Enemy
Chasing Avalanche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if I don't admit I'm wrong?
Would this be easier on you?
What if you don't care?
What if you don't apologize?
Would this be easier on you?
What have we become?
What other wars have we won?
History repeats itself
They are the enemy, the enemy
They'll watch us self-destruct
They are the enemy, the enemy
Taking lives one by one
What if we're broken?
What if we cannot fix a thing?
Would this be easier on you?
What if we're too late
Crossing these lines one by one?
Would this be easier on you?
What have we become?
We're digging in again and
What other wars have we won?
History repeats itself
They are the enemy, the enemy
They'll watch us self-destruct
They are the enemy, the enemy
Taking lives one by one
You thing it's over, cross your heart
Blindfold you as I tip your mouth from the start
You pray for sickness, I count your scars
Forget where you are, forget where you are
What have we become?
We're digging in again and
What other wars have we won?
History repeats itself
They are the enemy, the enemy
They'll watch us self-destruct
They are the enemy, the enemy
Taking lives one by one
The song "Enemy" by Chasing Avalanche opens with the singer asking a series of rhetorical questions aimed at a hypothetical adversary. The lines "What if I don't care...What if you don't apologize?" reveal the singer's reluctance to accept blame or show contrition, and the repeated question "Would this be easier on you?" suggests an ongoing power struggle with the other person. The chorus then declares that "They are the enemy," implying that the conflict has escalated into a full-blown battle. The second verse poses a similar series of questions, this time contemplating the possibility of irreparable damage and hinting at a sense of regret on the part of the singer.
The bridge of the song takes a dark turn, as the lines "You think it's over, cross your heart/Blindfold you as I tip your mouth from the start/You pray for sickness, I count your scars/Forget where you are, forget where you are" suggest a violent or abusive relationship, with the singer exerting control over the other person. The final chorus then repeats the idea that "They are the enemy," emphasizing how the conflict has consumed both parties and led to a tragic outcome.

I was a giant fan of Sunset Black and saw you guys many many times being from MN. I was sad to hear the band was done several years ago. Now I'm stoked to find out Brandon and Mike are still making music.
