Enemy
U.Y.U.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why should I welcome
Your domination
Why should I listen
To explanations

I'm not pretending
To make it simple
Try to be something
Experimental

You don't turn me off
I will never fail
Things I loved before
Are not for sale

Keep yourself away
Far away from me
I forever stay
Your perfect enemy

No longer waiting
Remove illusions
No more complaining
Forget confusion

No more confession
Not sentimental
I am now something
Experimental

You don't turn me off
I will never fail
Things I loved before
Are not for sale

Keep yourself away
Far away from me




I forever stay
Your perfect enemy

In U.Y.U.S.'s song "Enemy," the singer is unapologetic and confident in their decision to distance themselves from someone who seeks to dominate and control them. The lyrics suggest that the singer has previously allowed this person to have power over them, but they are now rejecting their influence and choosing to be experimental, free-thinking, and self-assured.


The opening lines, "Why should I welcome your domination / Why should I listen to explanations," highlight the singer's refusal to comply with the demands of this person. They assert their independence by saying that they won't be "pretending to make it simple" for them or sacrificing their values for their benefit. The chorus, "Keep yourself away / Far away from me / I forever stay / Your perfect enemy," reinforces this idea. The singer is making it clear that they will not be changing their mind about their decision, and that the other person should stay away if they want to avoid conflict.


The second verse sees the singer further distancing themselves emotionally, stating that they no longer wait for this person, nor do they have any illusions about them. They emphasize that they are not sentimental and have embraced a new identity that is experimental and free from previous attachments. The repetition of the lines, "You don't turn me off / I will never fail / Things I loved before / Are not for sale," underscores that the singer is confident in their decision to reject this person's influence and remain true to themselves.
