Welcome To My Nightmare
Randy Castillo 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
Randy Castillo's song "Welcome to My Nightmare" is an invitation from the singer to the listener, to join him on a nocturnal journey through his own personal hell. The song paints a vivid picture of a place where the rules of reality don't apply and where people come to escape their troubles. The lyrics describe the place as a sort of twisted version of the real world where people can be themselves and feel at home. The same atmosphere that would scare others is what welcomes the listener to Randy's world.
The chorus, "Welcome to my nightmare, I think you're gonna like it, I think you're gonna feel you belong," is particularly interesting. It's almost as if Randy is saying that even though this place he's describing might seem like a nightmare to others, it's a place where people like him can be themselves and thrive. The use of the word "breakdown" in the song is also noteworthy, as it suggests that Randy has been through some difficult times himself and that the place he is inviting us to is his own personal way of coping with his troubles.
