Hunter
Bjork / Homogenic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If travel is searching
And home has been found
I'm not stopping
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter
I'll bring back the goods
I thought I could organize freedom
How Scandinavian of me
En-cha-le-li
En-cha-le
You sussed it out, didn't you?
Yeah!
You could smell it
So you left me on my own
To complete the mission
Now I'm leaving it all behind
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter
I'm going hunting
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter
I'm the hunter
Ooh
The lyrics to Bjork's song "Hunter" from her album Homogenic are an interesting reflection on the contrasts between freedom and the search for home. The opening lines "If travel is searching and home has been found, I'm not stopping, I'm going hunting" suggest that while the singer may have found a sense of belonging, she is still restless and constantly seeking new experiences.
The phrase "I thought I could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me" is particularly intriguing, as it suggests a certain self-awareness on the part of the singer. The idea of trying to organize something as inherently chaotic and fluid as freedom seems doomed to fail, yet Bjork seems to have tried regardless. The use of the phrase "how Scandinavian of me" may be a nod to the cultural influences that have shaped her and her music.
The final lines of the song, "Now I'm leaving it all behind, I'm going hunting, I'm the hunter" suggest a determination to keep searching, even at the cost of leaving behind what has been found. The repeated use of the phrase "I'm the hunter" reinforces the idea that Bjork is not content to simply exist in one place or mindset - she is constantly on the move, seeking new knowledge and experiences.

Ooh
An expression of excitement, anticipation or awe
If travel is searching and home has been found
If traveling serves the purpose of finding something and home provides the same, opposite feeling
I'm not stopping, I'm going hunting
I will continue to pursue something I want and I won't give up easily
I'm the hunter, I'll bring back the goods, but I don't know when
I'm the one who is chasing a goal or opportunity, and I will achieve it, but I'm not sure about the timeline
I thought I could organize freedom, how Scandinavian of me
I believed I could plan and structure something as abstract as freedom, which is a paradoxical idea. This thought is very much like a Scandinavian attitude of wanting to be in control of everything.
En-cha-le-li, En-cha-le, you sussed it out, didn't you? Yeah!
This is a nonsensical phrase that expresses how the person's opponent has figured out what they're trying to do or say.
You could smell it, so you left me on my own, to complete the mission, now I'm leaving it all behind
You understood my intention, so you left me alone to carry out my plan, and now that I have almost achieved it, I'm giving up everything in pursuit of it.
I'm going hunting, I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter, I'm going hunting, I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter, I'm the hunter. Ooh
This chorus reaffirms the person's mindset that they are the one who is leading or initiating the search, and they won't stop until they've succeeded

Canción: Cazador
Para el capítulo 2 de Sins Of The Wreckers
Letra subtitulada por Google 😅
Si el viaje está buscando
Y a casa lo que se ha encontrado
No voy a parar
Voy a cazar
Yo soy el cazador
Traeré la mercancía de vuelta
Pero no sé cuándo
Pensé que podía organizar la libertad
Qué escandinavo de mi parte
(parte islandesa)
Elgar hann bidur eftir mer
(Parte desesperándica)
Hann puede
Lo has dicho, ¿no?
Podías olerlo
Así que me dejaste sola
Para completar la misión
Ahora lo dejo todo atrás
Voy a cazar
Yo soy el cazador
(¡Simplemente no me conocías!)
(¡Simplemente no me conocías!)
