Milosh told the story behind the song to Songs for Whoever:
”We are not sure if anyone caught this, but the song ‘Hunger’ is the one of the only cuts on the record that has no affiliation with love. Rather it’s a statement, a political one though very subtle… The recording was started in Copenhagen...
[Verse 1]
I’m not alone, just feel like a shadow
Call it fate, I’m stuck in this state
Tangled myself in these silkened threads
Tucked in these mangled bed with this marbled pig's head
[Chorus 1]
Hungry in this cell we've made for ourselves
Can you hear that sound? (hear that sound)
It’s running through the ground (oh, the ground)
[Verse 2]
I’ll show my teeth, pull the sword from the sheath
Started to drool down the side of your face
I thought we were made from love
Now we're eating our own rind
Thought we were made from love
Now we're eating our own rind
[Chorus 1]
Hungry in this cell we've made for ourselves
Can you hear that sound? (hear that sound)
It’s running through the ground (oh, the ground)
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus 2]
Hungry in this cell we've made for ourselves
Can you hear that sound? (hear that sound)
It’s running through the ground (oh, the ground)
It's the way we were made to be
Tripping on our own feet
‘Cause we’ve poisoned those wells (poisoned those wells)
We dug for ourselves
