Enemy
Wage War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I keep slip, slip, slippin' away
I'm a slave but it's all a head game
Underneath the skin, I fight a war within
Looks like it's me versus me, my own worst enemy
There's no comin' back from where I've been
There's no need to pretend
Save me
Life's pushin' back harder than ever
Break free
Looks like it's me versus me
My own worst enemy, right?
What can I do? It's none for me and all for you
I've figure some things for myself
I'm to blame, me and no one else
Bringin' me down
Yeah
Doubting something doesn't mean it's wrong
Don't fear consequence
You can't fix what you don't start
Save me
Life's pushin' back harder than ever
Break free
Looks like it's me versus me
My own worst enemy
(All alone again) Save me
Underneath the skin
Life's pushin' back harder than ever
(All alone again) Break free
Looks like it's me versus me
My own worst enemy
What if I should stumble, what if I should fall?
What if there is nothing left underneath it all?
What if I should stumble, what if I should fall?
What if there is nothing left underneath it all?
Underneath it all
What if there is nothing left underneath it all?
The lyrics of Wage War's song "Enemy" explore the internal battle within oneself. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is alone with their thoughts, and their own mind is causing them to slip away. The phrase "I'm a slave but it's all a head game" suggests that the singer is trapped in their own mind, which is playing games with them. The lyrics "Looks like it's me versus me, my own worst enemy" highlight that the battle is within oneself, suggesting that they are fighting their own demons within their mind.
The chorus of the song echoes the internal battle within the singer, with the repeated "Save me" and "Break free" suggesting that they are searching for a way out of their own mind. The lyrics "What can I do? It's none for me and all for you" suggest that the singer feels helpless, unable to break free from their own thoughts, and trapped in a battle that only they can see. The line "Don't fear consequence, you can't fix what you don't start" could be a reference to the idea that the singer needs to confront their inner demons to find a way out.
The final lines of the song "What if I should stumble, what if I should fall? What if there is nothing left underneath it all? Underneath it all, what if there is nothing left underneath it all?" could suggest that the singer is questioning if there is anything left of themselves if they lose the battle within their mind. Overall, the song suggests the internal struggle and the need to face one's own demons to break free from the constraints of one's own mind.
