New Enemy
The Stryder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

woke up slow
the sky was a different shade of blue
did I sleep too long?
this early morning can't be true
where do I go?
this is all unfamiliar and I don't know how
but it goes to show
we didn't know what we had until now

but if we try
to come together all as one
to reunite
this harmony, love conquers all
was it worth the fight?
look at you now you got answers?
cus we want answers
with a battle cry
we send this out to you
your day will come
this I'm sure
new enemy
you think we'll soon forget no not at all
your day will come
this I'm sure
new enemy
cus what we had is now all gone this means war

before today
I've seen better days
in back of me
but in front of me I see doom
and winter just won't get in back of me
it's so foolish to think of all the times
I was feeling down
cus this is my time to live
I won't be spending it thinking about dying
you're so foolish
you're so foolish
I can't believe what's on TV
they found the seams and pulled the strings





(chorus)

Overall Meaning

The song "New Enemy" by The Stryder depicts a person who wakes up feeling disoriented and confused, as if they have been asleep for too long. This feeling is matched by a realization that everything has changed - the sky is a different shade of blue and the world around them is unfamiliar. The lyrics suggest that this change is the result of a conflict or battle, and that the person is only now understanding the true value of what they once had. However, the song also suggests that there is hope for healing and unity, if people are willing to come together and work towards a common goal.


The chorus of the song serves as a call to action, encouraging listeners to stand up for what they believe in and fight against those who seek to tear them apart. The lyrics use strong language and imagery to convey a sense of urgency and passion, with lines like "this means war" and "your day will come". Overall, the song can be interpreted as a plea for unity and a warning against complacency, reminding listeners that they must stay vigilant and fight to preserve the things they hold dear.
