Welcome tonight
Welcome, welcome tonight
Where we come alive…
(Snap, snap)
Where we come alive
Lights paint the bay, we're losing track of time
Your skin tastes like summer, salt and turpentine
Ocean keeps our secrets, stars refuse to tell
We're rewriting history under this spell
Barefoot in the sand with nothing left to prove
Every stranger here knows exactly how to move
Raise your hands up, feel the night ignite
Every heartbeat syncing to the strobe light
Close your eyes and taste the paradise
This is living on the edge of......
Welcome tonight, where we forget our names
Welcome tonight, where nothing stays the same
From the ocean to the neon glow
We're infinite, immortal, losing control
Welcome tonight-yeah, we own the sky
Welcome tonight-yeah, we're born to fly
This is our moment, no compromise
Welcome tonight-we're so alive
(Chop: “Wel-wel-welcome”)
We're alive, we're alive, tonight we're alive
(Chop: “Born-born to fly”)
We're alive, we're alive, we own the sky
Bonfires burning where the wild ones meet
Your body's speaking languages the DJ can't repeat
Paradise was never somewhere on a map
It's in this chaos, in this perfect trap
Your shadow dances closer than my own regrets
Every rule we're breaking, we'll never forget
Young and dangerous, beautifully insane
Let them judge tomorrow-tonight we reign
[Pre-Chorus | rising synths, layered vocals | Build]
Raise your hands up, feel the night ignite
Every heartbeat syncing to the strobe light
Close your eyes and taste the paradise
This is living on the edge of.......
Welcome tonight, where we forget our names (forget it all)
Welcome tonight, where nothing stays the same (never the same)
From the ocean to the neon glow
We're infinite, immortal, losing control
Welcome tonight-yeah, we own the sky (we own it all)
Welcome tonight-yeah, we're born to fly (so high)
This is our moment, no compromise
Welcome tonight-we're so alive
(Chop: “Wel-wel-welcome”)
We're alive, we're alive, tonight we're alive
(Chop: “Born-born to fly”)
We're alive, we're alive, we own the sky
Stars above us like a crown
Ocean pulls but we won't drown
Can you feel it in your soul?
Letting go is taking control
Hold this moment, make it last
Leave behind, behind the past
WE OWN THE WORLD TONIGHT!
Yeah, WE OWN THE WORLD TONIGHT!
Welcome tonight, where we forget our names (forget it all)
Welcome tonight, where nothing stays the same (never the same)
From the ocean to the neon glow
We're infinite, immortal, losing control
Welcome tonight-yeah, we own the sky
Welcome tonight-yeah, we're born to fly
This is our moment, no compromise
Welcome tonight-we're so alive
Welcome, welcome, we own the sky…
(chant underneath) Tonight, tonight, tonight
Welcome, welcome, we're born to fly…
Welcome tonight… we're alive
(final whisper)
…we're alive
Welcome tonight - intention
Version en anglais
Welcome Tonight is a celebration of the present moment. The song speaks of those rare nights when everything aligns, when roles, expectations, and masks fall away, leaving only full presence.
The setting is both sunlit and nocturnal. The sea, the music, bodies in motion. Beyond the euphoria lies a simple idea: the present as the only real territory, without projection or escape.
The lyrics create a space outside of time. A shared moment where rules dissolve and the boundaries between self and others begin to blur. This is not an escape, but a suspension. A deep breath taken before reality returns.
At its core, this song represents a form of conscious freedom. Not the kind that destroys, but the kind that brings people together. An instant where joyful chaos, artificial light, and a shared pulse are fully embraced.
If one idea remains after listening, let it be this: sometimes, fully living a single night is enough to remember that you are still alive.
Version en français
Welcome Tonight est une célébration de l’instant présent. La chanson évoque ces nuits rares où tout s’aligne, où l’on laisse tomber les rôles, les attentes et les masques pour simplement être là, pleinement présent.
Le décor est à la fois solaire et nocturne. La mer, la musique, les corps en mouvement. Derrière l’euphorie se cache une idée simple : le présent comme seul territoire réel, sans projection ni fuite.
Les paroles dessinent un espace hors du temps. Un moment collectif où les règles s’effacent et où les frontières entre soi et les autres deviennent floues. Ce n’est pas une évasion, mais une suspension. Une respiration intense avant le retour du réel.
Au fond, cette chanson incarne une liberté assumée. Pas celle qui détruit, mais celle qui rassemble. Un instant où l’on accepte le chaos joyeux, la lumière artificielle et le battement commun.
S’il ne devait rester qu’une idée à l’écoute, ce serait celle-ci : parfois, vivre pleinement une nuit suffit à se rappeler que l’on est encore vivant.
