Whitey is an ongoing solo project by N.J. Whitey. He is a hard character to pin down- his genre-twisting songs swing wildly between styles, and his dismissive attitude towards the music industry means there are few shows, and even fewer interviews. He has to date had no major record deal, but has still released over 30 records under a variety of names. Yet without any significant industry investment his distinctive sounds have broken through to mainstream daytime radio in the U.S and elsewhere, and for four straight years his music has been a fixture from rock clubs to fashion runways, from movie soundtracks to television, computer games to skate films. From Japan to Iceland, Moscow to Hollywood. From Breaking Bad to the Sopranos to Grand Theft Auto. Gradually this cult U.K. artist has built a strange home in the shadowy ground between high fashion and mainstream entertainment, between pop radio and what little is left of the underground. An outsider who relishes this status, and celebrates this outsider ethos in his work.
He's lived in a variety of places, but you could say he finished growing up in Coventry, UK. He now lives in Los Angeles. He sings, programs, plays guitar, keys, bass and drums but has no formal qualifications and is totally self taught. His live shows are haphazard- some are an uplifting rhythmic experience, whilst some occur in deliberately darkened rooms and are hedonistic affairs drenched with chaotic walls of feedback and electronic noise. Others may swing from ferocious rock moments to gentle simple melodies played on tiny bells, acoustic guitars and toy instruments. There have been gigs with everyone from New Order to Iggy Pop, Soulwax to Peaches to the Undertones. He's as comfortable playing a sweaty NYC rock club as an Ibizan dance megaclub, and is one of the few artists regularly invited to play both.
Never Enough
Whitey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it stay this way
Can′t let this moment end
You set off a dream with me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
'Cause darlin' 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 enough
Never enough
For me, for me, for me
For me
The lyrics to Whitey's song "Never Enough" capture a sense of longing and yearning for something beyond what is currently attainable. The opening line, "I'm tryin' to hold my breath, let it stay this way," suggests a desire to prolong a moment or feeling, to savor it and not let it end. The singer expresses the belief that this particular moment is special and has the potential to fulfill a dream.
As the lyrics progress, the theme of insatiability becomes more apparent. The repetition of the phrase "never enough" emphasizes a deep sense of longing and dissatisfaction, despite the allure of fame and success. The comparison between the "shine of a thousand spotlights" and the "stars we steal from the night sky" symbolizes the desire for greatness and achieving extraordinary feats. However, no matter how much is attained, it will never be enough for the singer.
The mention of "towers of gold" being "still too little" further emphasizes the idea that material wealth and possessions cannot satisfy the singer's desires. The hands that could potentially hold the world highlight an immense capability and power, yet even that would fall short of fulfillment. The lyrics repeatedly emphasize the personal nature of this feeling, with the line "for me, never, never, never" underscoring the singer's individual sense of longing and dissatisfaction.
Overall, the lyrics to "Never Enough" explore the universal human experience of longing for something greater, something that can never be fully grasped or satisfied. It speaks to the persistent human desire for more, even in the face of success and achievement.

I'm tryin' to hold my breath
I am attempting to suspend my breath, hoping to prolong this moment
Let it stay this way
I wish for things to remain as they are
Can't let this moment end
I cannot bear to see this moment come to a close
You set off a dream with me
You have sparked a dream within me
Getting louder now
The sensations are intensifying
Can you hear it echoing?
Do you perceive the reverberation of my feelings?
Take my hand
Please hold my hand
Will you share this with me?
Would you be willing to experience this together?
'Cause darlin' without you
Because, my beloved, without you
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
The radiance of innumerable spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night sky
All the stars we surreptitiously claim from the darkness above
Will never be enough
Will never satisfy my desires
Towers of gold are still too little
Even towering structures made of gold fall short
These hands could hold the world
My hands have the strength to cradle the entire world
But it'll never be enough
Yet, it will always be insufficient
For me, never, never
In my case, it will never, never be enough
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me, for me
It will never be enough, specifically for me
Never enough
Always inadequate
For me, for me, for me
Particularly for me, solely for me

lyrics:
I am the ghost of myself
I must repeat what I've done
Repeat again and again
Go back to where I begun
There's nothing left I can say
So I'll repeat until fade
A little less every day
A word could blow me away
It's been so long, I can't remember
When
Seems I lost my smile
It's been so long, I can't remember
When
Seems I lost my smile
My smile, oh-oh
It's never enough
It's always too much
It's always the same, yeah
I'm always to blame
It's never enough
It's always too much
It's always the same, yeah
I'm always to blame
I'm always to blame
I'm always to blame
Who made this hole in my life?
Who came and ripped me apart?
Somebody turned off the lights
I think you know who you are
So I'm a ghost of myself
And I repeat what I've done
Go back again and again
Right back to where I begun
It's been so long, I can't remember
When
Seems I lost my smile
It's been so long, I can't remember
When
Seems I lost my smile (Seems I... I lost my smile)
(It seems I've lost my smile again)
My smile, oh-oh
(Oooh, ooh-whooh)
(Oooh, ooh-whooh)
It seems I've lost my smile again, oh-oh
It seems I've lost my smile again, oh-oh
It seems I've lost my smile again, oh-oh
It seems I've lost my smile again, oh-oh
It seems I've lost my smile again, oh-oh
It seems I've lost my smile again
It's never enough
It's always too much
It's always the same, yeah
I'm always to blame
It's never enough
It's always too much
It's always the same, yeah
I'm always to blame
I'm always to blame
I'm always to blame
