Never Enough
Hard Luck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What we've been made into
Always wanting more
Needing something new
Why do we want this useless crap
Things we'll never need
We can never ever just be satisfied
Its never enough
The lyrics to Hard Luck's song Never Enough are introspective and critical of societal consumerism. The singer asks the listener to step back and observe that we are constantly wanting more, needing something new, and accumulating useless things that we do not need. The song questions why we are never satisfied with what we have, even when we have enough. The repeated phrase "never enough" emphasizes this point and suggests that our insatiable desire for more is ultimately unfulfilling.
The lyrics can be interpreted as a commentary on the capitalist society we live in where we are encouraged to constantly consume more products and material possessions. The song suggests that this mindset is ultimately damaging and that our desire for more can never truly be satisfied. By asking the listener to step back and question their own desires, the song encourages introspection and self-awareness.
