Enough

From Ashes To New's song 'Enough' delves into the emotional turmoil and suffocation experienced in a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels trapped and overwhelmed by the constant conflict and negativity. The opening lines suggest a sense of entrapment, where the protagonist feels forced into a corner, contemplating leaving but realizing that staying would not change anything. This sets the stage for the recurring theme of suffocation and the desperate need for space to breathe.

The chorus amplifies this feeling of being overwhelmed, with the repeated plea for room to breathe. The protagonist is not only battling external conflicts but also internal demons, which are tearing them apart. The line 'Something inside me feels like it's dying' captures the essence of the emotional decay and exhaustion that comes from prolonged strife. The mention of 'faded lens' and 'bottom of a bottle' indicates a struggle with depression and possibly substance abuse as a means of coping with the pain.

As the song progresses, there is a shift towards a resolution. The protagonist acknowledges the need to let go of the past and the hold it has on them. The repeated phrase 'Let it go, let it die' signifies a crucial turning point where they decide to break free from the toxic cycle. This act of letting go is portrayed as the only way to survive and move forward. 'Enough' is a powerful anthem of self-liberation, capturing the raw emotions of someone who has reached their breaking point and is ready to reclaim their life from the clutches of a destructive relationship.
