Imagine Dragons and JID release 'Enemy' from Arcane: League of Legends
Riot Games Releases New Song And Music Video In Collaboration With Imagine Dragons And JID Ahead Of Grand Debut Arcane , the upcoming series League of Legends, which will premiere on Netflix on November 6th.
"Enemy", a three and a half minute track, features vocals by Imagine Dragons, who worked closely with Riot on "Warriors", the official Worlds 2014 song. It also features a verse from American rapper JID: one of the highlights songs.
Following young Jinx and V through the seedy streets of Zaun, the music video shows how the main characters arcane magic hugging, fighting and interacting with animated versions of Imagine Dragons and JID.
Also depicted throughout is a boy who may have been little Ekko. He rides a makeshift bike and has the champion's iconic white hair.
Video produced by Paris-based Riot and Portiche Production, which helped animate the series Arcane along with rollers league, including "Get Jinxed", "POP/STARS", and "Rise".
Expected that Arcane , based on the universe Leagues , explores the balance between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the poor, oppressed dungeon of Zaun, and features many familiar faces from the hit game.
Imagine Dragons & JID Lyrics
ENEMY | ENEMY |
---|---|
[Intro: Dan Reynolds] | [Intro: Dan Reynolds] |
look out for yourself | Take care of yourself |
[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds] | [Verse 1: Dan Reynolds] |
I wake up to the sounds of the silence that avows | I wake up to the sounds of silence that awakens |
From my mind to run around, with my ear up to the ground | And calls to run, put your ear to the ground |
I'm searching to behold the stories that I told | I'm looking for the embodiment of the stories that I told |
When my back is to the world that was smiling when I turned | I have my back to the world that smiles when I turn around |
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds] | [Chorus: Dan Reynolds] |
Tell you you're the greatest | They tell you that you are the greatest |
But once you turn, they hate us | But as soon as you turn away, they already hate you |
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds] | [Chorus: Dan Reynolds] |
Oh, the misery | Oh what a grief |
Everybody wants to be my enemy | Everyone wants to be my enemy |
Spare the sympathy | Get rid of empathy |
Everybody wants to be my enemy-yyyy | Everyone wants to be my enemy-oh-oh |
(Look out for yourself) | (Take care of yourself) |
My enemy-yyyy | To my enemy-oh-oh |
(Look out for yourself) | (Take care of yourself) |
But I'm ready | But I'm ready |
[Verse 2: Dan Reynolds] | [2 couplet] |
Your words up on the wall as you're prayin' for my fall | Your wishes can't be hidden, you pray for me to fall |
And the laughter in the halls and the names that I've been called | And the laughter in the halls and the names I called out to |
I stack it in my mind, and I'm waiting for the time | I remember it all well and I'm waiting for the right time |
When I show you what it's like to be worse tham (Am I) | To show you what it's like to be worse than (Me) |
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds] | [Chorus: Dan Reynolds] |
Tell you you're the greatest | They tell you that you are the greatest |
But once you turn, they hate us (Huh) | But as soon as you turn away, they already hate you |
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & JID] | [Chorus: Dan Reynolds & JID] |
Oh, the misery | Oh what a grief |
Everybody wants to be my enemy | Everyone wants to be my enemy |
Spare the sympathy | Get rid of empathy |
Everybody wants to be my enemy-yyyy | Everyone wants to be my enemy-oh-oh |
(Look out for yourself) | (Take care of yourself) |
My enemy-yyyy (Yeah) | To my enemy-oh-oh (Yeah) |
(Look out for yourself) | (Take care of yourself) |
Uh, look, okay | Oooh, look, okay |
[Verse 3: JID] | [Verse 3: JID] |
I'm hoping that somebody pray for me | I hope someone will pray for me |
I'm praying that somebody hope for me | I pray that someone will put their trust in me |
I'm staying with nobody close to me | I don't stay with anyone close to me |
PP Posted, being a wreck of emotions | Posted, being on the wreckage of emotions |
Ready to go whenever just let me know | Ready to go anywhere, anytime, just let me know |
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor | The road is long, so push the pedal to the floor |
The energy on my trail, my energy unavailable | Energy accompanies me, my energy is not available |
I'ma tell 'em, "hasta luego" | I'll tell them goodbye |
They wanna plot on my drive to the top | They want to encroach on my ascent to the top |
I've been out of shape, thinking out of the box | I was out of shape, thinking outside the box |
I'm an astronaut | I am an astronaut |
I blast it off of the planet rock to cause catastrophe | I'm off the planet to rock disaster |
And it matters because I had it | And it matters more because I had it |
Now, had I thought about wreaking havoc | Now if I thought about doing damage |
On an opposition, kinda shocking | To my opponents, the thought is shocking |
They want a static with precision | They need static and precision |
I'm automatic, hold it back | I'm automatic, better hold back |
I ain't talking sack and pack it | I'm not talking about collecting coins |
Pack it up, I don't panic, batter-batter up | Get it together, I don't panic, you better get it together |
Who's the baddest? | So who's tougher? |
It don't matter 'cause we're just— | It doesn't matter because we're just... |
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds] | [Chorus: Dan Reynolds] |
Everybody wants to be my enemy | Everyone wants to be my enemy |
Spare the sympathy | Get rid of empathy |
Everybody wants to be my enemy | Everyone wants to be my enemy |
Oh, the misery | Oh what a grief |
Everybody wants to be my enemy | Everyone wants to be my enemy |
Spare the sympathy | Get rid of empathy |
Everybody wants to be my enemy | Everyone wants to be my enemy |
[Outro: Dan Reynolds] | [Outro: Dan Reynolds] |
Ayo-ay, I wear I never be insane-oh-ay | Hey yo I swear I'll never lose my mind |
my enemy | my enemy |
Ayo-ay, I wear I never be insane | Hey yo I swear I'll never lose my mind |
(Look out for yourself) | (Take care of yourself) |
