Plenty
Gabrielle Current Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was I not enough
Stayed ‘til you had plenty
Was that too much
Did you feel so empty
Enough to come around
Guess you got what you need
Listen to me when I say I swear I tried
We went the way we should but you changed your mind
I know we couldn’t always see eye to eye
But that doesn’t make it right
I’d rather be alone
I’d rather be on my own
I’d rather be
What sweet nothings you sung
I’d rather be on my own
I’d rather be
I’d rather be
And I wonder wonder wonder
If we overdid it
Thunder thunder thunder
Hits and you regret it
Lightning hits you center
The opening lines of the song convey a sense of questioning and self-reflection. The singer is asking if they were not enough for the other person, if they stayed until they were no longer needed, and if that was too much for the other person to handle. There is a tone of uncertainty and insecurity, as if the singer is seeking validation and understanding.
As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance that the other person may have felt empty and sought fulfillment elsewhere. The singer wonders if the other person is happy now that they have what they need, indicating a sense of longing and loss on the singer's part. There is a hint of bitterness and hurt in the realization that the other person may have moved on without looking back.
The following lines express a mixture of frustration and sadness as the singer reflects on their efforts to make things work in the relationship. Despite their best efforts, the other person changed their mind, leading to a sense of betrayal and disappointment. The singer acknowledges that they may not have always seen eye to eye with the other person, but that doesn't justify the pain and confusion that resulted from their actions.
The final verses of the song reveal a desire for independence and self-reliance. The singer expresses a preference for being alone and on their own rather than dealing with the empty promises and uncertainties of the past relationship. There is a sense of empowerment in choosing to prioritize their own well-being and happiness, rather than being dependent on someone else for validation or fulfillment. The repetition of "I'd rather be on my own" emphasizes the resolve and strength of the singer in moving forward from the pain and heartache of the past.
