The World Is Not Enough Lyrics
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much
The world is not enough
But it is such a perfect place to start, my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart, my love
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel the life
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will
I, I feel sick
I, I feel scared
I, I feel ready
And yet unprepared
The world is not enough
Maybe it's me, but I think the first lines are:
I know how to hurt I know how to HEAL
Anyone else hear it?
I know how to hurt, I know how to kill I know what to show and what to conceal
it starts out describing someone who is basically in "survival mode". You dont' let anyone close, you show what you need to to get what you want, you hurt when you need to, kill when you have to (not literally, its symbolism)
But then it goes into "No one ever died from wanting too much, the world is not enough, but it is a perfect place to start, my love" So the song shifts to symbolize finding love and taking a risk (ie. getting hurt). Kind of describes the feeling of first falling in love, where you feel powerful and alive and that you can do anything. The rest of the song just describes living like there's no tomorrow, that kind of thing.
I feel sick, i feel scared, i feel ready, yet unprepared
describes the feeling of doing something new or risky. Butterflies, anxious, yet excited and resolute.
"the world is not enough, but it is such a perfect place to start, my love. together we can take the world apart, my love." As in, I would give up this world for you, but even that wouldn't equal my love for you. So yeah, basically about new love, and the excitement and fear and strength you get from it.
Her voice was so haunting.
I don't know why, and I'm sure this isn't what she is referring to in the song, but this song makes me think of a female vampire who has just made a male fledgeling vampire and wants to be with him and they can have everything together. It's romantic in a sadistic way.
I thought it was 'no one ever died from wanting too much' which, i think makes the most sense. It's about a woman who wants everything, and believes that a certain man can help her. Definitely the best of all the 007 songs, and the first song that made me realise just how good her voice is. I think the line 'the world is not enough, but it is such a perfect place to start' is particularly funny. Can't you just imagine a psychotic woman who wants everything saying that?
Youmakemenevous>Yeah it is... I think it's about how to 'play the game' and then falling inlove... and you know the saying 'I'd give you the world' basically she's saying that it's not enough for her to just give him the world. In a way I get the feeling they are like evil geniuses in love ^^- It's awsome
This talks about extremely passionate and destructive love/sex, the kind we get to see in the movie between Electra and James.
Very good song.
youmakemenervous - Yeah, I hear "I know how to hurt, I know how to heal". :/
Other than that, beautiful song, and paralleled to James Bond, as was explained above.. :)
Wow this song is about the james bond movie and the main character/characters LOL. watch the movie with the same title it makes alot of sense
I thought (personally) that it was a song/story about some-one who was in love but lost it somehow and is now ready to destroy the world. (Killing herself and everyone else in video.)
