"Too Much, Enough" by Nation of Language

The last time I posted about Nation of Language, here, I enthusiastically compared them to beloved 80s synth bands like Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, The Human League, and even a bit of New Order. And their new song, "Too Much, Enough" carries on the synth sound I dearly love.

I pretend it’s fine - really alright
But I hear the sighing
Bleeding into the room
Prone to selfish revision
The details may be light
Destination’s known
It comes as no surprise
The collision
I can brace myself for the alarm
The decision
I debate myself, break myself
All for what?

So predictable
Too much, enough
A talk show that cannot help but hurt
Swimming in sweat
Television set
Too much, enough
Too much, enough
Too much, enough

Experts standing by
Ten at a time
Kindly remind me
To take some time
I’d like to breathe and consider
A gentler redesign
Expectations low
But that’s not what I like
It’s just

So predictable
Too much, enough
A talk show that cannot help but hurt
Swimming in sweat
Television set
Too much, enough
Too much, enough
Too much, enough

Neverending ride
Open my eyes
If I need reminding
