Everybody Needs A Fence To Lean On Lyrics

I am looking, lookin' for something
can't quite put my mind at ease
'cause i need to see, see an opening
take my arms in and bring
bring it together, make it warmer
all for me...

Lookin' for the sun in England
Throw him a lifeline cause he's sinkin'
cuz everybodys got their enemies
and everybody needs a fence to lean on
remember how the hospitals were vacant

Cuz everybody's got their enemies
everybody's got their enemies
everybody's got their enemies
everybody's got their enemies

I am watching, guarding the moments
they are leaving like all of you
you're looking at nothin'
and walking through darkness
Today could be the same for me too

Cuz everybody's got their enemies
everybody's got their enemies
everybody's got their enemies
everybody's got their enemies

I am watching, guarding the moments
they are leaving like all of you
you're looking at nothing
walking through darkness
Today could be the same for me too

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The first part of this song sounds like the aftermath of a break up. The person feels cold maybe because they have nobody to go to and are trying to find comfort somewhere but can't. It may even be about packing your things and moving on in life. I donno but it feels like a mix of starting to grow up and trying to hold on to the past of memories back when you were a kid. This song has mixed emotions, and the beat shows this on every verse. Good song overall.

i think maybe this song is about the 2nd world war. if you read the lyrics, is does seem to make sense.about the concentration camps, and how they completely just destroyed the souls of the people in them. and the enemies "everybody's got their enemies."about the extremity of it for them,the extremity of the attitudes of their enemies.
