Chorus:

All the shine of a thousand spotlights

All the stars we steal from the night sky

Will never be enough

Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little

These hands could hold the world but it'll

Never be enough

“All the shine of a thousand spotlights” is a big image.

What do the spotlights stand for? Why aren’t they enough for her?

She also says, “All the stars we steal from the night sky.”

Why do you think she talks about stealing stars? What does this tell us about how much she wants?

The phrase “Never be enough” is repeated a lot.

Why do you think the singer keeps saying this over and over?

She sings, “Towers of gold are still too little.”

What does she mean? Why wouldn’t gold be enough?

“These hands could hold the world but it’ll never be enough.”

What does this line mean? What’s she really trying to say?
