Too Much Is Never Enough
Florence the Machine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't say I need more time
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life

Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough

Oh, you wondrous creature
Coming up who we are
'Cause I'm retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss

And who decides from where up high (one other year, a hundred flags flying in a field)
I couldn't say I need more time (one day, felt it let go of me)
Oh, grant that I can stay the night (one other year, a hundred flags flying in a field)
Or one more day inside this life (one day, felt it let go of me)

Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough

And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what, maybe Luna had it right
And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
So what, 'least I have the strength to fight

Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough

One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
A hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me

One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me

Overall Meaning

The song Too Much Is Never Enough by Florence + the Machine reflects on the feelings of a person who is overwhelmed by their own success or fame. The first verse describes how the crown, which symbolizes success or fame, weighs heavy on the person's head till it's banging on their eyelids, making it difficult to sleep or relax. They find solace in retreating under covers and closing curtains, perhaps to have some alone time away from the public eye. The chorus repeats the phrase "too much" as a reference to the overwhelming effect of success, and the phrase "never enough" can be interpreted as meaning that no amount of success can ever fulfill a person's desire for more.

The second verse introduces a sense of longing for more time as the person realizes that time is slipping away from them, and they cannot keep up with the demands of their success. The idea of someone deciding from where up high and granting them more time is a reflection of their desire to be in control of their own success. The bridge of the song describes the contrast between the person's internal struggles with their outward appearance of success. They feel like a wondrous creature in front of everyone, but inwardly they are retreating under covers, closing curtains, and struggling to cope. The chorus repeats a few more times, emphasizing the feeling of being overwhelmed and never satisfied.

Overall, the song Too Much Is Never Enough by Florence + the Machine is a reflection of the struggle and internal conflict that may arise with success or fame. It illustrates how even though success can bring its own privileges, it can also weigh heavy on a person's head, leaving them feeling unfulfilled and still craving more.

Line by Line Meaning

And the crown it weighs heavy
The responsibilities and expectations of my position as a performer feel like a burden and are overwhelming.

'Till it's banging on my eyelids
This burden is so heavy that it's causing physical strain and exhaustion.

Retreating in covers and closing the curtains
I find solace and safety in hiding away from the pressure to perform and be in the public eye.

One thing's for certain, oh
Amidst all the uncertainties and challenges, I know that time passes quickly and life goes on.

A year like this passes so strangely
Despite feeling like time is flying by, it's also passing slowly and in a strange way due to the stresses and hardships I'm experiencing.

Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
My emotions are conflicted and I'm experiencing both sadness and joy simultaneously.

Oh, who decides from where up high?
I question the authority or higher power that determines the course of my life and career.

I couldn't say I need more time
I'm not sure if more time will help me overcome my difficulties or if it will only prolong my suffering.

Oh, grant that I can stay the night
I plead for a break from the constant demands of my career and a chance to rest.

Or one more day inside this life
I hope for another opportunity to experience life and continue pursuing my passions.

Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
The pressure and expectations on me are overwhelming and excessive.

Never enough
Despite the excess, it never feels like it's enough or adequate.

Oh, you wondrous creature
I address a loved one, perhaps a romantic partner, with awe and admiration.

Coming up who we are
Together, we face challenges and grow into who we're meant to be.

And who cares about the thing I did that night?
I realize that my mistakes or misadventures may not matter in the grand scheme of things.

So what, maybe Luna had it right
I reference the character from Harry Potter who has a carefree and whimsical outlook on life, suggesting that it may have some merit.

And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
I acknowledge the possibility of danger or risk in my endeavors, but it doesn't deter me or make me any less determined to pursue my goals.

So what, 'least I have the strength to fight
I prefer to embrace the struggles and challenges in my life rather than running away, and I derive strength and resilience from this attitude.

One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
I use a metaphor to describe the passage of time and the many opportunities and experiences I may encounter.

One day, felt it let go of me
Despite the difficulties and uncertainties, I'm able to find moments of relief and release from my burdens.

A hundred flags flying in a field
Again, I use a metaphor to express the vast array of possibilities and adventures that await me in life.

One day, felt it let go of me
I reiterate the idea that even in the most challenging times, there are moments of respite and freedom that give me hope and resilience.

A hundred flags flying in a field
I repeat this metaphor to emphasize the boundless potential and possibilities in life.

One day, felt it let go of me
I conclude with the theme of finding moments of release and relief from the difficulties of life, and finding the strength to carry on.

FFXV was beautiful in the way it depicted not only friendship but that destiny can be cruel and there's sometimes never enough time to do everything or express everything. Noctis had a huge burden on his shoulders. I also loved that so much of the big events took place off-screen, and you saw the characters reactions to it. To me, that was realistic and what I enjoyed about it.

@lunarya2855

3y↑38

Thank you for saying this. I'm sad seeing all the hate towards FFXV and Noctis. He's a tragic character, not a spoiled brat.

@jahanshadi1934

2y↑18

I just love FFXV, it's now my fav FF but I can't say that it's very constructive for naration having so much things off screen.. Many things in the game were not always written well. But My God, the friendship ! For me the best friendship of all the FF and the best villain. Ardyn is so good as a character.

@arreis7866

2y↑17

@luna rya Actually I do think Noctis comes across as bratty which is what makes him such a good character and so relatable. Here's this kid (20 is still emotionally young) who his whole life has been told "You're the chosen one, you have a grand responsibility to the world and must save everyone to fulfill the prophecy" WITH ZERO SAY in the matter. Of course he would be rebellious and gripe all the time! Who wouldn't!?

All he wants is to have a dad, see his fiance (wink, wink), and chill with his bros like any sane, normal person. But instead he loses his home, father, fiance, sleeps outside, has to fight an empire, and purge the darkness without knowing what that even means. It's a great, tragic twist on the classic coming of age story about growing up and accepting difficult responsibilities in life. It wouldn't have hit as hard as it did had Noctis NOT throw a bunch of tantrums about all the loss and hardship he endured. :')

@evilblackcat6357

IMO SE wasted a hell of a lot of potential in these characters and plot. I've been playing FF games since I was a wee one with the American release of FF2 [actually 4] and played every single one after. I played FFXI for years [literally, in accumulated game time, sadly?] and FFXIV as well for a long time. I'm old enough to appreciate the olds, but also enough to see the drastic change. FFXV tried to depict a deeper plot, but in comparison it just... didn't add up to what it could've been in to the older installments. Ultimately I found the characters to not even be remotely flushed out as to what could have been. That being said; I cannot knock SE for splurging on Flo as at the very least the soundtrack was phenominal.

@muhamadnabil6750

2y↑4

Agreed, those who hate FFXV is just a kid or grown up with a kid's mindset that can't understand how the world work, sometimes bad things happened, and sometimes good things happened

Despite the multitude of different songs from this wonderful group and artist, this has to be my favorite. Not because of the game, but because there is something so terribly beautiful and sad about this song and that feeling of struggle portrayed by the lyrics. This song resonates with me in a way that I can’t put into words; like I needed to hear it and understand it. It is simply amazing and I still keep it in my active playlist wherever I go.

It's astonishing that they had a song this amazing in the wings and it doesn't play at all during the endgame. You have to discover it by accident in the credits option in the menu. What a wasted opportunity!

Simultaneously uplifting and devastating. This is up there with the use of "My Hands" in FFXIII, or the ending theme of FFX, in terms of just utterly destroying the listener with an emotional response. This right here is why FF games are in a class apart from other video RPG's / adventure games. Masterful!

@OhimeEtsu

7y↑281

I have way too many feelings about this song. It makes you understand that no, Noctis is not a spoiled brat, he just can't do anything about his destiny. He knows what awaits him that's why the time he spent travelling with this friends was precious to him but also knew that it was only a mere delay of his duties. He fucking technically lived 20 years and like what 2 days.
The outro was just so beautiful and majestic. Thank you Florence and the Machine for performing a perfect music that conveys all of that !!

SE didn't live up to the song in the game.

@ReconWo1f

3y↑10

I think we love the game for completely different reasons. I think Noctis is a spoilt brat, at the start he is completely oblivious to the fate what awaits him and why his Dad is acting unusual. The story takes such a U turn at the start you are tricked into thinking you are going in a rich fancy car to a wedding with a beautiful bride with a bunch of body guards but things continue to get out of hand and only by the end of the game does Noctis understand what awaits him, such character growth / sense of journey is rare in games. It mirrors real life in a sense how we do things we might be really reluctant to do such as Education but by the end you realise how much the people around you matter, that feeling/sense of loss when the journey is finally ending is something that FFXV captures amazingly on an epic scale.

@JollyGreenGir

7y↑4

FFXV couldn't have been put together more beautifully that it was, and the emphasis on the appreciation of having such a great bond with your closest friends is really what got me. Such a masterpiece, it was, and these songs by Florence and the Machine make it even harder for me to take. Loved it so much :)

@christopheraldana1038

5y↑34

I'm 99% sure that Florence is a real life White Mage that joined up with a band of Bards because she got tired of conventional healing. When your singing is literally summoning a thunderstorm pitter pattering and moving things around to the beat of your music in near perfect harmony, there's gotta be some mad magic involved

@KingdomFinalXBleach

This song is absolute beauty. It feels reminiscent of songs like Eyes on me from FF8 and Melodies of life from FF9. This could definitely be the ending theme song or perhaps play at Noct and Luna's wedding.

@Ltwentytwo

Wouldn't Stand By Me be a better wedding song? This sounds better as an ending theme.

@KingdomFinalXBleach

8y↑11

Stand by me is more of a friendship/comrade song. Their wedding could very well be the ending and this could play during it.

It just fits so well with how emotional the game is.

Met her a couple months back but I still can't get over it. She is such a power house of a voice. So serene and graceful. A white witch that can conjure magic with a voice that enchants emotions in you. She was so kind and we spoke of art. Sigh.....

This is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard included in a video game. If it weren't for FFXV, I would have never heard of Florence + The Machine, but now that I have, I am enchanted by her voice. Please ignore the childishness of some of my fellow video game fans bringing argument to the comments. This song is beautiful and brought a new depth to the game we love.

Esta canción merece un vídeo increíble por lo fantástica que es. México te ama. ❤

Listening to Florence and the Machine's songs takes me to another world. For a few minutes, all the stress and worries in the world just disappear and I get to experience pure happiness. I'm so glad I stumbled across them

This song is so meaningful, and it makes me tear up now that I've finished the game. This and Stand By Me mean sooooo much more if you listen to it, finish the game, and listen again - but closer. This WILL make you teary-eyed (or full out cry).

Never in my life had i ever heard a more incredible and final end credits song, it just sings Finality you need to end a game with to make you feel like its truly over.

I really hope they keep this sound for their next album (which I hope doesn't take long). I loved all three of their albums and this song perfectly catches what kind of band they are.

PS. Still can't believe it's been a year since they released HBHBHB.

Florence has been my favorite artist since 2010 and I am so proud of her. She has released 5 beautiful albums, written so many songs as soundtracks… her music is the ethereal alternative rock we always need in our lives. She is a powerful and genuine person that makes masterpieces. 🔥❤️

Always been an admirer of F&TM, but now I adore them. This is such a beautiful song.

@cassidymoore2232

I also want to add I've seen her live and was brought to tears at how beautiful her voice and presence was in person. If you can believe it, her voice is even more angelic and pure live. Her band is the only one I've felt such an indescribable connection toward and could listen every single day exclusively for the rest of my life and be perfectly content. I will be a fan forever :)

After beating FF XV, the lyrics are more meaningful than ever! Especially the bridge:

"And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what? Maybe Luna had it right.
And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
So what? At least I have the strength to fight!"

Awesome!

@babyclown8818

Greensky02 I agree I sat there in front of my TV staring screaming that they told me , at least in my mind what's to come. rumor is that there are 7 expansions 3 of them you get to play the Bros and they are all trying to bring noctis back. I would be happy with that after 100 hours of game play I have grown emotionally attached to my character he can't just be dead, gone for good you know. The line of 'who cares if I'm coming back alive' makes complete sense with this idea. I don't know about the other 3 maybe you get to play ardyn, luna and Regis or cor that would be cool. I secretly hope not cor though I hate him.

@ShaniaMitra99

She's too good for it. Honestly, no award could do her music and her, justice. Especially an award which was given to the likes of Kanye West and Taylor Swift.

P.S: I love my Taylor, but, tbh, winning over people like Florence, Coldplay or even Ed Sheeran, is wrong to me. 1989 was one of the most pleasant and refreshing albums I've listened to, but it was no masterpiece. Not like How Big, How blue, How beautiful. Or Lungs. Or Ceremonials.

@conghero666

could not agree with you more. Have you known Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory, I listen to Taylor just because he said he loves her. Actually I prefer her first albums. She is definitely a good singer, but in a normal good way, not in the crazy good way like Florence. Florence rocks.

@ShaniaMitra99

8y↑1

Shadowsong Totally! I love me some Sheldon! I like 1989 more, but, I think that's because I'm more of an alternative person than a country person, but I understand why ppl say the earlier ones are better.

Florence is beautiful in looks, in personality, musically. No comparison.

@Chris Mason That’s what I’m confused about, are there 2 credits in the menu? Because the one I saw had a version of “Noctis” playing in the background, not this song.

This song is like the story of my life. (I couldn't say I need more time.)Always looking for the next thing to do tomorrow and feeling like I'll never do enough even with the years I have left. (Oh who decides from way up high) Me deciding not one person can give me value. (Too much is never enough.) Giving up or being overwhelmed will never do me any good.

And here I am again. This song got me through my best friend's death in 2019, and now it's getting me through my father's death on September 19, 2023. Too much is never enough when it comes to the love we have for our family and friends.

He was a veteran so he is being buried in the same national cemetery as my best friend.

"A hundred flags flying in a field"... still gets me EVERY TIME.

RIP Dad, I love you forever. Until Valhalla.

I beat the game awhile ago, actually I've done it twice. Now I've been waiting for more dlc and grinding for more xp through the timed quest. Then I come back to this song and I'm reminded of how heavy and impactful this game is, I remember what happened at the end of the game. I'd be lying if I said this song didn't punch me with a fist full of feels.

@MtMarshi

This actually brought me to tears. The thought of where this may be played in the game, at some crucial moment methinks. Perhaps the ending? The sheer emotion dripping off this song is, ironically, almost toi much to bear but bear it I will because it is an ASTOUNDING song.
