Not Enough
Lost Chances and Burning Sparks: Last Planet's 'Not Enough'
Lyrics
The water sweeps the leaves
The water symbolically clears or sweeps away something represented by the leaves.
Away from my feet
The speaker is distanced or isolated, wondering if a connection has been lost.
Have I lost you?
An explicit question about losing either the person or an aspect of the speaker's identity.
Or have I lost something in me?
A reflection on personal loss, questioning what has been lost within the speaker.
I tend to spread my chips around
The speaker avoids concentrating everything in one place to prevent losing everything at once.
So I don't lose them all at once
A strategy of spreading risks, possibly in relationships or life choices.
But the more you choose to play
The more one engages or takes risks, the more challenges or uncertainties arise.
The more you test your odds
Highlighting the testing nature of making choices and taking risks.
Am I not enough?
The speaker questions their adequacy or sufficiency for someone else.
For you
A direct inquiry about the speaker's worth to the other person.
I am too much
The speaker feels excessive or overwhelming for their own liking.
For me
Expressing a sense of being too much for the speaker's own comfort.
My life has been composed
Life experiences expressed through metaphorical composition or creation.
Of all these keys I press alone
The speaker reflects on solitary moments of creation or action.
Don't know how to feel
Uncertainty about emotions, struggling to understand or define them.
Pressing someone else's notes
Engaging with someone else's experiences or emotions, possibly inauthentic.
Was it just a few words that missed me?
Wondering if a few words or actions have passed the speaker by.
Give me one more chance to breathe
A plea for another chance to rectify or reconcile.
I can't escape, this prison fits me
Feeling trapped, possibly in a difficult situation or relationship.
Locked beneath the sheets
Suggesting confinement or emotional entrapment beneath layers.
Am I not enough?
A repetition of the earlier question about adequacy for someone else.
For you
Reiteration of feeling excessive or overwhelming for personal comfort.
I am too much
Continuing the theme of feeling too much for one's liking.
For me
Reiterating a sense of being overwhelming for the speaker.
I say I can find a spark in anyone
Confidence in finding positive qualities in others but struggling when alone.
But I'm burning low when you're gone
Feeling emotionally drained or low when the significant other is absent.
I can find a spark in anyone
Repeating the ability to find positive aspects in others but desiring to move on.
But I'm burning to move on
Expressing a desire for personal growth or change despite finding sparks in others.
Oh I can find a spark in anyone
Repeating the theme of finding positive qualities but struggling in absence.
But I'm burning low when you're gone
Desiring personal progress despite finding sparks in others.
I can find a spark in anyone
Continuing the struggle of finding sparks in others while aiming to move on.
But I'm burning to move on
Expressing a burning desire to move on despite finding sparks elsewhere.
Am I not enough?
