Rangers
A Fine Frenzy(어 파인 프렌지) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The crumbs are gone and the way, and the way is lost
Melancholy phantoms eye our skins
Poison apples falling with the wind
Hear the sigh of the trees
Those who enter here never leave
They are the hunters
We are the rabbits
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want to be found
Further in and on we go
Sightless creatures tugging at our clothes
Cutting through the twilight, sword in hand
Strangers once united against the land
At the sound of the bells
They're pulling paper lanterns from their shelves
The rangers stream out of their cabins
They are the hunters and we are the rabbits
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want you tracking us down
The rangers stream out of their cabins
Raising their muskets
Flashing their badges
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want to be found
They keep hiding a quiet like
They'll keep sneaking
But they won't find us
They'll keep living a quiet life
You and I
You and I
The ranger scream out of their cabins
They are the hunters,
We are the rabbits
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want you tracking us down
The rangers stream out of their cabins
Raising their muskets,
Flashing their badges
Maybe we don't want to be found
Maybe we don't want to be found
In "Rangers," A Fine Frenzy creates a dark and eerie atmosphere through her poetic lyrics. The first part of the song gives a sense of being lost and surrounded by danger. It describes the skin being eyed by melancholy phantoms and poison apples falling with the wind. The second part intensifies this feeling of being hunted as the rangers stream out of their cabins as hunters. The repetition of the line "maybe we don't want to be found" creates a sense of defiance against being pursued.
The third part of the song introduces the idea of unity against the land with strangers fighting together against something unknown. However, the sound of bells signals the rangers' arrival, and they raise their muskets, flashing their badges. The final part suggests hiding and escaping as a solution against the hunters. The song ends with the repetition of the line "maybe we don't want to be found," providing a haunting feeling of uncertainty and defiance.
Line by Line Meaning
The paths have been crossed
We have journeyed far and our roads have intertwined
The crumbs are gone and the way, and the way is lost
Our guideposts have vanished, leaving us with no path to follow
Melancholy phantoms eye our skins
An eerie presence looms over us, causing us great sadness
Poison apples falling with the wind
Dangerous temptations blow our way, causing us harm
Hear the sigh of the trees
The trees are speaking to us, warning us of our surroundings
Those who enter here never leave
This is a place of no return, where those who enter will not come out
And the rangers stream out of their cabins
The authorities are on high alert and coming out in large numbers
They are the hunters
The authorities are pursuing us, seeing us as prey
We are the rabbits
We are defenseless and vulnerable, running for our lives
Maybe we don't want to be found
We may be purposely avoiding being discovered
Further in and on we go
We press onward, despite the danger and uncertainty
Sightless creatures tugging at our clothes
Unknown forces are attempting to hinder and slow us down
Cutting through the twilight, sword in hand
We are battling our way through the confusing and ominous darkness
Strangers once united against the land
Despite our differences, we once stood together against a common enemy
At the sound of the bells
A warning signal has been given, causing panic and chaos
They're pulling paper lanterns from their shelves
The authorities are preparing for a search in the dark
Raising their muskets
The authorities are ready for battle
Flashing their badges
The authorities are asserting their power and authority
They keep hiding a quiet life
We are hiding from the world, living a quiet and obscure existence
They'll keep sneaking but they won't find us
The authorities may continue searching, but they will not succeed in finding us
They'll keep living a quiet life
The authorities may also be living obscure lives, away from the public eye
You and I
We are in this together, facing the challenges as a team
