Kent - We need to eat (Lyrics)

[cutiebabi9411]

I love this song but I can't find it on iTunes :(

[Headphon3zonmax]

nice boyfreindz dudes keep em

[McBlah95]

Such a Preety song

[TheAndreakent]

lol my last name is kent  sad son

[butterflygirl123ful]

I love food but i hate eating and i really hate it cause my boyfreind wont eat unless i eat with him cause he knows i'll try to avoid eating for as long as i can

[maayanl16]

@butterflygirl123ful

your lucky to have him, even if it's hard for you to eat.

[butterflygirl123ful]

@maayanl16 ur very right I love him with all I am

[aquaarielstar]

this song made me cry =(

[AddyRoxSox]

I know a lot of people see it as the girl having an eating disorder, but i really see it like she has formed an obsession with this boy. Like she can't sleep or eat she needs him so much and if he leaves she would kill herself. She wants every waking moment to be with hime she depends on it or else...

[wickedchic15]

@AddyRoxSox I know what you mean. My friend and I actually wrote a short story using the metaphor of an eating disorder as an abusive boyfriend, Ed.

[InNominex]

I can totally relate to the singers POV...</3

[loopyseventeenyeable]

I'm crying



[wickedchic15]

The ironic thing is, now that I'm eating more, this song hurts even more because I can actually listen to what it is saying. I miss my eating disorder and there's not a day that passes without me wanting to relapse. We'll see...

[TheKkandcc]

The Reason I Wont Tell Anyone About My Problem Is Because I Am Scared Of My Boyfreind, Freinds And Family Abbandoning Me :'(

[OlyClaire6]

@TheKkandcc I feel for you, i understand you're scared, but to find out if they're good to you, and won't abandon you, you could tell them......

[jbyrsm1]

@TheKkandcc I see where you are comming from, but if they love you they won't abandon you. They will help you and support you. You should tell them!

[litlasystir]

The song isn't necessarily about an eating disorder/disorders. I think, it's about being someone's obsession ("I say we need to eat, she says I'll feed on your breath" for example) and how tiring it can be. Wonderful song anyway, though I prefer it in my native language, Swedish! ;P

[YuiMewMew]

@litlasystir "Though you hate to undress before my eyes

For your pale skin is in need of summerlight"

No, sorry, but this is about a girlfriend with an eating disorder.

[litlasystir]

@YuiMewMew

Pale skin does not necessarily refer to having an eating disorder, it could refer to an insecurity as much. Nowhere in the lyrics of this song I associate it with eating disorders, but that's just my view of it. In the Swedish version of it, there's no association with eating disorders either, just obsessive love.

[YuiMewMew]

@litlasystir Well, I refer that song to my life. That is a song for my boyfriend. I hate to make him feel that way.

[Zachccccc]

This song means a lot, Me and my girlfriend went through an eating disorder. Well she did, I was just there for her.

[OhCommaLove]

Where can I download this? 

[awrongman]

I think this is the only song kent has ever made were the english version is actually better than the swedish one.

[splee44100]

I have ED two and wveryone is worrief about me and its not i almoset whent to a hosiptal ciz of it i was so thin it was not fun at all i still kinda eat today but not all the time

[jbyrsm1]

If this was a potato, it would be a frickin' good potato.

[sailormello]

This song has been on my mind for two weeks. It makes me want to cry. But I can't, So I don't.

I actually like this better in english than in swedish.. and that doesent happend often.

[Mirr0rMirr0r0nMyW4ll]

Where can you get this song in Enlgish? I can't find it anywhere. If anyone could help me that would be great. <3 this song

[ninarosa333]

In the end of the song does he leave her and let her die??

[PrincessE8888]

this is beautiful <3

[praisemusicforever]

My twin sister has an ED. She's been in and out of hospitals for a year and a half. It's hard not knowing how to help her anymore.

[daddiesGrl167]

@praisemusicforever im sorry....

if she wont talk n cant make you understand or maybe u need someone 2 listen im hear 

[praisemusicforever]

@daddiesGrl167 Thanks =/, that means a lot.

[daddiesGrl167]

@praisemusicforever no problem hunny i just checked my mail srry so late but i still mean it!!

[NotThinYet]

I'm Relapsing,.. And terrified my girlfriend will leave me when my weight gets low... She says when she met me i looked like death.. The first time we where together she Gasped at my bones....How they poke out and all. I'm scared she'll leave me even though i explained this to her so much..

[ChelleVSA]

@NotThinYet I thought my boyfriend would do the same. Instead he's been my rock. There's some hope.

[NotThinYet]

@ChelleVSA

Aw good for you about your boyfriend. My girlfriend still hasn't left me, and my weights gotten pretty low once again. I think she'll stick around. I HOPE she'll stick around...

[guntzborg]

my ex told me this song reminded him of me. i don't like that.

[Narahiel]

These are all the reasons I hide it from the world.

[maayanl16]

everyone is so worried about me... i hate it.

i don't want to hurt them, or myself, but i feel like i don't have a choice. i don't want to be thin. i need to be thin.

[SomeSortOfFailure]

@maayanl16 I know the feeling, you can't help yourself. You can't just start eating... there's so much pressure...

[SignoraPsycheZenobia]

@maayanl16 Honey, Kent has it right. No food isn't an option. Eventually, someone will say something just right, and you'll finally take those walls down. You'll realize you're dying, and you better love life enough to finally live. It hurts; the closer you get to a healthy weight, the more you'll feel like you're giving up, but life is too precious to waste by starving. You're beautiful as long as you love someone. You're beautiful as long as you think. Eating can be the best kind of courage.

[3OH3ftw123]

I hate having ED.

[jbyrsm1]

@3OH3ftw123 Whats ED? eating disorder?

[SomeSortOfFailure]

Both me and my bf has ED... It sux.

[Ketzy123]

This song made me cry.. I have ED.. i hate it so much, my bf hates it ... :/

[anaangel92]

I actually like that someone finally did a song that's more from the perspective of someone who loves someone with an ED...there's suffering all around...

[sydney100p]

this is why my boy left me :( he couldnt handle my problems holding him down anymore. ive tried so hard to get rid of them, i just dont think its happening. i hate eating disorders. but i love that ppl can sing about them!

[anaangel92]

@sydney100p *hug*

[MsWastedGirl1]

@sydney100p I hear you girly. I'm getting threatened to be left forever. Today i heard 'If you don't eat with me right now, I'll push you out of my life for good.'

[sockmonkey1983]

@sydney100p I feel the same - my ex left because he was afraid i'd put myself in a hospital

[pahu00397]

@sydney100p stay strong . there is someone out there for everyonee , && someone who cares !! keep your head up . things change for the best . things always get worse before they get better . xo

[udontfckngetit]

@sydney100p this is why i had to leave, cuz i was afraid to tell cuz i was so afraid that he wouldn't care or he'd care too much.

but now i know better so i told right from the start that i had a eating disorder, glad that i am almost healty now.

Don't give up and hold your head up high, if you want it you can do it. Wish you only the best. :)

[juliamariaoberg]

har aldrig tänkt på förut att låten handlar om en ätstörning, det gick upp för mig nu. Kent slutar aldrig förvåna mig, älskade kent, vad skulle världen vara utan er?

[eilasaskia]

Låten är verkligen skitbra, men den gör mig slå ledsen också. Jag har en vän som lider av ätstörningar, och gud vad jag hoppa att hn blir bättre snart. För hon svälter verkligen ihjäl.

[Mons1059]

Makes me come into tears, isn't this sad? But there's a happy part, there's always a light at the end of the tunel! :)

[SomeSortOfFailure]

Dear @Mons1059 It's not a light, it's a train ;__;

[TheCharley1994]

I have an eating disorder :'( I feel sorry for all the people like me aswell.

I know what everyone is going threw, nobody really understands unless they have one themselves. I've had mine for 3 years now since I was 13. I've come to turns with it.

[Beautyguru55]

@TheCharley1994 same:(



[boothimyours]

I don't know, eating disorder is probably part of it but to me this song is more about the weight of being the object of another person's obsession and how tireing it can be.

[kittykeila1]

I love this song so much!

it's always there for me(:

I can't fn find it anywhere -__-

not even on iTunes! lol

[melidere3]

where can you buy this song?

[akiratohomiko]

This song is too deep. I wish someone would tell me to eat but, nobody cares.

[ZoeeIsMe]

@akiratohomiko

I Dont Know You, But I Care.

Honest.

I Care, And I Wish You Would Eat.

If Not For Yourself, For Me, If Not For Me, For Everyone Who Hasnt Had The Pleasure To Meet You Yet.

[akiratohomiko]

@ZoeeIsMe Thank you so much. That's so sweet. I wish it was as easy as that..

[ZoeeIsMe]

@akiratohomiko

I Wish It Twas Too Dear.

[hoeeliz]

somehow i get the idea that this is how my boyfriend feels...

[MrJonnis13]

This song touch me so much..

[embrassemoi04]

Thanks for posting! I only have 2 albums in English, and I drive myself crazy trying to translate...kent <3

[MandaOwl]

Tycker nog att den svenska texten har en bättre slagkraft, men budskapet blir väldigt mycket tydligare i den engelska... jag tycker många av Kents låtar verkar handla om just en kärleksrelation till någon med anorexi/ätstörning av något slag. Se bara på "M" där hela texten känns som om det handlar om just det, och många andra där vissa rader kan tolkas på det sättet. Hemsk sjukdom :/

[hellodinosawr]

@MandaOwl its good that some bands aren't afraid to sing about eating disorders, you know? :(

[tornfageln]

@MandaOwl

M är verkligen en underbar låt, precis som den här.. har inte tänkt på den just ur ätstörningssynpunkt innan, men du har rätt! t.ex. pga frasen "I en värld byggd av män för männen" antyder ju att hon lider av en kvinnosjukdom vilket anorexi brukar uppfattas som.. kanske!

[MandaOwl]

@tornfageln Sen jag lade märke till ätstörningstemat har jag kunnat höra det i nästan varje låt :P Kanske bara inbillning :P De här verserna ur "M" tycker jag också drar åt det hållet:

"Det verkar så enkelt vännen

Ändå är det så obegripligt svårt

Ja, det verkar så enkelt vännen

Men ingenting i denna världen var

väl någonsin lätt att förstå

Jag tog en roll när du blev sjuk

En roll som krävde hårdare hud

Min kraftreserv den tar snart slut

Som min tro på en ingripande gud."

[MandaOwl]

@milonin1 Ah okej, det visste jag inte. Tack, det var intressant. Men det är som du säger, man kan ju tolka dem som man vill...
