Never satisfied by Scotty Sire (2024)

Yep
I had a good thing going, damn
I should′ve known it
I should've slowed down to stop and smell the roses
But instead I kept moving, cared losing
Tried to find a moment while I′m busy running though it
Always forming questions like whether or not the seconds
I'm spending are worth it, trying to make things perfect

Going back to seconds,
Never taking a second to realize every second is precious (It is)

I keep on reaching for more, of something that I cannot take
But what am I searching for?
Is every step just another mistake?

I won't stop for nothing
Unless it get me something
What′s the point of life?
I′m never satisfied
What have I been missing?

(Yeah)
Kinda funny that money don't buy me happiness
If it′s not sold in stores, how do I get it then?
Get a momentary high when I'm having sex
But then it ends, okay, what′s next?
Instead of counting over my blessings,
I'm stessin′ over someone else's successes
And I'm regretting decisions, non-stop
And to clean up my mess, I′m owning up to confess ′em
I never really knew what I was missing

I keep on reaching for more, of something that I cannot take
But what am I searching for?
Is every step just another mistake?

I won't stop for nothing
Unless it get me something
What′s the point of life?
I'm never satisfied
What have I been missing?

All I want to do is slow down
Instead of runnin′ into the letdowns
I just trying to make the moments count
Doesn't matter where I′m goin' now
I don't wanna go back
To lettin′ all the time past
Without making all the moments count
I′m tryin' but I don′t know how
To finally stop a way and write all my mistakes
And take the time to write my story
So show me what it takes to stop it before I break
And appreciate when I'm ignorin′
So help me see what life could be
If I didn't care about numbers of a screen
So what′s it even me? The money and the dream
When the greatest things in life are free

I won't stop for nothing
Unless it get me something (Unless it get me something)
What's the point of life? (What′s the point of life?)
I′m never satisfied (Satisfied)
What have I been missing?
I won't stop for nothing
Unless it get me something
What′s the point of life?

I'm never satisfied
What have I been missing?

In Scotty Sire's song Never Satisfied, the artist explores themes of ambition and the search for happiness. He references his own personal experiences with constantly striving for success and trying to achieve perfection, while neglecting to appreciate the present moment. He admits to being so focused on the future and trying to attain material possessions that he forgets to focus on the things that truly matter.

Sire uses metaphors throughout the song, such as "stop and smell the roses," to illustrate the importance of slowing down and enjoying the journey instead of always trying to get to the destination. He also reflects on the idea that money and external success do not necessarily lead to happiness, as illustrated in the lines, "Kinda funny that money don't buy me happiness, If it's not sold in stores, how do I get it then?"

The chorus acts as a mantra for Sire, as he repeatedly sings "I'm never satisfied" which captures the overarching theme of the song. He is constantly in search of more, never content with what he has achieved, and he recognizes that this way of functioning can be detrimental to his overall well-being.

Scotty Sire's song Never Satisfied has resonated with many listeners, particularly those who struggle with balancing ambition and the search for happiness. The song also exposes the idea that the music industry often promotes a culture of constant striving and perfectionism, which can ultimately lead to anxiety and burnout.

Yep
Affirmative response to something previously mentioned

I had a good thing going, damn
I regret not realizing that things were good the way they were

I should've known it
I should have realized things were good the way they were

I should've slowed down to stop and smell the roses
I should have taken a moment to appreciate what I had

But instead I kept moving, cared losing
Instead of staying content, I was always trying to change and improve

Tried to find a moment while I'm busy running though it
I tried to find a moment to appreciate things, but was always too busy

Always forming questions like whether or not the seconds
I am always questioning whether the time I am spending is worth it

I'm spending are worth it, trying to make things perfect
I am always trying to make things perfect instead of enjoying them for what they are

Going back to seconds,
Reflecting on past moments

Never taking a second to realize every second is precious (It is)
I am always looking ahead instead of realizing and appreciating the current moment

I keep on reaching for more, of something that I cannot take
I keep trying to obtain more, even though there is a limit to what I can physically have

But what am I searching for?
I am questioning what I am truly seeking

Is every step just another mistake?
I am questioning if every decision I make is leading me in the wrong direction

I won't stop for nothing
I am determined to keep moving forward

Unless it get me something
Unless there is a benefit or reward

What's the point of life?
I am questioning the purpose of life

I'm never satisfied
I am never content with what I have

What have I been missing?
I am questioning what I have been overlooking or neglecting

Kinda funny that money don't buy me happiness
It is ironic that money cannot bring happiness

If it's not sold in stores, how do I get it then?
If happiness cannot be bought, how do I obtain it?

Get a momentary high when I'm having sex
Feel temporary pleasure during sexual activity

But then it ends, okay, what's next?
The pleasure is only temporary and I am back to feeling unsatisfied

Instead of counting over my blessings,
Instead of being grateful for what I have

I'm stessin' over someone else's successes
I am worried about the success of others, rather than my own contentment

And I'm regretting decisions, non-stop
I am constantly regretting past decisions

And to clean up my mess, I'm owning up to confess 'em
I am taking responsibility for my mistakes and trying to make things right

I never really knew what I was missing
I never fully understood what I was neglecting or lacking

All I want to do is slow down
I desire to take a break and appreciate the moment

Instead of runnin' into the letdowns
Instead of being disappointed with the outcome

I just trying to make the moments count
I am trying to cherish and make the most of each moment

Doesn't matter where I'm goin' now
It does not matter where I end up in life

I don't wanna go back
I do not want to look back with regret

To lettin' all the time past
To waste my time in the past

Without making all the moments count
Without taking the opportunity to cherish and appreciate each moment

I'm tryin' but I don't know how
I am making an effort but am unsure how to truly appreciate the moment

To finally stop a way and write all my mistakes
To take the time to reflect on my mistakes

And take the time to write my story
To take the time to reflect on my life and the decisions I have made

So show me what it takes to stop it before I break
I am asking for help to prevent myself from becoming overwhelmed and potentially breaking down

And appreciate when I'm ignorin'
To appreciate and notice the moments I may have overlooked or ignored

So help me see what life could be
I need help to see life in a different way

If I didn't care about numbers of a screen
If I did not care about social media and online validation

So what's it even me? The money and the dream
What is my identity? Is it tied to money and material success?

When the greatest things in life are free
The most valuable and meaningful things in life do not have a monetary value
