Behind Enemy Lines
Demi Lovato攀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And I feel, I feel a deep connection
And I think, that we might be onto somethin', no
And I know it's somethin' special
Seein' you here is not coincidental, mhmm

Well I've been walkin', walkin' behind enemy lines
And I've been fightin', fightin' from the other side
I've been sayin', sayin' that I won't fall this time
But now I'm walkin', walkin' within enemy lines

Ooh, oh

See I was tryin' to be everything you weren't expecting
All I ever wanted was to try and keep you guessing
But I'm falling way too fast
I just want this love to last forever, forever
And every time I feel this way
Oh, somethings changed for the better
(Whoa whoa whoa ooh)

And I've been walkin', walkin' behind enemy lines
And I've been fightin', fightin' from the other side
I've been sayin', sayin' that I won't fall this time
But now I'm walkin', walkin' within enemy lines

And now I'm walkin', walkin' behind enemy lines
And now I'm fightin, fightin' from the other side





I've been sayin', sayin' I won't fall this time
Now I'm walkin', walkin' within enemy lines

Overall Meaning

The song "Behind Enemy Lines" by Demi Lovato is a powerful ballad that describes the experience of falling in love, despite being surrounded by obstacles and challenges. The lyrics express a deep connection and a sense of fate between the singer and their lover, suggesting that their meeting was not a coincidence. The verse, "I feel a deep connection / And I think, that we might be onto somethin', no / And I know it's somethin' special / Seein' you here is not coincidental" implies the authenticity of their connection and the importance of this relationship.


However, the chorus hints that the singer has been fighting against something, or someone, preventing them from pursuing love freely. The verse, "Well I've been walkin', walkin' behind enemy lines / And I've been fightin', fightin' from the other side / I've been sayin', sayin' that I won't fall this time / But now I'm walkin', walkin' within enemy lines," describes a sense of danger and secrecy that the singer feels while pursuing this love. They have been fighting to keep this love a secret and to protect it from harm.


The final lines of the song repeat the same sentiment, suggesting that the singer is still walking "within enemy lines." However, the tone of the chorus changes from one of defiance to one of acceptance and determination. The repetition of the lines, "And I've been walkin', walkin' behind enemy lines / And I've been fightin', fightin' from the other side / I've been sayin', sayin' that I won't fall this time / But now I'm walkin', walkin' within enemy lines," suggests that the singer has accepted the risks of the relationship and is prepared to fight for their love, even if it means walking within enemy lines.
