Enough

Ghastly's song 'Enough' delves into the complexities of communication and emotional disconnect in relationships. The recurring theme of 'conversations' being 'overrated' suggests a sense of frustration with superficial or unproductive dialogue. The lyrics convey a feeling of being out of time, indicating that the opportunity for meaningful connection has passed. This sentiment is further emphasized by the repetition of the phrase 'now we're out of time,' underscoring a sense of urgency and finality.

The song also explores the struggle between wanting to be saved and the resistance to it. The lines 'And you try to save me / But I wouldn't let you' reflect a conflict between vulnerability and self-preservation. The narrator acknowledges that they did what they had to do to avoid wasting time, suggesting a pragmatic approach to ending the relationship. This pragmatic approach, however, is tinged with regret, as indicated by the line 'A part of me wanted to still cry.' This duality captures the emotional complexity of letting go while still feeling the weight of unspoken emotions.

When tomorrow comes, the narrator anticipates a facade of happiness, as seen in 'And you see me smile / Don't ask me how it's been / It's been a while.' This facade is a coping mechanism to mask the underlying pain and disappointment. The repeated lifting up and letting down metaphorically represents the highs and lows of the relationship, culminating in a sense of betrayal and emotional exhaustion. Ghastly's use of electronic beats and haunting melodies further amplifies the song's emotional depth, making 'Enough' a poignant reflection on the challenges of communication and emotional resilience in relationships.
