Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh, oh oh
So back, I'm so bad, I'm so bad

Can I be honest with you please?
It's really hard for me to speak right now
Girl, I been drinkin' all day
It's been a long week
Can't you tell by my face?
I wanna lose myself between your legs
I wanna make your body shake
Girl, if you drink this fifth, no chase
I promise you'll have nothing to say, nothing to say

'Cause the least I deserve is no conversation
I been working all week
I'd rather be your enemy
Than any friend you think I would be

I'm just tryin' take you home without a word
Now I'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word
Girl I'm just trying to lay you down without a word
Girl I'm just trying to get you high without a word
Girl I'm just trying to make you numb without a word
Girl I'm just trying to make you cum without a word
Girl I'm just trying to make you sleep without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to let you leave without a word

Please, please, please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me, get what I want this time

Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

I forgot what it feels to regret my sins
I need that old thing back baby
You can help me out baby
You remind me of a feeling that I used to have
So I don't know what to expect from you tonight
But I'm not trying to waste nobody's time
I'm just trying to find material, some inspiration
We can put it in a song, if you want

'Cause the least I deserve is no conversation
I been working all week
I'd rather be your enemy
Than any friend you think I would be, oh yeah

I'm just tryin' take you home without a word
And I'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word
And I'm just trying to lay you down without a word
And I'm just trying to get you high without a word
And I'm just trying to make you numb without a word
And I'm just trying to make you cum without a word
And I'm just trying to make you sleep without a word
Girl, I'm just trying to let you leave without a word
Without a word

Ooh, let me, let me, let me

I'll never fall for a girl like you
I'll never understand what you're going through
But your body wild, and your head game too
You lookin' at my nigga, you can have him too
'Cause baby, I ain't cuffing girl, I hope you knew
There ain't nothin' wrong, you can pick and choose
Just don't call tomorrow askin' "what did I do?"
You know what you did, all to blame is you

Now the least I deserve is no conversation
I been working all week
I'd rather be your enemy
Than any friend you think I would be

I'm just tryin' take you home without a word
Girl I'm just trying to kiss your neck without a word
Girl I'm just trying to lay you down without a word
Girl I'm just trying to get you high without a word
Girl I'm just trying to make you numb without a word
Girl I'm just trying to make you cum without a word
Girl I'm just trying to make you sleep without a word




Girl, I'm just trying to let you leave without a word
Without a word

Overall Meaning

The Weeknd's song "Enemy" is a melancholic track that tells a story of a man who is struggling with his emotions and desires. The song starts with the artist admitting that he has been drinking all day and that he is finding it hard to speak. He then confesses that he wants to lose himself between his lover's legs and make her body tremble. He tries to persuade her to drink a bottle of liquor without any mixer, promising that it will silence her completely.


The chorus reveals the artist's true intentions. He would rather be his partner's enemy than her friend because he cannot handle any conversation or form a connection. He just wants to take her home, kiss her neck, make her numb, make her cum, and make her sleep. The artist argues that he deserves no conversation whatsoever because he has been working all week, probably referring to his busy schedule and career.


In the second verse, The Weeknd admits that he wants to rekindle his past and try to find some material and inspiration from his current partner for his art. He further emphasizes his desire not to waste anybody's time or form any attachment that may cause regret. In the bridge, the artist states that he will never fall for his partner, never understand what she is going through, and that she can have his friend if she wants to. He concludes that his partner should expect no call from him tomorrow, after their one-night stand, asking what she did, as all the blame lies with her.


Overall, the song speaks to the emptiness and loneliness of casual relationships, where no emotional attachment exists. The artist seems to be searching for inspiration to fuel his creativity while using his partner as a muse without any form of accountability. He also wants to avoid any complications, hence the desire for a partner without any conversation or bonds.
