about

I researched culture-bound syndrome’s for ‘Never Enough’ – These are a combination of psychiatric and somatic symptoms, recognised only within a specific society or culture. Transmission of the disease is determined by cultural reinforcement and person to person interaction, I felt like this was an interesting topic for a song. The subject helped me pull together lines along with my own notes on ageing, self-doubt and the idea of cultural isolation. It all sounds very depressing but I hope there’s still lots of light in the lines, such as when Aimee suggests the idea of reframing the situations you find yourself in when you’re struggling.

lyrics

You're feeling older,
We've both been living strange,
I've been trapped in bed for days

You can be cold but,
You can't hide your pain
I know you're scared of change

Take control
Take control
Take control
You stare for hours at the ceiling,
Take control
Take control
Take control
You always like to talk too much,
Take control
Take control
Take control
Interaction leaves you bitter,
Take control
Take control
Take control
Do you always feel afraid?

Scared to lose control
Culture bound alone
Decades on your own
Culture bound alone

When this pains over,
Your heart won't beat the same
In troubled times, reframe

If you feel happy - for a moment, of the day
Do you forget your shame?

I hate this place, I hate the world when it's not on your side, you're living strange, but you're the one

Scared to lose control
Culture bound alone

Decades on your own
Culture bound alone
