NEVER ENOUGH LYRICS AND INTERPRETATION
Can’t you hear me screaming, once again?
Voices you can’t hear
Because you are consumed and in contempt
With everlasting greed
Don’t you see me on my hands and knees?
Begging and bleeding
You’re smiling as you bite the hand that feeds
But we’ll never see
Always watching what your eyes can’t see
Feeling what your arms can’t reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can’t hear
Feeling what your arms can’t touch
Thinking you are incomplete
(Enough) it was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you’ve put me through
(Never enough) how can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line!
Sacrificed my life to be with you
Why did you leave me?
There’s nothing more from me you can consume
’cause you are incomplete
Always watching what your eyes can’t see
Feeling what your arms can’t reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can’t hear
Feeling what your arms can’t touch
Thinking you are incomplete
(Enough) it was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you’ve put me through
(Never enough) how can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line!
Everlasting need
Would you please answer me?
And make me complete
Everlasting greed
Would you please set me free?
Fulfill all my needs
And make complete
(Enough) it was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you’ve put me through
(Never enough) how can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line!
Never again will I be with you
No promises are carrying us through
I finally made up my mind this time
This is the end
I’ve drawn the line!
Never enough to devour your greed!
Just by watching the music video, it was quite clear what the song is about. In the music video, Simone’s at a date waiting for her beloved to come. Her beloved took so long to come and it turned out he was having sexual intercourse with another woman. Later Simone finds out why he’s been taken so long when she calls him and he comes but a phone call from the woman he was having sexual intercourse with and Simone dealing with the effect of him cheating on her. Saying how it was “Never enough” all the love she had for him, all she did for him that he still gave her all this pain just because she wasn’t good enough for him. He’s always asking for more and apparently all she gave to him wasn’t enough so he went to seek for it from another woman. Finally, she leaves him saying she’s finished with him and that nothing will help his infinite needs.
Prove me wrong? I’d love to hear your opinions.
