Enough
Skirmish: Enough (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
This one is a #skirmish with the simple prompt of #enough.
It is #dark and kind of #emo and #synth and not really what I expected it to be.
Fortunately, it didn't have a time limit, which was kind. It was pretty therapeutic to channel one word -- a word that has honestly been close to the top of my soul for a while -- in a way that was productive.
Enough: depression, anger, frustration, exhaustion, bitching, stunted dialogue, inhumanity, social media, perfection, fake perfection, AI generated art, madness, long days, work, guilt, overthinking, ennui, and everything else.
I created all the parts myself, other than an automated percussionist (that I then messed around with considerably) using Logic.
Lyrics
Enough Enough of darkness Enough Enough of doubt
Enough Enough of silence When you need to scream it out.
Enough Enough of this Enough of waiting for the perfect kind of bliss.
Enough Enough of you Pressed against the glass Like everything is through.
How much have you known How much have you grown While sitting in the darkness? Oh we can see, We know That time can only flow In a shape of sharpness.
Enough Enough of this Enough of waiting for the perfect kind of bliss Enough Rumination Enough of your Self-led abdication
Enough We don’t have to be omniscient To know you are sufficient Enough You are enough

You are enough !!! 🙌 Really like how this evolves and particularly how it takes form in the section from around 2:13 to the end with elements coming together and how the energy builds.
Love the soundscape and how the vocal wanders through it. Love the way the refrain lifts the melody and expands out later in the song. Hauntingly beautiful.
Wonderful musical soundscape and I really like the darkness. Gorgeous vocals and those backing vocals are placed so beautifully in the mix. I like the kind of dystopian melody also - so fitting. I really like you "enough" list - very relatable. the last verse is a great way to end it - love how you built the vocals towards the end. Super cool song.
Really nice voice and track! It has a nice feel to it. I really like the lyrics too! Great skirmish!
Really like the low synth. The whole song too but especially enjoyed it because of those!
