Not Enough
In the Wealth of Questions: Kinnie Starr's 'Not Enough'
Lyrics
I got twenty dollars in my pocket
I have twenty dollars in my pocket
Why does that seem like not enough?
Questioning why this amount feels insufficient
Why does that seem like not enough?
Repeating the feeling of inadequacy
Why?
Seeking an understanding of the dissatisfaction
Six hundred dollars in my wallet
I have six hundred dollars in my wallet
Why does that seem like not enough?
Questioning why this larger amount still feels inadequate
Why does that seem like not enough?
Reiterating the sense of insufficiency
Why?
Continuing to seek an explanation for the dissatisfaction
A hundred-thousand dollars in my bank account
I have a hundred-thousand dollars in my bank account
Why does that seem like not enough?
Questioning why this substantial amount doesn't feel like enough
Why does that seem like not enough?
Repeating the theme of feeling unsatisfied despite wealth
Why?
Continuing to seek an understanding of the dissatisfaction
Why is everything, why is everything not enough?
Pondering why everything in life feels insufficient
Why is everything, why is everything just too much
Questioning why everything seems overwhelming
Why is everything, why, why is everything, why
Repeating the inquiry into the insufficiency of everything
Why is everything, why is everything just too much
Reiterating the feeling that everything is too much
Another couple breaks up over infidelity
Observing another relationship ending due to infidelity
Maybe loving is just too much
Suggesting that perhaps love is too challenging
Maybe loving is not enough
Considering the possibility that love alone is not sufficient
Maybe
Expressing uncertainty or contemplation
And a baby is born to a family
A new baby is born into a family
Hope the world won't be too much
Hoping that the world won't be overwhelming for the newborn
Hope the world will be good enough
Expressing a desire for the world to be good enough for the baby
I hope
Expressing hope for a positive future
Another cousin joins the Earth's slow spin
Another cousin is born, reflecting on the slow pace of life
Maybe the world was too much for him
Suggesting that the world might have been too much for the cousin
Maybe the world was not enough for him
Considering the possibility that the world was not enough for the cousin
Maybe
Expressing uncertainty or contemplation
Maybe everything, maybe everything's just too much
Contemplating whether everything in life is too overwhelming
Maybe everything, maybe everything's not enough?
Pondering if everything in life is insufficient
Maybe everything, maybe, maybe everything, maybe
Repeating the contemplation of everything's adequacy
Maybe everything, maybe everything's just too much
Reiterating the feeling that everything is too much
Maybe it's not enough and it's just too much
Considering the possibility that what one has is not enough and is overwhelming
And it's not enough
Stating that it's not enough
Maybe everything, maybe, maybe everything, maybe
Repeating the contemplation of everything's adequacy
Maybe everything, maybe everything's just too much
Reiterating the feeling that everything is too much
Maybe it's not enough
Suggesting that even if there is something, it might still not be enough
