Hole To Feed

The lyrics move between connection and hurt. The speaker begins with confidence in a shared bond, saying that another person matters deeply. But shame, painful words, and “games” have caused damage. The speaker still hopes for something better, while trying to hold on to pride and avoid being broken.

“Shame has a hold” suggests a feeling that traps people and makes it hard for them to move forward. By contrast, the other person’s kindness is described as opening the speaker’s eyes, as if it has made a more hopeful world possible. The image of “another hole to feed” suggests that getting what you want may not bring lasting satisfaction: a new need or emptiness can take its place. “Broken inside” describes emotional pain rather than physical injury.

The song holds two ideas together: people can share love and a sense of purpose, yet still hurt one another or struggle with unmet needs. The repeated claim that “we are here” may express gratitude for being alive and connected, or a determination to keep trying. The lyrics do not explain exactly what the relationship or conflict is, so the “hole” could refer to personal longing, repeated desire, or some other kind of emptiness.
