My Enemy
Veela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've learned how they hurt and love
Feels like a battle they've yet to win
So I'm sent to come
They throw their hands up and they say
"I just wanted my life like a midway"
All on their knees, howling in pain
"I just wanted my life like a midway"
Where did I come from?
You don't wanna know
I'm just another fool at the door
My enemy
What's your story?
Who do I start with?
No one even knows I'm here to help this world adore
My enemy
What's your story?
They throw their hands up and say
"I just wanted my life like a midway"
Where did I come from?
You don't wanna know
I'm just another fool at the door
My enemy
What's your story?
My enemy
My enemy
Since we are young
We are taught that humans are so hard to please
Never knew this honour and this game was meant for me
They throw their hands up and say
"I just wanted all this to be easy"
Down on their knees, howling in pain
"I just wanted my life to be easy"
Where did I come from?
You don't wanna know
I'm just another fool at the door
My enemy
What's your story?
Who do I start with?
No one even knows I'm here to help this world adore
My enemy
What's your story?
They throw their hands up and say
"I just wanted my life like a midway"
Where did I come from?
You don't wanna know
I'm just another fool at the door
My enemy
What's your story?
Who I am
Who we are
Who we are
Who we are
Here I am
Who we are
Who we are
Who we are

I'd love to say how proud I am of you coming back and stuff but I can't stop imagining that image as the entirety of you and you don't have any legs and you're just this short-armed really short being wandering around on the grass in the moonlight
@LordDragox412
There's one more thing that's worth mentioning - it's midnight :D
@leetheloopylobster
Now that you've mentioned it, I cant stop seeing it.
@TheAimanKhairi
I can't ever unsee that
@DemonaruMusic
That's what I saw, it kind of creeped me out. I just sat there staring questioning what I was looking at because I couldn't see her legs.
@multiwongi
Boyinaband funny sorry armed and no legged person
@emilyyates662
If Veela told me she was an enchantress from another world, I'd buy it.
