Moaning Lisa Smile Lyrics

Clinging to love, escape a father and mother
She offers some other way out of the hole
She's overachieving, chasing her dreams
And coming down slowly, yeah, it's out of control

(Ah) Scrap the blues, if the blues don't work
Flash your teeth, though the inside hurts
(Ah) it's time to glow, lose your way
To make you feel better just because you feel worse

All of the books and all in a boat and
Nowhere to run, God, this is out of control
You wait for something to undo these feelings
Waiting and waiting but it's out of control

(Ah) Scrap the blues, if the blues don't work
Flash your teeth, though the inside hurts
(Ah) it's time to glow, lose your way
To make you feel better just because you feel worse

(Ah)
(Ah)
It never is enough
No, it never is enough
It never is enough
No, it never is enough

What is the Meaning of Moaning Lisa Smile?

Exploring themes of emotional turmoil and the search for solace, this song delves into the complexities of human resilience. The protagonist grapples with familial escape and overachievement, seeking an elusive sense of fulfillment. Despite her efforts to chase dreams and find alternative paths, she remains ensnared in a cycle of dissatisfaction. The lyrics suggest a façade of happiness—"flash your teeth, though the inside hurts"—highlighting the dissonance between outward appearances and internal struggles. Ultimately, the repeated line "it never is enough" underscores a pervasive sense of inadequacy and unfulfilled longing. This narrative poignantly captures the tension between aspiration and reality, illustrating how attempts to mask inner pain often lead to greater disillusionment. #EmotionalStruggle #FacadeOfHappiness #UnfulfilledLonging
