The Reviews about Welcome To My Life (page 1/ 6)
------ performed by Simple Plan
Meh....my school speech lol i took out names of teachers for student/teacher confidentiality reasons lmao | Reviewer: Gaowy | 5/25/2008The text I have chosen to present to you is the song “welcome to my life” by simple plan. This song deals with personal appeal for the persona presented by the composer. It is trying to show us how it feels to be an outsider and does this by asking us rhetorical questions and comparing his life with ours. The composer structures this song to make the responder appear as the insider and appeals to our emotions to try and make us gain understanding.
This song shows many ideas about the concept of the outsider. Some ideas presented are the feeling of loneliness and not belonging. These ideas are shown throughout the song through its verses and chorus. The structure of the song supports these ideas with the use of three distinct verses which vary in content and the chorus to reinforce these ideas of the outsider. The first two verses ask questions whereas the third verse is a comparison of the composer to the listener.
In the first verse the author asks us about our feelings to show what and how he feels with lines such as “do you ever feel like breaking down?” and “do you ever feel out of place?” these rhetorical questions although do not directly show us that the composer is experiencing these feelings but we know he is because he uses the chorus to state that this is how he feels with repeated lines such as “you don’t know what its like to be like me” and “welcome to my life”
In the second verse ideas of “not belonging” are shown by the composer writing about how he doesn’t fit in and how perceives how others treat him with lines such as “do you wanna be somebody else?” and “with their big fake smiles and stupid lies” the composer also uses strong emotive language in this verse with the metaphorical line “while deep inside your bleeding” to convey these ideas. Again the composer does directly show that this is what he’s feeling in this verse but uses the chorus to show the responders instead with the same lines.
In the third verse the composer the techniques used are different and as he does not use questions anymore. In this verse the author somewhat describes whoever hears it as alienated or ignorant from the pains of life. With the words "No one ever lied straight to your face and no one ever stabbed you in the back” this is strong emotive languages that really engages the listener.
My original understanding of the outsider was that an outsider is a person or group who does not belong or is unfamiliar or excluded. This text has broadened my understanding greatly. It has shown me that the outsider does not just exist in a physical term but also in an emotional way too.

Amazing! | Reviewer: Oktober Laine | 4/20/2008
This song is truely amazing. It describes me in a way that no other song has ever come close to. I thank you, Simple Plan, for making such a great song that I can relate to in this way. This is the song of my life.
good song but | Reviewer: critical thinking | 2/18/2008
i love this song because i can relate to it. but the fact is, the author in the song somewhat describes whoever hears it as alienated or ignorant from the pains of life. i mean, if we can all relate to it how come the author tells everyone that, "hey welcome to my life, you don't know how it's like, you know nothing about what im going through". it's ironic and contradicting in a sense. maybe it's called oxymoron.
how true... | Reviewer: Tiffany | 1/11/2008
