About This Track

'Starve' by Code Orange is a 2014 metal track from the album 'I Am King'. The lyrics fixate on compulsion and obsession, describing a downward pull where healing fails and a kind of permanent dying is imagined. With talk in circles and pressure closing in, the voice frames the experience as intimate and consuming, then flips to a cold empathy, ending with the admission that, though it is not felt personally, it is understood. One line sums up the emotional logic: “This obsession drags you downward”.

"Starve" is a track by Code Orange, from the album I Am King, released 1st September 2014. The track is 3:49 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Code Orange.

Lyrics

Starve

It's the compulsion that blurs the lines
This obsession drags you downward

You talk in circles
You feel the pressure
When healing is failing
You'll die forever

Every ounce is a watermark
Every reflective glance tears you apart
I've never felt what you feel
But I know we feel together

You talk in circles
You feel the pressure
When healing is failing
You'll die forever

You talk in circles
You feel the pressure
When healing is failing
You'll die forever

When you starve
When you starve, I starve
When you starve
When you starve, I starve
We starve no more
We starve no more
