Enemy
Jenn Blosil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've become someone else
You are no stranger here
All the words that you said
Spinnin' round and round in my head
Calling me, reminding me
Haunting me
I need to know what it's like
I need to know what it's like
To feel your touch
When you said I'm not alone
You wait for me to come home
But I've become the enemy
Your ghost keeps calling back again
But I've turned my back on everything
And I don't recognize
Who's behind your eyes
Do you remember when we met
Every moment since
When you saw me standing there
With my shaking hands
And I don't want to be
The only one who falls
All the words that you said
Spinnin' round and round in my head
Calling me, reminding me
Haunting me
I need to know what it's like
To be loved
I need to know what it's like
To feel your touch
When you said I'm not alone
You wait for me to come home
But I've become
All the words that you said
Spinnin' round and round in my head
Calling me, reminding me
Haunting me
I need to know what it's like
To be loved
I need to know what it's like
To feel your touch
When you said I'm not alone
You wait for me to come home
I need to know what it's like
To be loved
I need to know what it's like
To feel your touch
When you said I'm not alone
Come and take me home
I don't want to be the enemy
The lyrics of Jenn Blosil's "Enemy" touch on the internal conflict of an individual struggling with themselves and their relationships. The first line, "I am fighting with myself," sets the tone of the song, indicating that the battle being fought is personal. The second line, "You've become someone else," shows that there is a change in the person that is causing the strife. The third line, "You are no stranger here," depicts that this change has taken place within a close relationship, and the person they once knew is now different.
The majority of the song repeats the phrases, "I need to know what it's like to be loved, I need to know what it's like to feel your touch," which conveys the strong desire to feel loved and connected. However, they realize that they have become the "enemy," which suggests that they are causing harm to those they care about. The line "All the words that you said, spinning round and round in my head, calling me reminding me, haunting me" illustrates that memories and past conversations can have a lasting impact, both positive and negative.
The chorus's final lines, "When you said I'm not alone, you wait for me to come home, come and take me home, I don't want to be the enemy", speaks to the desire for redemption and a desire to reconnect. The song reveals the internal struggle of a character to overcome their personal demons to reclaim a once nurturing relationship.
