Lyrics
Hey (hey), oh, Mister backstabbing son of a bitch
Expressing disdain towards someone perceived as disloyal or deceitful.
You're living in a world that will soon be dying
Commenting on the deteriorating state of the world, implying impending doom.
And I know, everybody knows you try to be like me
Accusing someone of imitating the speaker and trying to emulate their qualities.
But even at your best, as a man you couldn't equal half of me
Asserting superiority, suggesting that the person falls short even at their best.
I am realizing that everybody's lost their simple ways
Observing a general loss of simplicity or innocence in people.
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
Realizing a clear understanding of the situation or reality.
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh, the enemy
Confronting an adversary or a negative force, referred to as "the enemy."
You (you), you're another shit talking punk to me
Dismissing someone as insignificant and disrespectful.
You're living inspiration for what I never wanna be
Labeling the person as a source of inspiration for what the speaker wants to avoid becoming.
And I see (I see), you've been blinded by what you believe
Noticing the person's blindness to their beliefs or actions.
And now back up and sit down, shut up and act like you need to be
Instructing the person to be quiet and humble.
I am realizing that everybody's lost their simple ways
Reiterating the observation of a loss of simplicity or innocence in people.
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
Reaffirming a clear understanding of the situation or reality.
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh, the enemy
Re-emphasizing the confrontation with "the enemy."
Come to me, come to me, oh, the enemy, come to me, come to me
Inviting the adversary or negative force to approach.
So predicting, you're the reason why I lie
Attributing deception to the person and suggesting they are the cause of lies.
Simple decision, took me too much time to fly
Describing a delayed decision or realization that took too much time to act upon.
Oh, checkmate (checkmate)
Using "checkmate" metaphorically to indicate a decisive or winning move.
I am realizing that everybody's lost their simple ways
Reiterating the observation of a loss of simplicity or innocence in people.
And now that it's here, I see it all so clearly
Reaffirming a clear understanding of the situation or reality.
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh, the enemy
Re-emphasizing the confrontation with "the enemy."
Come to me
Repeating the invitation for "the enemy" to come closer.
