Never Enough
Unveiling Life's Loneliness: Del Amitri's 'Never Enough' Reflections
Lyrics
With two hundred people in suits all the same
Observing a crowd of people dressed similarly, suggesting conformity or uniformity.
You walk off that last lonely train.
Exiting the final desolate train, possibly symbolizing a journey or transition.
On the half finished buildings only seagulls remain
Abandoned, incomplete structures with only seagulls present, hinting at desolation and neglect.
As you try to think back to the root of this pain.
Reflecting on the origin of emotional pain.
And life ain't worth living without a little love
Life lacking value without a certain amount of love.
But a little love is never enough.
Expressing that a minimal amount of love is insufficient for a fulfilling life.
So some folks are fighting for freedom but you're just fighting the flab
Contrasting personal struggles with others fighting for broader causes.
And therein lies the reason that life is a drag.
Suggesting that personal issues contribute to a sense of life being burdensome.
So you gaze at the television
Engaging with media, possibly seeking distraction or escape.
As some publicity goons cut loose those useless balloons.
Cynical view of publicity efforts, symbolized by releasing useless balloons.
Down in the darkness of your lying little heart
Referring to the inner emotional struggles and the potential for personal transformation.
There's a space for you to change
Emphasizing the capacity for change within oneself.
So you can take this world apart.
Encouraging the dismantling of one's world for personal growth.
And these days the morning mirror seems to say to you now,
Suggesting a self-assessment in the morning mirror, acknowledging changes over time.
That you used to be pretty but you're alright now.
Balancing the acknowledgment of past beauty with current self-acceptance.
And sometimes you find you're dreaming as you're late for work again
Dreaming while being late for work, indicating a desire for escape or alternative realities.
Thinking there's not many trees you can see from this train.
Noticing a lack of natural beauty during the daily commute.
Life ain't worth living
Reiterating the theme that life requires a certain amount of love.
Without a little love
Highlighting the insufficiency of a small amount of love for a fulfilling life.
But a little love is never enough
Repeating the idea that a little love is never enough.
