My enemy
Hans Zimmer & The Magnificent Six Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Something's happening
Mind distracting, agony inside of me
My pulse is rising
Mental torture, self destroyer
Can't ignore the paranoia

Something's happening
Mind distracting, agony inside of me
My pulse is rising
Mental torture

Self destroyer
Can't ignore the paranoia

Something's happening
Mind distracting, agony inside of me
My pulse is rising
Mental torture, self destroyer
Can't ignore the paranoia

Something's happening
Mind distracting, agony inside of me
My pulse is rising
Mental torture, self destroyer
Can't ignore the paranoia

Something's happening
Mind distracting, agony inside of me
My pulse is rising
Mental torture, self destroyer
Can't ignore the paranoia

Denying
The rising
The crying
I'm dying

Denying
The rising
The crying
I'm dying

Denying
The rising
The crying
I'm dying

Denying
The rising
The crying
I'm dying

He lied to me
He shot at me
He hates on me

He lied to me
He shot at me
He hates on me
He's using me
Fragility
Electricity
Afraid of me
He's dead to me

He lied to me
He shot at me
He hates on me
He's using me
He's dead to me
He is my enemy

They lied to me
They shot at me
They hate on me
They're using me
Afraid of me
They're dead to me

They lied to me
They shot at me
They hate on me




They're dead to me
And now they're all my enemy

The person acknowledges that something is going on with them internally and is struggling to deal with it. The following lines, "Denying the rising, the crying, I'm dying," show how they try to deny what's happening to them, but it's slowly destroying them mentally and emotionally. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the helplessness the person feels.

The enemy is dead to the person now, and the person vows to never forget that, "He is my enemy."
