Never Enough

I'm so fed up with everyone around me
No one seems to care
I'm just so far gone and nothings gonna change
I'll never be the same
It's always do this, do that, everything they want to
I don't wanna live that way
Every chance they get they're always pushing me away

It's never enough, no it's never enough
No matter what I say
It's never enough, no it's never enough
I'll never be what you want me to be

It's all so messed up and no one ever listens
Everyone's deranged
I'm just so fucked up and I'm never gonna change
I wanna lay it all to waste
They're always say this, say that, nothing that you want to
I don't wanna live that way
Every chance they get they're always shoving me aside

It's never enough, no it's never enough
No matter what I say
It's never enough, no it's never enough
I'll never be what you want me to be
I'M DONE!

In the end we're all just chalk lines on the concrete
Drawn only to be washed away
For the time that I've been given
I am what I am

I'd rather hate you for everything you are
Than ever love you for something you are not
I'd rather you hate me for everything I am
Than have you love me for something that I can't

It's never enough, it's never enough
No matter what I say
It's never enough, no it's never enough
No matter who I try to be
It's never enough, no it's never enough
No matter how I try to taste
It's never enough, never never enough
I'll never be what you want me to be

Five Finger Death Punch 2008

Five Finger Death Punch was formed in 2005 by Hungarian guitarist, Zoltan Bathory. The band was named "Five Finger Death Punch" as a tribute to Hong-Kong Kung-Fu cinema. 5FDP just found its way onto my play list. I was actually asked to post this song and dissect it.

You can see in the video this song is about dysfunction. The adultress mom, the drug-addict cop dad and the murderer son end the video in a burning picture of the "perfect" family. I personally don't think the perfect family exists. Every family has some dysfunction. Going beyond that theme this song to me talks about how we never feel good enough for something. Either we aren't good enough to get the person we lust for, we can't get the job we so want because we aren't smart enough or we aren't the parent we think we should be.

Sometimes we get the feeling nothing is good enough by the response of others around us, you get the person who also has one up on you. They either do everything you do and have to try to do it better, or they have to know everything about everything. Every subject, every conversation they have the answer and are experts on the subject. Often this will leave us feeling inadequate, and as if nothing will match up.

We get to a breaking point where we have to decide if we can take the step away or if it causes a bad ending for us. In the song you hear the singer say "For the time that I've been given I am what I am" this sounds to be a turning point in the singers decision. Something in them has made them decide they are not going to be what everyone else wants them to be. They would rather be hated and be themselves than be someone they aren't.

I think this song just totally supports my attitude..... If you don't like it, don't talk to me.
