Hungry Heart
Loic Nottet Lyrics

Hungry
The woman in the song has an insatiable appetite for love and affection.

She'll never be satisfied
No matter how much love and attention the singer gives, it will never be enough for the woman.

With me
The woman's dissatisfaction comes specifically from the singer.

How come I make her feel inside?
The singer is questioning how he affects the woman so deeply despite his efforts to love her.

Empty
The woman feels a void inside that her partner can't fill.

My loving was always denied
Despite the singer's attempts at love, the woman never felt satisfied or fulfilled.

When I gave her everything I had
The singer poured his heart and soul into loving the woman, but it was all for naught.

(So why?)
The singer is questioning why his lover could never be fulfilled by his love.

Did she
The singer is now addressing the woman directly.

Look for more in someone else
The woman sought out love from others, despite already being in a relationship.

Maybe
The singer speculates that the woman couldn't help herself from seeking out love elsewhere.

This woman couldn't help herself
The singer believes that the woman was addicted to love and couldn't help but seek it out elsewhere.

Crazy
The situation has become chaotic and out of control.

This addiction became a mess
The woman's addiction to love only caused problems and chaos in their relationship.

Wasn't filling up her emptiness
Despite seeking out love, the woman was still unfulfilled and empty inside.

(It's why?)
The singer is again questioning why the woman could never be satisfied with his love.

This hungry, hungry heart, cannibal heart
The woman's heart is metaphorically hungry and cannibalistic, always seeking out more love to consume.

Still searching for the purest love that it can have
The woman's heart will always seek out the purest form of love, but will never find it.

Will always drive her to devour the weakest preys
The woman will always prey on the weakest and most vulnerable in her never-ending search for love.

I had to run away from this hungry heart
The singer had to leave the woman behind to protect himself from her insatiable love and its effects on him.

Cause if I chose to stay I'd be torn apart
If the singer stayed with the woman, it would tear him apart emotionally and mentally.

I took a different way to write my new start
The singer left the woman behind and started anew in order to protect himself and have a fresh start.

I'm sorry
The singer acknowledges the pain caused by his departure and apologizes for it.

Can't feed, feed, this hungry heart
The singer can't continue to feed the woman's insatiable hunger for love.

Help me
The woman tries to appeal to the singer for help.

She acted weak to make me feel
The woman feigned weakness in order to garner sympathy from the singer.

Sorry
Despite the woman's feigned weakness and appeal for sympathy, the singer knows that taking her back is not an option.

Taking her back was not a deal
The singer is unwilling to take the woman back, even though she is pleading for his help.

Leave me
The singer is telling the woman to leave him alone and move on.

I knew the feelings were unreal
The singer knew all along that the woman's love was not genuine or true.

Thinking of her was making me ill
The singer's thoughts of the woman and their failed relationship are having a negative effect on his mental and emotional state.

(That's why?)
The singer is again questioning the reason behind the woman's insatiable hunger for love.

Sadly
The situation is a sad one for both the singer and the woman.

She didn't want to feel again
The woman wants to avoid the pain and hurt associated with love, and so she tries to quell her hunger for it.

Lonely
Despite being unable to satisfy her hunger for love, the woman is still very lonely.

This passion made her go insane
The woman's insatiable hunger for love has driven her to madness.

Angry
The situation has led the woman to anger and strife.

She ripped her heart to stop the pain
The woman has had to destroy her own heart to alleviate the pain caused by her hunger for love.

Now this love eater has no more chains
The woman has become free from the chains of her insatiable hunger for love by destroying her own heart.

Do you hate me now because I walked away
The singer is wondering if the woman hates him for leaving her behind.

Please understand - that I just couldn't stay
The singer is trying to explain that he had to leave for his own well-being.

Your heart pushed me - to go the other way
The woman's insatiable hunger for love pushed the singer away and ultimately led to their separation.

Forgive me
The singer is asking the woman to forgive him for leaving.

This hungry heart
The woman's heart is still insatiable and cannibalistic, always seeking out more love.

Can't feed, feed, this hungry heart!
The singer cannot continue to feed the woman's insatiable hunger for love, as it is emotionally and mentally draining for him.
