Bayside - Enemy Lines Lyrics






You say you’re happy
But you look so sad
Did you think I would keep this bitter tongue
Behind crooked teeth and angry gums?
Now you’re upset
But you’ve gotta admit, it’s catchy

Not that I think you care
But I don’t feel right being here
I'm not gonna make it after all

I am the last of my kind
Just a yank in southern battlefields
Behind enemy lines
And alone to find out how I wound up here
Every mistake, a reason to run
But a good soldier marches on
Knowing the worst may be still yet to come

You don’t want to hear it
When you could be wrong
What’s a house? A bed? A pillow? A shed?
If you got no trust then you got no chance
You’ve got problems
And your bags are getting heavy

Not that I think you care
But I don’t feel right being here
I'm not gonna make it after all

I am the last of my kind
Just a yank in southern battlefields
Behind enemy lines
And alone to find out how I wound up here
Every mistake, a reason to run
But a good soldier marches on
Knowing the worst may be still yet to come

It was right before our eyes
I am sorry but I had to write a song
About how you were wrong
I’m not even sure you were
But dear, that’s how I cope
It’s all I know
Now we’re both casualties in this
And every kiss and every word
They were bullets spraying hazardly from lips

I am the last of my kind
Just a yank in southern battlefields
Behind enemy lines
And alone to find out how I wound up here
Every mistake, a reason to run
But a good soldier marches on
Knowing the worst may be still yet to come
And the worst may be still yet to come

Bayside Enemy Lines Comments
  1. B.... Y....

    Lol this band. So fucking consistent. I love the shit out of all their material. Nothing is bad... It's one of those bands you can just listen to everything and nothing bad.

  2. P.... C....

    hallelujah its raining man~

  3. R.... T....

    This is dope! :)

  4. M.... d....

    Nice nice

  5. T.... S....

    You say youre happy but you look so sad!!

  6. C.... ....

    I love the orchestration of MCR meeting the enunciation and singing style of TOP. Definitely a good hang for me.

    C.... ....

    Like, specifically the guitar in this reminds me of This Is How I Disappear, and there's that one snare riff that sounds like something akin to Welcome To The Black Parade. I need more of that good stuff in my library, especially since we won't be getting any more from the progenitors themselves.

  7. T.... M....

    i hopw every one listens to the lead singer syndrome episode and leanrs what this album is about.

  8. b.... ....

    im new to bayside but i love this album and have heard it 1000 times approximately. i wanna listen to the rest of their stuff should i start at the beginning or go backwards or any reccomendation on next album i should get??

    b.... ....

    killing time is my favorite album! I suggest you start there. its a lot like this one

    b.... ....

    you can honestly start anywhere with them, they haven't put anything bad out. ever.

  9. N.... A....

    Is it just me or this one sounds a lot like My Chemichal Romance?

  10. S.... G....

    I love when I discover a new album when I thought the band is done making music XD XD XD

  11. M.... W....

    i love bayside but this album needs a song that goes a little harder. sorry if rhat sounds ghetto

  12. B.... A....

    I am the last of my kind...

  13. D.... S....

    i fuckin love the new album! i dunnk how the hell they can have all these albums n still havent sold out . they make real music with feeling and its absolutely priceless!

  14. S.... F....

    This song is absolutely beautiful. Bayside is that rare band that puts out records that are superior to their prior ones. The lyrics and music are both totally on point. And they consistently stay true to their established sound, but get more deep and unique at the same time.

  15. J.... W....

    so much emotion

  16. S.... m....

    sounds like a steven universe song awsome

  17. L.... S....

    im so happy my bus driver put this band on, thanks to Mr Tom, i know this awesome band!

  18. M.... G....

    Like the sound of the new album. "Pretty Vacant" sounds really nice too, I like this one a little more. Probably because is more energetic. Keep it out you guys, greetings from Uruguay.

  19. _.... _....

    Drums remind me of the black parade XD

  20. J.... A....

    Where's Jack Oshea's solo?

  21. K.... W....

    When does this come out

  22. R.... ....

    In conclusion, yes

  23. F.... R....

    perfect !

  24. N.... B....

    Sounds like the killing time album

  25. p.... ....

    I'd say killing time is bayside most popular album because of sick sick sick and already gone

    p.... ....

    BiteForce//PrinceOfRandom// u have to be high

    p.... ....

    The walking wounded

  26. S.... P....

    Sweeeeeet hard to believe how good they still are! harder to believe devotion & desire came out 12 years ago bummer I'm getting old af

  27. T.... E....

    My goodness, I LOVE THIS. Totally jamming.

  28. H.... ....

    this song is amazing I can't wait for Vacancy I'm also seeing them in August can't wait for both

  29. D.... G....

    this band is so awesome

  30. S.... M....

    Damn Bayside!!!! You still got it! Stoked for the new record!!

  31. A.... A....

    Anthony's vocals 👍👍

  32. T.... S....

    Wow! They just keep taking it to the next level with every new album. I can't wait for this one to come, anyone know a release date yet?

  33. A.... H....

    That trademark Bayside melody always gets me... Damn.

    A.... H....

    The tone is just huge. I love it. It's almost orchestral with the layered guitar arrangements.

  34. J.... D....

    Yet again, even better...

  35. W.... E....

    If you like Bayside check us out! You'll dig it 😉

    W.... E....

    When Eyes Collide I would but you have no content on your channel

  36. B.... ....

    the verse chorus verse chorus bridge chorus structure is becoming tiresome

  37. J.... R....

    Small motioncity soundtrack vibe

  38. x.... ....

    yes! Anthony you're the reason I have such high standards for lyrics. f you and thank you all in the same.

    x.... ....

    try, "Yes! Anthony you're the reason i have such high standards for lyrics thank you so much for preventing me from listening to trash."

  39. M.... E....

    I've died and gone to heaven, because this is just too good!! x

  40. M.... C....

    You guys always blow me away

  41. M.... ....

    So, Killing Time was an amazing album huh? Yep. Great album. Kinda album that can't be topped. No one should even try. No one.

    M.... ....

    Weezer is a cult haha

  42. p.... ....

    This just makes me so excited for the new album! Great job guys!!

    p.... ....

    yes! no album has been the same. no band ever keeps the same sound and progresses the way Bayside does.

    p.... ....

    Exactly! They're such a talented and unique band!

  43. M.... ....

    So much angst and emotion. You can feel how angry Anthony is about the situation he's writing about. So raw.

  44. T.... R....

    bullets spraying Hazardly from lips!!

  45. T.... R....

    FUCK YEA FUCKIN FUCKERS

  46. S.... S....

    loveeee

  47. S.... ....

    I'm so stoked for my favorite bands new album and to see them again in Denver!

  48. D.... ....

    bayside you truly are a great band I love how your music has deep meaning I love it because I can tell you 9/10 times I can relate to your music although you have your meaning I have mines THANK YOU for your music

  49. C.... H....

    I love this so much. They have the unique ability to move forward stylistically but still "sound like Bayside"

  50. C.... J....

    bayside is a fucking cult!!!! Look up lead singer syndrome on soundcloud to draw a meaning from this new album.! Support bayside fuckers

    C.... J....

    Chris Jr And br&new
    And boys night out

  51. A.... ....

    Pure greatness.

  52. E.... H....

    Dear god yes

  53. T.... ....

    Love this!

  54. M.... l....

    YESSSSS! AMAZING! Can't freakin wait for the rest of the album! 😊❤

  55. J.... ....

    best to date

  56. H.... ....

    They better come back to the west coast soon.....

    H.... ....

    they announced tour dates a few weeks back. I know SF was on there.

    H.... ....

    Yeah I found them :D

  57. S.... ....

    Honestly the beginning of the song is probably the most interesting part for me. The rest sounds like it could just be a b side to cult. I'm hoping for better songs from the rest of the album because this one didn't quite hit home for me and I know they can do better.

    S.... ....

    +teen14 find*

    S.... ....

    +teen14 own*

    S.... ....

    @teen14 Don't get me wrong. I still like the song and I don't think it's a bad song by any means. It just didn't blow my mind like I was hoping for. I love Bayside and I have Vacancy on pre order!

    S.... ....

    i know where you come from, i felt the same about pigsty last album, and mona lisa the one before. thankfully they grew on me, but i'm actually digging this one a lot.

    S.... ....

    I can see where you are coming from, but. It didn't blow my mind on my first listen. But no song ever does. I absolutely love this song now. I can never truly form an opinion on a song or album on the first listen, I always need about 5-10 listens, I don't think anyone can truly say how they feel about a song after listening to it one time. That's the reason that album/song reviews are completely garbage to me.

  58. Z.... D....

    it blows me away how this band gets better with every release yet stays true to their established sound.

    Z.... D....

    Silverstein is another band that is extremely good at changing, but still keeping their sound. Each album is similar but different

    Z.... D....

    The old sound was put to rest with the acoustic album.

    Z.... D....

    This was their weakest Release.

    Z.... D....

    Meanbirds I hear it for sure. The Bayside LP and tww are where they were able to establish the fact that they would be able to do this for a long time to come. After that, they were simply able to devote more time to perfecting their craft.

    Z.... D....

    Yeah...weakest release. I hated walking wounded as well. Love everything else.

  59. d.... ....

    Yikes. Really boring.

  60. C.... T....

    I'm so fucking pumped for this album!!

  61. T.... ....

    Amazing

    T.... ....

    Well said, Hicks

  62. B.... L....

    Thank you. Bayside always comes to the rescue.

  63. N.... M....

    Beautiful

  64. S.... M....

    Jack O Shea is one of my favorite guitarists, and this song seriously adds to that. Fuck yes.

    S.... M....

    Got to admit there is some solid riffing in this song

    S.... M....

    Hahha yeah definitely! Some of his solos and lead stuff are pretty ridiculous

    S.... M....

    What I love even more is how Anthony and Jack play together. It's perfect chemistry. The layering is beyond amazing.

  65. Z.... V....

    I love this so much ❤️❤️❤️

  66. C.... Z....

    This song sounds a lot like Already Gone and Tortures of the Damned. Can't wait for the new album!

  67. M.... B....

    beginning is amazing

  68. D.... C....

    I really like this new song! The band has obviously matured and this song shows. Still have their signature sound and are still moving forward.

  69. K.... T....

    SO GOOD

  70. R.... G....

    album of the year.

  71. m.... m....

    Awesome! Cant wait to hear the rest.

  72. �.... ....

    i dont know what this lyric means.

    �.... ....

    +Ethan McKenzie thank you for your kind answer. i always think, in english lyrics, used too many metapho, so it is hard to under stand. have a good day

    �.... ....

    +김상협 ...Bayside uses metaphors in all songs... so.. hard for you to understand.... but you can feel the passion correct?

    �.... ....

    +Timothy Rankin yel I believe we can all interoperate the metaphors to our personal feelings

    �.... ....

    +Timothy Rankin yes i think yor're right. i can feel their passion. i think except bayside, there is hundred of band that use tons of metapho,like fall out boy,panic at the disco,and other metalcoreband or post hardcore band. but i listen a lot this kind music,i love it cause i can feel thr paasion from their guitar sound, and structure of composing method. so even i don't about what lyric means, i can feel what they want to say. have a good day dude.

    �.... ....

    @***** No, it isn't false, he and his most recent wife got a divorce and the song is about how he feels stuck and alone in Nashville, I listened to a podcast Anthony did with Shane Told of Silverstein on Shane's "Lead Singer Syndrome" podcast, Anthony talked about the new album and his divorce on the podcast

  73. M.... T....

    👌🏼👍🏼

  74. U.... A....

    I love when Bayside gets a little punkier than usual.

    U.... A....

    yesssss

    U.... A....

    they sound the same but make it new each time

  75. Z.... S....

    Super rad! Can't wait for the album!
