Moederziel alleen, loop ik terug naar huis
En het voelt of alles went
Deze wolkenloze dag, versluit in donkergrijs
Zo had ik het niet gepland
Ik ben weer in dat zwarte gat gerend

Oh, liefste, kreeg ik maar genoeg van jouw lichaam
Oh, liefste, kreeg ik mijn verlangens maar klein
Kon ik mijn ogen nu maar sluiten en weggaan
Zou het zo simpel zijn?

Ik ben omsingeld door waar ik mezelf mee heb omringd
Als de leegte mij vervult
Jij weet net zo goed, het is niet alles goud wat blinkt
Onder de laag verguld
Vergeefs de blinde lust verhuld

Oh, liefste, kreeg ik maar genoeg van jouw lichaam
Oh, liefste, kreeg ik mijn verlangens maar klein
Kon ik mijn ogen nu maar sluiten en weggaan
Zou het zo simpel zijn?

Maar ik draai me toch niet om
En loop toch niet van je weg
Ik doe het omgekeerde van wat ik zeg
Als de aarde tot de maan
Trek je mij weer aan,
Zo verlies ik weer het gevecht!

Oh, liefste, kreeg ik maar genoeg van jouw lichaam
Oh, liefste, kreeg ik mijn verlangens maar klein
Kon ik mijn ogen nu maar sluiten en weggaan
Zou het zo simpel zijn?

Oh, liefste, kreeg ik maar genoeg van jouw lichaam
Oh, liefste, kreeg ik mijn verlangens maar klein
Kon ik mijn ogen nu maar sluiten en weggaan
Zou het zo simpel zijn?

Overall Meaning

The song "Kreeg Ik Maar Genoeg" by Dutch duo Nick & Simon is a soulful ballad about feeling trapped in a toxic relationship but unable to leave. The opening lines describe the singer walking home alone, feeling like everything is becoming dark and gray even on a clear day. He is trapped in a cycle of desire and lust, unable to break free despite knowing that it's best for him. He is surrounded by the emptiness of his desires and is blinded by his lust.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Oh, liefste, kreeg ik maar genoeg van jouw lichaam" (Oh, darling, if only I could have enough of your body) which reveals that the singer is consumed by his desire for his partner's physical presence. He wishes he could overcome these feelings and move on, but he can't. He acknowledges that leaving the relationship would be the best course of action, but he can't bring himself to do it.

The closing lines state that he is unable to resist returning to his partner, even though he knows that it's unhealthy for both of them. This portrays the cycle of addiction that many people experience in their relationships. They know they shouldn't keep going, but they can't help themselves from falling back into the same patterns.

Moederziel alleen, loop ik terug naar huis
I am walking back home all by myself

En het voelt of alles went
And it seems like everything just becomes a routine

Deze wolkenloze dag, versluit in donkergrijs
This day that started sunny is now turning bleak

Zo had ik het niet gepland
This is not how I envisioned it

Ik ben weer in dat zwarte gat gerend
I feel like I'm stuck in a black hole again

Oh, liefste, kreeg ik maar genoeg van jouw lichaam
Oh, my love, if only I could get enough of your body

Oh, liefste, kreeg ik mijn verlangens maar klein
Oh, my love, if only I could reduce my desires

Kon ik mijn ogen nu maar sluiten en weggaan
If only I could close my eyes and leave

Zou het zo simpel zijn?
Would it be that easy?

Ik ben omsingeld door waar ik mezelf mee heb omringd
I feel trapped by the things I have surrounded myself with

Als de leegte mij vervult
Even though I'm surrounded, I feel empty
