[Verse 1]
I've been born for sometime
And I got death on my mind
Come and follow me (Ah)
Away from the nightlife
Sleeping in nirvana
And I will long for the gutter
When I'm in your arms (Ah)
I long for my freedom (Ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
In many ways, we're not the same, but in some ways, we are
Looking for something new in the skin of an avatar
[Chorus]
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)
All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)
Would you ever feed each other?
Eh-oh-eh-oh (Do we ever have power?)
All we ever had is hunger
Hunger, oh
[Verse 2]
Your body is a garden
Cared for or forgotten
Kill me with medicine
Heal me with poison
[Pre-Chorus]
Imagine all the naked people under work machines
If I could not open my mouth, then would you talk for me?
[Chorus]
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)
All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger, oh)
Would you ever feed each other?
Eh-oh-eh-oh (Do we ever have power?)
All we ever had is hunger
Hunger, oh
[Bridge]
A-yo, a-yo, a-yo
Oh, a-yo
A-yo, a-yo, a-yo
(Hunger)
A-yo, a-yo, a-yo
Oh, a-yo
A-yo, a-yo, a-yo
(Hunger)
[Chorus]
All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger, oh)
All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger, oh)
Would you ever feed each other?
Eh-oh-eh-oh (Do we ever have power?)
All we ever had is hunger
Hunger, oh
[Outro]
Hunger
Oh, oh
Hunger
Hunger was written by AURORA & Fiona Bevan.
Hunger was produced by Magnus Skylstad & AURORA.
In an interview to Clash magazine, AURORA mentioned the meaning of the song:
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...
