The World is a Hungry Place
Unveiling the Depths of Emotional Hunger in "The World is a Hungry Place" by Wild NothingLyrics
There are things
Introduction to unspecified things
You won't get told
Information withheld or kept secret
I've seen what love
Observation of love's impact
Can do to us all
Recognition of the universal influence of love
Failure of breath
Reference to a struggle for breath or a superficial injury
Or a cosmetic scratch
Mention of a minor, surface-level injury
One deep pull
Reference to inhaling laughing gas
From the laughing gas
Allusion to a moment of intoxication or altered state
The world is a hungry place
Repetition emphasizing the world's insatiable nature
The world is a hungry place
-The world is a hungry place
-The world is a hungry place
-Never been one
Assertion of not conforming to societal norms
For making the rounds
Disinclination for socializing or engaging in customary activities
An overcast life
Describing a dull or gloomy existence
In a colonial town
Reference to life in a historical or traditional setting
I've seen myself
Self-awareness and identification
It's the manlier thing
Embracing qualities associated with traditional masculinity
And my appetite grows
Expression of growing desires or needs
And I've seen it around
Acknowledgment of witnessing similar experiences
The world is a hungry place
Reiteration of the world's insatiable nature
The world is a hungry place
