Never Enough
The Greatest Showman Ensemble Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m tryin' to hold my breath
Let it stay this way
Can′t let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Gettin' louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
'Cause darling without you

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it′ll
Never be enough
Never be enough

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it′ll
Never be enough
Never be enough

For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me





For me

Overall Meaning

The song Never Enough, as performed by The Greatest Showman Ensemble, is a powerful ballad that talks about the intense yearning for something that seems elusive, no matter how much effort is exerted to try and grasp it. The lyrics capture the yearning, as the singer tries to hold their breath and prolong the moment, fearful that it would end. There is a dream in them that the music perfectly captures, with the melody getting louder and louder until it becomes an echoing sound. As the singer takes the hand of their partner, they are asking them to share in this moment, understanding that without them, all the achievements they have accomplished would pale in comparison.


The chorus is quite an emotional moment, as the singer expresses that no amount of success or material wealth can ever be enough to satisfy their desire. The shine of a thousand spotlights and the stars they steal from the night sky will never be enough. Even the towers of gold are too little, and their hands could hold the world, but it would never be enough. The song then repeats the same lines with a different emphasis to give it a deeper meaning. The singer emphasizes that it is never enough for them, expressing the endless craving for something they could not quite grasp.

Carole Sang

El aliento contener
Quiero conservar
No puede terminar
Sembraste un sueño en mí
Lo dejé crecer
¿Podés verlo florecer?
Al mirar
Empiezo a dudar
¿Será suficiente?
Ni si mi voz dejara huella
O asombrara hasta a las estrellas
Ni si fuera así
Alcanza para mí
Aunque quiebre las cadenas
La ambición es mi condena
Me reclama más
No me alcanzará
Jamás
Aún con miedo
Al deseo
Siempre
Lo perseguí
Lo reprimí
Y resistí
Un dolor ruin
Que estalló en mí
Con apenas solo un segundo
En mi palma sostengo el mundo
Eso y tanto más
Nunca alcanzará
A mi lado el sol camina
Sus rayos ante mí se inclinan
Pero me da igual
Si extravíe la felicidad
Esta vida
Ya no es mía
Perdí la libertad
Suelo sentir
Duelo y frío
Crecer en mí
El vacío
Que escondí
Callé
Y sonreí
Mentí

No
Logró comprender
Nunca experimenté amor igual
Y sin nada esperar
Sin condición me amo
Me traspaso su dulce voz
Me salvo, descanso me dio
Hoy el es mi todo
Su mirada sano mis heridas
Trajo paz y calmo mi alma
Y que mirada es esa 2
El me amo sin condiciones
No se avergüenza ni me juzga
Y que amor es ese 2
Por mi
Nunca nadie 2
Nadie me amo asi
Nadie me amo 3
Asi
Como el 2
Hoy es mi nuevo comienzo
A su lado para siempre
Seguire sus pasos
Yo seguire sus pasos
Por que el me amo primero
No se avergüenza ni me juzga



은유

숨을 참았죠 나는
그대로 있어줘요 이 순간 끝나기 까지

날 꿈꾸게 한 당신
점점 커져가는 울림소리 들리나요

내 손 잡아요 나와 함께 웃어요
시간이 있으면

나를 비추는 수많은 조명
밤하늘 별을 가져도 행복할 수 없어
행복할 수 없어

황금의 탑 원하지 않아요
온세상 내가 다 준대도

행복할 수 없어
행복할 수 없어
나는

Never never
never never
Never 내겐

Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
내겐 내겐 내겐

나를 비추는 수많은 조명
밤하늘 별을 가져도 행복할 수 없어
행복할 수 없어

황금의 탑 원하지 않아요
온세상 내가 다 준대도

행복할 수 없어
행복할 수 없어
나는

Never never
never never
Never 내겐

Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
내겐 내겐 내겐

행복할 수 없어 행복할 수 없어 나는
Never never never never
Never 내겐 내겐
