WORST feat. JBM produced by MURO
B.D. the BROBUS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's your own worst enemy
Ringing the bell on the door
And the person inside says nobody's home
So your own worst enemy peeks inside
And sees you softly weeping as some music fills the room

And the song they play
Is that guy with the messed up face

Going, precious and few are the moments that you
And your own worst enemy share

Full bottle in front of me
Time to roll up my sleeves
And get to work
And after many glasses of work
I get paid in the brain

And the song they play
Is that guy with the messed up face
Going, precious and few are the moments that you
And your own worst enemy share

And the song they play
Is that guy with the messed up face
Going, precious and few are the moments that you
And your own worst enemy share

It's your own worst enemy

Overall Meaning

In this song, B.D. the BROBUS and JBM are describing the inner struggle of dealing with one's own worst enemy - the voice in our head that tells us negative things about ourselves, making us doubt our abilities and feel down. The first verse describes a scenario where the enemy comes knocking on the door, only to find out that the person inside denies any existence. However, when the enemy peeks in, they see the person softly weeping while listening to music, which could be interpreted as a way of coping with the negative thoughts.

The second verse talks about the singer resorting to drinking to deal with his own enemy. He rolls up his sleeves and gets to work, and after several glasses, he gets paid in the brain (presumably feeling intoxicated or numb). In this verse, the song they play is the same as in the first verse - "that guy with the messed up face" - likely a reference to a musician or song that resonates with the singer's emotions.

Overall, the lyrics suggest that dealing with one's own worst enemy is a constant struggle that can sometimes lead to self-destructive behavior, but moments of connection and understanding can be found in the music that speaks to our pain.
