Welcome
Yeti Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I know you've got something to say
You've been laughing away
You think they'll all come out
To tell a story about you

In your head you're a star of the screen
A socialite fiend
But it's only a dream
No ones bothered about you

You're caught up in being beautiful
Welcome to the test
Welcome to the test

When you're down you make those boys
Make lots of noise
You'll play with toys
Just to make them love you

But it never ends as well as you think
It leaves you back on the brink
So then you snort and you drink
Until it feels an untruth

Underneath there's something beautiful
Welcome to the test
Welcome to the test





Well I know, you're always coming down
And you say you'll get your feet back on the ground
