Not Enough
Pearl feat. Niia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ont he tip of my tongue, but they can't be said right now!
There's million people ponderin' regrets
No, I never ever meant to let you down
(Never never never never never never ever)
Uuh, no reasons turning seasons
Burning demons it's not enough
It's not enough!
And I guess those jacks not making plans
When it's hard enough to understand
Just how we got this far
And if there's just a flashing of pearl
Trying to come the way with what you get
For now, ooh for now, now
Uuh, no reasons turning seasons
Burning demons it's not enough
It's not enough!
It's not enough
It's not enough
Uuh, no reasons turning seasons
Burning demons it's not enough
It's not enough!
It's not enough
It's not enough
Not enough
Uuuh, not enough
It's not enough
It's not enough
Not enough
It's not enough
The song "Not Enough" by Pearl and Niia expresses the feeling of being unable to communicate what is on one's mind despite having a lot to say. The lyrics reflect the frustration one feels when they are unable to express themselves fully, even though they have a lot to say. The opening lines "There's a million words inside my head, on the tip of my tongue, but they can't be said right now" are a powerful reflection of the feeling of being lost for words.
The song then moves on to explore the idea of regrets, and how one can never mean to let someone down. The lines "there's a million people pondering regrets, no I never ever meant to let you down" express this sentiment clearly. The chorus, which is repeated numerous times, emphasizes the fact that nothing is ever just enough. No matter how much you try, it never seems to be enough.
Finally, the song explores the idea of fate, and how things can happen in life without our understanding why. The lines "And if there's just a flashing of pearl, trying to come the way with what you get" are a reference to the idea that we need to take what life gives us, even if we don't fully understand it. The song ends with the refrain "It's not enough" repeated several times, emphasizing the feeling of being insufficient no matter how much we try.
