Never Enough
Herman Brood His Wild Romance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Groovin′ & rollin' in any rotten town
Huntin′ for Kicks, chicks, messing me round
Let me be y'r wild boy, send you flowers
Let me be y'r lover in the wee wee hours
Let me be y′r lover in the wee wee hours honey
Late at night when the nightmares came
You know I opened my eyes, and told you, you′re to blame
Talkin' trash, bringin′ you down
Like a blind horse messin' round
Like a blind horse messin′ round
You told me you love me, but it's never enough
You told me you love me, so don′t treat me so tough
You told me you love me, but it's never enough
Treat me like a yoyo, got me actin' like a dog
Groovin′ & rollin′ in any rotten town
Huntin' for kicks, chicks, messing me round
I′m talkin' trash, honey bringin′ you down
I said 'like a blind horse messin′ me round
Hey, like a blind horse messin' me round'
Late at night, I will think of my death
I had to take a shotgun, shot a bullet to my head
You told me you love me, but y′r love couldn′t heal
The blisters on my soul & the pain that I feel
You told me you love me, but it could never heal
You told me you love me, it's never enough
You told me you love me, so don′t treat me so tough
You told me you love me, it's never enough
Don′t treat me like a yoyo got me actin' like a dog
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob, it′s never enough
Shock the mob, real as a rock
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob, it's never enough
Shock the mob, real as a rock
Shock the mob
Shock the mob
Shock the mob, it's never enough
Shock the mob, real as a rock
Shock the mob
Shock the mob




Shock the mob, it′s never enough
Shock the mob

Overall Meaning

He describes his fear of death at night and how he had to shoot himself to escape his pain.


Although the theme of the song seems to convey sadness and despair, the rhythm and melody of "Never Enough" are electrifying, getting the listener grooving and dancing. Perhaps, the intensity of the music shows how the character copes with his forlorn life. The song exudes wildness and freedom, a reflection of Herman Brood's personality as a rock and roll rebel.
