Plenty
Echoes of Regret: Unraveling the Emotional Storm in Gabrielle Current's 'Plenty'
Lyrics
Did you get what you need
Questioning if the person obtained what they desired
Was I not enough
Expressing self-doubt about being sufficient for the person
Stayed ‘til you had plenty
Stayed in the relationship until the person had their fill
Was that too much
Wondering if staying was too much or overwhelming
Did you feel so empty
Asking if the person felt empty despite efforts
Enough to come around
Asking if the emptiness led them to come back
Guess you got what you need
Acknowledging that the person now has what they wanted
Are you happy now
Questioning if the person is happy after getting what they needed
Listen to me when I say I swear I tried
Asserting the effort made in the relationship
We went the way we should but you changed your mind
Noting that the relationship took the expected course but the person changed their mind
I know we couldn’t always see eye to eye
Acknowledging differences but emphasizing the attempt to understand each other
But that doesn’t make it right
Stating that differences don't justify wrong actions
I’d rather be alone
Expressing a preference for solitude
I’d rather be on my own
Reiterating the preference for being alone
I’d rather be
Emphasizing the desire for independence
What sweet nothings you sung
Questioning the sincerity of sweet words spoken
I’d rather be on my own
Reiterating the preference for solitude
I’d rather be
Emphasizing the desire for independence
I’d rather be
Repetition for emphasis
And I wonder wonder wonder
Expressing curiosity or doubt about the relationship
If we overdid it
Questioning if the relationship went too far
Thunder thunder thunder
Using thunder as a metaphor for conflict or arguments
Hits and you regret it
Suggesting that consequences or regrets follow conflicts
Lightning hits you center
Using lightning as a metaphor for impactful events in the relationship
