Not Enough
Makari Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This feeling's strange
This isn't my body
At least not anymore
Or maybe I'm not sure

This feeling's strange
This isn't my body
At least not anymore
Or maybe I'm not sure

I've lost as much hair as I've lost sleep
And I know one day we'll all fall way too deep

It's not enough, it's not enough
You were all I had
Now you're not here so I must do this on my own
It's not enough, it's not enough
I still have your blood
Running through the arms that cannot reach you now

My head is a lake
I'm floating face down
I stay floating face down

It's not enough, it's not enough
You were all I had
Now you're not here so I must do this on my own
It's not enough, it's not enough
I still have your blood
Running through the arms that cannot reach you now

I'm drowning in the pools between my ears
Some days the trees and cars just don't seem real
Without you, is there really a me?

It's not enough, it's not enough
You were all I ever had

It's not enough, it's not enough
You were all I had
Now you're not here so I must do this on my own
It's not enough, it's not enough
I still have your blood
Running through the arms that cannot reach you now

I'm drowning in the pools between my ears




Some days the trees and cars just don't seem real
Without you, is there really a me?

Heard this song a while ago and been jamming to every song I can get my ears on since. Elegies is such a sad but strong EP. One of the most moving things I've found in a while. I can't stop listening. I definitely wish there were some vinyl copies out there.
