Hunter
Fate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the middle of the night
On spiked heels and pants so tight
On a dark and empty alley
On the way home to the kids
She works nine to five
But that won't keep them alive
When the sun goes down
And they're safe and sound
She goes hunting in the streets
Never knowing who she'll meet

She's a hunter, hunter at night
She goes hunting in the streets
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night

She was young and threw the dice
Didn't mind to sacrifice
Her youth to a young well spoken man
Now she's paying the price
Through a mist of rain and tears
She hears voices in her ears
A different man for every hour
And a pain that won't disappear
Never knowing who'll be near

She's a hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night

(She's a) hunter, hunter at night
She goes hunting in the streets
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night
Hunter, hunter at night




She's the girl that you can meet
Hunter, hunter at night

Line by Line Meaning

In the middle of the night
When it is dark outside


On spiked heels and pants so tight
Wearing uncomfortable but attractive clothing


On a dark and empty alley
In a desolate and dangerous place


On the way home to the kids
Heading towards her children


She works nine to five
Has a typical office job


But that won't keep them alive
Her job doesn't provide enough to keep her family safe


When the sun goes down
As night falls


And they're safe and sound
Once her children are in a secure location


She goes hunting in the streets
She prowls the city in search of something


Never knowing who she'll meet
Without knowledge of who she might encounter


She was young and threw the dice
Making a deliberate decision as a youth


Didn't mind to sacrifice
Was willing to give something up


Her youth to a young well spoken man
Her young years to a smooth-talking gentleman


Now she's paying the price
Suffering the consequences of her choices


Through a mist of rain and tears
In a state of emotional confusion


She hears voices in her ears
Her mind is tortured by things she's heard


A different man for every hour
She sleeps with multiple men


And a pain that won't disappear
Her emotional distress cannot be eased


Never knowing who'll be near
Unsure of who she will come across


She's a hunter, hunter at night
She aggressively pursues something in the dark


She's the girl that you can meet
Despite her situation, she is approachable


Hunter, hunter at night
Pursuing something in darkness
