Enough
Wanderlust Reflections: Travis Teel's Journey Through Desires
Lyrics
Am I oblivious?
Questioning whether one is unaware or lacking insight.
Or am I a fool?
Considering the possibility of being foolish or naive.
With all I've been given
Reflecting on the abundance of what has been received.
I still want for something new
Expressing a persistent desire for something new despite having much.
But it's not enough
Stating that the current situation or possessions are insufficient.
No it's not enough
Reiterating the inadequacy of the present circumstances.
It's not enough
Emphasizing again that the current state falls short of expectations.
I feel like a wandering man
Feeling like a person aimlessly moving without stability.
Who just can't get his legs beneath him
Describing difficulty in finding a stable foundation.
A troubadour without a song
Characterizing oneself as a traveling musician without a defining purpose.
But worry not, I've got my reasons
Assuring there are reasons behind the unsettled lifestyle.
They're not enough
Acknowledging that the reasons provided are insufficient or not satisfying.
They're not enough
Repeating the idea that the reasons offered are lacking.
They're not enough
Reiterating the insufficiency of the given explanations.
I'm either coming or I'm going
Expressing a constant state of indecision or flux.
Can't seem to stay in one damn place
Describing a struggle to remain in one place for an extended period.
As soon as I'm the main attraction
Noting a tendency to avoid being the center of attention.
I just run the other way
Choosing to retreat when becoming the focal point.
Caught the Sunrise in South St. Louis
Recalling a specific moment of witnessing the sunrise in South St. Louis.
And I beat it down to Santa Fe
Travelling to Santa Fe after the mentioned sunrise event.
Still the only place that I feel welcomed
Expressing a feeling of acceptance or belonging on stage despite being alone.
Is broken, alone up on that stage
Highlighting the stage as the only place where acceptance is felt.
Is that enough?
Posing a question about whether the stage and performance are enough.
Is that enough?
Repeating the question, questioning the adequacy of the current situation.
Is this enough?
Asking if the current state is satisfactory.
Is this enough?
Reiterating the question about the sufficiency of the present condition.
When the sun goes down I'll be leaving
Indicating a departure when the sun sets, possibly referencing leaving after performances.
When it rises I'll be home
Anticipating a return home when the sun rises.
Just hug the girls so they know I love them
Mentioning a gesture of affection toward family before leaving.
But daddy's best out on the road
Acknowledging the necessity of being on the road for the best interest of family.
Cause he's not enough
Stating that the character on the road is insufficient in meeting needs.
No he's not enough
Reiterating the inadequacy of the character's current state.
I'm not enough
Concluding that the self is not enough to fulfill desires or aspirations.
I feel like a wandering man
Reiterating the earlier depiction of being a wandering person without stability.
Who just can't get his legs beneath him
Expressing the ongoing struggle to find stability and purpose.
