The group's first album, the self-titled Dirty Vegas, contained a mix of electronic/club instrumentals and similar tracks with vocals by Steve Smith. This album was influenced by The Crystal Method and The Chemical Brothers, but with a slightly more laid-back approach. Songs like Throwing Shapes or The Brazilian would sound at home on an album by either of these two contemporaries.
Their second studio album, One, moved away from club music, and featured a style reminiscent of an adult contemporary album; none of the tracks went on to become hits. Some fans were put off by the drastic departure from their first album, while other fans welcomed the change.
The band reports that their third studio outting should strike a balance between the two, leaning toward the club style again.
Never Enough
Dirty Vegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my feet don't touch the ground
I look out
To the mess that's all around
And now I'm bruised from
All this confusion
Don't even think about it
We been waiting for this moment far too long
Let's keep it simple cause it's only love
I think we both know what we're doing here
Our true intentions ain't exactly clear
Let's keep it simple yeah
'Cause everything everything everything is never enough
I went down
To a friend I used to know
She said how
Comes your so cynical
When free from
This illusion
Don't even think about it
I think I know just where you're coming from
We been waiting for this moment far too long
Let's keep it simple cause it's only love
I think we both know what we're doing here
Our true intentions ain't exactly clear
Let's keep it simple yeah
'Cause everything everything everything is never enough
Is never enough, is never enough, is never enough
And I just can't seem to help myself
I'm a fool to believe there was no one else
And I just can't seem to help myself
Yeah cause everything, everything, everything is never enough
And I just can't seem to help myself (is never enough)
I'm a fool to believe there was no one else (is never enough)
And I just can't seem to help myself (is never enough)
Yeah cause everything, everything, everything is never enough,
Is never enough, is never enough
The lyrics of Never Enough by Dirty Vegas paint the picture of an individual who wakes up and feels lost in a messy environment. The person is bruised from all the confusion that surrounds them. They seek clarity and turn to a friend, who points out that they are cynical. The person realizes that they are trapped in an illusion and that everything is never enough.
The lyrics touch upon the theme of dissatisfaction and disillusionment. The person is looking for something that they cannot seem to find, and they keep wanting more. They find themselves in a cycle that never seems to end. The person is aware that they are not being honest about their intentions, but they keep moving forward in the hope that they will eventually attain what they desire. The song suggests that sometimes, it is better to keep things simple and enjoy what we have, rather than seeking endlessly for something that may never be enough.

I wake up
I start my day
And my feet don't touch the ground
I feel weightless, like I'm not grounded in reality
I look out
I observe my surroundings
To the mess that's all around

And now I'm bruised from
And now I feel hurt by
All this confusion
All the chaos and disorder around me is causing me confusion
Don't even think about it
Don't even consider it

I went down
I visited
To a friend I used to know
To an acquaintance from my past
She said how
She asked me how
Comes your so cynical
Why are you so doubtful and distrustful
When free from
When liberated from
This illusion
This false perception of reality
Is never enough, is never enough, is never enough
We always want more than what we have
And I just can't seem to help myself
I can't resist the urge to act a certain way
I'm a fool to believe there was no one else
I'm foolish to have thought there were no other options
Yeah cause everything, everything, everything is never enough
Everything we have is not enough to fulfill us
Is never enough, is never enough
We always want more
