After spending a month in the studio, Dropsaw has finished recording their 3rd album titled HARD JUSTICE set to be released May 14th 2010. The album was recorded in San Diego, USA with As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis, Kelly Cairns and Daniel Castleman (Austrian Death Machine, Winds Of Plague, Sworn Enemy, Impending Doom). The band have taken a large step in the way of song writing, mixing it up though the album with insanely fast thrash and destructive breakdowns and keeping that 'heavy as fuck' Dropsaw sound.
The Hunter
Dropsaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
locked in this car for hours now
my hands are tied, rope bites the skin
left and right becomes one
trying to break out with no success
kicked in the face
there's no way to defend
pushing aside
no chances for freedom
every word, the hunter has told me
brutality is revenge
I realise he's gonna consume me
die, die, die
the fucker says
die, die
beg for life gets me nowhere
it's hard to breathe with a blood filled mouth
intoxicated from the smell of fear
grave is my destination
I'm not sure where I am
in the hands of a twisted man
last shout before the slaughter begins
bloods leads to satisfaction
every word the hunter has told me
brutality is revenge
I realise he's gonna consume me
I hear the blade starting up
it gets louder and louder
the blade enters my skin
this is it
the hunter has devoured me
die, die, die
the fucker says
die, die
"The Hunter" by Dropsaw describes a victim who finds themselves trapped in a car with their hands tied up. They are beaten and kicked by their captor who seems to want revenge by inflicting pain upon them. The captor tells the victim repeatedly that they are going to die, and the fear of death is ever-present. The victim is left feeling helpless and unable to defend themselves as they are consumed by fear and despair.
The repeated use of the phrase "die, die, die" emphasizes the aggressive and violent nature of the captor. The victim knows that they are in a grave situation with no hope of escape, and their impending death is the only outcome. The song highlights the concept of revenge and brutality and shows how it ultimately leads to destruction.
