My Enemies Have Sweet Voices
Harmony in Adversity: My Enemies' Sweet Voices
Lyrics
Was in a bar called Paradise
Describes the setting of a bar named Paradise.
When the fiddler from the band
Introduces a fiddler from the band in the bar.
Asked me "Why do you stand there crying?"
The fiddler questions the speaker's apparent sadness.
I answered him: "Musician, this may come as a surprise
The speaker responds, stating the reason for their emotion.
I was trying to split the difference
The speaker tried to find a compromise.
And it split before my eyes
An unexpected separation occurs before the speaker.
And my enemies have sweet voices
The speaker acknowledges having adversaries with appealing voices.
Their tones are soft and kind
The enemies' voices are described as gentle and kind.
When I hear my heart rejoices
The speaker finds joy in hearing the enemies' voices.
I do not seem to mind"
The speaker is indifferent to the enemies due to the pleasant tones.
I was playing Brag in Bedlam
The speaker engages in a game of Brag in Bedlam.
And the doctor would not deal
A doctor refuses to help the speaker.
Asking me: "Why do you kneel down there bleeding?"
The doctor questions the speaker's kneeling and bleeding.
I answered him "Physician,
The speaker responds with sarcasm to the physician.
I think you would have cried
The speaker suggests the doctor might cry in a similar situation.
I was falling back on failure
The speaker encounters failure but it doesn't hinder progress.
The failure stepped aside
Failure retreats, allowing the speaker to move forward.
And my enemies have sweet voices
Reiterates the presence of enemies with appealing voices.
Their tones are soft and kind
Describes the enemies' voices as soft and kind again.
When I hear my heart rejoices
The speaker finds joy in the enemies' voices once more.
I do not seem to mind"
The speaker remains indifferent to the enemies due to pleasant tones.
I was blind side to the gutter
The speaker is caught off guard and ends up in a difficult situation.
And Merlin happened by
Merlin, a legendary figure, comes across the speaker.
Asking me "why do you lie down there bleeding?"
Merlin questions the speaker's lying down and bleeding.
I answered him "Magician, as a matter of a fact
The speaker responds with a witty remark to Merlin.
I was jumping to conclusions
The speaker realizes their hasty assumptions and acknowledges them.
And one of them jumped back
One of the assumptions rebounds unexpectedly.
And my enemies have sweet voices
Enemies with sweet voices persist in the speaker's experiences.
Their tones are soft and kind
The description of enemies' voices is reiterated.
When I hear my heart rejoices
The speaker continues to find joy in the enemies' voices.
I do not seem to mind"
Indifference towards enemies persists due to their pleasant tones.
