“Enemy”, performed by Imagine Dragons & JID during the Worlds 2021 Opening Ceremony.
Lyrics
[Intro: Dan Reynolds]
Look out for yourself
[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds]
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground
I’m searching to behold the stories that are told
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Tell you you’re the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
But I’m ready
[Verse 2: Dan Reynolds]
Your words up on thе wall as you’re prayin’ for my fall
And the laughter in thе halls and the names that I’ve been called
I stack it in my mind, and I’m waiting for the time
When I show you what it’s like to be words spit in a mic
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Tell you you’re the greatest
But once you turn, they hate us (Ha)
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & JID]
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy-y-y-y-y (Yeah)
(Look out for yourself)
Uh, look, okay
[Verse 3: JID]
I’m hoping that somebody pray for me
I’m praying that somebody hope for me
I’m staying where nobody ‘posed to be p-p-posted
Being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever just let me know
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy’s on my trail, my energy unavailable
I’ma tell ’em, “Hasta luego”
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I’ve been outta shape, thinkin’ out the box
I’m an astronaut
I blasted off the planet rock to cause catastrophe
And it matters more because I had it not
Had I thought about wreaking havoc
On an opposition, kinda shockin’
They wanted static with precision
I’m automatic quarterback
I ain’t talkin’ sacking, pack it
Pack it up, I don’t panic, batter-batter up
Who the baddest?
It don’t matter ’cause we at ya throat
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Oh, the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be my enemy
[Outro: Dan Reynolds]
Pray it away, I swear I’ll never be a Saint, no way
My enemy
Pray it away, I swear I’ll never be a Saint
(Look out for yourself)
