it was never enough
Fog Lake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

living out my wasted time
nowhere to run
nowhere to hide
staring through a hollow heart
we were all out of luck
it was never enough
angels crying in the streets
somewhere underneath
he's inside of me
emptiness becomes a home
all you'll ever know
it was never enough
sorry for what you became
but who can be blamed?
i know you know
living in a hollow heart




we were fucked from the start
it was never enough

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fog Lake's "It Was Never Enough" speaks about the feeling of emptiness and hopelessness despite one's efforts. The first two lines of the song, "living out my wasted time, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide" express the feeling of being stuck in one's current situation without any escape. The line "staring through a hollow heart" represents the disappointment and sadness that one may feel when they have given their all and still feel unfulfilled. The chorus, "we were all out of luck, it was never enough" further emphasizes the theme of hopelessness and the inability to reach one's goal no matter how hard they try.


The second verse continues with the theme of emptiness and hopelessness. The line "angels crying in the streets, somewhere underneath, he's inside of me" can be interpreted as a desire for something more significant, a higher purpose perhaps. The line "emptiness becomes a home, all you'll ever know, it was never enough" speaks to the idea that sometimes, emptiness and dissatisfaction become so familiar that it becomes the norm. The final lines of the song, "sorry for what you became, but who can be blamed? I know you know, living in a hollow heart, we were fucked from the start, it was never enough" drives home the idea that even if one can identify the source of their problems and struggles, it's still a challenging situation to be in.
