Lyrics meaning
The speaker describes intense devotion to someone, while also feeling uncertain and in need of change and truth. At first, love seems to draw them closer even as they feel they are returning to where they began. As the song develops, they surrender what they have been holding onto and commit themselves to staying with this person, despite not knowing what comes next.
โStarving for truthโ uses hunger as a metaphor for a powerful need to understand or find honesty. โCompletely incompleteโ suggests feeling unfinished or lacking, yet willing to accept an invitation and give oneself fully. The phrase โhanging by a momentโ can suggest being suspended in an uncertain present, waiting for the other person to act or for the situation to change. โDiving intoโ something also implies entering it without knowing what lies ahead.
The lyrics can be heard as a love song about trust and surrender, but the speakerโs uncertainty leaves room for a more uneasy reading. They say they are running without knowing where to go and are waiting for the other person to make them move. This could express hopeful commitment, emotional dependence, or both; the song does not fully resolve that tension.
