Not Enough

from Not Enough by Nihil Admirari

/

about

Much to the understanding of those that came to the first live performances of this track when Nihil Admirari was a simple acoustic rock duet, the story of the creation of this track goes that Vabo and Noshi wrote the entirety of the music, chords, lyrics and form in a single one hour writing session in Noshi's living room; the very first rehearsal the two ever had together since meeting.

lyrics

I wanna be who I thought I loved just a minute ago
But life has a way of only taking all that I'd been dreaming of
Because I tight what's right
I fight for the wrong in things
I lie to myself
I lie for the simple things
I do what I want
I only look straight ahead
And don't see what's happening

Is this all there is?
Give me something more
Living is less than bliss
Sometimes all the people you believe in
They use what they want
They take all my everything

So all that time I spent
I just wasted
So where do I go
Just what am I thinking when
Too much ain’t enough

I wanna be who I thought I knew just a minute ago
But somehow anyway I’m looking at a wall of doubt of who I was
Because they told me so
They told me that I’m worthless
And they control you
They control all the media
They do what they want
They only look straight ahead
And don’t care about us

Is this all there is?
Give me something more
Living is less than bliss
Sometimes all the people you believe in
They use what they want
He takes all my everything

So all that time I spent
I’ve just wasted
So where do I go
Just what am I thinking when
Too much ain’t enough

Reach out to the atmosphere and take what you see
Speak of the ether in which life transceeds
Hold onto the oneness and endure drudgery
One day you’ll be jeweled and all that’s clear will come to be

Is this all there is?
Give me something more
Living is less than bliss
Not so quietly
I shake away the madness
Take it all from me
Because sometimes all the people you believed in
They use what they want
Desert and forget me
Because what you do
Is everything you’re made of
And too much ain’t enough

FIGHT THE PAIN
FIGHT THE HATE
FIGHT THE DARKNESS THAT WE LIVE IN

FIGHT THE PAIN
FIGHT THE HATE
FIGHT THE DARKNESS THAT WE LIVE IN

Nihil Admirari New York, New York

We've been together for 4+ years now, living and working in NYC through school, in the work force, on the grind and through the pandemic. But we're a trio, and we want to be a quartet. Only then will be fully become what this band was meant to be.

We are Nihil Admirari, a Post Punk rock bank with our own rules and our own way of doing things.
