Aug 14, 2011 - I think it's not clear cause she has anorexy. This IS a ambiguous song. And honestly, I think it's ambiguity it's what makes it so beautiful. I don't see it as an apology to anorexy, but those are thought of a person who suffers from it.

Aug 17, 2011 - this idiot thinks this song is about a eating disorder because it has 2 words.. hunger and starving.... sounds like a personall problem... keep it that way

Ibber Says:

Aug 27, 2011 - This song isn't ambiguous, if you've ever been in a serious long term relationship that failed. Whenever you get involved, someone is likely to have personal baggage that will need to be addressed. Real love risks sharing/giving parts of yourself that you are emotionally attached to. Unfortunately, she's been hurt, let down, and has low self esteem. She thought he was a man, but he was just a little boy. It costs too much to love. Those strong feelings take time to develop.

The bottom line she is healthy Skinny not Unhealthy skinny do to eating disorder.There is an extreme difference. Her skin is glowing and healthy looking. This is natural some can't gain waitby eating junk. She has a fast metabolism it probably runs in the family.

Oct 13, 2011 - Such a great song. The trumpet makes it so much more melancholic.

Oct 28, 2011 - How can one who loves music not love fiona and this song regardless of your gender.

Oct 29, 2011 - 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.

Nov 1, 2011 - 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.

MissBeatriss Says:

Dec 1, 2011 - 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.

jpdlcj Says:

Dec 8, 2011 - 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....

Mar 21, 2012 - Honestlyi have never heard of fiona apple until I saw the movie "brides maids" & this song was playin in the scene where she made the cupcake. I was hooked by the beautiful music then I looked her up & started to listen to the lyrics. From that moment on I was an instant fiona fan. This is the only song I listen to by her at the moment cause its my favorite.

Mar 24, 2012 - She's playing the piano part on the mic at the end! Cute!

SeekThePaleSeptember Says:

Apr 23, 2012 - ~ Hmm...Really?? You've never heard of Fiona Apple until Brides Maids? Shes been making music since the late 90's. Had a cult hit with the song & video for 'Criminal' & then made waves when she won an award and declared that this world was bullshit. Which may I add, is the funniest shit I have ever heard as an acceptance speech. : )

EngelbertEdelholz Says:

Apr 25, 2012 - Well the song COULD just as well be taken literally and still be literary; for someone suffering from an eating disorder "hunger hurts" but "starving works" as it takes your mind away from absolutely everything else, it blocks reality, so to speak, and if this said person would actually suffer from an eating disorder but would be aware of her state she would hesitate to be a part of a relationship. "I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up" and "these hands are too shaky to hold" say quite a lot.

belikeacloud32 Says:

May 1, 2012 - I think that the line "Hunger hurts but starving works when it cost too much to love" Is BOTH metaphorical and literal. Meaning that her eating disorder (cus fiona apple used to have one) is taking over her life, to an extent where she cant even love even more, even though she craves the love. Just a thought.

TheDllrHAULr Says:

May 5, 2012 - The point is right there, "when it costs too much to love"~

MadCherry Says:

May 15, 2012 - poor kids dont know anything about real music, stfu and go buy the latest remixed version of lady gaga album...

May 17, 2012 - the ending was so adorable

fseurgdai Says:

May 19, 2012 - It was through Bridesmaids that I discovered this song. Now, I can't get it out of my head. I pity myself for such a late appreciation of Fiona Apple's genius.
