Hunger
Black Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Holding on your lazy arms, get up out of bed
There's vanity in the holes from which we bled
Your armies have come and gone, silence on the battle ground
This insurgence was just enough to see them drown

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim...

Take me to your mountain; tear down the waterfall
It's calming me; listen, you can hear it call
So put a coin inside your mouth, and wade out to your knees
You crumble down and give yourself to the sea

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim...

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water
You wanna swim...

You wanna swim...

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water





You wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Light Burns's song "New Hunger" seem to be referring to a sense of urgency and a call to action. The opening lines urge someone to get up out of bed and stop being lazy, while also hinting at past wounds and battles. The chorus repeats the phrase "you wanna swim with us, you've gotta get to the water," which could be interpreted as a challenge or invitation to join in on something important, but only if the person is willing to take action and actually get involved.


The second verse begins with the idea of going to a mountain and tearing down a waterfall. This could be seen as a metaphor for breaking down barriers or obstacles that are preventing someone from fully experiencing life or taking part in something important. The line "put a coin inside your mouth" is a reference to the ancient Greek practice of placing a coin in the mouth of the deceased to pay Charon, the ferryman who transports souls across the River Styx. This suggests a theme of death and rebirth, or perhaps facing fears and taking risks in order to move forward.

Lyrics:

Peace is a long time coming
Peace is my prayer for this earth
Bloodshed grows on this earth
Famine is everywhere
And life is getting harder

Let’s wake up, all together
And take action before it’s too late
Bloodshed grows, famine increases
Sons of the earth must rise up together
To prevent this before it’s too late

Life is getting harder on earth
Bloodshed grows and hunger is upon us
It’s late, in the night, the stars sparkle
I wake up suddenly because I cannot sleep
So much I am suffering for humanity.

Bloodshed grows, famine increases
Sons of the earth must rise up together
To prevent this before it's too late

Life is getting harder on earth
Bloodshed grows and hunger is upon us
It's late, in the night, the stars sparkle
I wake up suddenly because I cannot sleep
So much I am suffering for humanity

Lyrics:

chin chin is a long time coming
Franku is my prayer for this earth
Chromosome grows in this realm
Memes is everywhere
And life is getting filthy

Let’s wake up, all together
And make ramen before it’s too late
Chin Chin grows, sacrifices increases
Sons of the ricefields must rise up together
To prevent this before it’s too late

Life is getting harder on earth
Franku grows and hunger is upon us
It’s late, in the night, the pink guy sparkle
I wake up suddenly because I cannot sleep
Ore wa Chin Chin



@ridori7376

Chin Chin, my dark lord
Chin Chin, my unquestioned creator
Oh, how I praise you, Chin Chin
I slit the throats of my parents, I shall slit the throats of my whole family
I shall cleanse myself from this family filth
I don't need any bonds when I have you
From realm to realm
From city to city
You shall pass and conquer
Chin Chin is our lord

Ore wa ochinchin ga daisuki nandayo!

@sgtbaker2072

Hans Zimmer is ridiculously talented. So many of the best OSTs are his. The way he blends traditional ethnic instruments with synths and effects is a master class in production.
