"Welcome to My Apocalypse" by JT Machinima is a song inspired by the video game "Fallout 4" and adopts the perspective of the player character (known as the Sole Survivor) in a post-apocalyptic world. The lyrics express the character's determination, resilience, and power as they navigate through the wasteland. The song opens with the line "Sweet child of mine, You're S.P.E.C.I.A.L," referencing the character's SPECIAL attributes (Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck) in the game. The character is portrayed as extraordinary, unmatched by anyone else in the world. The lyrics mention the "freedom trail," which is a reference to a quest line in the game that leads the player to important locations. The player character sees this journey as a path to their own personal apocalypse, where they can unleash their full potential. The chorus repeats the phrase "Welcome to my apocalypse," emphasizing the character's dominance and their intention to tear apart the world they inhabit. They are powerful and ready to face any challenges that come their way. The song also references the player character's return to Boston, the setting of the game, after emerging from Vault 111. It highlights the destruction caused by nuclear bombs and the presence of mutated creatures, as well as the character's willingness to face these threats head-on. Throughout the song, the lyrics vividly describe the character's experiences in the wasteland, their encounters with enemies, their reliance on chems (in-game drugs), and their determination to rebuild and thrive. The lyrics also touch upon the character's memories and losses, the struggles they face, and their desire for redemption. They mention their addiction to looting and scavenging for supplies, their mastery of combat and weaponry, and their exploration of various locations and quests in the game. Overall, "Welcome to My Apocalypse" serves as an anthem for the player character who is portrayed as an unstoppable force in the post-apocalyptic world of "Fallout 4." The song captures the essence of the game's themes of survival, power, and the constant struggle to rebuild in a harsh and unforgiving environment.
