Never Enough
Dream Ocean Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m tryin' to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can′t let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
Cause darling without you

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me





For me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dream Ocean's song "Never Enough" portray a sense of longing and desire for something more, something that can't quite be reached. The singer is trying to hold onto a moment and make it last forever, not wanting to let go of the dream that has been awakened within them. The dream is getting louder and more powerful, but still, it feels like something is missing. Even with all the shine of a thousand spotlights and the stars stolen from the night sky, it's still not enough. The towers of gold may be impressive, but they're still too little to satisfy the longing inside. Though the singer's hands could hold the world, it too would not be enough. The repeating lines of "never, never, never for me" emphasize the sense of unfulfilled desire that the singer feels.
