According to the band's frontman Luke Beardham, the title of the album and the song of the same name, originally referring to Chinese Buddhism, was taken from the book Culture Jam by Canadian civil activist Kalle Lasna and allegorically implies a person who, in an effort to fulfill his desire loses himself.[3] Boredam has also said Hungry Ghost "dealt with the spiritual skeleton we’ve become from this spoon-fed reality."[4]
All music is composed by Violent Soho.
