      Anyone can have anorexia. Male, female, rich, poor, anyone. But people only really care when girls have it, because guys are meant to just suck it up. I’m a male and I myself have anorexia. So that’s why it makes me so pissed when people erase the fact that men can have it as well

      I get what people are saying but you have to understand that (1) this can be a part of changing yourself for others and (2) anorexia makes you think that when you are skinny lITERALLY EVERYTHING IN YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER because thats how it keeps you stuck in the illness :/

    Not gonna eat anything 'til then.
    I'm gonna look so skinny.
    She'll wanna feel my bones against her skin.
    And I rehearse my greeting.
    I say hello without too much intent.
    She gonna think I'm dreamy,
    She'll wanna show me off to all her friends.
    Yeah you know she would!
    (Yeah you know she would)
    Yeah you know she would.
    I'm manifesting love and fate
    I am a man and I confess I fake.
    When I go hungry, I go nail and tooth.
    When I go hungry, I go hungry, I go hungry for the truth.
    I didn't write no book on love
    I picked it up then put it down, it didn't get me off the top.
    Yeah, yeah
    In my design I will be funny
    In my design she'll have a laugh that can't pretend.
    In my design I will have money.
    I'll grab the tab and I will tip sixty percent.
    I'm manifesting love and fate
    I am a man so I must be insane.
    When I go hungry, I go through the bone
    When I go hungry, I go hungry, I will eat my little ones
    I thought I wrote the book on fun
    Until I put it out to find I couldn't sell a single one
    Yeah, yeah
    I'm manifesting love and fate
    I am a man and I confess I fake.
    When I go hungry, I go nail and tooth.

    I love this album, although The Sticks was my favorite of their albums, VGBT, I think, might take that spot, mostly because of this song.
    Man I love this band. I never get tired of listening to them. They're symphonic and artistic, but also catchy and rhythmic and I just...words can't describe the good feels sometimes, y'know?

    when I heard this song for the first time I cried. bc like from the first line I did the exact same thing. and ik I'm not a man (not a woman either, my pronouns are they/them and I ask that if you reply to this comment you respect that). but I literally had a first date with this girl from across the hall at college and I literally didn't eat for days beforehand (because we were going out to a restaurant that night). and like we would do casual hangouts and my stomach would growl a little and she'd ask if I wanted food and I so desperately wanted to say yes but I couldn't because I needed to look skinny for her. I hate my brain, I never had any problems with eating until college (bc I always had to eat at home but I had the option not to show up to a meal at college and nobody would notice).

    Ryan to CBC in 2014: "I've gotten into the habit recently of trying to remember what the song is about as I'm playing it. It helps somehow. We kind of forget what the sentiment is about. I think that applies well to I Go Hungry because I really relate to its story."
    Also 2014, from an article: “I like talking about the dark and dirty of the human condition - I Go Hungry isn’t specifically about male eating disorders, it’s more about just the foolhardy nature of people,” Guldemond says.
    Given that Ryan has stated since then that he has a long-standing disorder of cyclically under-eating and binge eating, I glean from all this that the song is REFERENCING an eating disorder, however it is ABOUT the broader and more common psychological context in which eating disorders can exist. It's mentioning ED behaviours as an example of the many different unhealthy ways that social anxiety, loneliness and status anxiety can manifest. Same as if your way of dealing with insecurity was alcohol abuse, then when writing an insecurity song you would likely mention the phenomenon of drinking for confidence.
    I think the people who argue that the food restriction lines are just metaphorical, because the song is about something else, are missing the fact that EATING DISORDERS are almost always about something else. Meaning, they are developed as a distraction from something, or from all unpleasant experiences in life, and turn compulsive over time. So any song exploring eating disorders, by someone with lived experience, should be EXPECTED to mention deeper issues than just food and body image. Instead people are seeing the mention of non-body image concerns as evidence that the ED lines are metaphorical. That suggests that you don't understand that EDs are complex, and that you can't separate a person's obsession with weight control from whatever deeper problems the obsession distracts them from.

      Emily Skye Well, they have a couple of songs that deal with anorexia (O Ana, Body of Years), but I think hunger is used here as an example of how people don't really understand love and dating. I'll just be fake and starve myself so I'm super skinny and she likes me. He hungers for truth, but finds only the superficial. The first stanza is a hilarious critique of our dating culture: be bony and aloof and she'll think you're the tits! He isn't actually saying this is a good plan: "I thought I wrote the book on fun until I put it out to find I couldn't sell a single one."

    Your body is designed to keep you at a minimum weight that is actually healthy for you. Which is much higher than bullshit beauty standards that got conflated with allegations of being healthier. Diets and/or skipping meals make it worse because your body think you're about to starve and will change your metabolism to prevent that.
    Your body deserves credit for taking good care of you. It deserves to be loved. And when you do, others will love it, too.
    I know it's hard to love yourself after everything you've internalized, but hang in there!
