Welcome To My Nightmare
R.L. Stine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something underneath my bed
Did I open the closet door
How did that clown get on the floor
I shouldn't watch to much TV
Feels like the walls are closing in on me I tell myself it's just a dream
And then I wake up and
SCREAM
And not it's killng me
Welcome to my Nightmare
I don't know what to do
To rid my mind of you
But it won't go away so
Welcome to my Nightmare
R.L. Stine's Welcome to my Nightmare is a hauntingly poignant tale of a broken home. The repeated phrase "welcome to my fucking broken home" sets a tone of despair and anger. It's evident that the singer of the song doesn't like this place, and these walls are hiding all the shit that goes on inside. These lyrics are an analogy to the secrets that exist within the walls of a house that can destroy relationships and families. The next two lines "Can you feel the bliss? Can you taste the paradise?" are almost sarcastic, as if inviting the listener to experience the false sense of happiness that has been created in this dysfunctional household.
The line "I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy a smile" is one of the most poignantly evocative in the song. It's an expression of how the singer is trying to find a way to cope and escape the sadness that surrounds them. The chorus "This is my, this is my home. We're breaking down, we're breaking down" is a desperate cry for help, as if there is no escaping the cycle of abuse and heartbreak that exists in this household. The line "Where you stand is where you'll end" is indicative that the cycle may not be broken in the future generations to come.

Welcome to my, welcome to my fucking broken home!
This is my terrible home and I'm acknowledging it with extreme language.
Can you feel the bliss?
Do you sense how great this is?
Can you taste the paradise?
Can you experience the paradise?
I hate this place, it tears me apart
This place is dreadful and destroys me from within.
and these walls hide all the shit that goes on inside.
The walls here conceal all of the negative things that occur here in secrecy.
This is an awful place, but this is my home (and we're miles away from anything)
Although it's unappealing, it still belongs to me (and it's isolated).
Where you stand, is where you'll end. (we're breaking down, we're breaking down)
Where you are right now is where you'll remain permanently. (We're deteriorating, we're deteriorating)
I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy a smile.
I'm searching for the most cost-effective method to appear happy.
This is my, this is my home.
This is my own house.
We're breaking down, we're breaking down.
We're gradually falling apart.

Thank y'all for the audio books. The Goosebumps series are one of the best kinds of books to read, or listen to somebody read. God, and Jesus bless all of us.
