Predator
E-Type Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're leaving for the night
She'll make you think that
She is playing fair
That's the real start of the fight
So when you're feeling kinda lonely
That's when you see her come your way
But there is only hell to pay
Just before the darkness
She does it every day
A drink before the war
This is the way she plays the game
So if you can just turn around here
Before she traps you in her maze
Time has come to hide away your fear
Cause you've seen her real face
So when you're feeling kinda lonely
That's when you see her come your way
You think that you're the one and only
But there is only hell to pay
Just before the darkness
She's ready to betray
She prays on every weakness
You and me are meant to pay
Just before the darkness
She does it every day
A drink before the war
This is the way she plays the game
The song "Predator" by Swedish musician E-Type is a cautionary tale about a dangerous and manipulative woman who preys on men. The song warns the listener to beware of her charms, as she may seem innocent at first, but will ultimately lead them down a path of destruction. The opening lines introduce the theme, with the singer warning "you gotta know that she is out there," meaning that there is someone like this out in the world, waiting to strike. The second line sets the scene, with the suggestion that the woman operates at night, perhaps in the context of the club scene or nightlife.
The chorus repeats the message that the woman is only interested in causing harm. She may seem like she is playing fair, but this is all part of the game. Lonely men are particularly vulnerable to her, and she may make them feel special, but in reality, they are just another victim. The second verse makes it clear that the woman is consistent in her approach. She always "does it every day," and the "drink before the war" is a metaphor for her luring men to their own destruction. The final lines of the song reiterate the danger and the inevitability of the predator's actions, with the phrase "you and me are meant to pay."
Line by Line Meaning
You gotta know that she is out there
Be aware, she is lurking and ready to strike
When you're leaving for the night
As you depart, she could be waiting
She'll make you think that
She is playing fair
That's the real start of the fight
She lures you in with a facade of fairness, then the battle begins
So when you're feeling kinda lonely
That's when you see her come your way
You think that you're the one and only
But there is only hell to pay
When your vulnerability is high, she preys on you, making you feel special before causing chaos
Just before the darkness
She does it every day
A drink before the war
This is the way she plays the game
Before her nefarious actions, she intoxicates herself, setting the stage for her malicious gameplay
So if you can just turn around here
Before she traps you in her maze
Time has come to hide away your fear
Cause you've seen her real face
If you can notice her presence, escape before she ensnares you in her complex web, and remember her true nature
Just before the darkness
She's ready to betray
She prays on every weakness
You and me are meant to pay
As the night approaches its end, she prepares to betray, exploiting the vulnerabilities of anyone in her path
Just before the darkness
She does it every day
A drink before the war
This is the way she plays the game
This is her routine, a cycle of harmful behavior before and in anticipation of the inevitable conflict.
