scars on broadway (soad) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we are the enemy
I know it's really hard to see
That we are the enemy of the earth
They'll fuck you, then they'll fuck themselves
They raise the flag that Jesus sells
They'll fuck you, then they'll fuck themselves
I know it's really hard to see
That we are the enemy
I know it's really hard to see
That we are the enemy of the earth
We're on drugs, we're on drugs
We're all on drugs
We're on drugs, we're on drugs
Baby, we're all on drugs
Do you like drugs?
Alright!
I know it's really hard to see
That we are the enemy
I know it's really hard to see
That we are the enemy of the earth
We are the enemy of the earth...
We are the enemy of the earth...
In Scars on Broadway's song "Enemy," the lyrics explore the idea that humanity has become a destructive force towards the environment and ultimately, the planet we live on. The repetition of the line "I know it's really hard to see that we are the enemy" emphasizes the urgent message that we are responsible for causing harm and destruction to the earth. The reference to "Jesus selling flags" highlights the idea that some religious beliefs may contribute to exploiting the environment for profit and power.
The line "We're on drugs, we're on drugs" can be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, it may refer to society being addicted to consumerism and the need for constant consumption of material items. Alternatively, it may point to the idea that in trying to solve our problems, society turns to quick fixes and band-aid solutions, rather than addressing the root cause of the issues. The question "Do you like drugs?" is a rhetorical question aimed at the audience to provoke thought about these interpretations.
Overall, "Enemy" is a call to action for people to recognize the damage we have inflicted on the earth and to take responsibility for our actions. It is a warning that we are running out of time to make a meaningful change.
