Hunger
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The love I craved always starving me
And what I'd taste turned to bittersweet
Ooh-on and on I searched so long
A flag of white I flew
'Till I found you
You never stop giving me the hunger-never gonna fade away
Oh-I never fought the spell you put me under
Now I'll never be the same
Desire burning like a flame
And my heart'll never change
You'll never stop giving me the hunger
Years alone eat you up inside (it eats you up inside)
'Cause time's no feast for an appetite
You hear stories told of the hearts served cold on the plate of life (On and on and on...)
Ooh-on and on delirium
Approached as I withdrew
'Till I found you
You never stop giving me the hunger-never gonna fade away
Oh-I never fought the spell you put me under
Now I'll never be the same
Desire burning like a flame
And my heart'll never change
You'll never stop giving me the hunger
Ooh-on and on you are my one
Eternal rendezvous...
[Chorus:]
The lyrics of Nelson's song Hunger express the singer's desperation for love and the feeling of being constantly famished for romantic connection. The first few lines, "Took a bite of my memories/The love I craved always starving me/And what I'd taste turned to bittersweet" depict the singer's past failures in finding love and the bitterness that comes with it. However, the chorus, "You never stop giving me the hunger-never gonna fade away" indicates that despite his past setbacks, he has now found someone who evokes feelings of intense desire in him, that will never fade.
The singer's search for his soulmate is portrayed in the line, "On and on I searched so long/A flag of white I flew/Till I found you." It is suggested that the character has been lonely for a long time and he still holds on to the idea of true love. In each verse's first line, the use of the word 'hunger' reflects his constant craving for attachment. The second verse talks about the cost of being alone for an extended period, how it eats you up inside and leaves no room for your emotional appetite. The line "You hear stories told of the hearts served cold on the plate of life," suggests that the singer has seen how others have lost their passion for life after being hurt in love.
Overall, Nelson's song Hunger speaks of the yearning for love and the search for a soulmate. It is a reminder that true love exists, and that it can make one feel alive and fulfilled.
