Not Enough
Love's Not Measured in Words: Elvis Drew's Quest for Worth
Lyrics
How you play by the rules?
Questioning conformity to societal rules.
The rules are made by fools
Suggesting that rules are often irrational or misguided.
Ignition start
Starting the engine, possibly metaphorical for initiating change.
Let me drive
Expressing a desire to take control and lead.
Let's ride to a place
Proposing a journey to a hidden or undisclosed place.
Where everybody hides
Describing a location where people conceal their true selves.
Why you still complain?
Questioning continued dissatisfaction despite efforts.
I gave even my brain
Claiming to have given everything, including intellectual efforts.
Isn't it enough?
Pleading if the given efforts are not sufficient.
Why you don't love?
Asking why love is lacking in return.
How could you put
Questioning the elevation of someone else over the speaker.
Someone above?
Expressing a sense of inadequacy compared to someone else.
Am I not enough?
Reiterating a plea for acceptance and recognition.
You told your mama
Informing someone about feeling unwell, possibly metaphorical.
That you don't feel good
Highlighting a discrepancy between stated feelings and reality.
But we both know
Acknowledging a mutual understanding of the deception.
That it's not the truth
Confirming that the stated illness is not genuine.
You make your stories
Accusing the person of weaving false narratives.
Your lies I can't stand
Expressing frustration with the lies told by the person.
I left you to have
Explaining a decision to leave to create regret in the person.
Something to regret
Indicating a purpose behind leaving.
Why you still complain?
Repeating the question about dissatisfaction despite efforts.
I gave even my brain
Reaffirming the extent of sacrifices made, including intellectual.
Isn't it enough?
Echoing the earlier plea for acknowledgment of efforts.
Why you don't love?
Reiterating the query about the absence of reciprocal love.
How could you put
Questioning the prioritization of someone else over the speaker.
Someone above?
Expressing insecurity and inadequacy in comparison to another.
Am I not enough?
Repeating the plea for acceptance and validation.
