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

Low Hummer are a 6 piece from Hull who make danceable, synth-heavy post-punk. They write about feelings of alienation in a modern world of consumerism and societal pressures from the safety of their band home - the New Adelphi Club.
