Now we shall do another song analysis. "Welcome to my life" by Simple Plan. It's not the best song ever written (obviously and luckily). The tune is simple, but this is SIMPLE Plan, so what can be expected? The lyrics are not THAT great and the voices can't be described as good. The message is somewhat provocative. Only millions of people feel like the singer, that could qualify as "nobody"... The lyrics are in green and the commentary is in yellow.

"Welcome To My Life"

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Who doesn't these days?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Is "yes" an accurate answer?
Like somehow you just don't belong
Where's the syntax in that?
And no one understands you
The way you write no wonder no one understands you.
Do you ever wanna run away?
Yerp, defo.
Do you lock yourself in your room?
Nope, although that could be an idea; hate it when people come barging in.
With the radio on turned up so loud
Nope, have all the songs on the Mac and a little less on the PC.
That no one hears you screaming
No, actually the music is to block out the NEIGHBOURS' screaming.

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
Luckily, we don't all want to be as idiotic as you!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
That's nearly all correct except for the "you don't know what it's like" part.

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Not really. Where's the point in living someone else's life, when it's worse than yours?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Relatively; mostly I want to be left alone though.
Are you desperate to find something more?
There's more?! Wow, who knew?
Before your life is over
Obviously! It's a little late when it's over...
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Most days.
Are you sick of everyone around?
The neighbours can become VERY annoying.
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
Don't get much of that.
While deep inside you're bleeding
Quite.

No you don't know what it's like
Yes, we do!
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
What can be said about this?

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Thanks for the welcome, but no thanks.

No one ever lied straight to your face
Actually they have...
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
They've also done this...
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
What are we supposed to do about this?
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Hardly.
You never had to work it was always there
That's what you think.
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
Oh, shut up!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
I'm surprised you don't drown in all your self-pity!

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
OKAY, finally he shut up. It was startin' to get repetitive.
