American Football - My Instincts Are The Enemy Lyrics






My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I've damaged good inside of me
I need you

Translate all the colors that I can't see
I think I'm in trouble
You explain why all the reds look green to me
With my nerves exposed, I can't say no

My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I've malevolence inside of me
I need you

I wanna taste a little bit of everything
But it gets me in trouble
To fill my plate with the vacant and obscene
With my nerves exposed, I can't say no

I'm paralyzed, engaged in civil war
What can I do?
Either way, I lose
You lose, too
Days are nights and nights are unbearable
What can I do?
Chained to this mood
You're chained to me

Keep asking different questions
The same answer I receive
I need you more than ever
Tell me you what you've seen

American Football My Instincts Are The Enemy Comments
  1. Y.... s....

    but why are they asian tho

  2. S.... ....

    I discovered this band not long before traveling to Japan, and have particularly associated LP2 with that trip ever since. Surreal to find out later that the music video for my favorite track is set in that exact place. :D

  3. �.... ....

    Wait, does that mean Mike is color blind?
    Interesting

  4. m.... ....

    thems polyrythms on the second half have me fuckin banging my musician head against a desk while creaming my pants and crying at the song at the same time

    m.... ....

    actually thinkin bout it i'm not sure if it's a polyrythm, you can definitely count the guitar riff as a 3/4 along with the drums and bass, but when it starts by itself it's 100% not how I felt the tempo/time signature, which is why it almost feels like a polyrythm and the subversion of expectations gives it an amazing effect

  5. M.... G....

    Comentario. Muy buena.

  8. F.... Q....

    nice visual

  9. T.... ....

    listening to this band when you are depressed is so fucking different than when youre not. Idk how to explain it. But I'd relate it to watering plants when they are first planted, compared to when they are first starting to grow and bloom. At first I was just excited and didn't know what to expect, but now that I've seen the beauty of it, it's not more of a chore to me to water them every day, it just feels... right. I'm going through such a hard time in my life right now, but listening to them just feels... right.

  21. B.... i....

    I feel that my depression related very closely to the lyrics in this song. I’ve very recently just been happy and excited about life. I can’t say this song has helped me in anyway but I can say I related to it. Relating to something I suppose did give me some peace though.

  44. A.... C....

    How sick would it be if they go on a tour with Chinese football!

    A.... C....

  47. P.... M....

    <3 I love you American Football

  48. h.... ....

    The only worthy song on the whole album, if we’re being honest.

    h.... ....

    I wouldn't say that... for sure it is the best on it, but some of the other tracks are growing on me now after repeated listens.

  49. b.... ....

    ugh it kills me why oh why would you build it up so well only to end the song instead of one amazing huge heavy chorus section at the end or something ughhhhh it would have been so epic

    b.... ....

    cause thats fucking corny. this isnt queen bro

  50. J.... P....

    this band is truly precious.

  61. f.... ....

    *if AKFG sang in english*

  62. K.... T....

    Please come to Indonesia!

  63. R.... T....

    God damnit this is amazing

  64. h.... ....

    holy shit, i didn't know about this ? didn't know there is also a new album coming ?

  65. G.... R....

  66. P.... P....

    Japanese Skeeball

  67. J.... D....

    Fun fact: there is an Asian emo band called "Chinese Football."

    There. That's a thing you know, now.

    J.... D....

    They're pretty good too

    J.... D....

    Have a good drummer

  68. C.... ....

    Wow the melody

  69. G.... P....

    Siempre <3

  70. M.... C....

    damn, I can't stop watching this...😤

  71. A.... ....

    My instincts are the enemy
    In my life of celibacy

  72. L.... B....

    This album was good. You aren't a real fan (or a Real Friend) if you disagree.

  73. m.... ....

    NIH
    ON-GO FUUTOBARU

  74. C.... M....

    American Football acknowledges Japanese rock bands being heavily influenced by them. Majority of Japanese Rock bands contains that twinkly tone(feels) nostalgia you know what i mean.

  75. D.... T....

    The breakdown is basically 'here we are' by Bloc Party...

  76. s.... g....

    the vibes lads

  77. I.... L....

    wait... this isn't asian kungfu generation

  78. M.... J....

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  79. E.... ....

    Why does this song and their album not available on Spotify here in the Philippines? :(

  80. V.... M....

    Is it Chinese Football playing on the video?

  81. L.... ....

    If you expected the drum beat at 3:02 you're lying.

  82. v.... ....

    I love how their voices have matured like fine wine

  83. k.... ....

    chinazos

  84. �.... ....

    大好き✌️

  85. J.... O....

    Tranquila mujer, tranquila

  86. G.... ....

  88. B.... ....

    Spotify please:(

  89. A.... A....

    FREAKING LOVE MATH ROCK. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM WALKING IN A FIELD OF SUNFLOWERS WITH MY GUITAR STRAPPED ON MY BACK

  90. M.... T....

    This video makes me want to go back to Japan and I just left.

  91. A.... ....

    So beautiful it hurts

  92. j.... c....

    Did they intentionally made the last part sound like 'Honestly'?

  93. O.... ....

    ok this is nice

  94. N.... V....

    American Weebball

  95. L.... S....
