Hungry
Craving Intimacy: Heather Miller's Echo of Longing in 'Hungry'
Lyrics
You know it's been twelve months
It's been a year since I had someone in my bed.
Since I've had anyone in my bed
Referring to a significant period without physical intimacy.
Back then was the last few crumbs
Describing the last remnants of a love that felt unsatisfying.
Of a love like stale bread
Comparing the love to stale bread, implying its lack of freshness or fulfillment.
So I've been a long time longing,
Expressing a prolonged desire and yearning.
Staring at a barren plate
Metaphorically looking at life as an empty plate, possibly unfulfilled.
Wanting to fill up my empty cup
Expressing a desire to fill the emptiness, whether metaphorical or physical.
Or at least to have a taste
Yearning for at least a taste of fulfillment or satisfaction.
You left me hungry for the touch of a man
Feeling unfulfilled and longing for the physical closeness of a man.
Back when you left the table
Recalling a moment when the person left the table, possibly leaving emotionally or physically.
I wasn't able to even comprehend
Unable to comprehend the duration of survival after the departure.
How long I could survive
Reflecting on the challenge of staying alive despite emotional famine.
Stay alive, despite famine
Conveying the struggle to survive and maintain life despite emotional hardship.
Yeah, you left me hungry for the touch of a man
Reiterating the unfulfilled longing for the touch of a man.
Oh, you left me hungry for the touch of a man
Emphasizing the persistent hunger for physical intimacy.
These days my eyes linger
Observing and desiring connection through the presence of a wedding ring.
On ring fingers of every man I meet
Expressing a burning desire and fatigue from denying emotional warmth.
My belly's on fire, I'm so tired
Continuing the theme of longing and unmet desires.
Of trying to deny the heat
Acknowledging the persistent hunger for physical closeness.
Yeah, you left me hungry for the touch of a man
Reiterating the unfulfilled longing for the touch of a man.
Yeah, you left me hungry for the touch of a man
Emphasizing the ongoing hunger for physical intimacy.
You left me hungry for the touch of a man
Concluding with the repeated expression of unmet longing for the touch of a man.
