I've Had Enough
Rising Above the Noise: Earth, Wind & Fire's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
Getting down, there's a party in motion
Expressing excitement about a party that is currently happening.
Everybody's on the scene
Everyone is present and actively participating in the event.
And I can hear the sound, like the roar of the ocean
The sound of the party is compared to the roaring of the ocean.
As it rushes to the stream
Describing the energetic flow of the party, akin to water rushing to a stream.
Live it up, don't ya hear people screaming
Encouraging people to enjoy life, with the background noise of people expressing themselves.
Gotta do it all their way
Highlighting the importance of doing things one's own way.
Until they burn it up and the lights nowhere gleaming
Continuing until everything is used up, with no remaining signs of celebration.
What a price you have to pay
Emphasizing the significant cost or consequences associated with the chosen lifestyle.
Why do we feel whe have to feed the fire
Pondering the reasons behind the compulsion to intensify the excitement or passion.
We're only caught up in our desire, ooh
Acknowledging being entangled in one's own desires.
I've had enough, it's just too tough
Expressing a sense of being overwhelmed and unable to continue.
To keep it up, so I am calling out to you
Calling out for assistance or support to uplift the situation.
To lift us up, the world is rough
Describing the harshness of the world and the exhaustion felt.
I am so tired and I've had enough
Stating the speaker's fatigue and dissatisfaction.
Spinning' round in perpetual motion
Describing a continuous cycle or routine without a clear endpoint.
Like a crystal ball of dreams
Comparing life's experiences to a crystal ball full of dreams.
And moving in the crowd, there's a hint of a notion
Noting the difficulty of standing out in a crowd and being noticed.
That you never will be seen
Suggesting that visibility or recognition may be elusive.
Slow it down, feel some emotion
Advising to slow down and experience genuine emotions.
'Cause there's nothing in between
Highlighting the absence of superficial barriers or distractions.
Reaching that higher ground, but your faith and devotion
Striving for a higher purpose with unwavering faith and dedication.
To be on the winning team
Expressing the desire to be part of a successful or triumphant group.
Why do we feel we have to feed the fire
Reiterating the question about the compulsion to intensify desires.
We're only caught up in our own desire, ooh
Acknowledging being entangled in one's own desires (repeated theme).
I've had enough, it's just too tough
Repeating the sense of being overwhelmed and unable to continue.
To keep it up, so I am calling out to you
Reiterating the call for assistance or support (repeated theme).
To lift us up, the world is rough
Restating the harshness of the world and the exhaustion felt (repeated theme).
I am so tired and I've had enough
Reaffirming the speaker's fatigue and dissatisfaction (repeated theme).
