Never Enough
Epica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Voices you can't hear
Because you are consumed and in content
With everlasting greed
Don't you see me on my hands and knees?
Begging and bleeding
You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
Feeling what your arms can't reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
Feeling what your arms can't touch
Thinking you are incomplete
It was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
But I cannot make up my mind this time
This is where I will draw the line
Sacrifice my life to be with you
Why did you leave me?
There's nothing more from me you can consume
'Cause you're incomplete
Always wanting what your eyes can't see
Feeling what your arms can't reach
Thinking you are in need
Always hearing what your ears can't hear
Feeling what your arms can't touch
Thinking you are incomplete
It was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Everlasting greed
Would you please answer me?
And make me complete
Everlasting greed
Would you please set me free?
Fulfill all my needs
And make me complete
It was never enough that I gave to you
All of the horror that you've put me through
How can I make up my mind this time?
This is where I will draw the line
Never again will I be with you
Not promise
I finally made up my mind this time
This is the end
I've drawn the line
Never enough to devour your greed
The song Never Enough by Epica is a powerful piece about the feeling of not being enough for someone consumed by greed. The lyrics express the pain of being constantly ignored, overlooked and unappreciated. The lines "Can't you hear me screaming once again? Voices you can't hear, Because you are consumed and in content With everlasting greed" signifies the singer's plea for attention which isn't being met. The singer is kneeling down, begging for attention and acknowledgement, "Don't you see me on my hands and knees? Begging and bleeding, You're smiling as you bite the hand that feeds, But we're not foreseen." Despite all efforts, the singer is not being appreciated and is being taken for granted.
The chorus reveals the singer's feelings of incompleteness and inadequacy. They see themselves as not being enough for the individual in question. The lines "Always wanting what your eyes can't see, Feeling what your arms can't reach, Thinking you are in need, Always hearing what your ears can't hear, Feeling what your arms can't touch, Thinking you are incomplete" portray the sense of inadequacy and inability to meet expectations.
The song escalates in intensity after the chorus as the singer starts realizing that they have given too much to someone who does not appreciate it. The lines "It was never enough that I gave to you, All of the horror that you've put me through. But I cannot make up my mind this time. This is where I will draw the line" express the disappointment with the relationship and the decision to end it.
The song ends with the singer's bold declaration of not being with this person anymore. The lines "Never again will I be with you, Not promise, I finally made up my mind this time, This is the end, I've drawn the line" signify the singer's decision to escape from the cycle of abuse and neglect.

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS, Never Enough is my favorite song from Epica and I always hated the low quality music video, I'm completely accomplished today
@cancelled_user
This HQ remaster has been available for at least a year, if you searched for it earlier. 🙂 Basically all old Epica official videos are now available in HD/4K.

I too think that it is one of their best songs.
@KoTerrors
Love seeing this remastered. Simone has a beautiful voice, and was my music crush (still is) back then.
@Danmarinja
I love how Epica is famous for their ultra high-concept philosophical concept albums, and can also just casually drop a song about breaking up with a cheating ex and nobody notices any difference.
@emersonjohnny4649
I love this song 🤩
