Florence + The Machine - Hunger (Lyrics)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
At seventeen I started to starve myself
I thought that love was a kind of emptiness
And at least I understood then the hunger I felt
And I didn't have to call it loneliness
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
Tell me what you need
Oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby
Come on and work it for me
Don't let them get you down
You're the best thing I've seen
We never found the answer
But we knew one thing
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
And it's Friday night and it's kicking in
In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me
Oh and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment
I thought that love was in the drugs
But the more I took, the more it took away
And I could never get enough
I thought that love was on the stage, give yourself to strangers
You don't have to be afraid
Then it tries to find a home
With people or when I'm alone
Picking it apart
And staring at your phone
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
We all have a hunger
Tell me what you need
Oh, you look so free
The way you use your body, baby
Come on and work it for me
Don't let them get you down
You're the best thing I've seen
We never found the answer
But we knew one thing
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
We all have a hunger
(We all have a hunger)
And it's Friday night and it's kicking in
In that pink dress, they're gonna crucify me
Oh and you in all your vibrant youth
How could anything bad ever happen to you?
You make a fool of death with your beauty
And for a moment I forget to worry

As a former bulimic guy it really was such a powerful line I love her music it’s so poetic and beautiful

[@MultiFreddy34]

It can also be seen to mean she starved herself of love. It's a double entendre.

[@jasmineping7606]

@Calvin Michael Jonas some people aren't happy with themselves, most have an issue with their weight. They think starving will make them look better and that they'll finally be happy themselves. It's mostly female that do it to ourselves. Ive been there and this is my favorite line

[@JollyJustice]

“The way you use your body baby come on and work it for me” doesn’t feel sexual it feels more like teaching someone to take pride in their body and the beauty of movement and dance.

She wrote this song about her anorexia, so I think she is talking about how she should value more than her physical appearance.

[@naff_tm]

THE VISUALS. THIS COMEBACK IS STRONGER THAN EVER!!

[@nbluejay6762]

This is from Billboard: "This song is about the ways we look for love in things that are perhaps not love, and how attempts to feel less alone can sometimes isolate us more,” Florence Welch says of the new track. “I guess I made myself more vulnerable in this song to encourage connection, because perhaps a lot more of us feel this way than we are able to admit. Sometimes when you can’t say it, you can sing it.”

[@trescorvos]

Mauro Soto Bravo I think the things she sings about in this song are issues humans have always struggled with regardless of what century they existed in.

[@tomislav_fatm447]

Yesssss👌👌

[@achitodua3695]

For me this song is about being insecure about your "imperfections" and thinking that people wont like the way you are, so you distance yourself from them and just sit in your room alone("looking at you phone"). I think shes talking to her young self, what she thought was love and the way she couldnt really get it, only from drugs and from strangers when being on stage. She resticted herself because of that thought of being rejected, but now shes free(you ca even see that from the way she dances, its so free, emotional and just for herself, without caring about what anyone thinks), she learned how to love herself. Hunger is representation of desire of love(or strive to perfection),and we dont have to starve ourselves in fear, we can love ourselves and well find that some people like us just the way we are...

[@emmru7073]

[@spicyprophetz8247]

[@justynak7644]

OK but then how come she said - "how many people need to die so that you can feel loved"?

[@MarioCantin]

"You make a fool of death with your beauty..." Who writes poetry like that? I'm a 53 year old man who's largely into Death Metal and other extreme genres of music and I get emotional and tear-eyed listening to Florence. Furthermore, I have a home studio and make music, but when I listen to Florence + The Machine, I suddenly feel quite devoid of any talent. She's a true artist who can touch the soul and make (at least some of us) more desiring of living our lives to the fullest. She's a phenomenon.

[@sari7829]

I once wrote a short story for my friend based on something that he said to me, when I asked him for suggestions for a memorable line.

This album is going to change my life...I can feel it

[@sjal92]

As an anorexia survivor, I can relate... This song hit me hard the first time I heard it. Just by listening the beginning: "At 17 i started to starve myself/ I thought that love was a kind of emptiness". I suffered from anorexia for 3 years of my life, and I remember that period as the worst I've ever experienced in my entire existence. The way she dances in the video reminds me of the liberating sensation I felt when I was fully healed. When I started to love myself again, free in mind from unhealthy thoughts, seeing myself as a bird, able to fly again, far in the distance from the mental cage I built with my own hands. A beautiful song that means a lot to me and to many people out there. I love Florence ❤️

[@sensitive.broonie]

My boyfriend sent me this song. I didn't listen to it right away, but when I did I was in the hospital. This song is quickly becoming a sort of comfort that I cling to when I start to feel like I'm being crushed and overstimulated by too many mental and physical pains at once. Much thanks to the man who honestly played a huge roll in saving my life and changing it for the better. If you happen to see this somehow, you know who you are, Sir.

The beauty about the statue in this video, if you look at it, is that it's gender is mixed. It has both feminine and masculine features, and it is also "broken." Around it are statues of men in the background, with very beautifully carved masculine features, but this statue stands alone and it's a perfect example of sexual awakening. The yearn to be different, to expose that hunger and *feel* it. What a poetic scene to see....

[@TheriusT]

A beautiful sentiment but the statues in the background are mostly of women.

[@rat8984]

@@TheriusT there are actually 2 different shots with other statues, one with all male, the other all female

[@xovvo3950]

It's not just that the statue is broken, it's "wounded" in the side and on the palms. The statue is supposed to be Jesus. Hence why in the latter half of the video the statue is at the center of s many scenes of worship. It's also important to note that the statue isn't so much gender mixed as...portraying Jesus as a trans man. Listen, for a couple centuries now, the mythology is that Jesus was born of Mary, who was unmarried and in these recent centuries did not conceive Jesus with a man. So unless God worked a Miracle Y chromosome (or androgen sensitivity), any child produced by parthenogenesis is going to be X0, XX, XXX, etc. and more than likely AFAB. But we also know from the same tradition that Jesus was a man. and this is a pretty reasonable reading given how much queerness of other kinds are on display in the video (pretty much no one aside from a few scattered characters in the beginning aren't coded as some sort of Queer, so strongly it's barely even subtext). We're meant to understand the Queerness suffused throughout the work.

You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment I thought that love was in the drugs But the more I took, the more it took away And I could never get enough I thought that love was on the stage You give yourself to strangers You don't have to be afraid And then it tries to find a home with people, oh, and I'm alone Picking it apart and staring at your phone We all have a hunger We all have a hunger We all have a hunger We all have a hunger Tell me what you need, oh, you look so free The way you use your body, baby, come on and work it for me Don't let it get you down, you're the best thing I've seen We never found the answer but we knew one thing We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) We all have a hunger (we all have a hunger) And it's Friday night and it's kicking in And I can't dress, they're gonna crucify me Oh, you and all your vibrant youth How could anything bad ever happen to you? You make a fool of death with your beauty, and for a moment I forget to worry

Thank you. 🖤

[@thisweeksedition2477]

I always thought she said "I wont let anything bad ever happen to you" and I'm still going to sing that.

[@leoardulnuan]

This album cannot have come at a better time. Thank you Florence... God bless you.

[@laurafunes2363]

Leoar Dulnuan completely agree with this

[@strandedtraveller1038]

It's amazing to see how she has evolved personally and musically after being in the scene for almost 10 years. The best thing about this song is the fact how it contains the lively vocals of "Lungs", the darker lyricism of "Ceremonials", and the organic production of "HBHBHB"; complimented by a newfound maturity in her presence. Florence is finally back to bless us with some great music...! ♥

So charming, spiritual, deep. This is Florence and the Machine😊

[@olivia1910]

For some reason I'm always anxious when she releases something new and I don't know why because I'm NEVER disappointed. I'm very attached to the Lungs and Ceremonials eras and I always fear that her music is going to loose that magical, ethereal feeling at some point (wasn't sure about HBHBHB at first) but somehow it's always there, even when she explores a completely different style. I just need to accept the fact that this woman is incapable of making bad music ! She is evolving beautifully.

This woman is truly one of best artists of our generation, and for me personally she is the best. I am so lucky and happy to be able to live in the same period as her and to be able to listen to and watch her work of art. Every word and every note hits the mark and her songs are able to connect with the listener on so many different levels. She has been an inspiration, a voice of sanity and the cure for me through all these years. Thank you Florence for making this beautiful art. All the best regards to all the other Florence lovers across the world from Serbia :)

[@ThefamousJezzie]

Zlatan Marinkovic she's cool but that's sia hontey

[@iTeacupPanda]

+ThefamousJezzie Call us when Sia writes for Florence and not the other way around. Call us when Sia has a usable falsetto. Call us when Sia can hold notes for over 14 seconds so that Florence can tell her to double it to meet her record. I love Sia and they're both amazingly talented, but Florence has her beat in quite a few areas. One of them being writing versatility on subjects, references and genres.

I went throgh some very rough times in 2019 and was in a constant state of sorrow and hopelesness. Thankfully, many things and people helped me get through those awful months. But whenever I was alone and this song popped, and Florence sang 'don't let them get you down, you're the best thing I've seen' it felt like a hug from an old friend. Even now, two years after that I get tears in my eyes writing this and remembering all that. I just wanted to say thank you, that was a much needed hug.
