Lyrics

There is a world hidden deep inside of me

Refers to an internal world within the singer, not visible externally.

A perfect balance between Hell and Heavenly

Describes a perfect equilibrium between opposing forces, akin to good and evil.

I'll spare the words to tell you what that meant to me

Choosing not to fully express the significance of this internal balance.

Living a curse I am my own number one enemy, oh

Expresses a feeling of being trapped or burdened by oneself, acting as their own worst adversary.

Number one enemy, oh

Reiterates the self-identification as the primary opponent.

Number one enemy

Repetition to emphasize the theme of being one's own enemy.


I told myself that it's a battle I will never win

Admits the futility of winning against internal struggles.

There is a war between the good and bad I fight within

Highlights an ongoing conflict between conflicting aspects of oneself.

Two sides of me that I could never be

Refers to unreachable aspects of self due to their contradicting nature.

For I am my own worst enemy

Affirms the self as the most detrimental adversary.


So sick of survival

Expresses weariness of merely surviving.

Against my only rival

Recognizes oneself as the sole competitor.


There is a world hidden deep inside of me

Similar to line 1, emphasizing an internal, hidden world.

A perfect balance between Hell and Heavenly

Repeats the idea of a balanced internal realm.

I'll spare the words to tell you what that meant to me

Declines to fully articulate the significance of this internal equilibrium.

Living a curse I am my own number one enemy, oh

Reiterates the feeling of being burdened by oneself, acting as the main adversary.

Number one enemy, oh

Repeats the self-identification as the primary opponent.

Number one enemy

Emphasizes once again the theme of being one's own enemy.


You think you know but you don't really wanna know at all

Addressing a misconception about understanding one's internal struggles.

You wanna feel what it's like to have and lose it all?

Asks if one desires to experience both gaining and losing everything.

You wouldn't deal with the way I rise and then I fall

Suggests that others wouldn't handle the singer's constant fluctuations well.

Two sides of me that I could never be

Reiterates the unreachable nature of conflicting aspects of self.

For I am my own worst enemy

Affirms the self as the most detrimental adversary, echoing line 11.
