The Hungry Years

Neil Sedaka

Transposer:

Girl we made it to the top we went so high we couldn’t stop We climbed the ladder leading us nowhere two of us together building castles in the air we spun so fast we couldnt tell the gold ring from the carousel How could we know the ride would turn out bad Everything we wanted was everything we had I miss the hungry years The once upon a time The lovely long ago We didn’t have a dime those days of me and you We lost along the way How could I be so blind Not to see the door Closing on the world I now hunger for Looking through my tears I miss the hungry years back to start We shared our daydreams one by one Making plans was so much fun We set our goals and reached the highest star Things that we were after Were much better from afar Here we stand just me and you With everything and nothing too It wasn’t worth the price we had to pay Honey take me home Let’s go back to yesterday I miss the hungry years The once upon a time The lovely long ago We didn’t have a dime those days of me and you We lost along the way How could I be so blind Not to see the door Closing on the world I now hunger for Looking through my tears I miss the hungry years I miss the hungry years

La chanson évoque la nostalgie d'une époque révolue où l’amour était simple et authentique. Elle raconte l'ascension d'un couple qui, bien que parvenu à un certain sommet, réalise que tout ce qui compte vraiment était ce qu'ils avaient lorsqu'ils n'avaient rien. En regardant en arrière, il se rend compte qu'ils ont perdu la connexion et les rêves qui les unissaient, remplacés par des choses matérielles qui ne comblent pas le vide. Le narrateur éprouve un profond regret de ne pas avoir vu les signes annonciateurs de cette perte, se remémorant ces "années de faim" où chaque moment partagé était précieux et rempli de promesses.
