Never Enough
Dammit Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the doubting and deflation
Twisted words and pretty lies
Feel like they're wasting my time
I need answers to my questions
Or the cancer only festers
Consuming all my thoughts until
Waiting and debating
Should I be the one that's saying
I'm the only one that's hurting
You abandoned my heart
Ignoring all my pleading
See me cut open and bleeding
But there's no one left to save me
From the loss of your love
Why is my love never enough?
Why would you hurt me so?
I never gave anything but love
Why is it never enough?
Lust so hot it lit the sky but you burned me with your flame
The flame has lost its luminance but the skin peels just the same
Precious angel came to me with love and soft embrace
But she took her love from me now I'm stranded in this place
Conversations in my brain
Will swirl around till I'm insane
Creating answers to my questions
Even if they're all wrong
I am barely sleeping
Don't exist but heart is beating
Grieving all the little things
I haven't heard in so long
Now I have discovered
That there is another lover
wasn't real, was merely Acting
While I begged to not be shut out
Lying just to to save my feelings
Now I'm absolutely reeling
Precious angel was a lie
All the happiness is gone
Why is my love never enough?
Why would you hurt me so?
I never gave anything but love
Why is my love never enough?
Lust so hot it lit the sky but you burned me with your flame
The flame has lost its luminance but the skin peels just the same
Precious angel came to me with love and soft embrace
But her love was never real now I'm stranded in this place
In "Never Enough" by Dammit Jackson, the lyrics delve into the feelings of frustration, betrayal, and heartbreak experienced within a relationship. The opening lines capture a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction, emphasizing the negative impact of deceptive words and false promises. The singer yearns for answers to their questions, afraid that without resolution, their emotions will continue to fester like a cancer, consuming their thoughts and bringing them to the brink of mental anguish.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses their anguish over feeling abandoned and ignored by their partner. They describe themselves as pleading, bleeding, and in need of someone to save them from the loss of love. The repeated question, "Why is my love never enough?" reflects their confusion and inability to comprehend why they are continuously hurt despite giving nothing but love in return.
The second verse introduces the metaphor of fire and burning, portraying the intense desire and passion that once existed in their relationship. However, it is revealed that the flame has lost its brightness, yet the pain and damage inflicted remain constant. The mention of a "precious angel" reinforces the betrayal felt by the singer, as they were initially embraced with love, only to discover that it was all a lie. The loss of happiness is palpable, leaving them stranded in a desolate emotional state.
Overall, "Never Enough" delves into themes of deceit, unrequited love, and feeling inadequate in a relationship. It explores the longing for answers, the devastation of being betrayed, and the struggle to make sense of a love that seems to consistently fall short.

It's the vibration and impatience
The constant restlessness and eagerness
All the doubting and deflation
Feeling uncertain and disappointed
Twisted words and pretty lies
Deceptive and manipulative language
Feel like they're wasting my time
I believe they are causing me to lose valuable time
I need answers to my questions
I require explanations for my inquiries
Or the cancer only festers
Otherwise, the pain and suffering intensifies
Consuming all my thoughts until
Taking over my mind completely
It's raping my mind
It's violating and tormenting my thoughts
Waiting and debating
Contemplating and hesitating
Should I be the one that's saying
Am I the one who should speak up?
I'm the only one that's hurting
I am the sole individual experiencing pain
You abandoned my heart
You left my heart behind
Ignoring all my pleading
Disregarding my desperate pleas
See me cut open and bleeding
Witness me wounded and bleeding
But there's no one left to save me
However, there is no one remaining to rescue me
From the loss of your love
From the absence of your affection
Why is my love never enough?
Why is the love I offer insufficient?
Why would you hurt me so?
Why do you intentionally cause me pain?
I never gave anything but love
I only ever provided love
Why is it never enough?
Why does it always fall short?
Lust so hot it lit the sky but you burned me with your flame
Passion so intense it illuminated everything, yet you hurt me with its intensity
The flame has lost its luminance but the skin peels just the same
The passion has dimmed, but the pain remains unchanged
Precious angel came to me with love and soft embrace
Someone special arrived, embracing me with affection and tenderness
But she took her love from me now I'm stranded in this place
However, she withdrew her love, leaving me feeling lost and stuck
Conversations in my brain
Thoughts and discussions within my mind
Will swirl around till I'm insane
Will continue to circulate until I become mentally unstable
Creating answers to my questions
Formulating responses to my inquiries
Even if they're all wrong
Even if they are all incorrect
I am barely sleeping
I can hardly get any sleep
Don't exist but heart is beating
I feel as though I don't exist, yet my heart still beats
Grieving all the little things
Mourning the small details
I haven't heard in so long
That I haven't heard in a considerable amount of time
Now I have discovered
Now I have come to realize
That there is another lover
That there is someone else they love
Wasn't real, was merely Acting
It wasn't genuine, it was just pretending
While I begged to not be shut out
While I pleaded not to be excluded
Lying just to save my feelings
Telling lies only to spare my emotions
Now I'm absolutely reeling
Now I am completely shocked and disoriented
Precious angel was a lie
The person I held dear was a falsehood
All the happiness is gone
All the joy and contentment have vanished
