The Enemy
OH FYO! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ive been struggling to fit in
For as long as I remember
And every time I tried
I felt like a pretender
Out of place in my own skin
Even when i've been accepted
Being buried in my thoughts
I fail to get connected

My head is like a chamber
That's dangerous to enter
My mind is my tormentor
I can't shake it off

I fear that I can't break free
From my unrelenting nemesis
Cant fight this demon deep inside of me
So I am falling victim to myself

I know I'm not like the others
But sometimes I wish I was
They're all friends and lovers
While I'm just cold and numb
I think I'm craving closeness
But I can't break this resistance
And nobody ever noticed
My eyes lost in the distance

My thoughts are like a virus
Destructive and desirous
Devouring me alive
And I can't shake them off

I fear that I can't break free
From my unrelenting nemesis
Cant fight this demon deep inside of me
So I am falling victim to myself
I'm hosting the enemy
The enemy
Sitting in my head
Sitting in my head
No remedy
No remedy
No I cant break free
Hosting the enemy
The enemy
Sitting in my head
Sitting in my head
No remedy
No remedy
'Cause I'm hosting my enemy

I know something is wrong with me
But I was born this way
It's taken control of me
And I can't help myself
Why am I lonely in company
In every single place
How can I fight an enemy
Who never shows their face

I fear that I can't break free
From my unrelenting nemesis
Cant fight this demon deep inside of me
So I am falling victim to myself
I'm hosting the enemy
The enemy
Sitting in my head
Sitting in my head
No remedy
No remedy
No I cant break free
Hosting the enemy
The enemy
Sitting in my head
Sitting in my head
No remedy




No remedy
'Cause I'm hosting my enemy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OH FYO!'s song "The Enemy" delve into the singer's struggle to fit in and feeling like an outsider in their own skin. They have always found it challenging to assimilate and be accepted by others, which has made them feel like they are pretending to be someone they are not. Despite being welcomed by others, they still feel disconnected and trapped in their own thoughts.


The singer describes their mind as a dangerous chamber and their own tormentor, implying that their thoughts and inner struggles are overwhelming and difficult to handle. They express a fear of being unable to break free from the relentless nemesis within them, a demon that haunts their thoughts and prevents them from finding peace within themselves. This internal battle causes them to become a victim of their own self-destructive tendencies.


The lyrics also touch upon the singer's longing to be like others around them, who seem to effortlessly form friendships and connections. They feel cold, numb, and distant, yearning for closeness but unable to overcome their resistance. Their feelings of isolation go unnoticed by others, as their eyes remain lost in the distance, further exacerbating their sense of loneliness.


The singer compares their thoughts to a virus that consumes them, destructive and consuming, and they struggle to shake them off. They question why they were born this way, feeling like something is inherently wrong with them. The enemy they refer to is their internal struggles, the unseen force that controls and influences their every action. They realize that they are the host of this enemy, with no apparent remedy to break free from its grip.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of inner turmoil, loneliness, and longing for acceptance. The singer wrestles with their own thoughts and the feeling of being alienated from others, trapped in a constant battle with their inner demons. They question their own existence and the nature of their struggles, desperate to find a way to overcome and find solace within themselves.

Richtig gut geworden!
Freue mich jetzt schon wieder auf das nächste Lied😁

Skye1425

Ich kenn euch jetzt seit knapp einem Jahr, hab euch als Support von Lord of the Lost in Frankfurt kennengelernt, und mir ging damals die Melodie von "Walls of Utopia" nicht mehr aus dem Kopf, ist bis heute auch mein liebster Track von euch. Das Lied könnte dem aber wirklich Konkurrenz machen! Lief die letzten Tage in jeder freien Minute rauf und runter, bin den Leuten schon echt auf die Nerven damit gegangen, vor allem meinem Mitbewohnern, weil es immer sehr sehr laut über meine Box lief (und vermutlich auch meinen Nachbarn, da die Häuser in Südafrika nicht wirklich gut abgedichtet sind :D). Ich bin gespannt auf weiteres, aber bis dahin hat der Song wohl erst mal gute Chancen mein neuer Liebling zu werden :D
