The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game
Grace Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place
Oh yeah, secretly I been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbit
Had to get you and so I knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Oh, you were the catch that I was after
But I looked up and I was in your arms and I knew that I was captured
What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me like a sudden slap
One kiss and then I knew it
Oh, my plans didn't work out like I thought
'Cause I had laid my trap for you but it seems like I got caught
What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
The lyrics of Grace Jones's song 'Hunter Gets Captured by the Game' touch on the concept of the hunter becoming the hunted. The artist sings about a person who had been secretly following and spying on someone they were interested in, comparing themselves to a fox stalking a rabbit. But after they finally capture the object of their desire, they find themselves unexpectedly falling in love and being trapped in the other person's arms. The lyrics suggest that even the most calculated and calculated efforts to pursue someone might ultimately lead to an unforeseen outcome.
While it is possible to see the lyrics as a simple love song, it's also possible to interpret it as a commentary on power dynamics and control. The language of the song suggests that there is a power balance between the hunter and the prey, with the hunter ultimately seeking to take control of the situation. However, when the hunter is unexpectedly captured by the game, this power dynamic is reversed.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of unpredictability and the ways in which relationships can surprise us. Despite our best-laid plans, we can never truly know how someone else will respond to our actions and intentions.
