Enemy
Woodlock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is where it begins,
at the start of an end.
I could no longer pretend,
no more, you walked out the door.

You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.
(One, two, three, four)

And every place has a map,
and every man has a storm.
How long is this gonna take,
take as long as you need, friend.
Take as long as you like.

You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.

You're my enemy.
You're my enemy. (He will do the same to you, don't let him conquer)
You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.

He will do the same to you, don't let him conquer
He will do the same to you, oh
He will do the same to you, don't let him conquer

You're my enemy.
You're my enemy.

Overall Meaning

Woodlock's song "Enemy" is a powerful reflection of the emotions one experiences when someone they once trusted becomes their enemy. The opening line "This is where it begins, at the start of an end" implies a sense of finality, as if the singer has come to a realization that a relationship they once held dear has come to an end. The line "I could no longer pretend" suggests that the singer had been suppressing their feelings for some time leading up to the eventual end of the relationship. The singer acknowledges that the person who they once trusted and cared for has now become their enemy, and this realization has caused them to come to terms with the end of the relationship.

The repetition of the line "You're my enemy" throughout the song serves to emphasize the finality of the situation and highlights the pain associated with losing someone you once cared for. The line "And every place has a map, and every man has a storm" suggests that everyone experiences their own emotional struggles, but there is always a path forward to navigate through the storm. The singer acknowledges that the healing process may take time and advises their former friend to take as long as they need to process their own emotions.

The song concludes with a warning to the listener, "He will do the same to you, don't let him conquer". This line suggests that the singer has learned from their experience and is warning others not to let someone who has become an enemy control them.
