It's Not Enough
Medicine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just want to get things right
Even though that
You know that it's not enough
You know that it's not enough

It's not enough to hold the love
It's not enough to let it fall
It's never wrong to
It's not enough to

It's not enough to hold the love
It's not enough to let it fall




It's never wrong to
It's not enough to

Overall Meaning

The song "It's Not Enough" by Medicine is a beautiful and introspective piece that deals with themes of love, inadequacy, and the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels overwhelming. The first stanza sets the tone for the entire song, with the singer admitting that they want to "get things right" but feeling a sense of futility because they know it's never going to be enough. These lines suggest a certain level of self-awareness and an acknowledgement of one's own limitations.


The repetition of the line "it's not enough" throughout the song reinforces this feeling of inadequacy and highlights the deep yearning for something more that lies at the heart of the lyrics. The second stanza continues the theme of love, with the singer recognizing that simply holding onto love or letting it fall isn't enough to sustain a relationship. The final line of the third stanza is left incomplete, emphasizing the idea that the singer is searching for something more profound and meaningful than the mere trappings of love.


Overall, "It's Not Enough" is a poignant and powerful song that explores universal themes in a deeply personal way. The lyrics capture the sense of restlessness and existential uncertainty that many people experience, and the haunting melody and sparse instrumental arrangement complement the mood perfectly.

The video just destroys it....

@MichauemJestem

The music might be really good, but when the video is just instantly leaving me with an afterglow, even after closing my eyes. Its horrible. My advice: next time just make a nice, classy artwork instead of a vieo.
