Not Enough Lyrics
Time has come, you think it’s over,
Yeah, you had enough.
Burned out and over-rated,
Time to give it up.
But then the spark ignites the flame,
And now you realise why you came.
You know it’s hardly over,
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
And you can’t live without it,
You can’t sleep ‘til you’ve got it.
There’s no way to ignore it
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You had thought you gave it up,
Just the breath before you gulp.
No use holding back now,
It’s not enough, not enough.
No need to justify it,
Don’t be afraid.
Back in another corner,
There’s another way.
Stop adding to your own oppression,
Time to give in to your own obsession.
You know it’s hardly over,
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
And you can’t live without it,
You can’t sleep ‘til you’ve got it.
There’s no way to ignore it
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You had thought you gave it up,
Just the breath before you gulp.
No use holding back now,
It’s not enough, not enough.
And you can’t live without it,
You can’t sleep ‘til you’ve got it.
There’s no way to ignore it
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You had thought you gave it up,
Just the breath before you gulp.
No use holding back now,
It’s not enough, not enough.
It’s not enough, It’s not enough,
It’s not enough, It’s not enough.
Just when you think it’s over,
You know it’s hardly over.
Just when you think it’s over,
You know... it’s not enough.
Yeah, you had enough.
Burned out and over-rated,
Time to give it up.
But then the spark ignites the flame,
And now you realise why you came.
You know it’s hardly over,
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You can’t sleep ‘til you’ve got it.
There’s no way to ignore it
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You had thought you gave it up,
Just the breath before you gulp.
No use holding back now,
It’s not enough, not enough.
Don’t be afraid.
Back in another corner,
There’s another way.
Stop adding to your own oppression,
Time to give in to your own obsession.
You know it’s hardly over,
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You can’t sleep ‘til you’ve got it.
There’s no way to ignore it
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You had thought you gave it up,
Just the breath before you gulp.
No use holding back now,
It’s not enough, not enough.
You can’t sleep ‘til you’ve got it.
There’s no way to ignore it
It’s not enough. (Not enough!)
You had thought you gave it up,
Just the breath before you gulp.
No use holding back now,
It’s not enough, not enough.
It’s not enough, It’s not enough.
Just when you think it’s over,
You know it’s hardly over.
Just when you think it’s over,
You know... it’s not enough.

This song is about alcoholism and addiction. I think this because it says "just the breath before you gulp". This is about a man who is trying to quit drinking but he can't. No matter how hard he tries it's not enough to stop. He gives in to his own wants and desires every time.
I agree, the lyrics seem to be about alcoholism. But it's more about addiction in general.

Those lines could just be about any kind of addiction, sex, drugs, booze, gambling etc. And the "breath before you gulp" line could also be that moment right before a person gives in. That moment of holding their breath and taking that leap.
