In the haunting echoes of "The Hunter," we are swept into a poignant reflection on aging, legacy, and the cyclical nature of life. The lyrics weave a tale of introspection and decay, where strawberries symbolize fleeting moments and lost opportunities. As the protagonist grapples with their identity and memories, there's a palpable struggle between embracing the past and confronting the inevitability of change. The recurring motif of being hunted by time underscores a universal human experience—our battles with personal histories and the relentless march forward. This song ultimately serves as a melancholic ode to those who've shaped us, acknowledging that while they may guide our journeys, we must navigate our own paths through the shifting sands of time.
The Hunter
Lyrics
Woke up this morning like I always do
I still like to think that I'm new
Time just gets its way
Strawberries left to decay
Can't find my pants or my bank account
Don't you slip away
Voices that start to betray
Even though you raised me I will never be your father
King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my old man in the sea
I still like to laugh when I make a joke
I still like to think that there's hope
Time just has its say
Strawberries left to decay
Struck by the sight of an empty hall
Don't you fade away
Voices that start to betray
Even though you raised me I will never be your father
King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my old man in the sea
The hunter gets hunted
We all get confronted
Don't just slip away
Voices that start to betray
Even though you raised me I will never be your father
King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my old man in the sea
