The Hunger Lyrics

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

Yield to war to murder, to hurt
Scorch the skies and poison the earth
And watch the stumbling numbers to partially exit all again
Time is cracked, the warning sirens have faded
It's coming, either hell above or heaven below
The board has been said your belly has been made
Running lies as you realize you can't eat your mind
It is nothing

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

Race, knees
Occupy, blind sheep
Save us! Save us! Save us!
There's an answer to the answer that has walked the earth
The first ones to warn, to teach, to lay down their life
Sacrifice!
Were the leaders of men, convoluted all sticking fingers
Of the virus into all that is pure
And they dig, and they dig, and they dig!

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

We were the hungry, you fed us poison!
We were the silent and you kept speaking!
We were the hungry, you fed us poison!
We were the empty, and you kept taking!
We were the silent and you kept speaking!
So don't you, don't you look away!

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And then maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

What is the Meaning of The Hunger?

Exploring themes of societal decay and disillusionment, "The Hunger" by Of Mice & Men delves into the disconnection between leaders and the populace. The lyrics portray a world where those in power feed lies and destruction rather than nurturing their people, symbolized through phrases like "you fed us poison." This metaphorical starvation represents a deeper craving for truth and integrity. The repeated urging to "open up your eyes" serves as a call to awareness, encouraging listeners to recognize and challenge the injustices shaping their environment. Ultimately, the song reflects a collective outcry against exploitation and the moral responsibility to resist complacency in face of societal wrongs.
