1. Enemies formed in … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1. Enemies formed in 2007 in the small east coast village of Kilcoole, Ireland. With their roots buried deep in DIY culture, the band have spent their seven years together writing, recording, producing and releasing their own records and booking tours with the international support of The Richter Collective, Topshelf Records (and Stiff Slack Records. In those seven years the band have toured America, Europe and Asia, released two highly acclaimed full length albums and three EP's.
In 2013 Enemies released their sophomore album entitled Embark, Embrace. The title being a pillar of the bands mind frame at the time, the idea to do as much as possible within their capabilities and beyond. This record sees a considerable shift in their musical style, incorporating pop and electronic influences, along with scattered vocals, under the broader themes of escape and re invigoration. The record was recorded in the first two months of the year in The Meadow Studios and features guest performances from Conor Adams of The Cast of Cheers, Heathers and more. By March the band had tours booked for America, Japan, Hong Kong, China, Philippines and Europe, with sold out shows in Tokyo, New York, Osaka and Nagoya.
With the amicable departure of drummer Oisin Trench from Enemies in November of 2013, remaining members Lewis Jackson, Mark O’ Brien & Eoin Whitfield set out to find a new drummer and get back to work on new material. Now with 2014 well under way, the band have spent the last 5 months building their live show with new drummer Michael Quinn, working on future releases and booking tours for later this year.

2. Enemies is a hardcore band formed in Tampere, Finland in late 2011 as something fun to do with friends, that quickly turned into a lifeline. Drawing influence from basically every subgenre in aggressive music, the band is constantly evolving, never settling for any one style.
Originally intended as a demo, Enemies' first album, Framing Choices to Silence Our Voices was written and recorded within six months since the band's inception and released digitally in July 2012 and on CD the following year. A fit of unbridled aggression, the album blends together elements of grind, Converge-y chaotic hardcore and sludge, with an ever-present melancholic edge.
In fall 2014, Enemies will release their second LP, Bind Me a Wreath, on vinyl and cassette. Significantly elaborating on the melodic undertones of their previous record, the new album is a cathartic nose dive into themes of self loathing, love and loss that's equal parts catchy, atmospheric and punishingly heavy.

Intro
Enemies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have always thought
All Hip-Hop or Rap was the world's greatest thing
But Public Enemy
Made me realized
That all Rap is not the same
They made the world listen
They articulated the frustrations and anger
They changed the perception of what Hip-Hop could be
Chuck D said, that Rap was the CNN of the Black Community
And no one broadcasted louder, than Public Enemy
The above lyrics from the song "Intro" by Enemies pay tribute to the legendary Hip-Hop group Public Enemy. The singer admits that they were not always a fan of Hip-Hop or Rap but Public Enemy changed their perception of the genre. Public Enemy was known for their politically charged lyrics and their ability to articulate the frustrations and anger of the Black community. They were able to make the world stop and listen to their message. Chuck D once famously compared Rap to the CNN of the Black community, and Public Enemy was the loudest voice in that broadcast.

I like how all lyrics represent a character.
Jayce: "I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows"
Viktor: "For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground"
Caitlyn: "I'm searching to behold the stories that are told"
Heimerdinger: "When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned"
Mel and Vander: "Tell you you're the greatest"
Silco: "But once you turn they hate us"
Ekko: "Oh, the misery. Everybody wants to be my enemy"
Vi and Jinx: "Pray it away, I swear. I'll never be a saint, no way"
ThePrequel’sWereGood
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around with my ear up to the ground
I'm searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned
Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us
(Ah) Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
(Ah) Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I'll never be a saint
(Look out for yourself)

I love how this intro is full of foreshadowing without giving away too much. I especially love the foreshadowing at 0:44
[SPOILER AHEAD]
The “spare the sympathy” depicts Victor when he augmented himself for the first time. Despite dying because of a terminal illness, he decided to take control of his own life. Which is why he shouldn’t be pitied on at this part of the story.
The scene then switched to Jayce for the “my enemy” line which foreshadows their future relationship in the game.
The spare the sympathy line also pertains to Cait. This could be a foreshadowing to the final episode where because she sympathized with Vi’s pain on what happened to her sister, she hesitated, which enabled Jinx to overpower her. This of course allowed Jinx to do what she did in the finale. Basically, in regards to Jinx, Cait should have “spared the sympathy”.

this version is so much better than the one on spotify wtf
mokiii
honestly! i hope they’ll make an extended version of this one, or at least post this one on spotify/youtube music/etc.
Eliel Torres
wtf, what is the difference?
mokiii
@Eliel Torres the original song is more punchy? i guess is a way to explain it- this one is more of an emotional version in a way.

@Eliel Torres this one is more orchestral
bulis113
@Eliel Torres as that guy said its more orchestral so essentially orchestral=more epic
