I Am the Enemy
Embracing Darkness: Blood for Blood's Ode to Despair
Lyrics
(It never ends)
Expressing a sense of perpetual struggle or suffering.
I lose again and again
Repeated failures and defeats in life.
My life is a hole filled with dark misery
Life is depicted as a miserable void or emptiness.
The pain never ends, it just builds up inside
Continuous internal pain that accumulates.
Like a ticking time bomb I'll explode in due time
Feeling like a time bomb with imminent explosive emotions.
I couldn't give a fuck about you
Complete disregard for others.
Your beliefs and what you hold true means shit!
Rejecting the significance of others' beliefs and values.
When your life is nothing, living is the same as dying
Equating a meaningless life to both living and dying.
Simply put my life is hell
Life is characterized as a living hell.
No matter what you try, no matter what you do
Highlighting the futility of efforts and actions.
You'll always end up alone, when your life is through
Emphasizing the inevitability of loneliness in death.
Should be no surprise when you're an outcast in life
Expecting to be an outcast in life.
My human compassion is gone, my human qualities are long gone
Lack of compassion and human qualities.
And the hate and the rage and the pain
Intense emotions of hate, rage, and pain.
And the strain of live have left me completely insane
Life's struggles leading to insanity.
I was born into nothing to this world full of shit
Being born into a difficult world without value.
And nothing's changing anytime soon
Pessimism about the possibility of positive change.
So I would rather die than listen to you try to compare me to you
Prefer death over being compared to others.
Desperate, I never had a future, I never had a way out
Feeling trapped without a future or way out.
Hunted, they hold me down, they locked me out
Being persecuted and isolated by others.
Hopeless, I am the enemy of all you hold dear
Self-identifying as an enemy to what others value.
Enemy, I am the end, the evil in this world of fear
Embracing the role of a destructive force in a fearful world.
I was promised that things'll look up
Disappointment in promises of improvement.
They lied!
Feeling deceived and losing touch with positive emotions.
I've lost all sense of love and pride
Complete loss of love and pride.
I'll die, a lonely angry bitter mess
Anticipating a bitter and lonely death.
Revenge is the only thing and nothing less
Revenge as the sole motivation.
Revenge!
Declaration of the desire for revenge.
I want to laugh in your face before your last breath
Expressing a desire to mock others in their final moments.
My revenge will befall on all before my own death
Wishing for revenge before one's own death.
I was born into nothing to this world full of shit
Reiteration of being born into a challenging existence.
And nothing's changing anytime soon
Pessimism about the likelihood of positive change.
So I'll spit my last breath in your face and shriek to the sky
Defiantly rejecting others with a final declaration.
Fuck you!
Strongly expressing contempt and rejection.
Life slips through my fingertips
Symbolizing the passing of time and opportunities.
I rot away body and soul
Physical and spiritual decay.
(I shut my eyes) I close my mind until the day I die
Intentional mental closure to cope with life.
I don't try to pretend
Acknowledging one's true identity without pretense.
I'm not a disgrace, I know what I am
Acceptance of being a disgrace.
(I shut my eyes) I close my mind until the end of time
Continued mental closure until the end.
Inside it burns, it twists and turns
Internal torment and the failure to learn from love.
I tried to love but I'll never learn
Expressing the struggle to love and learn.
(I shut my eyes) I close my mind, until the day I die
Persevering with mental closure until death.
I have no soul left
Complete loss of soul.
I'm the walking dead
Feeling spiritually dead and decaying.
I rot away
Continued physical decay.
(I close these eyes) I close my mind, until the end of time
Final commitment to mental closure until eternity.
