Jimmy Eat World - My Enemy Lyrics






The story is common
So plain we pass by often
All motion defeated
By endless what-if questions
Obvious, we own it
Our anxious scars and bruises
Heavy hands swing slowly
With weight of our own choosing, now…

We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
We know but always told, "If we let go, we drown"

Thirsty for comfort
Too proud to ask for answers
Libraries of suggestion
The loudest voice is hidden
Obvious, so simple
Action makes for removal
Heavy heart, bad posture
Collapse and falling under, now…

We know but can't believe it's easy as it sounds
We know but always told, "If we let go, we drown"

You feel the tide is rising
That water's cold as hell
Think enemies surround you
Everyone, except yourself

Your condition
Fake direction is no protection

    this song is hella sick

  3. D.... L....

    Just curious, how is Trump putting fear into people for his own benefit?Not being a smart ass, just curious and wanna be educated.If it's about the whole tighten the border thing I think we have good reasoning for fear.

    D.... L....

    Dan Lepien I happen to like emigration, we have a declining birth rate anyway, look how many snowbirds come to die here

    D.... L....

    every statistic available says there's no good reason for fear. immigration helps the economy and immigrants do not commit crimes at any higher of a rate than normal citizens.

    D.... L....

    ​@sophos34 ILLEGAL ALIENS do commit crime at higher rates.

    Is this a song that was held back from Integrity Blues?

    r.... s....

    no it was a song written for 30 Days, 30 Songs (1000 Days, 1000 Songs). the entire album is about how bands hate donald trump. thus the name My Enemy

    r.... s....

    Yes, actually this is a song that was written for Integrity Blues. Zach Lind talks about this in a couple of interviews. They omitted the song by vote. When 30 days was a thing, they used this as a opportunity to release the song =]

  5. B.... N....

    Think for JEW this is as good as it gets.

  6. F.... A....

    Wondering where you guys are when bush and obama " gave birth" to Isis on guantanamo?
    When YOUR goverment invaded Syria and Libya, and started trowing bombs and kill inocent people why no one complained about it?
    Almost 500 THOUSAND people was killed only on syria, most inocent civilian. And you can't blame only the russians for this.
    Thanks to Obama, Hillary, Putin and Bashar al-Assad all of this things happened. But then again, you don't give a shit about it.
    Trump is a skumbag, a fucking dumbass, but you guys are a bunch of hippocrites. Even worst than he is, for ignoring all of this. So a big FUCK YOU to you all.

    F.... A....

    damn, it's nice to see non-muslims supporting murdered innocent Arabs. I'm not even being sarcastic.

    F.... A....

    Mate, you've COMPLETELY missed the point.
    You've also allowed the media to teach you how to think. Disliking Trump is NOT making a statement about anyone or anything else. By knee-jerking immediately to the 'other side', shows that you've allowed the media to convince you of something that is very much incorrect, which is that we Americans (and human beings in general) can be pigeon-holed in to 2 separate boxes. We are FAR more varied and diverse than that. We are much better than the media wants us to be, because it's not so easy to make money out of us that way.
    The points you make are NOT something that anyone has said they disagree with you on, but that doesn't change the plain fact that Trump is a terrible person, and a horrible role model for our youth, and a million miles from the kind of person we want to teach people is how you should be to be successful.
    Try to understand that even those who despise Trump, may well agree with you on the issues you bring up. People don't fall in to the pre-drawn lines the media does such a good job of making us think they do. And also remember that people cannot list everything else they like or dislike when making a point about something else.

    F.... A....

    Filipe Alves Fuck the invasion of Syria and Libya! ¿Que digo las bombas!

    F.... A....

    hippocrites...?

  7. W.... B....

    I like it a lot but what happened to JEW's drummer? The drumming is so stale and rigid idk the song could've been just as good without it

    W.... B....

    It's strange because his work on the Integrity Blues was probably the best in his career.

    W.... B....

    nothing wrong with a basic groove, i think it suits the song well. also agree with Polaris GT

  8. T.... J....

    it's subtle
    i like it
    jimmy eat world is rad
