Not Enough
Judd and Maggie Lyrics

The first verse of Judd and Maggie's "Not Enough" seems to deal with escapism and avoidance. The singer is describing a desire to remain in their bed and avoid the world outside, preferring to create their own little world within their mind. The use of words like "womblike" and "reposed" convey a sense of comfort and security, even though it means shutting out reality. The line "muting out the truth that knocks" suggests that the singer is aware that their avoidance is not a permanent solution and that they are ignoring problems that need to be faced.

However, the second verse shifts to a more hopeful message. The singer has had a brush with death ("so close to rope I cleared my throat") but has been given a second chance. The line "hangman slack my father's back" refers to the singer's father being hanged, but it is unclear whether this is a literal event or a metaphor for the family's struggles. Regardless, the singer has emerged from this experience with a determination to destroy the "monster" they had created inside themselves. The repetition of the line "I'll help you destroy it" emphasizes the importance of having a support system and not facing problems alone.

The chorus ties both verses together, encouraging the singer to wake up from their slumber and face reality ("give me a window, give me a light"). The line "you've always been mine" could refer to a higher power, a supportive friend or family member, or even the singer's own inner strength. The final line, "make it to the other side", is a metaphor for overcoming challenges and moving forward. Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of facing problems head-on rather than avoiding them, with the message that it is never too late to start making changes.
