The lyrics "Long until the heavens relieve us" are incorrect. He actually says "Long exhale to heaven relieve us". Also the lyrics "And cry pouring motion down" I think are wrong. He says "And cry and pour emotion down". Also the lyrics "Without you gray and brown" are actually "Without you, brittle, gray and brown". Also "So why am I can carry on to" is actually "So I and mine can carry on to". Also, "The sky will understand" should be "We pray, the sky will understand". Other than correcting the mistakes in the posted lyrics, I would just like to say this is an amazing song, and my favorite off the album :) |

| Sonoio – Enough Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| I don’t interpret this song as being about mental illness at all. When I listen to it I feel many of the lyrics apply to my own life and feelings and parts of the lyrics could apply to many normal people . I see it as someone paralyzed by anxiety. The remedy could suggest a way to escape from a temporarily unsatisfied and anxious life. I think the remedy could be a new love, a new passion, or in the absence of the finding of such a new hope, using a coping remedy to escape an unsatisfied reality such as drugs or alcohol. All of these avenues allow one to become another version of yourself, for better or worse. In terms of the remedy being not as good as it used to be, maybe that references drug tolerance, or maybe finding new love that doesn’t match the level of a past love. In general I get the sense that the person is fed up, exasperated and discontent with the way things are and harbors a feeling of isolation, helplessness and hopelessness of moving on with life. Not believing in anything might reference love, or hope, or even god. And everything one does, all the toil one experiences, the loves lost, the pain, the anxiety over responsibilities ends up fading away in the end, and to little consequence which can make one feel like not even trying because engaging those things is like harming one’s self voluntarily. The sense I get is the person is fighting two different extremes: seeking out life, passion, relationships, as well as facing anxieties, failures or choosing avoidance of further pain, failure and anxiety at the cost of living life to the fullest. And as far as I can tell, the avoidance side is winning out, but that doesn’t mean he’s depressed. We all feel some of these inadequacies, fears, anxieties and exhaustion with life at certain points, but as is stated early on “I will be back tomorrow”. So I don’t feel that darkness will win out ultimately, but we all struggle with and face the challenges of life, and that is the message that comes through for me when I hear this song. That is, sometimes we are fed up and need to tune out the world and then start fresh and face the world anew the next day. | |

| Yeah, i totally agree. His music is so easy to relate to because he doesn't know the answers he's just laying out his inner conflicts which are very insightful. For some reason this reminded me of the book fahrenheit 451.. introspection and independent thought might mean you discover some unpleasant truths, but just because they may be unpleasant it doesn't mean there is no value in doing so. does that make sense? lol | |

I agree with Maxwell Blank, great interpretation: This, for me, was maybe the song I identified most with. after having my heart broken this last time. I came to believe that I'd never meet the one person I was meant to share my life with. I would periodically allow myself to feel hope--"little pieces bleeding through", and lose little bits of my sanity and soul every time. I suppose I'd resigned myself to being "all alone this time around". Maybe I need to be alone to learn the lesson I'm here to learn in this life. That being said, I've found a measure of peace. I have simply realized that love(as Hallmark defines it) is completely random, like train wrecks and lotteries-- completely out of our ability to control or influence. Instead of trying to fill the hole in your life, be the one who fills the holes of others, with kindness. It's the only way out. |

I agree with Maxwell Blank, well put: This, I think, is part of the realization that the answers you desperately hoped you could find in someone else can only be found within. This is the probably the hurtiest part-- right after the heartbreak, after you're told it'll never work, that you'll only ever be friends. You put on a brave, brave face, trying with all your heart to believe in it, but it's just a facade waiting to crumble. Honesty with yourself brings it down all the faster, and it *must* happen, or you lose your mind. I know this because I just lived through it. Kindness to others is the only way out. |

I have to agree with BLEEDTHROUGH's interpretation, but in my own words: This song is about dependency and the fear that you ARE STILL just the same disgrace you always have been and you just feel good right now because you are using a relationship with a girl/whoever to make you feel good and part of something worth while. "She turns me on, She makes me real My life, it seems, has taken a turn Why in the name of God would I ever want to return? Peel off our skin, we're gonna burn what we were to the ground Fuck in the fire, and we'll spread all the ashes around." He wants to forget his past and move into a new reality of happiness with his girl and indulge in his new found love. You want to think you are genuinely a better person but at the same time fear returning to how you were if you lost her/the relationship. It's a song about using a relationship to make your life better. When he says "Now I just stare into the sun" I think he's saying he blinds himself with love and focuses only on how good and happy he is while ignoring who he was/still is and the problems he has deep down. He uses the love to forget his past and recreate himself with the relationship which is why i think this song is about dependency. |
