Never Be Enough
Sent By Ravens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come close
Take off your shoes
Tell me all the thoughts
That weigh on you
Bad love
Left a visible scar
But it won't fool me
'Cause I know who you are

Every wall we build inside
Will never be high enough
To keep the water from our eyes
And all the good you see in me
Will never be good enough
It doesn't have to be good enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough

Years pass
In the blink of an eye
Still you hope for change
But live in lies
Bad luck
Left a hole in your guard
But it won't fool me
'Cause I know who you are

Every wall we build inside
Will never be high enough
To keep the water from our eyes
And all the good you see in me
Will never be good enough
It doesn't have to be good enough
It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough




It'll never be enough
It'll never be enough

However, the singer knows the true identity of the person and won't be deceived.


The chorus describes the futility of building walls to keep the water from our eyes. This could be interpreted as trying to repress our emotions, but eventually, they come out, and the walls won't be high enough to stop it. The good that the listener sees in the singer will never be enough, but it doesn't have to be. It's a recognition that we all have flaws and imperfections that we need to accept.


Overall, the song is a message of acceptance and understanding. The singer is telling the listener that he knows who they are beyond the pain they have experienced and the lies they have told themselves. Also, he recognizes that these flaws and imperfections don't have to be fixed or changed because they make up a part of who we are.
