Starvation Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I miss the touch of human hands on my skin
Miss the rush of beauty coming from within
Do I need to be torn just to see who will care?
I sleep on the floor, dreaming my life away

[Chorus]
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
And we hunger for love
Why do we touch the knife
When we long to feel alive?
And we hunger for love
And my soul is starving

[Verse 2]
Come on over, take a bite of the last apple here on Earth
Will the virtual mind become stronger than mine?
And when my ego dies, will I stay here forеver?
When the wеb crashes down, will my life be better?

[Chorus]
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
And we hunger for love
And my soul is starving
Why do we touch the knife
When we long to feel alive?
And we hunger for love
And my soul is starving

[Bridge]
Break me, break me, chasing the enemy
Got a deal with the devil, but I got the stamina
Higher than anything I've ever seen or been
Right now, everything, everything's empty
Starving, craving, chasing the remedy
I got used to the torture, but no one deserves to be alone
Break me, chasing the enemy
And my soul is hurting, but I got the stamina

[Chorus]
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
We are decorated bones
And my soul is starving
Why do we have to die
For us to see the light?
We are decorated bones
And my soul is starving

[Outro]
(My soul, my soul)
(My soul is starving)
(I'm dying)

Genius Annotation

AURORA released this song on June 7th, accompanied by a music video, making it the sixth single from her fifth studio album, “What Happened to the Heart?”, which was released on the same day.

AURORA stated: “Our souls are starving because AI is taking over; art is being replaced by computers.”

AURORA said she was inspired by Germany’s techno scene to create this song. In the 90s, Berlin was known for its underground rave culture. AURORA also stated: “I’m a very big fan of The Prodigy and Underworld and Chemical Brothers. I think that kind of music is very cool.”

The song addresses the disconnection modern life imposes on humans.

The techno inspiration in the song contrasts with its theme. While rave music is typically associated with sweaty, closed and overcrowded places, the song is about a person starving for connection.
