http://janatxy.tumblr.com/post/120032676016/song-interpretation-have-you-ever-felt-this Have you ever felt this feeling that you need to let someone close to you go? If yes, this beautiful composition, brought to you from Of Monsters And Men’s upcoming album “Beneath the Skin”, would be perfect choice for your evening playlist by the window (or if lucky, on top of the roof). New single “Hunger” almost feels like an address or confession of the one who goes through this ambivalent state where despair, attachment and hope dance a tango in trio. My beating heart wanted more But I’ll keep it in and keep you out I’m drowning, I’m drowning Sometimes, there comes a moment when you fear feel that you are so distant and yet so physically close at this moment. Only as the silence progresses and emerges in its space and time, you understand that saying nothing at all is even more scary than most of the words you’ve never said out loud. Nevertheless, it does not shatter your will to be complete and fight for what you have been cherishing all these years. But the more you try, the more it takes its toll on you. But for the longest time I knew There was nothing left for us to do But I tried, oh, I try And in this quiet company There is nothing staring back at me I’m in need of the sound And now, when you put up your mind, made decisions, you realize that you cannot let this overflowing anger and sorrow flood the one you love. You can be hungry for revenge, for cry, for kill. But you never let your inner worries trouble your lover. Because you know, it is you who troubles you in the end. You drown. You drown. Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn’t you Voices disappear when you are speaking, in somber tunes I will be the wolf and when you’re starving, you’ll need it too Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn’t you It isn’t you, it isn’t Close to the finale of the song, each individual instrumental part unite and build up for the last outburst of sounds and feelings, in style we loved from their previous album. As tension rises to its peak, Nana and Ragnar sing loudly last words of this beautiful piece of music. I’m drowning, I’m drowning I’m drowning, I’m drowning I’m drowning, I’m drowning I’m drowning, I’m drowning |

| Of Monsters And Men – From Finner Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
A grandfather takes his two grandchildren away from their town, to live far away, by the sea. Something such as war was happening in their town. They were babies, so he carried them on his back. They left with barely any money, so they lived in a rickety house that rocked in the wind, but the girl knew that she was safe away from the war. Apparently the grandfather fishes to earn pay, when the lyrics say "the waves that hit his face". He's getting older and more crippled each day. And after each day of being carefree children, their grandfather would return and the children would begin to notice how old he was getting, worrying them - the "stormy nights". But their grandfather - Finner - tells them not to worry. |
