Enemy
Revolting Breed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At last, you can now close your eyes
A whole life passes feeling the pain
Drown in the tears of the dridge for the dream
The feast of serpents lost's sacrifice
Desperate screams that are begging for life
Mind so tired to desire the change
For what? For those that have killed all that's worth?
Why then all these to deserve all the struggle?
All that is left in the end is fear
The only truth that is left is the end
When you stop thinking
Call me to wake you up
I hear your voice full of justice and passion
Having the right opinion for everything
You look at your coloured box drowning your anger
Becoming again a child of silence
Looks like the haters became the hated
Looks like the dreamers have murdered their dream
Inside you now hopes, desires are fading
All that you built, you believed are collapsing
All that is left in the end is fear
The only truth that is left is the end
When you stop talking
Wait me in front of you
Look inside you now, someone's tired of flying
Became what you hated
Enemy of your past
Enemy
All that is left in the end is fear
The only truth that is left is the end
When you start hiding
Wait me to be the attack
The lyrics of "Enemy" by Revolting Breed speak to the fatigue and disillusionment that can come with fighting against a corrupt or unjust system. The song starts off by acknowledging the weariness that comes with constant battle, with the singer expressing relief at finally being able to close their eyes. The following lines suggest that the fight has cost them dearly, with a lifetime spent feeling pain and drowning in tears. The "feast of serpents lost's sacrifice" and "desperate screams that are begging for life" seem to reference the sacrifices made by those who have fought before, and the sense that their efforts have been in vain.
The second verse seems to address the sense that striving for change has become a futile task. The singer questions whether it's worth fighting for those who have killed everything that's worth fighting for, and expresses weariness at the thought of struggling for what seems like nothing. The third verse conveys a sense of hopelessness and acceptance of defeat, with the singer acknowledging that the only truth left is the end, and that when they stop thinking, they want someone to wake them up.
The fourth verse speaks to the idea of being disillusioned with those who were once allies, or who you once looked up to. The singer hears a voice "full of justice and passion" but sees that person drowning their anger in a "coloured box" (which could be a reference to a TV or computer screen). The dreamers have murdered their dreams, and hope and desire are fading away. The final verse brings the song full circle, with the singer looking inside themselves and realizing that they have become an enemy of their past self, and that all that's left is fear.
Overall, this song is a powerful commentary on the emotional toll of fighting for change, and the sense of disillusionment that can come when progress seems elusive. The lyrics touch on themes of sacrifice, disillusionment, and acceptance of defeat, and convey a sense of weariness and fatigue that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like giving up on something.

Revolting Breed are one of the best reasons why we Greeks should feel proud of our metal scene.
