Good Enough
Fragments of Despair: Unraveling the Emotion Behind 'Good Enough'
Lyrics
Turn it up, turn it up!
Expression urging to increase the volume or intensity of something.
Eyes are getting lost in blurry shadings,
Describing a state of confusion or uncertainty in vision.
Lights are slowly fading.
Indicating a gradual decrease in lights, setting a mood.
Turn it up, turn it up!
Reiteration of the desire for increased intensity.
I want some more!
Expressing a desire for more of something.
I drink another shot, another shot!
Consuming another alcoholic drink.
Eyes are getting heavy like my breathing,
Feeling the effects of alcohol with heavy eyes and relaxed breathing.
Grit is slowly leaving.
Describing the easing of tension or stress.
Turn it up, turn it up!
Repeat of the call to increase intensity.
Just gimme more!
Repeatedly requesting more of something.
Just gimme more!
-Just gimme more!
-I'm falling like a house of cards.
Metaphorical description of emotional vulnerability and heartbreak.
Everything feels broken, all my scars are opened
-You tear my heart apart.
-All the time you decline good memories
Expressing feelings of inadequacy and not being good enough.
Good enough, good enough.
-I'm still not good enough, good enough.
-And even if I try so hard,
Struggling despite efforts, defense not sufficient.
In the end my defense's not good enough.
-I'm getting lost, getting lost.
Feeling lost and stuck in a repetitive, unproductive cycle.
While we're going round and round in circles
-I swim below the surface.
-Turn it up, turn it up.
Reiterating the need for increased intensity or stimulation.
I still need more.
-I am like an injured bird that never sees the sky.
Comparing oneself to an injured bird, unable to recover and move forward.
Can't repair my broken wings and never learn to fly.
-I am caught, I am caught
-Down on the floor.
-Just gimme more!
Repeating the request for more.
Just gimme more!
-I'm falling like a house of cards.
Continuation of the metaphorical falling, brokenness, and heartache.
Everything feels broken, all my scars are opened
-You tear my heart apart.
-All the time you decline good memories
Reinforcing the theme of inadequacy despite earnest efforts.
Good enough, good enough.
-I'm still not good enough, good enough.
-And even if I try so hard,
-In the end my defense's not good enough.
-Oh it's coming closer.
Introducing a sense of impending negativity or challenge, possibly related to substance use.
The same shit day by day.
-Out of nowhere
-My MDMA.
-I'm falling like a house of cards.
Reiteration of emotional turmoil and heartbreak.
Everything feels broken, all my scars are opened
-You tear my heart apart.
-All the time you decline good memories
Persistently not feeling good enough despite sincere attempts.
Good enough, good enough.
-I'm still not good enough, good enough.
-And even if I try so hard,
-In the end my defense's not good enough.
