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.
I would never leave you all alone
Imaginary enemy.
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
Who taught me to hate you
When I don't even know you
Who created the enemy

[@OlaGamerGirl]

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

[@ernyeeast]

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

[@theapostleofpeace]

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.

[@randomcnally4312]

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

[@SophieInDigital]

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

[@ProfessorRJLupin]

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.

[@jeremydeane7057]

Agreed

[@CaptainBartholemieux]

False, North Korea is full of brainwashed zombies who hail their "supreme leader". Russia has massive propaganda campaigns which feed them false information about the USA and other capitalist "empires". Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, and every other Muslim/Islamic country is split between those who favor freedom and those who are radical followers of Allah. Your point is also true, the citizens of many countries, literally almost every-one except the three you listed, are falsely represented by their governments. The USA, for example.

[@ProfessorRJLupin]

CaptainBartholemieux You're right about North Korea, they're brainwashed sheep for the most part, but come on. Citizens of ANYWHERE can be good people.

[@CaptainBartholemieux]

Agreed.

[@mbsaljaber5883]

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

[@rachelsorrell_]

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!

[@gypsyheart9418]

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

[@Essuez94]

This new album is going to be Awesome!!!

[@gnrfreak08]

Is awesome*

[@thebroomersband]

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.

[@azbycxzaybzc7797]

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

[@GoreSloth19]

I for the fiirst time just cried with gratitude. Because of my ptsd

[@kelseypotter1512]

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

[@sweetinout]

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

[@mansonangel7436]

Ditto !

[@ghozte666]

Song still slaps

[@doci6139]

Best song from the album together with "Revolution"

[@vamp666crow]

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

[@Renaisance01990]

This band really 👌 😍 stupendous funtabulastly fantastic

[@skyl2661]

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

[@fromthebrightvalley5529]

This is so relevant for the 2020 era lol

[@Landon657]

2:24 🤯

[@carloosoliva]

Genial, los queremos de vuelta en México !!!

[@99niekliam]

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

[@TheSpookychick]

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.

[@CassieTheUnicorn]

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

[@JohnSmith-um8lg]

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

[@codydfwn]

FOR REAL. This is exactly how I feel almost just about every fanbase! With a group that actually is trying to wake us all up, anyway. Billy Talent is another one I feel people just don't even truly get what they're saying. And anything else that's conscious and not just mindless, pure emotion.

[@ElijahBobija]

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

[@asmile1235]

That guitar is a melody on its own excellent song

[@batu04]

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

[@shanescorpio]

This album is amazing!

[@13TheFurry]

the breakdown at 2:25 is so fucking great

[@ReveLuv1814]

Everything from this band is so fucking great

[@13TheFurry]

V1nsanity Touché

[@BithaZombie]

i knew it!!!! I knew it!!! imaginary enemy it's just awesome!!!

[@itzelitamccracken]

Amo esta cancion

[@jeremydeane7057]

[@JayviationGames]

[@Camburg44]

[@jorgealan7478]

[@Camburg44]

[@ComedyDownpour]

Download them now, then buy the album on Tuesday. That's what I'm doing :D

[@jorgealan7478]

Electro Well that is not what Bert wants !! He invite us to steal it from Walmart ;) LOL

[@faheemthedream2007]

[@crativedeath]

Anyone notice Chadam was on the album cover?

[@GoreSloth19]

Bert. You have now saved my life twice now

[@xWhereswaldo]

So damn excited

[@Cariqooza]

This is too much perfect, i cant♡

[@paulzegarra7211]

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

[@Pilutta100]

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.

[@DX1702]

simplemente ame todo el nuevo album

[@tylerscott6640]

The bridge at 2:24 is hard as fuck. I love it.

[@paulzegarra6356]

[@AtlasRockstheKazbah]

[@Duplex39]

I don't have data left so I could only listen to 1 of the new songs :(:(

[@Patrick-fv6yh]

That's how I was this morning at school, I had to wait all day till I could here this orgasmic album

[@mattschexnaydre7157]

:D Super surprised!!!

[@jessicasolon4757]

Come to Brasil!

[@ComedyDownpour]

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

[@96luisma]

Im going to listen to this song until I hated

[@OMGitsDSypl]

Oh holy shit, this is a treat! Didn't expect to hear this so early!

[@saramilena.]

AAAhh joder!! this song is so gooooood :DD

[@mikekrcma1352]

I came here because the used popped into my mind

[@Landon657]

2:33 3:11 WHO CREATED THE ENEMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

[@ermunmunkhnasan1022]

2:33 3:11 WHO CREATED THE ENEMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!???????

[@ronneybacaful]

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

[@lindsaynichols1556]

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

[@DandePapel996]

que año salio?

[@xradical89x]

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

[@thebadbandito]

+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)

[@bigchungus5933]

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

[@dacasman]

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.

[@samantha1029]

Agreed.

[@Eyecyou64]

Yah because The Used are pop, music changes

[@dacasman]

Thats my point. they changed to pop. just like every other band I used to love.

[@pieholekid]

dacasman This is far from pop

[@ghostskittlez4286]

Mcr broke up like a year ago...

[@chaycekizer6798]

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

[@aliciaschroeder7212]

Well this comment didn't age the best for the 2nd part. But I just started to get into the used 4 days ago after meaning to since march and it is ranked as equal to mcr for me. Mcr is the band that saved my life and got me into this sort if stuff

[@lpifitnessbrandproducts6774]

imaginary damnation.

[@elliottearsenic6705]

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. (:

[@ChemyNoSurfea]

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.

[@mirrepoix]

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

[@ProfessorRJLupin]

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.

[@jimh4459]

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

[@samcrooker4679]

Admittedly I always think this the weakest album by The Used. (And I still do from a musical standpoint... a good chunk of the album is underwhelming). However I always loved this track as well as Make Believe and the first 4 songs. And the messages on this albums have aged well,

[@k-hype1551]

I came here because of the KZbin AD

[@TheRealAli234]

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

[@sschevelle1965]

what happened to the old used

[@doci6139]

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

[@theshadowninja93]

The circa survive song with the same name is better.

[@oscarnavarrete4728]

it maybe but the message is not

[@kimbreed2241]

where is trump?

[@thebadbandito]

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

[@BathroomKing2347]

Oh which album does it remind you of?

[@thebadbandito]

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

[@BathroomKing2347]

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

[@doci6139]

+Robert Lewis (thebadbandito) mhm absolutely not

[@OfMiceAndCody]

Ugh yuck, the drums sound like crap! Whoever produced this needs to rethink the drums x.x

[@christianromero1019]

That would be John Fieldman my good friend. Same guy who produced like three of their other albums haha

[@jeromylyon5301]

I have lost ALL RESPECT for this bullshit band. 1st off they haven't made a decent song since "the bird and the worm" and that was okay at best. But for them to take a Circa Survive song that is absolutely EPIC and try and make it the name of their bullshit album, honestly it pisses me off!! We all have our own opinions and this is mine...

[@swallowingacid]

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