Welcome To My Life
Sunrise Avenue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is not really me
You're an angel not asking who I am
You understand
That is not really you
You look at me as if I'm something more
Well, dream on

Welcome to my life
You see it is not easy
But I'm doing all right
Welcome to my dream
It's the only one who needs me
And stays right by my side

Welcome to my wonderland
It'll take time to find out where we stand
In all this mess
There was the first day for me too
And I had no guide and I was lost like you
I still am

But it makes me feel alive

So welcome to my life
You see it is not easy
But I'm doing all right
Welcome to my dream
It's the only one who needs me
And stays right by my side

Once upon a time there was a guy
He thought life is a joyride of ladies and red wine
He was so sure he'd get the prices and all the glory with his rhymes
He'd never need no one to be there beside him
Now they're all surrounding me and I feel lonely
So lonely

Welcome to my life
You see it is not easy
But I'm doing all right
Welcome to my dream
It's the only one who needs me
And stays right by my side

Welcome to my life
You see it is not easy
But I'm doing all right
Welcome to my dream




It's the only one who needs me
And stays right by my side

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sunrise Avenue's song Welcome To My Life express the feelings of the singer about his life. He feels that the person with whom he is talking does not really understand him, and that he does not understand the other person either. The lyrics suggest that even though people may seem confident and self-assured, they can often feel lost and alone, like the singer of the song. The line "So welcome to my life" can be viewed as an invitation to the listener to understand the struggles and challenges that the singer is facing.


The lyrics also convey a sense of hope, as the singer acknowledges that he is "doing all right" and that his dreams are the only things that he can rely on. He acknowledges that finding one's place in the world can take time, but also suggests that this process can be empowering and fulfilling. The repetition of the phrase "Welcome to my life" suggests that the singer is not alone in his struggles and that others may also be facing similar challenges.


Line by Line Meaning

This is not really me
I'm not showing my full self to you


You're an angel not asking who I am
You're kind for not prying into my true identity


You understand
You get it


That is not really you
You're not showing your full self to me either


You look at me as if I'm something more
You're treating me like I'm special


Well, dream on
Keep dreaming, because it's not true


Welcome to my life
Come experience my reality


You see it is not easy
My life is difficult


But I'm doing all right
Despite the challenges, I'm managing


Welcome to my dream
Come see what I aspire to


It's the only one who needs me
My dream is the only thing that truly motivates me


And stays right by my side
It's always there for me


Welcome to my wonderland
Come explore my world that's filled with uncertainty


It'll take time to find out where we stand
It's going to be a journey for both of us to figure out our relationship


In all this mess
Despite the chaos


There was the first day for me too
I started off in the same place as you


And I had no guide and I was lost like you
I didn't have anyone to show me the way either, and I'm still struggling


I still am
I'm still lost


But it makes me feel alive
The uncertainty and struggle give me a sense of purpose


Once upon a time there was a guy
Let me tell you a story about someone else's experience


He thought life is a joyride of ladies and red wine
He believed life was easy and full of pleasure


He was so sure he'd get the prices and all the glory with his rhymes
He thought success would come easily to him as a musician


He'd never need no one to be there beside him
He thought he could be successful on his own


Now they're all surrounding me and I feel lonely
Despite his success, he's lonely


So lonely
Very lonely

This is not really me
You're an angel
Not asking who i am
You understand
That is not really you
You look at me as if i'm something more
Well dream on
Welcome to my life
You see it is not easy
But i'm doing alright
Welcome to my dream
It's the only one who needs me
And stays right by my side
Welcome to my wonderland
It'll take time
To find out where we stand
In all this mess
There was the first day for me too

So lonely

Only two songs have ever make me shed a tear. Let her go - Passenger made me break into tears. This made me drop a single tear. Amazing, very few songs manage to do so.
