Used, The - Imaginary Enemy Lyrics






I wasn't made to understand.
I've given up my name, forgotten where I stand.
Sometimes I don't know who I am. I used to feel so scared,
I used to hold your hand.
I'm so sick of playing favorites, sick of being scared.

They would rather see you all alone.
Imaginary Enemy!
We are much less different than we know.
Imaginary Enemy...Imaginary Enemy!
I would never leave you all alone.
Imaginary Enemy! (HA!)

I will not ever understand.
Just how it got this way, and how it got so bad.
You're not a part of what we need. There is no common ground.
We hate what you believe.
I'm so sick of playing favorites, sick of being scared.

They would rather see you all alone.
Imaginary Enemy!
We are much less different than we know.
Imaginary Enemy...Imaginary Enemy!
I would never leave you all alone.
Imaginary Enemy!

Who taught me to hate you, when I don't even know you?
Who Created the enemy?
Who taught me to hate you, when I don't even know you?
Who taught me to hate you, hate you, hate you!

Who created the enemy!?

Who created!?...

They would rather see you all alone.
Imaginary Enemy!
We are much less different than we know.
Imaginary Enemy...Imaginary Enemy!
I would never leave you all alone.
Imaginary Enemy!

Who created the enemy!?

Who created!?...

Used, The Imaginary Enemy Comments
  1. n.... r....

    That guitar is a melody on its own excellent song

  2. c.... k....

    The used is a trillion times better than my chemical romance. Plus they're still a band 😂😂

  3. L.... P....

    imaginary damnation.

  4. S.... '....

    Loved The Used during the Self-Titled and In Love in Death years, but this album is something special too. I'm glad Bert got all political. I was learning about Marx before I got into The Used and all those other emo bands in 2005, so over those years my ideology was something I kept in the background when I'd go to the shows and hang out with my emo friends. The family home was religious and my town was white right-wing and christian. It was quite a lonely time for me. The Used pretty much represented emo back in those days so having them release an album like this is like a dream come true.
    I'm going to see Self-Titled played in full tonight and In Love and Death tomorrow night so I get to feel all nostalgic. But I want to hear Imaginary Enemy played in full. That's where my heart is.

    S.... '....

    Shanti 'Sanjay' Roy I feel all of this so much. ❤

    S.... '....

    Go and fuck thyself.

  5. J.... H....

    Good song and album. Don't get why they only played two songs live off of it.

  6. D.... C....

    Best song from the album together with "Revolution"

  7. R.... L....

    This is awfully Panic! At The Disco........

    R.... L....

    Oh which album does it remind you of?

    R.... L....

    Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die, I suppose. With a hint of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.

    R.... L....

    I guess I can hear it. Not too bad though. I mean they may not have been part of the emo trinity, but they might as well have been. It's been MCR sounding in a couple albums and fall out boy sounding in others

    R.... L....

    +Robert Lewis (thebadbandito) mhm absolutely not

  8. E.... i....

    this whole album somehow summarizes my point of view on the world! incredible.

  9. I.... a....

    Chadam is on the cover! I just noticed lol (he's in the corner on the right hand side) I like their heavier sound more, but I think this song sounds a bit okay. There are stand out moments like at 2:24.

  10. x.... ....

    this makes me think of "Am I The Enemy" by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

    x.... ....

    +xradical89x I hate the fact that that band ruined a perfectly good song by re-recording it and taking the screams out of it making it a generic piece of trash emo song. (Face Down)

  11. J.... S....

    Come to Brasil!

  12. J.... S....

    I hope all the people fan-squealing over this band actually pay attention to their messages.

  13. d.... ....

    Seems like all my old favorite bands have changed to this new mainstream poppy radio station sound. 
    The Used, Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Panic At The Disco, My Chemical Romance, Versaemerge. I can go on and on. 
    It really makes me sad and gives me a sort of cynical feeling towards new albums coming out by said bands. 
    It's one thing when a band changes their sound a bit. That is understandable. But when a band changes their entire genre, they really aren't even the same band anymore.

    d.... ....

    @dacasman They're not pop. They're still rock, just not as heavy,

    d.... ....

    @ThePootie64 They're not pop. They're still rock, just not as heavy as they used to be. Lol, did you catch that? (the used)

    d.... ....

    +dacasman Panic! still makes some good music and you can't say that they've changed because their music has always been weird.

    d.... ....

    I’m a little late, but how is this song a change from what The Used has always been? They’ve always had songs with a slightly pop feel at times. They’ve definitely always been rock, but they’ve had songs similar to this feel all along. Some even more poppy on Shallow Believer and Lies for the Liars. Shallow believer was all B sides recorded during their first second and third record. Bottom line is they definitely haven’t changed. They’ve always been a mix and had variety with some songs sounding more pop driven. Bert calls it “gross pop”

    d.... ....

    The Used is the only band that still sounds the same since day one.

  14. C.... A....

    I bought this CD just to try something new with no knowledge on them at all and I ended up really enjoying the album, This song is one of my favorites.

  15. s.... ....

    I love this song! I love that you guys 'get it' .

    s.... ....

    Ditto !

  16. D.... d....

    que año salio?

  17. K.... P....

    Can't wait to see them next Friday.!!! 😲

  18. R.... S....

    HELP ME ITS SO GOOD.

    This band has been with me for 12 years, and they are still amazing. Yeah, their sound has  kinda changed...duh. (BUT they still kept that essence that makes them The Used.) Hello, 12 years. You can't stay the same for 12 years.

    This CD gives me hope. The revolutionary lyrics and mind set of the songs lets me know I am not alone in how I feel. Nor am I alone when it comes to being severely pissed off about current affairs. This generation IS NOT generation throwaway. ;)

    Aaaaaaaanyway, this band is STILL relevant, after 12 fucking years. Bravo, guys, Keep it up!

  19. P.... ....

    Gosh, I would have wanted a video for this, with 60's gogo dancers. Well well. I see it my mind. No place like it.

  20. B.... C....

    Who created the enemy..? Maybe we should all entertain this thought for awhile.

  21. A.... ....

    I don't think this is their best album. It's too clean for me. I miss the raw and rough sound, the hysterical laughter, the screams, the real screamo sound of The Used like Vulnerable and all their other previous albums

  22. b.... b....

    what happened to the old used 

    b.... b....

    brandon butler
    Things change. Things will never change if we remain the same

  23. S.... A....

    simplemente ame todo el nuevo album 

  24. s.... m....

    AAAhh joder!! this song is so gooooood :DD

  25. R.... B....

    Who taught me to hate you, when I don't even know you?

  26. p.... z....

    ESTE CANCION DEBERIA TENER UN VIDEO MUSICAL !!!!!

  27. K.... H....

    I came here because of the YouTube AD

  28. T.... ....

    lol I know this might sound stupid but at first I thought this was Imagine Dragons.

  29. S.... P....

    This album is amazing!

  30. p.... z....

    ÉXTASIS TOTAL ,MÚSICA GENIAL, MENSAJE SUBLIMINAL, THE USED !

  31. J.... D....

    Glad to still be here 10yrs later

  32. A.... A....

    Been a fan for 4 years, know all their songs, don't own a single album. This album will be my first, finally! XD

  33. E.... B....

    My favorite breakdowns are like ones the used make, they arnt over chugged drops but the attitude in play style and synchronization

  34. m.... ....

    The circa survive song with the same name is better.

    m.... ....

    it maybe but the message is not

  35. S.... L....

    I remember the first time seeing Bert's new haircut. I also remember saying ''Holy SHITE Bert got a new haircut...''

  36. S.... ....

    Glad this band is still rocking it after over 12 years. Impressive

  37. L.... N....

    Hob April 27 ? Backstage meet and greet?please guys?

  38. g.... ....

    Nice album :) love it.

  39. I.... T....

    Amo esta cancion

  40. L.... H....

    Im going to listen to this song until I hated <3

  41. G.... H....

    10 years a fan !! They will always be amazing !!!!

  42. J.... C....

    I think this is the only song that has the correct lyrics to them lol.

  43. g.... ....

    This new album is going to be Awesome!!! 

    g.... ....

    Is awesome*

  44. b.... ....

    I just love the intro to this song.. and the whole rhythm it has <3

  45. R.... ....

    Are you kidding me?!! This is beyond perfection, The Used are DA BEST <3

  46. N.... ....

    Anyone notice Chadam was on the album cover?

  47. P.... ....

    This is why we need to understand and appreciate people from all over the world, even if they're North Korean, Iranian or Russian or from wherever we're supposed to be "against" at the moment.  A country's leaders are not the same as its people.  I love this song's message that our governments tell us to hate people based on their cultures and countries of origins but they're human beings just like us.  An excellent song and a terrific new album.

    P.... ....

    @CaptainBartholemieux in the most muslim countries , we favour freedom -.- 

    P.... ....

    We need to see beyond our eyes. Agree.

    P.... ....

    The thing about North Korea is, if they weren't fed all the lies and propaganda, and they weren't "brainwashed sheep". They might not all be bad people. The way I look at it is, there are bad people, but not whole bad countries. It's just very unfortunate when those bad people take control of the country, and we have bias against everyone from that country just because of their government. :/ It's fine if you don't agree with me, but that just how I see it.

    P.... ....

    You may as well say all Christians are killers. Men have killed in the name of God just like men have killed in the name of Allah. How hard is it to understand that those people make up a small minority of those religious groups? Seriously ignorant there. I could make friends with Jews, Muslims, Christians, Hindus - because they are all nice people.
    I'm a Christian by the way.

    P.... ....

    Except we should probably be against North Korea lol. I mean, Kim Jong Un has left his country in ruins, his people brainwashed into blindly following him. Now he's threatening nuclear offenses. They're outwardly against us; they don't want us to "understand" them, they want to nuke the shit out of us.

  48. C.... ....

    Jeez, this song is really great. I dig the bass line.

  49. d.... ....

    the breakdown at 2:25 is so fucking great

    d.... ....

    Everything from this band is so fucking great

    d.... ....

    @V1nsanity Touché

    L.... W....

  53. J.... ....

    you guys have outdone yourselves yet again! love the new album already~!

  54. E.... C....

    This is too much perfect, i cant♡

  55. C.... R....

    FUCK YEAH

  56. a.... z....

    THANK YOU FOR JUST MAKING MY DAY WITH THIS! GORGEOUS. PRECIOUS. TRUE. SAD. WONDERFUL. SURPRISE.

  57. C.... A....

    Genial, los queremos de vuelta en México !!!

  58. E.... A....

    is it just me or did anyone else think this album was gonna be more of the punk side. i think this cover should have been on the ocean of the sky ep. but either way i think this is fucking great.! the used never disappoints. (:

    E.... A....

    I did think this was going to be heavier, but It's still pretty good, I dig all the different sounds they tried out, so mature.

    E.... A....

    ocean of the sky was much rougher than this, it would have been out of place on the EP.

    E.... A....

    The Used have an extremely versatile sound that varies throughout each album.  They've got heavier songs and softer songs, often right next to each other.  Compare the fast-paced, aggressive "The Bird and the Worm" to the quiet, light "All That I've Got".  The Used aren't confined to one style.

  59. S.... C....

    So damn excited

  60. L.... M....

    This is awesome!

  61. B.... K....

    thanks for uploading this guys!!!!!!!!!!!
