From the song
Enough بس by SNX
The refrain is a split in one breath: I only want to cry for myself, I can't do anything, I want to forget, I want to leave. The verses ask question after question: why does our love still pulse, why can't we part and carry on, why do I laugh alone like a fool when I see you, why do I feel there is nobody else in the world when we are together, why do I still fear when someone says your name? A spoken English passage describes escaping a room he thought he would never leave, with his mind racing.
Deeper meaning
The trap of a love that is over but not finished. "Bas" means both "enough" and "but", and the song lives in that double meaning. Staying hurts and leaving hurts, and the questions go unanswered.
