The message within this track by Drowning Pool delves into the emotional turmoil of breaking free from a toxic relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and frustration, highlighting the conflict between deeply held resentment and the desire to avoid becoming an adversary. The protagonist takes the "high road," choosing to distance themselves even though it comes with suffering. They acknowledge the pain and transformation endured but refuse to let the negative words and actions define them. This internal struggle is evident as they grapple with their identity, ultimately rejecting the notion of becoming an enemy despite the persistent adversity. The song encapsulates the strength and resolve needed to walk away and choose a better path for oneself.
Enemy
Lyrics
The words you used were mine, used a thousand times
Doesn't make them what I've bled
I hated you, I loathed you
Though felt, I never let the words begin to spill
Make me sick 'till I can't breathe
Never want to be your enemy
Silence me, so I can't be,
Never want to be your enemy
I walk the
High road away from you
God knows what I've been through
This is the life I have, this is the life I choose
I walked away, the high road away from you
Walk away, walk away, you made an enemy
I never, I never wanted, I never wanted to poison or burn through
Labeled malcontent, by bastards of decent,
Excuse this place I stand, words are to elude you
Make me sick 'till I can't breathe
Never want to be your enemy
Silence me, so I can't be,
Never want to be your enemy
I walk the
High road away from you
God knows what I've been through
This is the life I have, this is the life I choose
I walked away, the high road away from you
Walk away, walk away, you made an enemy
Deep inside realize never want to be your enemy
Change me, rearrange me, make me your enemy (Yeah)
Deep inside realize never want to be your enemy (Walk away from)
Change me, rearrange me, make me your enemy (Enemy, yeah)
Deep inside realize never want to be your enemy (Walk away from)
Change me, rearrange me, make me your enemy, your enemy
I walk the
High road away from you
God knows what I've been through
This is the life I have, this is the life I choose
I walked away, the high road away from you
Walk away, walk away, you made an enemy
