Bird of Prey
Bifrost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I cannot catch you - I only see mists of grey
Will the hunter be the hunted ?
Will he be trapped in your net ?
Will he ever catch his prey ?
You will understand now... I am bird of prey
I am bird of prey
The prey is openly guarded
But what if the keeper has departed ?
Then I will hunt you down, ha ha !
And share your blood and your flesh
Will the hunter be the hunted ?
Will he be trapped in your net ?
Will he ever catch his prey ?
You will understand now... I am bird of prey
I am bird of prey
My attack will be unexpected but don't say you were not warned
I would like to feel your heart and your sensual inner warmth
In the end we will be as one, your soul will celebrate with mine
Together we will pass gates unknown as we slowly on my wings drift away
Will the hunter be the hunted ?
Will he be trapped in your net ?
Will he ever catch his prey ?
You will understand now... I am bird of prey
I am bird of prey
The lyrics of Bifrost's song "Bird of Prey" depict the perspective of a predator, specifically a bird of prey, who is hunting its desired prey. The predator acknowledges its own limitations, conceding that it is incapable of catching its prey but only observing its movements through "the mists of grey." The lyrics create an atmosphere of suspense, as the predator contemplates whether it will become the "hunted" or be "trapped" in its prey's net.
The bridge of the song, however, takes a surprising turn as the perspective shifts to a more sensual one. The predator declares its desire to "feel [its prey's] heart and sensual inner warmth" and suggests that the two will become "as one" when the prey is finally caught. The song takes on an ethereal tone as the predator envisions the two passing through "gates unknown" and drifting away on the predator's wings.
Overall, the lyrics of "Bird of Prey" present a unique perspective on the predator-prey relationship and explore themes of desire, vulnerability, and the unknown.
