Backed by the sound of an EKG, creatively recreated by Clint's guitar, the pulse of Dan's kick drum and Manny's bass-line that lingers between life and death, her voice breaks down even the biggest critics."

Hunter
Anyone's Guess Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can't help that you're a hunter
And you've been digging this deep hole
And pretending you are neutral,
Trapping all your victims whole

You've been telling the bystanders
Bloody skins under your claws
That you're just there to understand us

But little do their poor souls know.

Take it away,
Take it away!
And I'll still
See the light in the moving shadows.
Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!

In the dark I heard your heart beat,
As calculated as it's cold.
And now I know I'm just another pawn at your feet
That you'll use to fill the void you call your soul.

Chorus:
Take it away,
Take it away!
And I'll still
See the light in the moving shadows.
Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!

The road they walk on is illusion
And soon they'll take the fall
And they all will go down under
Without cushion for their blow
The road they walk on is illusion
And soon they'll take the fall
And they all will go down under
Without cushion for their blow

Chorus:
Take it away,
Take it away!
And I'll still
See the light in the moving shadows.
Take it away! Take it away! Take it away!

The road they walk on is illusion

Overall Meaning

"Hunter" by Anyone's Guess is a searing indictment of a manipulative individual who preys upon the vulnerability and trust of those around them. The lyrics depict this person as a "hunter" who has dug themselves into a deep hole of deceit and treachery. Despite their claims of neutrality, they are in fact trapping their victims whole, while pretending to be understanding and empathetic. The chorus repeatedly calls for them to be taken away, while acknowledging that even in their absence, the light in the moving shadows remains visible.

The second verse of the song takes on a more personal note, as the singer reflects on their own experience of being used as a pawn by the hunter. They describe the hunter's heart as cold and calculated, and recognize that they themselves were simply a means to an end for the hunter. The chorus continues to emphasize the need to remove the hunter from the situation, but also points out the illusory nature of the road that their victims walk on - the hunter has created a false reality that will ultimately lead to their downfall.

Overall, "Hunter" is a powerful song that speaks to the importance of being wary of those who would manipulate and exploit others. Its message is both universal and deeply personal, and its driving energy and catchy melody make it an unforgettable track.
