Hunter
Blue Cheer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They call me the Hunter and Lord, that's my name
A pretty woman (girl) like you child are my only game
I bought me a love gun just the other day
Lord, and I aim to aim it your way
Ain't no use to hide
No there ain't no use to run
Cause I got you in the sights of my........
My love gun, my love gun, my love gun
God-dammed!


The first Time I saw you walkin' down the street
I said to myself, "Boom! Boom! Ain't she sweet!"
I got my love gun loaded
Loaded with a-huggin' and kissin'
And when I pull the trigger
There ain't gonna be no missin'
Ain't no use to hide
No there ain't no use to run
Cause I got you in the sights of my........




My love gun, my love gun, my love gun
God-dammed!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Blue Cheer’s “Hunter” are about a man who calls himself the Hunter, with the intentions of pursuing his “game,” which in this case is a woman. He compares himself to a person aiming a gun, indicating that he is deadly serious about his mission to win her over. The singer says that he has a love gun and that he recently purchased it, with the aim of using it on her. He asserts that there is no point in her trying to hide or run from him because he has her in his sights.


The Hunter’s intentions are quite clear and alarming, with the use of the gun being a metaphor for the seductive tactics he intends to use to win over the woman. The lyrics are suggestive, with the use of the term “love gun” recurring throughout the song. The metaphor of the gun is further reinforced with lines such as “I got my love gun loaded with a-huggin’ and kissin,” indicating that the Hunter is prepared to use any means necessary to win the woman over.


Overall, the lyrics to “Hunter” are a clear indication of the lengths some people will go to pursue their romantic interests. The use of violent metaphors is alarming and may be interpreted as a form of toxic masculinity or toxic behaviour in general, which should not be ignored.
