Never Enough For You

Toque Rocks' song 'Never Enough For You' delves into the emotional turmoil of a toxic relationship where one partner's efforts are perpetually undervalued. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a cycle of abuse and reconciliation, where the protagonist is constantly beaten down and then pulled back in, only to be discarded again. This cyclical nature is highlighted in the lines, 'Yeah, you beat me up, then you put me down / Then you love me in, you throw me out,' illustrating the relentless emotional rollercoaster the protagonist endures.

The song's chorus, 'No, it's not enough / It's never enough for you,' serves as a powerful mantra that underscores the central theme of inadequacy and unfulfilled expectations. Despite the protagonist's best efforts to meet their partner's demands, nothing seems to suffice. This sense of futility is further emphasized in the verse, 'Well, I did my best just to take your worst / All the blood I gave [could aquent your fuss]?' Here, the protagonist's sacrifices and pain are laid bare, yet they are met with betrayal and dissatisfaction.

In the latter part of the song, there is a shift in tone as the protagonist begins to reclaim their self-worth. The lines, 'You think you won, but I'm nobody's fool / Won't be taken down by the loss of you,' signify a turning point where the protagonist decides to stand their ground and break free from the toxic cycle. This declaration of independence and resilience is a powerful message about self-respect and the importance of recognizing one's value, even when others fail to do so.
