"Hunger" is the fifth track on the album A Different Kind of Human - Step 2.[1] It was written by Aurora and Fiona Bevan and produced by AURORA and Magnus Skylstad.
About the song[]
In an interview with Clash magazine, Aurora mentioned the meaning of the song, saying:
"It's about all our consuming, the endless hunger for money, food, clothes and how we've destroyed the world because of that hunger. We force ourselves to not see the people dying to make you a t-shirt because you're hungry to buy as many T shirts that you can. We waste money and time on things that won't make a difference."[2]
Lyrics[]
I've been born for sometime
And I got death on my mind*
Come and follow me
Away from the nightlife
Sleeping in nirvana
And I will long for the gutter
When I'm in your arms, I long for my freedom*
In many ways we're not the same, but in some ways we are*
Looking for something new in the skin of an avatar
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)*
All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)*
Would you ever feed each other (Do we ever have power?)
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger)*
Your body is a garden
Cared for or forgotten
Kill me with medicine, heal me with poison
Imagine all the naked people under work machines
If I cannot open my mouth then would you talk for me?
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)*
All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)
Would you ever feed each other (Do we ever have power?)
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger)*
Hunger*
Hunger*
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)*
All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)
Would you ever feed each other (Do we ever have power?)
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger)*
Hunger*
Hunger*
I've been born for sometime
And I've got death on my mind
Come and follow me
Away from the nightlife
Sleeping in nirvana
And I will long for the gutter
When I am in your arms, I long for my freedom
In many ways we are not the same but in some ways we are
Looking for something new in the skin of an avatar
All we ever had is hunger
I all we never get is power
Hunger, hunger
Would you ever feed each other
Do we ever have power
All we ever had is hunger
Your body is a garden
Cared for or forgotten
Kill me with medicine, heal me with poison
Imagine all the naked people under work machines
If I cannot open my mouth then would you talk for me?
All we ever had is hunger
All we never get is power
Hunger, hunger
Would you ever feed each other
Do we ever have power
All we ever had is hunger
All we ever had is hunger
All we never get is power
Hunger, hunger
Would you ever feed each other
Do we ever have power
All we ever had is hunger
