Hunter
Alifeoncelost Lyrics

The lyrics to Alifeoncelost's song Hunter describe an overwhelming sense of anxiety and panic that overcomes the singer. The use of the words "panic" and "shock" suggests that the feeling has come on suddenly and without warning. The line "there is nothing to admire" suggests a sense of hopelessness, as if the singer feels powerless to change their situation. The lack of liberation further emphasises a sense of entrapment, and a feeling of being imprisoned by their own thoughts.

The line "malice now exists inside my head" is particularly powerful, suggesting that the anxious thoughts are turning against the singer themselves. The following lines, "crush and rebuild, destroy and organise", are both contradictory and complementary, suggesting an internal battle. The singer may feel like they are falling apart, but they are also trying to rebuild themselves and their thoughts.

By the end of the song, the singer has found some sense of agency. They are "stand[ing] above" the devastation, which suggests a degree of perspective. The line "words form blindly to express my feelings" suggests that the singer is trying to articulate their thoughts but may still be struggling. The final line, "anxious thoughts, torment now exists inside my head" shows that the singer is still feeling overwhelmed, but there is a sense that they are beginning to face their fears and confront their anxieties.
