I'm Not Satisfied
Unfulfilled Desires: Fine Young Cannibals' Anthem
Lyrics
It's hard, can't afford to stop
Expressing the difficulty and the inability to afford a break or pause in life.
Keep on working, till you're fit to drop
Encouraging continuous effort and work until exhaustion.
Then comes the weekend and my troubles go away
Finding relief from troubles during the weekend.
Monday morning brings them back again
Highlighting the recurrence of troubles on Monday mornings.
No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Expressing dissatisfaction emphatically.
Can't there be, more to life
Pondering if there is more to life than the current struggles and dissatisfaction.
I can't see, reasons why
Expressing a lack of clarity on the reasons for dissatisfaction.
Going steady, have been a while
Indicating a commitment to a relationship for a considerable duration.
Ain't ready, not by a mile
Not feeling ready or prepared for a significant commitment.
I try to tell her that I'm not he marrying kind
Communicating an aversion to the idea of marriage.
She tells me she's gonna change my mind
Receiving assurance or promises from someone that they can change one's perspective.
No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Reiterating strong dissatisfaction.
Can't there be, more to life
Questioning the possibility of more fulfillment in life.
I can't see, reasons why
Expressing a lack of understanding regarding the reasons for dissatisfaction.
I want a place to go
Desiring a place to escape to.
I could go, leave these streets alone
Expressing a wish to leave the current difficult situation behind.
Everywhere you go now is just misery
Observing a pervasive sense of misery everywhere one goes.
There's no hope living in this city
Conveying a lack of hope in the current living environment, likely a city.
No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Reaffirming strong dissatisfaction.
Can't there be, more to life
Repeating the questioning of the potential for more fulfillment in life.
I can't see, reasons why
Restating the lack of understanding regarding the reasons for dissatisfaction.
