Enough
Bad Sounds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ask the Pope
Yeah, I bet he's got tonnes of hope
But it's cool, man's got issues
Pass the tissues and go...

(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)

Settle me down
Turn that frown upside down
Turn around, tell me you're proud of the issues
Pass the tissues and go...

(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)

I better not [?] them over
'Cause I ain't without a doubt
My stomach's heading south
And I still feel mad about it

(Get up, they can't do this)
(Get up)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)

(Get up) Oooh (They can't do this)
(Get up)

Overall Meaning

The song "Enough" by Bad Sounds seems to be talking about personal struggles and the need to keep going despite them. The line "Ask the Pope, Yeah, I bet he's got tonnes of hope," can be interpreted as looking up to religious figures for guidance when life is tough. However, the following line "But it's cool, man's got issues, Pass the tissues and go..." shows that the singer is acknowledging that everyone has their own issues to deal with. The chorus repeats the phrase "Get up, they can't do this" which could be interpreted as a personal mantra to keep moving forward and not letting obstacles hold one back.

The second verse talks about the need for someone to settle the singer down and turn their frown upside down. The line "Tell me you're proud of the issues" shows a positive outlook on even our negative experiences, as they can shape and teach us valuable lessons. The repetition of "Get up, they can't do this" reinforces the idea of being resilient in the face of adversity.

The bridge has a slightly more aggressive tone, with the singer stating they "better not [?] them over" and expressing frustration and anger. However, the continuous repetition of "Get up, they can't do this" seems to be a way for the singer to regain control and keep pushing forward despite the negative emotions they're feeling.

Overall, "Enough" sends a message of perseverance and resilience in the face of obstacles. While acknowledging that everyone has their own issues and struggles, the song encourages the listener to keep pushing forward and not let setbacks hold them back.

Ask the pope
Yeah I bet he's got tonnes of hope
It's cool, mum's got issues
Pass the tissues and go

Enough

My stomach's heading south
And I still feel mad about it
