In the thunderous echoes of a rock anthem, Shinedown crafts a fierce confrontation with betrayal and conflict. "Enemies" plunges into the turmoil of relationships soured by deceit and manipulation, portraying the intense fallout when trust is shattered. The lyrics serve as a battle cry against those who exploit and take for granted, highlighting a universal struggle against antagonistic forces in one's life. With an unyielding stance, the song captures the essence of standing your ground and cutting ties with toxicity. It’s a declaration that sometimes, to preserve oneself, you must recognize adversaries and reclaim your power from those who seek to diminish it. Shinedown reminds us that in the face of exploitation and dishonesty, resilience becomes our greatest ally.
Enemies
Lyrics
Listen up!
There's not a moment to spare
It's quite a drop
From the top
So how are you feeling down there?
It's a cold, cruel, harsh reality
Caught, stuck, here with your enemies!
Who do you think you are?
Tearing us all apart
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's twenty to one
Yeah, so you better run!
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies! Enemies!
You started something that you just couldn't stop,
You turned the ones that you love into the angriest mob.
And their one last wish is that you pay for it
And there's no way you're getting out of this!
Who do you think you are?
Tearing us all apart
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's twenty to one
Yeah, so you better run!
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies! Enemies!! Enemies!!!
Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's twenty to one
Yeah, so you better run!
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies! Enemies!
You got the world on it's knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You love the hate that we share
You want more! (You want more!)
But you'll get nothing from me
But enemies! Enemies! Enemies!
