about this song
"Abbey" speaks about the theme of hunger, desire, waiting and darkness. The lyrics suggest that the narrator has been searching for something or someone all her life, but has not found it yet. The lines "I am hungry, I have been hungry, I was born hungry" highlight the narrator's unfulfilled desires. She is constantly searching for something, but doesn't know what exactly. The chorus suggests that the narrator can only see the light when there's darkness in her.
