The Enemy Within
Conquer the Inner Foe: Embrace Liberation
Lyrics
That voice you hear inside your head
Reference to the inner thoughts or conscience.
I wish I wasn't, I wish instead
Expressing a desire for a different reality.
If only I could, I know I can't
Acknowledging limitations and impossibilities.
Not good enough, I wish I was dead
Feeling inadequate or unworthy.
Creeping doubts, relentless fears
Persistent uncertainties and anxieties.
Have held you back, and will for years
Obstacles preventing progress over an extended period.
No one hates you as much as yourself
Intense self-criticism and self-loathing.
Beat that and you can beat anything else
Overcoming self-hate as a key to overcoming other challenges.
Who's gonna fight the enemy within
Posing a question about addressing internal struggles.
If not you, then no one will
Emphasizing personal responsibility in facing internal conflicts.
You've got to fight if you want to be free
Linking the fight within oneself to achieving freedom.
You've got to face your real enemy
Identifying the true adversary as internal struggles.
Who's gonna fight the enemy within
Reiterating the question of confronting inner demons.
If not you, then no one will
Reasserting individual responsibility for internal battles.
You've got to fight if you want to be free
Connecting the fight within to the pursuit of freedom.
You've got to face your real enemy
Stressing the need to confront the genuine internal foe.
Depression, doubt, and all your fear
Listing various internal struggles and their self-perpetuating nature.
Feeds itself, grows more severe
Describing the escalation of internal challenges.
That crushing weight around your heart
Depicting the overwhelming burden affecting one's spirit.
Defeats you before you even start
Suggesting defeat even before attempting to overcome challenges.
You tell yourself so many lies
Highlighting the prevalence of self-deception.
You say you've failed before you've really tried
Accepting failure prematurely and without genuine effort.
Push through that pressure and you'll be free
Encouraging resilience against internal pressures.
Fight back against your worst enemy
Promoting the idea of resisting one's most formidable opponent, oneself.
Who's gonna fight the enemy within
Repeating the question on addressing internal struggles.
If not you, then no one will
Affirming individual responsibility in facing internal conflicts.
You've got to fight if you want to be free
Linking the internal battle to the pursuit of freedom.
You've got to face your real enemy
Reiterating the true adversary as internal struggles.
Who's gonna fight the enemy within
Repeating the question of confronting inner demons.
If not you, then no one will
Emphasizing personal responsibility for internal battles.
You've got to fight if you want to be free
Connecting the fight within to the quest for freedom.
You've got to face your real enemy
Stressing the need to confront the genuine internal foe.
Who's gonna fight the enemy within
Posing a question about addressing internal struggles.
If not you, then no one will
Emphasizing personal responsibility in facing internal conflicts.
You've got to fight if you want to be free
Linking the internal battle to the pursuit of freedom.
You've got to face your real enemy
Identifying the true adversary as internal struggles.
Who's gonna fight the enemy within
Reiterating the question of confronting inner demons.
If not you, then no one will
Reasserting individual responsibility for internal battles.
You've got to fight if you want to be free
Connecting the fight within to the pursuit of freedom.
You've got to face your real enemy
Stressing the need to confront the genuine internal foe.
