Cruel
Enon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tangle off my clothes
I've been thinkin' 'bout you, baby
Until the rooster crows
I'll think of you
You make me don't know what to do
I really wanna believe you
And all the things you never did
And all the things you never do
Well, believing you is one thing
I believe that you do
I believe in all the curtains
That keep the world from view
This much is true
You make me don't know what to do
I'm such a sucker for a fool
The way you lie to me is cruel

The singer seems to be struggling with the conflicting emotions of wanting to trust their lover's words and actions, but also not being able to ignore the lies and hurt they have caused. The use of lyrical repetition throughout the song emphasizes the singer's internal struggle and desire for honesty.
The chorus of the song, "You make me don't know what to do", captures the singer's confusion and inability to move on from their lover. The repetition of this line underscores the addictive nature of the relationship, even though the singer knows they are being lied to. The line, "The way you lie to me is cruel", serves as the refrain of the song and encapsulates the singer's pain and frustration.

I wake up after midnight
I can't stop thinking of you even in my sleep, as I wake up in the middle of the night
I tangle off my clothes
Your memory has me all worked up and I feel like I'm fighting against myself
I've been thinkin' 'bout you, baby
You're constantly on my mind, and I can't shake the thoughts of you
Until the rooster crows
Even until the early hours of the morning, I'm unable to think of anything other than you
You always tell me that you're true
You repeatedly insist that you're honest and can be trusted
I really wanna believe you
I want to trust you and believe what you say, but your actions speak louder than your words
And all the things you never did
I feel like you're missing from my life and all the things we've never done seem incomplete without you
And all the things you never do
I expect more from you and you're not meeting my expectations or needs in this relationship
Well, believing you is one thing
I may want to trust you but actions speak louder than words and I'm not sure I can believe you
I believe that you do
I have faith in your feelings for me, but your dishonesty leaves me with doubts
I believe in all the curtains
I trust that you are hiding something from me, and I don't know how to uncover it
That keep the world from view
You seem to be hiding something from me that I can't see nor understand
This much is true
I'm certain of one thing, that you're confusing and confounding me
You make me don't know what to do
You cause me to doubt myself and my emotions, and leave me feeling helpless
I'm such a sucker for a fool
I know that you are manipulating me, yet I continue to fall for it every time
The way you lie to me is cruel
Your dishonesty is not just hurtful, but also malicious, and it leaves me feeling betrayed

on Knock That Door
Yup... just another good song by Enon. But wait! This song is an all-time great. I searched Enon on Spotify, and I knew all the top 5 most popular songs but this one. I knew and liked all the other top 5 Enon songs, so I just listened to this and didn't begin to regret it.

on Spanish Boots
Opportunity nooses than hang beyond the shade(?)
Machiavellian stooges that feign whatever's said
South Floridian ruses with nothing left to sell
Polynesian(?) amusements that fall under the spell
Having the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same kind of aim
At the game dealt
And mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
Vanished loot are the riches
That lay upon the breast
Spanish Boots for the witches
That kiss before the test
Gotta loom on the fixes
Bare waste and so severe
Minor shoots at the pieces
Lies burnt to stay, oh it's all so in vain
That it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
Oh it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same conversation,
The same hell
Then mainly for yourself
Oh it's the same pile of names at the game,
Hell, then mainly for yourself
For the better of your health
