Nemesis
Attack! Attack! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The conversation killer has been found
Everyone's expecting you to make mistakes
But you refuse to break
I cannot move you're holding me down
Every breath I take gets harder now
You're the one controlling this
You have a choice but you can't choose
Don't say anything at all 'cause we both know
This life is taking you over
I stare back at my reflection
A nemesis that I must take to ground
My only fear is you
But you are me
So what am I to do?
There's no way to end this nightmare
My situation here is so profound
Your greatest challenge is in front of you
There's no excuse
Don't say anything at all
'Cause we both know this life is leading you astray
You won't even recognize me anymore
Don't try
Please stay
Because this conversation's only just begun
I hope you choke on every single word
That you have sung
Aim high so I can watch you
When you take your final fall
I'll be the one who's waiting
I'll be the one who's waiting
So don't say anything at all
'Cause we both know this life is leading you astray
You don't seem to recognize me anymore
Sometimes it's better that way
The lyrics of Attack! Attack!'s song Nemesis portray a situation where the singer is engaged in a battle with his inner demons. The first verse talks about how the singer is impressed by the way his nemesis hates the silence and controls the conversation. The nemesis holds him down, and every breath that he takes gets harder. The singer is unable to break free from the control of his nemesis. The chorus warns the nemesis not to say anything because they both know that this life is taking the singer over. The singer is staring back at his reflection as his nemesis, and he must take it down to the ground. He fears the nemesis, but it's a part of him, and so he doesn't know what to do. His situation is profound, but he has no excuse to give up. The second chorus tells the nemesis to stay because the conversation has just started, and he hopes that the nemesis chokes on every word sung. The singer will be waiting, and he doesn't care if the nemesis doesn't recognize him. Sometimes it's better that way.
The lyrics of Nemesis offer an insightful perspective of one's inner struggles. The singer is engaged in a fierce battle with himself and his nemesis. It's a relatable concept for most individuals who experience inner struggles and conflicts. The song is a great reminder that sometimes we are our worst enemies, but there's always hope for triumphing over our inner demons. We need to recognize them, face them, and conquer them. The song is also a great anthem for refusing to give up and persevering through challenging situations.
Line by Line Meaning
I love the way you hate the silence
I am attracted to how you avoid gaps in conversation
The conversation killer has been found
You're causing the awkward silence between us
Everyone's expecting you to make mistakes
Others anticipate failures from you
But you refuse to break
Despite external pressures, you remain resilient
I cannot move you're holding me down
Your actions are causing me to feel trapped
Every breath I take gets harder now
Your presence is suffocating me
You're the one controlling this
You hold the power in our relationship
You have a choice but you can't choose
You have the option to act differently, but you are unable to do so
Don't say anything at all 'cause we both know
Silence is preferable since we're aware of the situation
This life is taking you over
Life seems to have a hold on you
I stare back at my reflection
I'm looking at myself in the mirror
A nemesis that I must take to ground
I must defeat my worst enemy, which is myself
My only fear is you
My biggest concern is myself
But you are me
I am essentially fighting against myself
So what am I to do?
I don't know what action to take
There's no way to end this nightmare
There's no clear solution to my inner conflict
My situation here is so profound
My problem has deep roots
Your greatest challenge is in front of you
Your hardest obstacle is yet to come
There's no excuse
You can't make any justifications for your actions anymore
You won't even recognize me anymore
I'm changing in ways that are unrecognizable to you
Don't try
You don't need to make an attempt
Please stay
Stay, so we can talk more
Because this conversation's only just begun
We still have a lot more to talk about
I hope you choke on every single word
I desire for you to feel my anger through my words
That you have sung
Referring to the things that you have done and said
Aim high so I can watch you
I want you to shoot for the stars, but I will be observing your failure
When you take your final fall
You will eventually fail and lose everything
I'll be the one who's waiting
I will be there to witness your downfall
You don't seem to recognize me anymore
You don't understand who I am becoming
Sometimes it's better that way
Maybe it's best not to know
