Perhaps it's about someone he really cared for who had a lot of money and could afford great, fancy things, but in the end it wasn't enough because it was loveless. Or maybe it is meant to be through the eyes of one of these rich Wall Street sophisticate types in New York who just throw all the cash around with dazzle, but in the end it's not enough. The human condition, or the condition of being an "American". By not having enough he might mean the opposite, always wanting more. Still, he croons like it's a song about being brokenhearted, and so I wonder if it is both.
Love the song and the lyrics. The way he sings, "i still feel like hell, it's not enough" makes me cringe. It shakes my soul for sure.
