Constant Craving
K.D. Laing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Even through the darkest phase
Be it thick or thin
Always someone marches brave
Here beneath my skin

And constant craving
Has always been
Maybe a great magnet pulls
All souls towards truth
Or maybe it is life itself
Feeds wisdom
To its youth

Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah-ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been

Constant craving
Has always been
Constant craving
Has always been

Craving
Ah-ha
Constant craving
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been
Has always been




Has always been
Has always been

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Constant Craving" by K.D. Laing explores the concept of human longing for something or someone consistently. The first verse of the song suggests that there is always someone who is going through a difficult phase of life and fighting bravely through it. This warrior-like mentality is rooted inside the singer's body, and it is always present beneath her skin. The second verse of the song suggests that there is an irresistible magnetic force that pulls people towards truth, or maybe the very essence of life itself offers this wisdom to the younger generations. This is how the craving for something is created in all human beings.


The chorus of the song speaks about the constant craving that has been present inside the singer all along. It is insinuated that this yearning is prevalent in every human being, and it is something that they struggle within their lives. Finally, the song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing once again that this craving has always been present.

My mom recently passed and when I was little we would sing this song together as constant gravy. Silly, but a really nice memory. Thanks KD.
