Whether its a loud-rocking anthem or a sensitive ballad, these young men make sure each song incorporates textured melodies, progressive grooves, and a universal meaning. Powerful vocals, innovative guitar riffs, and an over-the-top rhythm section have created songs that have already influenced hundreds of thousands of die-hard fans worldwide.

The song "Question Everything" was included as a demo for the new digital speakers included with the Apple PowerMac G4 Cube. Their singles and videos continue to receive airplay to this day and album sales remain steady in their corner markets throughout the South and Midwest. Radio station representatives from New York to Los Angeles have supported 8 STOPS 7 with great fervor and are anticipating the follow-up to In Moderation, much of which has already been tracked.

Good Enough
8stops7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't want to know
But that won't stop me from showing

For nights I drank too much
And words exchanged in the morning
For always pushing my luck
Expecting you to keep waiting

I want to be faithful
But as far as I can tell
I'm not doing so well...thus far
But maybe tomorrow
You'll wake up to find out
If I'm not good enough for now
I'm good enough to wait for you

What have you been told
What are you so afraid of
Should I be so bold
And ask where that one came from

Can I be read my rights

Before you put me on trial
My past offense precedes my name

Line by Line Meaning

You don't want to know
You might not be interested in knowing what's going on with me, but I'm still going to express it.

But that won't stop me from showing
I'll still exhibit my emotional pain even if you don't want to witness it.

For nights I drank too much
There were times when I indulged in excessive drinking.

And words exchanged in the morning
We had unpleasant conversations when we woke up the next day.

For always pushing my luck
I was taking you for granted too often.

Expecting you to keep waiting
I anticipated you to be patiently waiting for me.

I want to be faithful
I aspire to remain loyal to you.

But as far as I can tell
From what I can understand about myself.

I'm not doing so well...thus far
I'm not performing well in my quest to be faithful.

But maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow is the day everything will turn around.

You'll wake up to find out
You'll awaken and perceive the change in my behaviors.

If I'm not good enough for now
If I'm not deemed acceptable presently.

I'm good enough to wait for you
I am still willing to hold out for you.

What have you been told
What information were you given about me?

What are you so afraid of
What is this anxiety that's bothering you?

Should I be so bold
Is it too presumptuous of me to ask.

And ask where that one came from
And request an explanation about that one thing that's disturbing you.

Can I be read my rights
Can I be made aware of my lawful entitlements.

Before you put me on trial
Before I'm held accountable for my actions.

My past offense precedes my name
My prior misdeeds are associated with my identity.
