In this hauntingly beautiful track, Florence explores the tension between desire and fulfillment, suggesting that our yearnings often remain insatiable despite how much we accumulate or achieve. The lyrics oscillate between moments of introspection and bold declarations, capturing the human struggle with never feeling quite satisfied. The repeated line "Too much is never enough" serves as a poignant reminder of the endless pursuit of more—be it time, experiences, or emotional depth—highlighting our intrinsic quest for meaning in an ever-changing life. #FlorenceAndTheMachine #NeverEnough
Too Much Is Never Enough
Lyrics
And the crown it weighs heavy
'Till it's banging on my eyelids
Retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldn't say I need more time
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
Oh, you wondrous creature
Coming up who we are
'Cause I'm retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
And who decides from where up high (one other year, a hundred flags flying in a field)
I couldn't say I need more time (one day, felt it let go of me)
Oh, grant that I can stay the night (one other year, a hundred flags flying in a field)
Or one more day inside this life (one day, felt it let go of me)
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what, maybe Luna had it right
And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
So what, 'least I have the strength to fight
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
A hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
