This song explores one of the 7 deadly sins 'Gluttony', defined as the overindulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. The word derives from the Latin 'gluttire', to gulp down or swallow. One reason for its condemnation is that gorging by the prosperous may leave the needy hungry. These lyrics explain that existing with the soul intention only to fill a void with an excess of anything is hardly existing at all, it's worthless, your life becomes irrelevant, you become human waste essentially and you're never truly fulfilled because how could you be? It's a vicious cycle (to eat impulsively, or even reduce the goals of life to mere eating and drinking), an exercise in futility where your entire existence has been reduced to being a prisoner to your own excess & ravenousness.
