Enemy
Nerv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tune you out
But you keep on coming around
It's hopeless now
It's all been leading to this
And you can find your own way out

And it's all the same
You'll never change
What was I thinking?
You're so deranged

You're nothing else but an enemy
You think I'm blind?
Oh no, I can see
What you've done to
Ruin me

You're nothing else but an enemy

We fought this down to the point
Where I've checked out
It's hopeless now
Our pulse has stopped beating
Hope you can breathe on your own now

I used to keep you close
Sadly now you're closer
You kept me on my toes
I'm done and I'm tired

You're nothing else but an enemy
You think I'm blind?
Oh no, I can see
What you've done to
Ruin me

You're nothing else but an enemy

We can't escape dead ends
We saw when this began
If I could go back
I'd never let you in

We can't escape dead ends
We saw when this began
If I could go back
I'd never let you in

It's all the same, you'll never change

You're nothing else but an enemy
You think I'm blind?
Oh no, I can see
What you've done to
Ruin me





You're nothing else but an enemy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nerv's song "Enemy" depict the feeling of being stuck in a toxic relationship with someone you once trusted. The singer has reached a breaking point and is ready to end the relationship, but the other person keeps coming around, refusing to let go. The singer has reached a state of hopelessness, and knows that the relationship is beyond repair. The enemy in the song is the person that the singer once thought was a friend or ally, but has now shown their true colors as someone who has caused great harm and ruin.


The chorus repeats the sentiment that this person is nothing else but an enemy, and the singer is not blind to their true nature. They are aware of the damage that has been done and the fact that the other person will never change. The bridge of the song speaks to the futility of the relationship and the feeling of being trapped in a dead-end situation. If the singer had the chance to go back and never let this person in, they would take it.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of pain and betrayal, as well as a desire to move on from a toxic situation. It speaks to the importance of recognizing toxic relationships and making the difficult decision to let them go.
