ENEMY Lyrics (English Translation) – TWICE

ENEMY (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Chaeyoung, Tzuyu, Dahyun, Mina]
This part talks about feeling hurt when someone keeps pushing you away, especially when you’re already struggling inside. It’s like they only want you to be perfect, and if you’re not, you’re not good enough for them. Looking at yourself feels strange, like you don’t even recognize who you’ve become. It’s painful and leaves emotional scars that don’t go away, making you feel like you’re slowly losing who you really are.

[Pre-Chorus: Jeongyeon, Momo, Tzuyu, Dahyun, (Nayeon)]
Here, the focus is on the emotional impact of harsh words. They hit so hard that it becomes difficult to even speak. Still, there’s this inner strength that says, “You can’t break me,” even though frustration is building up inside from always trying to be honest and misunderstood.

[Chorus: Nayeon, Tzuyu, Jihyo, Sana, (Chaeyoung, Dahyun)]
This chorus is about choosing to face pain instead of running from it. Scars and tears become part of your strength. Even when things feel overwhelming, the fight continues. The goal is to keep going, never letting the struggle take over, and refusing to back down or escape.

[Verse 2: Mina, Jeongyeon, Dahyun & Chaeyoung, Momo]
This verse talks about how exhausting it is to live under constant judgment—people watching, comparing, and expecting you to be something new all the time. The pressure makes it hard to breathe. But there’s a desire to break free from this box others put you in. Like flowers swaying in the wind, growth comes from struggle. Even with everything going on, there’s determination to shine in a unique way and turn into someone everyone looks up to, while breaking down the enemy inside.

[Pre-Chorus: Sana, Mina, Momo, Tzuyu, (Jihyo)]
Here, it’s about being misunderstood and labeled as “crazy” in chaotic times. But instead of letting all that noise get in the way, there’s a push to block it out. No one gets to decide your limits, and there’s a strong will to keep going, no matter how frustrating or hard it gets.

[Chorus: Jihyo, Sana, Nayeon, Tzuyu, (Dahyun)]
This chorus repeats the message of strength—holding onto pain but using it to rise instead of fall. Tears aren’t a weakness; they’re fuel. Even when life gets really tough, there’s no quitting. It’s a promise to keep pushing forward and not run from the hard stuff.

[Bridge: Jeongyeon, Mina, Sana, Jihyo, (Momo)]
This part reflects a turning point. There’s realization and clarity now—knowing there’s strength within. You don’t want to see yourself break down anymore. No matter how tough things get, you keep trying. Fear and weakness are left behind. You’re ready to move forward, free from all the things that used to hold you back.

[Chorus: Nayeon, Tzuyu, Jihyo, Sana, (Chaeyoung, Jeongyeon)]
The final chorus drives the message home with even more strength. There’s acceptance of every scar and tear, but instead of being broken, you rise above. Even if the battle never seems to end, you keep fighting. This time, it’s clear—there’s no running away, only moving forward with courage.
