«Enemy» de Imagine Dragons es una canción de rock alternativo que se centra en la lucha interna entre el bien y el mal. La letra explora la idea de que el enemigo más grande puede ser uno mismo, y la necesidad de aceptar la dualidad de la vida para poder avanzar. La canción también aborda temas como la soledad, el miedo y la incertidumbre. La música es intensa y energética, con una mezcla de guitarras eléctricas, sintetizadores y batería.
(Look out for yourself)
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I’m searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned
Tell you: You’re the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
But I’m ready
Your words up on the wall as you’rе praying for my fall
And the laughter in thе halls
And the names that I’ve been called
I stack it in my mind and I’m waiting for the time
When I show you what it’s like to be words spit in a mic
Tell you: You’re the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy-y-y-y-y (yeah)
(Look out for yourself)
Uh, look, okay
I’m hoping that somebody pray for me
I’m praying that somebody hope for me
I’m staying where nobody ‘posed to be
P-p-posted, being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever just let me know
The road is long so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy’s on my trail, my energy unavailable
I’ma tell ‘em: Hasta luego
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I’ve been outta shape, thinking out the box I’m an astronaut
I blasted off the planet rock to cause catastrophe
And it matters more because I had it not
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shockin’ they wanted a static with precision I’m automatic quaterback
I ain’t talking sacking, pack it, pack it up, I don’t panic
Batter, batter up, who the baddest?
It don’t matter ‘cause we at ya throat
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I’ll never be a saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear
I’ll never be a saint
(Look out for yourself)
