King Gordy uses clever wordplay to create a sense of unease (e.g., "welcome to my breakdown"), but he also reassures his audience that this is a part of who they are. He describes how everyone "sweats and laughs and screams" in this world because it is only a dream. However, in this dream world, people can let loose their inhibitions and be themselves, which creates a sense of belonging.


Overall, the song suggests that there is an alternate reality where people can feel at home, even though it is bittersweet and dark. King Gordy encourages the audience to embrace this world and to make the most of it because it is a part of who they are.
