Never Enough
Tarja/Tarja Turunen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The warm embrace gave me the meaning
Another time, a cross to carry
Cruel facade imaginary
I don't belong
There's no going back
what we used to be
no place for me
Never enough, never enough
No, never enough, never enough
I gave it all
You still want more
A child's game, the search for reason
A coldest day, I stopped believing
Another war, my endless laughter
A storyline is all they're after
I don't belong
In "Never Enough" by Tarja Turunen, the lyrics speak about a longing for love and acceptance that is never fulfilled. The singer reflects on her life and how she has been searching for meaning, but never quite feels like she belongs. She talks about how in the past, there was a warm embrace that gave her purpose, but now that time has passed and she feels lost. She mentions a cruel facade that is imaginary, perhaps referring to the mask people put on to hide their true feelings or intentions.
The lyrics go on to say that there is no going back to what things used to be - there is no room for the singer and no place for her in this world. She has given everything she has, but is met with the realization that it is never enough. The search for reason and understanding continues, but it feels like a child's game with no real answer. The singer has stopped believing, and all that seems to be left is a never-ending war and the search for a storyline, a plot to make sense of it all.
Overall, the lyrics of "Never Enough" convey a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction with life, despite efforts to find meaning and love. There is a longing for acceptance and a feeling of being lost in a world that doesn't quite fit. The song is a powerful reflection on the human experience and our innate desire to find a place where we belong.

There's more to Tarja than her Nightwish-time. People should start to realize that.

This has got to be one of the best lyrical videos I have ever seen. Most lyric videos are just a power point presentation (and I do mean the official ones). This one can almost pass as an actual video.

Tarja, the diva metal goddess rules!

A maior cantora de metal!!!! Sua voz sempre me inspirou e sempre inspirará. Tanto no Nightwish, quanto solo, seu talento sempre fez todos os fãs de metal, ou não, se renderem...Obrigada Tarja!

Colours in the Dark é o melhor álbum da carreira solo da Tarja.
