If you want
a song that is full of emotion then listen to I’ve Had Enough. This song hops
around to all the different emotions that Jimmy is feeling at the moment. The
furthering of Jimmy’s breakdown is caused by something that probably won’t
surprise many people…a girl. He sees the girl that he likes out with his best
friend and something just snaps.
The first
emotion that Jimmy feels is anger, he is just pissed off at his luck and that
his life isn’t going the way that he wanted it too. I feel like during the
angry sections of I’ve Had Enough he is yelling at himself about how crap
everything is and how it’s all his fault. Jimmy sort of mentally beats himself
up about the way his life is going.
Then Jimmy
goes into a short I can do better section where he talks about being the
perfect Mod. It is like he rallies a bit and thinks if he does everything right
and becomes the model Mod then he might be able to win the girl back. This
feeling doesn’t really last long.
Lastly,
Jimmy slides right into full on depression. He basically says that he is tired
of everything, he is giving up. I love realistic this segment is; I can image
someone saying these lines over and over in their head or even out loud. The
desperation comes through in the vocals and conveys that the feelings that
Jimmy is having is not something to take lightly.
I think
that it is really interesting how the emotions don’t go in a straight line;
they circle around until they end with depression. It makes the whole breakdown
seem more real. Thoughts don’t happen in a point A to point B sort of way, they
weave around each other affecting/creating each other. I’ve Had Enough really
demonstrates how Jimmy’s mind is working at this point in time.
In the end
Jimmy is pushed over the edge and he crashes his scooter. You get to hear the
sound of the crash happening at the end of the song along with Roger screaming
the last line. This is such an interesting way to end the I’ve Had Enough, it
shows that the feelings took over Jimmy and this is the consequence. Plus it
sounds cool.
End of disc
