Hunger
O/Y Lyrics

The lyrics of "Hunger" by O/Y seem to express a sense of hopelessness and the desire to escape from a situation. The line "Do you want to waste away" is a rhetorical question that seems to suggest a feeling of being trapped and stagnant. The chorus "You never want to feel the same" repeats this sentiment, possibly hinting at a desire for change or growth.

The singer of the song wants to leave their current environment which they find suffocating, as evidenced by the line "I want to leave this fucking town." In order to cope with this sense of feeling stuck, they indulge in smoking, which seems to provide some sort of release, but also potentially harm their health (as seen in the line "smoking til my lungs are brown").

The final two lines of the chorus "Watch the time just melt away, Watch the colors fade away" perhaps imply that the singer is lost in a haze and losing touch with reality. Time passing and colors fading indicate a sense of monotony and mundanity, suggesting that the singer is stuck in a rut.
