Appetite
Casey Edwards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What do you know?
Say, what do you what do you know?
And where do you go?
When you shut your eyes
You welcome disguise and
We can't let it go
You and I, no we can't let it go
You try to fit all of it every bit down down low
It's bubblin' tumblin' over the brink
You hide it as if it's your kink
But don't you think
It’s time to rewind share what's on your mind
You lie to me, try to be what I need
Build me up ‘til I concede you
Can be sweet
Use me abuse me and appease your greed
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite
You can't satisfy
That appetite when you're so high
And you can't untie
The monstrosity
From the person you wanna be
And just so you know
And just so you just so you know
You'll never fit all of it every bit down down low
It's bubblin' tumblin' over the brink
You hide it as if it's your kink
But don't you think
It’s time to rewind share what's on your mind
You lie to me try to be what I need
Build me up ‘til I concede you
Can be sweet
Use me abuse me and appease your greed
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite
You do what you wanna do
You chew me up and spit me out
I’ll be poison on your tongue and
I’ll be poison in your mouth
You do what you wanna do
You chew me up and spit me out
I’ll be poison on your tongue and
I’ll be poison in your mouth
You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite




You have such an appetite
You have such an appetite

Overall Meaning

The song "Appetite" by Casey Edwards is a poignant exploration of the dangers of succumbing to our self-destructive tendencies. The lyrics describe a person who is grappling with their own internal turmoil and is struggling to keep their emotions under control. They have built a facade that they present to the world, a disguise that hides their true feelings and desires. But this facade is slipping, and their emotions are bubbling over the brink. They have an insatiable "appetite," a craving to satisfy their desires, but they can't seem to find the satisfaction they seek. The lyrics suggest that this desire to feed their appetite is ultimately a futile one, as it can never be sated.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You have such an appetite" numerous times, reinforcing the idea that this craving is a driving force for the person described in the lyrics. The bridge of the song suggests that the person may be using someone else to try to satisfy their desires, reflecting the idea that self-destructive behavior can often harm others as well as ourselves. The song ends on a haunting note, with the repeated line "I'll be poison in your mouth," emphasizing the toxic nature of the relationship between the two people described in the lyrics.
