Never Enough
Chasing Unattainable Dreams: Shannon Curfman's 'Never Enough' Meaning
Lyrics
Never enough
Expressing a sense of insufficiency or inadequacy.
I've seen the people
Observing others in the community.
As they walk down the street
Noticing people walking down the street.
Smiling and looking so free
Noting their happy and carefree appearances.
As I stand on the corner
Personally experiencing sadness while watching.
With a tear in my eye
Having a tear in the eye, indicating emotional pain.
Wondering how it would be
Contemplating the hypothetical life of happiness.
If I'd never asked for what I could not have
Reflecting on past decisions and desires.
Always living for things out of reach
Living with unattainable goals and ambitions.
Never enough
Reiterating the feeling of inadequacy.
Forever unsatisfied
Expressing a perpetual dissatisfaction.
Missing a piece of my soul
Feeling incomplete or lacking in one's essence.
Never enough
Repeating the theme of insufficiency.
Forever unanswered
Highlighting perpetual unanswered aspects of life.
Like a prayer that never gets told
Comparing to a prayer that goes unheard.
Fall away troubles, dreams and desires
Expressing a desire to escape troubles and dreams.
And let me escape from myself
Seeking liberation from self-imposed constraints.
If I'd never asked for what I could not have
Reflecting on the consequences of unfulfilled desires.
I could live just like everyone else
Imagining a life conforming to societal norms.
Never enough
Reiterating the perpetual feeling of inadequacy.
Forever unsatisfied
Expressing an ongoing dissatisfaction.
Missing a piece of my soul
Feeling a persistent void in one's essential being.
Never enough
Reiterating the theme of perpetual unanswered aspects.
Forever unanswered
Comparing to a prayer that remains unheard.
Like a prayer that never gets told
Emphasizing the enduring sense of insufficiency.
Fall away troubles, dreams and desires
Desiring freedom from troubles, dreams, and desires.
And let me escape from myself
Seeking an escape from one's own self.
