Evanescence, Track #13 (Deluxe edition bonus track)
Serve your twisted enemy So you might earn forgiveness You know your whole world is waiting So why can’t you speak?
I feel it coming over me I’m still a slave to these dreams Is this the end of everything? Or just a new way to bleed?
So go and tell all your friends That I’m a failure underneath If it makes you feel like a bigger man But it’s my, my heart, my life That you're calling a lie I’ve played this game before And I can’t take anymore
I feel it coming over me I’m still a slave to these dreams Is this the end of everything? Or just a new way to bleed?
By drifting far beyond the edge Freedom, freedom, Can’t you feel the ground caving in? Freedom, Give us a reason to believe again
I feel it coming over me I’m still a slave to these dreams Is this the end of everything? Or just a new way to bleed?

By the way, what means 'twisted enemy'? When I try to translate it, it doesn't make sense. Thanks.

My interpretation of a twisted person would be a messed up person, someone who's crazy, nuts. As a twisted enemy i understand a twisted person who's also evil, someone who enjoys manipulating (situations or people) and doing harm. A twisted enemy. I would write it in portuguese, but i don't have idea how to do it, hehe, IDK, maybe a native english speaker can come up with a better description. But since the song is about the band's discomfort with their current label, idk exactly what "twisted enemy" means in the context of the song. Maybe their twisted enemy is a bussiness man from the label trying to control their creative process and it's just a metaphor. This song is written in a really weird way, because according to certain lines like these: it seems like the lyrics were written with someone in particular in mind. At first, i though it was about an ex bandmate or some ex-friend, or an ex lover, because the lyrics sound so personal.

My interpretation of "twisted enemy" in the context of the song, is someone who is controlling what Amy or the band are creating. The bands manager, or whoever they present their work to, is the enemy because they do not like what Amy and the band have created, so they TWIST (or turn upside down) what the band is creating, or will create.

Perhaps it was to the label, again, like Sick was...

I speak full English its my 1st
I've used twisted and others too as in disturbing or a person who doesn't think straight...kind of crazy or not understood by anyone

Another word that might be suitable is - warped - on Google the Portugese translation says its - deformado !

^ It does make sense... it's figurative, but it's almost literal. Twisted like in "I can't escaped the twisted way you think of me". Disturbing, frightening, malicious. Straight = good, correct; twisted = bad, incorrect, sick, intricate.
