Hunger

## *A Different Kind of Human – Step 2* Chronology

"**Hunger**" is the fifth track on the album *A Different Kind of Human - Step 2*. It was written by Aurora and Fiona Bevan and produced by AURORA and Magnus Skylstad.

## About the song

In an interview with *Clash* magazine, Aurora mentioned the meaning of the song, saying:

> "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 to buy as many T shirts that you can. We waste money and time on things that won't make a difference."

* Official

I've been born for sometime

And I got death on my mind\*

Come and follow me

Away from the nightlife

Sleeping in nirvana

And I will long for the gutter

When I'm in your arms, I long for my freedom\*

In many ways we're not the same, but in some ways we are\*

Looking for something new in the skin of an avatar

All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)\*

All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)\*

Would you ever feed each other (Do we ever have power?)

All we ever had is hunger (Hunger)\*

Your body is a garden

Cared for or forgotten

Kill me with medicine, heal me with poison

Imagine all the naked people under work machines

If I cannot open my mouth then would you talk for me?

All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)\*

All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)

Would you ever feed each other (Do we ever have power?)

All we ever had is hunger (Hunger)\*

Hunger\*

Hunger\*

All we ever had is hunger (Hunger, hunger)\*

All we never get is power (Hunger, hunger)

Would you ever feed each other (Do we ever have power?)

All we ever had is hunger (Hunger)\*

Hunger\*

Hunger\*

I've been born for sometime

And I've got death on my mind

Come and follow me

Away from the nightlife

Sleeping in nirvana

And I will long for the gutter

When I am in your arms, I long for my freedom

In many ways we are not the same but in some ways we are

Looking for something new in the skin of an avatar

All we ever had is hunger

I all we never get is power

Hunger, hunger

Would you ever feed each other

Do we ever have power

All we ever had is hunger

Your body is a garden

Cared for or forgotten

Kill me with medicine, heal me with poison

Imagine all the naked people under work machines

If I cannot open my mouth then would you talk for me?

All we ever had is hunger

All we never get is power

Hunger, hunger

Would you ever feed each other

Do we ever have power

All we ever had is hunger

All we ever had is hunger

All we never get is power

Hunger, hunger

Would you ever feed each other

Do we ever have power

All we ever had is hunger
