My Enemy
Embracing Adversity: My Journey Through Struggles
Lyrics
When you thought I was winning the game
Despite appearing victorious, someone intervened and extinguished my success.
You came and snuffed out the flame
You abruptly ended a positive situation or opportunity.
You thought you finished me off
You believed you had completely defeated me.
But you just made me strong
Your actions inadvertently strengthened me instead of weakening me.
Each time you dealt me a blow
Every time you struck me down.
Each time you brought me so low
Each time you brought me to a low point.
I found something inside to help me along
I discovered inner strength to keep moving forward.
My enemy, enemy
Expressing a reliance on the existence of an enemy for motivation or personal strength.
How I need my enemy
-Oh my enemy, enemy
-How I need my enemy
-Did I slight you in some little way
Did I offend you in a minor way?
Or does hate help you get through the day?
Does your animosity assist in coping with daily life?
One way or another, I'm happy your aim was so true
Regardless, I appreciate your accuracy in targeting me.
If the demons in you hadn't jarred
If the negative aspects of your personality hadn’t affected me.
I would never have struggled so hard
I wouldn’t have fought as hard as I did.
The only thing now eating me is, what's eating you?
The only concern now is what troubles you.
My enemy, enemy
Expressing a reliance on the existence of an enemy for motivation or personal strength.
How I need my enemy
-Oh my enemy, enemy
-How I need my enemy
-My enemy, enemy
-How I need my enemy
-Oh my enemy, enemy
-How I need my enemy
-Now we're just two old men on the brink
We’re now both aged individuals, possibly nearing the end of a conflict.
Each waiting for the other to blink
Both waiting for the other to show weakness or vulnerability.
If I should lose you, I'd be left with nothing but fate
If I were to lose you, I’d be left only with destiny.
As I see your life fall apart
Observing your life unravel.
I should smile but I don't have the heart
I should feel a sense of satisfaction, but I lack the heart to do so.
At the end of the day, it's still too much effort to hate
In the end, it requires too much energy to harbor hate or resentment.
My enemy, enemy
Expressing a reliance on the existence of an enemy for motivation or personal strength.
How I need my enemy
-Oh my enemy, enemy
-How I need my enemy
