Never Enough
Lahannya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I made a choice not long
To travel on the brink
Of the values I uphold
And still believe in

In the name of my crusade
I sacrificed my pride
To continue the charade
While bide my time

Why is it never enough
Why do you bleed my soul
Still not satisfied
Now that you’ve taken all

Never before did I plead
You got me on my knees
Caught in your embrace
Till you let go of me

You’ve succeeded where I failed
Using methods I abhor
Since blind violence is hailed
As tool of first resort

I’m not afraid to bear my cross
Face the burden of betrayal
To regain what I have lost
I have to lose my way

Can I hide my secret intentions
Can I deny who I am
How much longer
Can I keep on pretending




To wear the mantle of someone
That I know I’m not

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lahannya's "Never Enough" explore themes of personal sacrifice, betrayal, and the question of whether holding to one's values is worth it when they seem to be in opposition to others' desires. The singer, who has made a choice to travel on the brink of their values, portrays themselves as sacrificing their pride and continuing a charade, presumably to serve a greater cause or crusade. However, they feel that their efforts are not enough, and that whoever they are trying to please is still bleeding their soul and taking more from them. The chorus echoes this sentiment, asking why it's never enough, and questioning the satisfaction of the person or people they are trying to please.


The second verse takes a darker turn as the singer reveals that they have been caught in the embrace of someone who has succeeded where they failed, using methods that they abhor. Blind violence is hailed as the tool of first resort, suggesting that the singer's nemesis is willing to go to any length to achieve their goals. However, the singer is not afraid to bear their cross and face the burden of betrayal in order to regain what they have lost, even if it means losing their way. The bridge seems to question whether the singer can continue to hide their secret intentions and deny who they truly are, or if they will be forced to confront their true self and wear the mantle of someone they know they're not.


Overall, "Never Enough" is a powerful and introspective song that raises important questions about the cost of sticking to one's values and the personal sacrifices that must sometimes be made in the name of a greater cause.


Line by Line Meaning

I made a choice not long
I recently decided


To travel on the brink
To live on the edge


Of the values I uphold
Of my personal beliefs


And still believe in
That I still hold dear


In the name of my crusade
For the sake of my mission


I sacrificed my pride
I gave up my dignity


To continue the charade
To keep up the act


While bide my time
While waiting for my chance


Why is it never enough
Why can't you be satisfied


Why do you bleed my soul
Why do you drain me emotionally


Still not satisfied
You're not content yet


Now that you’ve taken all
Now that you've gotten everything you wanted


Never before did I plead
I never begged before


You got me on my knees
You brought me down low


Caught in your embrace
Trapped in your hold


Till you let go of me
Until you released me


You’ve succeeded where I failed
You achieved what I couldn't


Using methods I abhor
Using tactics I hate


Since blind violence is hailed
Because people celebrate mindless aggression


As tool of first resort
As a primary means of achieving their goals


I’m not afraid to bear my cross
I'm willing to accept my burden


Face the burden of betrayal
Endure the pain of being betrayed


To regain what I have lost
To recover what I once had


I have to lose my way
I have to stray from my path


Can I hide my secret intentions
Can I keep my ulterior motives hidden


Can I deny who I am
Can I refuse to acknowledge my true self


How much longer
For how much more time


Can I keep on pretending
Can I continue to fake it


To wear the mantle of someone
To don the persona of another


That I know I’m not
That I'm aware isn't who I truly am
