Good Enough
Fatal Flowers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should hear, hear the things they say
'Cause they're not the same as when they knock on your door at night
On the way back from an unsuccesful night in town
They remember that you're around
And that you like anything better than bein' lonely
They'll talk about love, say that it's allright
But tomorrow girl won't be like tonight
Walkin' out when daylight brakes
And you listen to the stories he fakes
And he sure's gone give you a call one of these days
And one of these days you'll meet him again
And he'll be walkin' hand in hand
But it won't be you who's walking by his side
They'll talk about love, say that it's allright
But tomorrow girl won't be like tonight
'Cause tommorow they'll talk about you
Say you're nothing but a filthy whore
The lyrics of Fatal Flowers's song Good Enough touch upon the theme of loneliness and heartbreak. The song describes the moment when someone walks away and the things that people say behind their back, things that they wouldn't dare to say to them directly. The lyrics suggest that people's behavior is often contradictory and unpredictable. The same people who knock on your door at night, looking for companionship, will talk behind your back and call you names the next day.
The song also explores the idea of false promises and fake stories. The singer of the song listens to the stories of a man who promises to stay in touch, but deep down she knows that he is just faking it. The lyrics suggest that this man is not truly interested in her and that he will soon be walking hand in hand with someone else.
The song offers a poignant and cynical perspective on human relationships, highlighting the disconnect between people's words and actions. The song suggests that people are often afraid to be alone and will use each other for comfort, even if that means talking behind their backs and making false promises. Ultimately, the song suggests that love is fleeting and that tomorrow is never like tonight.
Line by Line Meaning
The moment that you walk away
As soon as you're out of sight and earshot
You should hear, hear the things they say
You'd be surprised at the negative comments people make
'Cause they're not the same as when they knock on your door at night
They act differently when they're trying to impress you; they're fake
On the way back from an unsuccessful night in town
After striking out with the ladies in the city
They remember that you're around
They suddenly remember your existence, but only as a last resort
And that you like anything better than bein' lonely
They assume you'll do anything to avoid being alone
They'll talk about love, say that it's all right
They'll act like love is a good thing, even though they don't truly believe it
But tomorrow girl won't be like tonight
Their feelings towards you are temporary and subject to change
Walkin' out when daylight brakes
Leaving as soon as the sun comes up
And you listen to the stories he fakes
You fall for his lies and tall tales
And he sure's gone give you a call one of these days
He'll only contact you when it's convenient for him
And one of these days you'll meet him again
You'll run into him randomly at some point
And he'll be walking' hand in hand
He'll be with someone else and blatantly showing off his new relationship
But it won't be you who's walking by his side
You're not the one he wants to be seen with
They'll talk about love, say that it's all right
They'll continue to pretend that love is something important
But tomorrow girl won't be like tonight
Their words are dishonest and meaningless
'Cause tomorrow they'll talk about you
They'll gossip about you behind your back
Say you're nothing but a filthy whore
They'll try to shame you and degrade you for their own amusement
