"Caught between two worlds with nowhere to hide
Lived a half-breed Cajun boy named Antoine
Papa would try to teach him wrong from right
And mama would teach him how to hold his own"
In these opening lines, the singer describes Antoine, a half-breed Cajun boy who finds himself stuck between two worlds without a safe place to go. Antoine's father tries to teach him the difference between right and wrong, while his mother shows him how to fend for himself. It's clear that the boy is struggling to navigate this complex, conflicting reality.
"His papa died when he was just a child
Left him with a shotgun and a hunting knife
Since then he's been trying to survive
In a world where men are hunted like the game"
Antoine's father passed away when he was young, leaving him with only a shotgun and a hunting knife to defend himself. From then on, he has been struggling to make it in a world where men are seen as nothing more than prey. It's a harsh reality, and one that Antoine must face every day.
Overall, these lyrics tell the story of a young man who is caught between two worlds and struggling to survive. He is constantly reminded of the reality of his situation - a reality where danger is always just around the corner. It's a powerful, poignant message that reminds us of the importance of resilience, strength, and survival in the midst of adversity.
