The Hunger
Craving Connection: The Heartfelt Quest for Love and Fulfillment
Lyrics
She hates bein' on her own, but she does her best
She dislikes being alone, but she puts in effort.
Empty nights create the hunger for love and tenderness
Lonely nights intensify the yearning for love and warmth.
She spends so much time alone
She invests a significant amount of time in solitude.
She says it makes her wonder
Alone, she contemplates and questions her situation.
If she'll ever find someone who'll make her feel alive
She wonders if she'll ever find someone who brings her to life.
And satisfy the hunger
Searching for someone to fulfill and satisfy her emotional needs.
He always reads a lot at night, but he's gettin' tired of it
He spends nights reading but is growing weary of it.
An empty house deepens desire for true companionship
An empty home intensifies his longing for genuine companionship.
When he sees himself in the mirror, he don't look no younger
Seeing himself aging in the mirror, he fights the fear of living without fulfilling his desires.
He just keeps on fightin' the fear that'll he'll go through life
He battles the fear of not satisfying his emotional needs throughout life.
And not satisfy the hunger
Continuing the struggle to quell his emotional hunger.
Oh the hunger, the need for lovin' arms
Expressing the intense craving for loving arms.
Oh the hunger, longing for contentment of the heart
Desire for emotional fulfillment and heart contentment.
She picks up a second job at an all night diner
She takes on a second job at a late-night diner.
Anything that she can do to fill the empty hours
Doing anything to fill the void in her hours.
Then by chance her destiny he's there across the counter
By chance, she encounters someone who may change her destiny.
Their lives are changed by what they see in each other's eyes
Their lives are impacted by what they see in each other's eyes.
They recognize the hunger
They both recognize and understand the hunger within.
Oh the hunger, the need for lovin' arms
Reiterating the intense need for loving arms.
Oh the hunger, longing for contentment of the heart
Longing for fulfillment and contentment in the heart.
The hunger
Emphasizing the overarching theme of emotional hunger.
Oh, the hunger
Repetition of the intense emotional craving.
Yeah, the hunger
Affirmation of the persisting emotional hunger.
