Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
Never enough
However much I do
However big I ever feel
It's never enough
Whatever I do to make it real
It's never enough
In any way I try to speak
Never enough
Never enough
However much I try to speak
It's never enough
However much I'm falling down
It's never enough
However much I'm falling out
It's never enough
Whatever smile I smile the most
Never enough
Never enough
However I smile I smile the most
So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever I do it's never enough
It's never enough
However much I push it down
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
However much I do
Never
Never enough
However much I'm falling down
Never enough
However much I'm falling out
Never, never enough
Whatever smile I smile the most
Never enough
However I smile I smile the most
So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever I do it's never enough
Never enough
So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it over just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
Whatever I do it's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never, it's never enough
In the song "Never Enough" by Ofln - The Cure, the lyrics delve into the recurring theme of personal dissatisfaction and the feeling of never measuring up, no matter how much effort is made. The repetition of the phrase "never enough" emphasizes the singer's frustration and highlights the continual pursuit of something that always seems out of reach.
The first two lines, "However much I push it down, it's never enough. However much I push it around, it's never enough," suggest that the individual is trying to suppress their emotions or struggles but realizes that no matter how hard they try to ignore or avoid them, it's never sufficient. This speaks to the idea that simply burying one's problems or feelings won't make them disappear; they will always resurface.
The next two lines, "However much I make it out, it's never enough. Never enough, however much I do," suggest that the individual is striving for success or accomplishment in some form, but no matter how much progress they make or how much they achieve, they still feel unsatisfied. It could be interpreted as a commentary on the eternal longing for more, even when reaching milestones or meeting goals.
The following verse explores the feeling of falling, both physically and emotionally, and how it contributes to the overall sense of insufficiency. No matter how much the individual tries to hold themselves together or put on a facade, it never feels like it's enough. The repetition of "never enough" hammers home the point that no matter what they do or how they present themselves to the world, it fails to fulfill the internal void they feel.
The final lines, "So let me hold it up just one more go. Holding it over just once more. One more time to fill it up. One more time to kill." convey a sense of desperation and the desire for one more chance to fix or resolve whatever is causing this perpetual dissatisfaction. However, despite this plea for another opportunity, the individual acknowledges that whatever actions they take, it will never be enough.
Overall, "Never Enough" reflects the universal struggle to find fulfillment and satisfaction. It highlights the human tendency to constantly search for more, whether it's in terms of personal emotions, achievements, or the perception of oneself. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and recognition that no matter what is done, it will never be sufficient to fill the void within.

Cuándo una canción es buena nunca llega a dejar de sonar nunca. Y cada generación las hace suyas. Así ahí las tendremos siempre a mano, para volver a disfrutar de su genialidad. The Cure para siempre.

If there was a 30 minutes version of this I would have it on loop. This is just incredible
Foniks Monkee
The extended mix (big mix) is even better than this version (more guitar).
