Never Enough
Sleeping With Sirens Benji Madden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if I had my own way, I would shoot down the sun
'Cause I don't fuck with anyone
I can't be fake like everyone
So tell me, what does it take?
Give me the secret
If I told you the truth would you believe it?
Am I the only one to see the monster I've become?
You don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Never knowing why until it's all done
There must be something more to believe
But it's never enough, never enough for me
It's time to get up, I been down for so long
Get me out of my head, I can't do this alone
Feels like the walls are closin' in
I can't keep going on like this
How did I end up this way?
Give me a reason
Give me something to take to stop the bleeding
Am I the only one to see the monster I've become?
You don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Never knowing why until it's all done
There must be something more to believe
But it's never enough, never enough for me
If we could rule the world how would we make it?
The best is yet to come, if we can face it
Always on our own, don't you see?
It was never enough, never enough for me
(Never enough, never enough for me)
Maybe the pain was sent just to push me forward
If I could look inside and somehow find the courage
I can't keep running away to live these fucked up fantasies
Now I'll turn around, I'm looking in the mirror
Life is funny and the pain will make it clearer
So I'm ripping out my heart for everyone to see
You don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Never knowing why until it's all done
There must be something more to believe
But it's never enough, never enough for me
If we could rule the world how would we make it?
The best is yet to come, if we can face it
Always on our own, don't you see?
It was never enough, never enough for me
The song "Never Enough" by Sleeping With Sirens feat. Benji Madden explores the struggles of feeling unfulfilled and lost in life. The first verse describes the desire to escape from the world, even if it means destroying everything in the process. The singer of the song doesn't feel like they fit in and can't fake it like everyone else. They long for a secret or key to unlock the mystery of life, but wonder if anyone else sees the "monster" they have become.
The chorus reflects on the idea that we often take things for granted until they are gone. The singer understands this, but still feels like there must be something more to believe in. In the second verse, the singer is trying to get back on their feet after a long period of feeling down. They feel trapped and alone, wondering how they got to this point. They long for a reason or something to numb the pain. Ultimately, they realize that the monster they see is themselves, and they must face their demons head-on.
The song ends on a hopeful note, with the idea that we can create a better world if we face our challenges and don't run away from them. The pain we endure can lead to greater self-awareness and clarity if we choose to confront it.
Overall, "Never Enough" is a poignant reflection on the universal struggle to find purpose and meaning in life, and the importance of facing our fears and challenges head-on.
