Never Enough
D'African Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why are you so drawn to danger?
You know I′m no good for you
But you say I'm like glue to you
I, will only fuck your head up and tell you lies
But you still want me between your thighs
She says I know that you′re bad for me
But it only feels good when it's bad for me
I know I'm already drunk but fuck it I′m drinking again
I know I′m already high but fuck it I hit it again
One shot is never enough, one hit is never enough
Why is it never enough?
Mixing mixing, what is in my cup?
Makes no difference I just want a buzz
I just want to party all the time
All the time
I just want to party all the time
Mixing mixing, what is in my cup?
Makes no difference I just want to feel that buzz
I just want to party all the time
All the time
I just want to party all the time
I know I'm already drunk but fuck it I′m drinking again
I know I'm already high but fuck it I hit it again
One shot is never enough, one hit is never enough
Why is it never enough?
The lyrics of D'African's song "Never Enough" explores the theme of unhealthy attraction and addiction. It tells the story of a man who acknowledges his toxic behavior towards a woman, yet she keeps coming back to him despite knowing he's damaging to her emotionally. The song opens with the line, "Pretty angel in my bed, why are you so drawn to danger?" suggesting that the woman is aware of the danger that he poses but can't seem to resist him. He sings, "I will only fuck your head up and tell you lies, but you still want me between your thighs," indicating that he knows he's lying to her and is only interested in using her sexually. The chorus repeats the phrase, "One shot is never enough, one hit is never enough, why is it never enough?" which can be interpreted as the man's acknowledging his addictive behavior and how he's unable to stop himself from engaging in it.
The lyrics explore themes of addiction, obsession, and the attraction to what is bad. The man is aware of his toxic behavior towards the woman but can't seem to stop it, and the woman can't seem to resist him despite knowing that he's damaging to her emotional well-being. The lyrics suggest that their preferred methods of escape are alcohol and drugs, which they turn to time and again. The "mixing" in the song refers to alcoholic drinks and the desire to feel the buzz that they provide.
