Enough Space
Exploring Infinite Desires in Foo Fighters' 'Enough Space'
Lyrics
I was waiting for something
I was anticipating something
Maybe flying machines
Possibly referring to aircraft or imaginative ideas
That's when I found Lily
Encountered a person named Lily
The best I've ever seen
Describing Lily as the best he has ever seen
Put her on the ceiling
Symbolically placing Lily on a pedestal or idealizing her
Try to make her my own
Attempting to claim Lily as his own
People line up to see
Attracting attention, possibly due to Lily's uniqueness
But there never seems to be enough
Despite the attention, there is always a lack of something
Space, space
Repetition of "Space" suggests a theme of emptiness or unfulfilled desires
Space, space
-I was waiting for something
Repetition of the previous stanza, reinforcing the themes
Maybe flying machines
-That's when I found Lily
-The best I've ever seen
-Put her on the ceiling
Continuation of the symbolic action with Lily on the ceiling
Try to make her my own
Persisting in trying to make Lily his own
People line up to see
People are interested in Lily, forming a queue to see her
But there never seems to be enough
Despite the attention, there is a perpetual sense of insufficiency
Space, space
Intensification of the theme of emptiness or lack of fulfillment
Space, space
-Space, space
-Space, space, whoa
-Space, space
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing the persistent feeling of emptiness
Space, space
-Space, space
-Space, space, whoa, whoa
