Enemy
Balance and Composure Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The comforting sun.
I need it to warm me,
Taste it on my tongue.
There's a color or a shade, revealing
Lighting up your face, shine on me, shine on me.
You know they're calling it off again.
And I thought I heard you
Sitting up there in the clouds.
You know I'm fading out
And that's fine,
Just shine right on me.
There's a color or a shade, revealing
Lighting up your face, shine on me, shine on me.
There's a color or a shade, revealing
Lighting up your face, shine on me, shine on me.
Enemy, Enemy,
You're my only enemy,
And you're only steadying my pain.
Call on me, call on me,
Help me wash away the shame.
There's a blood red dirty stain, away.
You say "It's okay"
But you always let it rain,
Yeah you always let it rain anyway.
Only me, only me,
And you always let it rain,
Yeah you always let it rain anyway.
The opening lines of the song, "Heat on your face, The comforting sun. I need it to warm me, Taste it on my tongue." give off a feeling of warmth and comfort, creating a sense of familiarity and security. The use of heat as a metaphor for comfort is indicative of the need for human connection and warmth, highlighting the lack thereof. As the song progresses, the line "You're my only enemy, And you're only steadying my pain," creates a sense of confusion about who the enemy really is, suggesting that it could be the singer's own thoughts or emotions. The inability to escape from these thoughts and feelings makes them feel trapped and powerless.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice, "There's a color or a shade, revealing Lighting up your face, shine on me, shine on me." This repetition emphasizes the need for light and positivity in life. The singer is seeking something that can brighten up his or her day and offer guidance. The line "There's a blood red dirty stain, away" suggests that the singer is looking for a way to clean up their surroundings and move on from past mistakes.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of hope and longing for connection and positivity in an otherwise difficult and confusing world. It shows that even the smallest glimmer of light can make a difference in someone's life, and emphasizes the importance of that light in the face of darkness.
