Never Enough
Loren Allred Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause darling, without you
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
For me
The song "Never Enough" is a powerful ballad sung by Loren Allred for the movie The Greatest Showman. The song encapsulates the feeling of never being satisfied with all the wealth and glory in the world when the person you love is not with you. The song sets a mood of a restless heart, trying to hold their breath, hoping to keep the moment from fading away. The singer's voice echoes the feeling of vibrant energy, which grows with the sound of the music. The lyricist uses metaphors to describe the scale of their love, which no matter how grand it is, it will never be enough.
The chorus "All the shine of a thousand spotlights" implies stardom and greatness, and "towers of gold" refer to wealth and material prosperity. However, the scale of love the character has will remain insatiable, and they couldn't be content with all the wealth and fame if they don't have their lover with them. The song is powerful in its meaning and evokes emotions that dwell deep within people's hearts. It is an excellent portrayal of the feeling of emptiness that one might experience when they don't have their loved ones with them, even if they have everything else.
