Never Enough
Endless Craving: A Love Unquenched in Adrian Belew's 'Never Enough'
Lyrics
Hold me down
Expresses a desire to be restrained or grounded.
I'm a wounded man
Conveys a sense of emotional pain or vulnerability.
Give me all your love
Requests complete emotional commitment from the other person.
Give me everything
Asks for total dedication and all-encompassing support.
Breathe me in
Suggests a desire to be deeply connected, like merging with the sky.
Like a piece of sky
Metaphorically compares the speaker to a piece of the sky.
On a bed of flowers
Imagery of a beautiful and serene setting for intimacy.
On the longest night,
Refers to a prolonged period of time, possibly metaphorical.
It's never enough
Despite previous requests, the emotional fulfillment is still insufficient.
Come and kiss me again and again
Encourages repeated acts of affection, seeking reassurance.
I won't stop until you tell me when,
Expresses determination to continue until the partner signals to stop.
It's never enough
Reiterates the insufficiency of the current emotional state.
Quiet me
Requests tranquility in the midst of intense emotions or situations.
In the burning heat
Describes a challenging or passionate circumstance.
I'm a thirsty man
Characterizes the speaker as longing for fulfillment.
Give me all you have
Demands the entirety of the partner's emotional offering.
Whisper to me
Asks for complete transparency and sharing of thoughts.
Tell me everything
Requests comprehensive communication from the partner.
Come and pour my wine
Symbolizes a moment of shared pleasure through wine.
Just one more time,
Expresses a desire for repeated enjoyable experiences.
It's never enough
Highlights the persistent feeling of inadequacy in emotional fulfillment.
Come and kiss me and hold my hand
Encourages affection and physical closeness.
I want to love you again and again,
Expresses a desire for continual expressions of love.
It's never enough
Reiterates the ongoing dissatisfaction with the current emotional state.
Give me love, give me all your love
Repeats the plea for complete and overwhelming love.
Give me everything, cause it's never enough
Restates the desire for everything, emphasizing the insufficiency of current emotions.
