Starvation Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
I miss the touch of human hands on my skin
Miss the rush of beauty coming from within
Do I need to be torn just to see who will care?
I sleep on the floor, dreaming my life away
[Chorus]
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
And we hunger for love
Why do we touch the knife
When we long to feel alive?
And we hunger for love
And my soul is starving
[Verse 2]
Come on over, take a bite of the last apple here on Earth
Will the virtual mind become stronger than mine?
And when my ego dies, will I stay here forever?
When the web crashes down, will my life be better?
[Chorus]
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
And we hunger for love
And my soul is starving
Why do we touch the knife
When we long to feel alive?
And we hunger for love
And my soul is starving
[Bridge]
Break me, break me, chasing the enemy
Got a deal with the devil, but I got the stamina
Higher than anything I've ever seen or been
Right now, everything, everything's empty
Starving, craving, chasing the remedy
I got used to the torture, but no one deserves to be alone
Break me, chasing the enemy
And my soul is hurting, but I got the stamina
[Chorus]
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
We are decorated bones
And my soul is starving
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
We are decorated bones
And my soul is starving
[Outro]
(My soul, my soul)
(My soul is starving)
(I'm dying)
[Verse 1] reflects a deep yearning for human touch and the inner beauty that comes from genuine interaction. The singer misses the physical and emotional sensations that come with real human contact and questions whether suffering is necessary to reveal who truly cares. The imagery of sleeping on the floor and dreaming life away conveys a sense of disconnection and despair.
[Chorus] poses existential questions about the nature of life and death, and the human need for love. The chorus suggests that people often need to face death to appreciate life and questions why people seek dangerous experiences, like touching a knife, to feel alive. The repeated declaration that the soul is starving emphasizes the profound emptiness and need for love.
[Verse 2] introduces the idea of the last apple on Earth, symbolizing a final chance or temptation. The verse questions the impact of virtual reality on human minds and whether it could surpass the real human experience. The singer wonders about the aftermath of the ego's death and whether life would improve if the digital world collapses.
[Bridge] intensifies the sense of desperation and struggle. The singer talks about dealing with the enemy and making a deal with the devil, symbolizing the internal and external battles faced. Despite enduring torture and loneliness, the singer claims to have the stamina to keep going, highlighting resilience amidst suffering.
[Outro] reiterates the theme of starvation and dying, encapsulating the overall feeling of the song. The singer's soul is portrayed as starving and dying, emphasizing the deep emotional and existential hunger experienced. This section leaves a haunting impression, underscoring the urgent need for genuine connection and love.
