The Hunger
The Dark Tenor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like the last daylight
I'm in the shadow lands
And now I burn
As your word's return
It's like a trail of ghost
That haunt me all alone
Cause you're the echo that I chase
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
For you
Now you're in my veins
You're the poison that remains
A darker shade of black
And now I need
What has made me bleed
It's like a strange disease
I feel when I'm alone
Cause you're the echo that I chase
Craving for your love to taste
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
For you
You can bring me back to Life
As I long for you inside
Till you're here the Hunger never dies
Cause you're the echo that I chase
Craving for your love to taste
This is my Hunger
Cause you're the echo that I chase
Craving for your love to taste
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
For you
Cause you're the echo that I chase
Craving for your love to taste
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
This is my Hunger
For you
The song's lyrics speak of a deep hunger for someone who has disappeared from sight, leaving the singer in a state of loneliness and pain. The person's absence is felt strongly and their words haunt the singer like a trail of ghosts. The singer compares their need for this person's love to a strange disease that they feel when they're alone. The person in question holds a lot of power over the singer - they are like a poison that remains in their veins, but also the only one who can bring them back to life.
The use of the metaphor of an echo highlights the singer's desperation to hear from the person they long for. An echo is a faint reflection of a sound that has already been made, and the singer believes that the words of the person they crave still linger, haunting them like ghosts. The chorus repeats the phrase "This is my Hunger" as a declaration of the singer's desire, which is all-consuming and unrelenting. It's clear that this hunger is something the singer can't escape until they're reunited with the person they crave.

You disappeared from sight
You left my line of vision
Like the last daylight
Just like daylight disappears at nightfall
I'm in the shadow lands
I'm in a dark place without you
And now I burn
I'm consumed by my desire for you
As your word's return
As I remember your promises to me
It's like a trail of ghost
It's like a phantom presence that haunts me
That haunt me all alone
Making me feel isolated and lonely
Cause you're the echo that I chase
I'm always longing for your attention
Craving for your love to taste
Desperately wanting your affection
This is my Hunger
This intense desire is what drives me
This is my Hunger
This is my insatiable craving for you
This is my Hunger
This fierce longing defines me
For you
For you alone
Now you're in my veins
You're a part of me, ingrained in my being
You're the poison that remains
You're the substance that keeps me wanting more
A darker shade of black
A deeper level of despair
And now I need
I can't function without what I'm missing
What has made me bleed
What has caused me pain and suffering
It's like a strange disease
It's like an uncontrollable affliction
I feel when I'm alone
The absence of your presence affects me deeply
You can bring me back to Life
You have the power to make me feel alive again
As I long for you inside
As I desire and yearn for you from within
Till you're here the Hunger never dies
As long as you're not here, my desire for you won't lessen
This is my Hunger
This is what defines me and consumes me
Cause you're the echo that I chase
I'm always trying to follow your lead
Craving for your love to taste
I'm desperate for your love and affection
This is my Hunger
This all-encompassing thirst is what drives me forward
This is my Hunger
This potent desire cannot be ignored or subdued
This is my Hunger
This ache and appetite is ever-present and undeniable
For you
It all comes down to you

Ich bin über den klaren Klang in der Stimme einfach nur erstaunt, wenn man die Augen bei diesem Stück schließt, kommt es einem wie eine Fantasiereise auf Noten, Klang und Stimme vor - zumindest mir. Es ist eine herliche Symphonie und Komposition aller dazugehörigen Klänge und Gesänge, ich bin fasziniert, bitte hör niemals damit auf!
