Enough for you

The Ache of Unreciprocated Love

Wisp's song 'Enough for you' delves into the emotional turmoil of unreciprocated love and the longing for validation. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels inadequate and unappreciated in a relationship. The opening lines, 'Always looking back at me / Golden skin turns to greed,' suggest a sense of self-reflection and the realization that their partner's affection has turned into something more selfish and less genuine. The metaphor of 'golden skin' turning to 'greed' implies a loss of purity and sincerity in the relationship.

The chorus, with its repeated questions, 'Why can't you need me? / Need me like I need you / Why can't you love me? / Love me like you used to,' highlights the protagonist's desperation for the love and attention they once received. This repetition underscores the pain of feeling unloved and the yearning for the past when the relationship was more fulfilling. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the struggle to understand why their partner's feelings have changed.

In the final verse, 'I want to feel like I belong / In my own skin / To be enough for you,' the protagonist expresses a desire for self-acceptance and to be valued for who they are. This line encapsulates the core message of the song: the struggle to feel 'enough' in the eyes of someone they love. The song resonates with anyone who has ever felt the sting of unreciprocated love and the quest for self-worth in the face of rejection.
