1 | Hungry Lucy is an AlternativeDance / DarkCabaret duo from Ohio. Most of their music contains elements of both DarkWave and trip-hop, in the vein of bands like ''Switchblade Symphony,'' but they've dubbed their own genre "gypsy electronica." It has nothing to do with [[Music/GogolBordello gypsy punk]]. They were originally a CreatorCouple consisting of a vocalist called Christa Belle and a producer/programmer named Warren who calls himself War-N. Unfortunately, they are no longer a couple, and technically also no longer a band. However, War-N has still been using Hungry Lucy's name and social media accounts to announce his new projects with different vocalists. |

3 | The band's name refers to the ghost story of Havoc House. A young woman Lucy Ryan died there in 1792; according to a psychic who claimed to have channeled her, the ghost of Lucy complained incessantly about being hungry. |

16 | !!! To trope a king: |
17 | |
18 | * CoverVersion: Music/DepecheMode's "Blue Dress." |
19 | * {{Goth}}: The ethereal variety. |
20 | * IfICantHaveYou: "Could It Be?" |
21 | --> ''It's clear to me\ |
22 | If I can't have you\ |
23 | No one can\ |
24 | And no one will'' |
25 | * IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: "Rainfall" plays with this. |
26 | --> ''Behind a wall there is a boy\ |
27 | I've tried to reach for many years\ |
28 | Each time it rains I see his face\ |
29 | I offer shelter, he walks away\ |
30 | May you have brighter tomorrows\ |
31 | The past you had was shrouded in deceit\ |
32 | May you be eternally beautiful\ |
33 | The way you are, the way you are\ |
34 | To me'' |
35 | ** The lyrics "Now when it rains / I can’t see his face / I am weak / And I have failed" imply that maybe the narrator shouldn't have left the suicidal boy who she was in love with, or rather allowed him to leave her. |
36 | * LyricalDissonance: Most of Hungry Lucy's songs. Christa Belle's ethereal-sounding soprano voice only makes the effect creepier. |
37 | * PerkyGoth: Several reviews have referred to Christa Belle as one of these. |
38 | * YouAreNotAlone: "Stretch." |
39 | --> ''Why not be happy\ |
40 | With the things you have done\ |
41 | Why not be satisfied\ |
42 | You're not the only one\ |
43 | ...\ |
44 | Stretch out and be brave\ |
45 | You have your life to live\ |
46 | Love surrounding you\ |
