@noam2205 from my understand i think what she means is that hunger hurts cause she needs something to feed her emptiness, starving works cause she's filled with love and joy... it's metaphoric and it's cool that we all try to find the real interpretation of the lyrics... love her....

Listening to recent female singers like Adele makes me sad. Sad because the "best" right now can't even compete with the likes of Fiona. Don't nobody use metaphors in their sad songs anymore? Damn.

I love this woman's work; I Pray she releases another project...indie or big record company or via the Internet...she is a TRUE artist!

She is not only beautiful. She is not only a good singer. She had a very hard life and now she is telling it to us. She is magnificent.

@Starskysea People with eating disorders will look for anything that can remotely refer to one in a song. Like many troubled individuals, they're just looking for something to relate with.

@stdavross666 How can one who loves music not love fiona and this song regardless of your gender.

Is it just me or the whole paper bag thing funny?? Am I weird because I like this song and i am a bloke??

Such a great song. The trumpet makes it so much more melancholic.

GENIUS..........THATS ALL I HAVE
Wow, I can't see how this song is about eating disorders. I understand the 'hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love' line as meaning that even though it hurts to stay away from the person you love, it's an effective method when you know that that love is hopeless'...it's not meant to be interpreted literally, 'hunger' here is a metaphor for being away from the person you want.

"hunger hurts but starving works, when it costs too much to love" I thought it was pretty clear that the hunger was not literal, and she is not starving herself from food, but from the companionship she craves?
