The 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 Hunger by Nelson is a love song that shows the paradoxical nature of love where it is often referred to as a hungry or fierce force that is never completely satisfied. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about the love he has craved for so long, but it never seems to be enough. The metaphor that he Took a bite of my memories suggests the nostalgia that he feels, but soon, it turns to Bittersweet taste, implying that his past sometimes hurts him more than it soothes him. He sings about how he searched for love flagging a white flag of surrender, almost, and how he found it finally in his lover.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's complete surrender to his lover and how he never fought the spell that he put him under. Love has made him a completely new person now, with an unbridled desire burning like a flame inside him.
The Hunger has a powerful message that love can lead to insatiable desires, even though it makes us feel complete in the moment. The song shows the restless nature of love, portrayed through the metaphors of hunger, flames, burning desires, etc.

Took a bite of my memories
I reminisced about my past experiences
The love I craved always starving me
I always yearned for love, but it was never enough
And what I'd taste turned to bittersweet
The love I found was good, but it had its flaws
Ooh-on and on I searched so long
I searched tirelessly for love
A flag of white I flew
I surrendered and showed my vulnerability
'Till I found you
I found the person who fulfilled my desires
You never stop giving me the hunger-never gonna fade away
You consistently make me crave for more
Oh-I never fought the spell you put me under
I happily surrendered to your love
Now I'll never be the same
You've changed me for the better
Desire burning like a flame
My passion for you is intense
And my heart'll never change
My love for you is constant
Years alone eat you up inside (it eats you up inside)
Being alone for a long time can be lonely
'Cause time's no feast for an appetite
Time doesn't fulfill one's desires
You hear stories told of the hearts served cold on the plate of life (On and on and on...)
People often suffer heartbreak
Ooh-on and on delirium
The delirious feeling of being in love
Approached as I withdrew
You came closer as I tried to push you away
Ooh-on and on you are my one
You are my one true love
Eternal rendezvous...
We will be together forever
You'll never stop giving me the hunger
You will always leave me wanting more
