Phil Soussen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song "Welcome to My Nightmare" by Phil Soussen is a classic hard rock song that explores the dark and twisted world of nightmares. The lyrics invite the listener into the singer's nightmare, which he believes they will enjoy and even feel a sense of belonging in. The dream-like state the singer is in is caused by unnecessary sedation, and he describes it as a form of vacation, albeit a nocturnal one. The lyrics suggest that this nightmare is not something to be afraid of, but rather something to embrace because life is just a dream here.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Welcome to my nightmare" followed by "Welcome to my breakdown." The breakdown could be interpreted as a moment of vulnerability, where the singer drops his guard and allows the listener to experience his true emotions. The lyrics then say, "I hope I didn't scare you, that's just the way we are when we come down." This line could be seen as the singer reassuring the listener that everyone has moments of vulnerability and that it is okay.
The song is full of metaphors and vivid imagery that take the listener on a journey through the singer's subconscious. The repeated phrase "You belong" suggests that the listener is not alone in their nightmares, even when they feel isolated and frightened. Overall, the song explores the idea that embracing our fears and vulnerabilities can lead to a sense of belonging and acceptance.
