Sooo... What is Wookiefoot ?!? ("...it's a thought that's existing...")
... A Band?? Psychedelic Circus?! Artist collective??? Globe trekking Bliss Junkies?!?!.... Well, it’s all this and more…a high energy magical phenomenon sustained by a large beautiful family of players and believers. We are ordinary people being supported to do extraordinary things. Witnessing so many people around us discover their gifts, and providing an outlet for this spontaneous energy to erupt, remain our inspiration and joy that fuel this ship. We will drive this bus seeking this energy where ever it exists and resonate it where ever we are !! Thank you all for trusting us with this sacred play and believing us into whatever we wish to be in the moment. No matter where we are on the planet.... this is our home....and you will find us here.

Enough
Wookiefoot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But i'm amazed at how quickly the hunger is leaving my eye
Oh i think its time to
Put you in a box in the clear bubble wrap
And store you in the garage next to this or to that
And we smile cause the pile it mile high in a stack
And the only thing i'm lacking is the thing that i lack
Ten thousand years ago our fathers went astray
They made their own bondage just to find an easier way
I've had enough
Eventually must seem to be enough
But it's never quite enough
Do you remember when we first met i was just five years old
You were a big shiny toy and i would have sold my soul
You know it only took a couple years till want turned into need
And greed grew a twisted tree from such a simple seed
Time to put you in the box in the clear bubble wrap
And i'll never be content without the thing that i lack which is enough
Necesitamos cuidado con la verdad que compramos
Cosas y mas cosas es el dios de los estados
Iglesias esta en el centro de ciudades de latinos
Aqui en el centro solo hay mercados
Ten thousand years ago our fathers went astray
Sacrificing the balance around in pursuit of an easier way
You think you've got what its about
You think its about what you've got
The pot has been boiling so slowly
No ones even getting hot
I've had enough
The lyrics of the song "Enough" by Wookiefoot explore the theme of materialism and greed. The first verse talks about the initial excitement of acquiring a new possession, but how quickly that excitement fades away, leaving a sense of emptiness. The idea of "putting it in a box in the clear bubble wrap" and storing it away in the garage reflects the transience and disposability of material belongings. The chorus repeats the line "the only thing I'm lacking is the thing that I lack, which is enough", touching on the idea that there's always something more that we feel we need to attain, but in reality, what we truly need is contentment in the present moment.
The second verse takes a historical perspective, referencing "our fathers" who went "astray" ten thousand years ago by getting caught up in a cycle of materialism and exploitation. The lyrics suggest that this pattern has continued through to the present day, where consumerism and the pursuit of material wealth have become the new religion. The Spanish verse introduces the idea that our perception of reality is shaped by the information we consume and that we need to be careful about what we believe. The last line of the song, "I've had enough" represents a breaking point, a realization that the cycle of wanting more and more is never-ending, and that ultimately, true fulfillment comes from finding contentment in what we already have.

I'm going to pack you away and store you in the garage with all the other things I have accumulated. I have so much stuff that I smile at how high the pile is, but I realize that I lack something essential - contentment.
Ten thousand years ago our fathers went astray

I've had enough
Our ancestors went down the wrong path, giving up their freedom for a more comfortable life. I'm done with this mentality of constant consumerism.
Eventually must seem to be enough
But it's never quite enough
Although we hope that eventually we will have enough, we never seem to reach that point.

And i'll never be content without the thing that i lack which is enough
I remember when I first became entranced with material objects, even willing to give up my soul for them. Soon, my want turned into need, and greed took deep root. It's time to put these objects in storage, but I know I will never truly be happy without finding contentment in what I already have.

We need to be careful about the lies we are sold by consumerism. In our country, it seems like the pursuit of material goods has become the new religion. Even in the city centers of Latino communities, all we see are markets selling more things.
Sacrificing the balance around in pursuit of an easier way
You think you've got what its about
You think its about what you've got
The pot has been boiling so slowly
No ones even getting hot
I've had enough
In our quest for convenience, we have sacrificed the balance in our lives. We think that having many possessions is what makes us happy, but in reality, the pot is boiling slowly, and no one is even feeling the heat. I'm done with this constant chase after more.
