De, uit Dordrecht afkomstige, metalband Headhaunter
vierde vorig jaar zijn tien jarige bestaan.
De band speelt een mix van trash metal en
hardcore met rock 'n roll/stoner invloeden.
Hun unieke geluid kwam explosief tot uiting
op het laatste album "Fueled by Chaos",
dat door diverse websites (zwaremetalen, asice, roarezine)
met lof overladen werd.
Hun nieuwste single "Countdown to Chaos", te beluisteren op de myspace,
laat horen dat de band sinds het uitkomen van "Fueled by Chaos" niet
stilgezeten heeft
maar hun geluid verder heeft ontwikkeld.
Gedurende hun loopbaan is Headhaunter verandert
van een groep vrienden die graag zelf metal wilden spelen
in een ervaren band met een imposante staat van dienst.
Vooral als je bedenkt dat deze band alles DIY doet,
van het bouwen en inrichten van een oefenruimte/studio
tot het regelen van de promotie en optredens,
alles komt voor de rekening van de bandleden.
De band tourde meerdere keren in Engeland en Polen
en speelde ook vele vaderlandse zalen plat.
Headhaunter deelde onder andere het podium met
Agnostic Front, Benediction, Holy Moses en Hatesphere.

Headhaunter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listening to the synthetic purr of the
Engine as rain clouds fill the mirrors
And watch the droplets sneak their way up
On the windshield with the hologram in shock
And then she wonders how the drips feel on her skin
Drift above this neon lit metropolis
I watch the bend without a thought the forward to my origin
All these intricate components as my cold hand twitches
And artificial skin
I'm indifferent to these advertisements
Half the time is so called upgrades for a galvanized limb
Cobalt sun rays come through the tint on the spinner's windows
I just talk with that hologram while passing nintendo billboards
She tends to flicker when she's sinking
She winks and says she wishes she was real
I don't share the same ambitions
Abandoned buildings drift as silhouettes on the skyline
She shrinks in pirouettes on the dash till it's twilight
She's enamored by bright lights and her hand points to them all
I just do my job to stop these android coup-d'etats
She always talks about secrets and missing truths
I just drift of to the sound of the rain as it hits the roof
In "2049" by Headhaunter, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a dystopian, futuristic world where the singer is a detached observer. The opening lines, "I keep my mind off the bigger picture / Listening to the synthetic purr of the / Engine as rain clouds fill the mirrors," indicate that the singer is intentionally avoiding deeper contemplation and is instead focusing on the sensory experiences of being in a car. This theme continues throughout the song, with the rain, holograms, neon lights, and abandoned buildings all serving as symbols of the artificiality and detachment of this world.
Line by Line Meaning
I keep my mind off the bigger picture
I focus on the small details of my surroundings to avoid thinking about the larger problems in society
Listening to the synthetic purr of the Engine as rain clouds fill the mirrors
I find comfort in the sound of the smooth-running engine as rain clouds start to accumulate in my rearview mirrors
And watch the droplets sneak their way up On the windshield with the hologram in shock
I observe rain droplets move slowly up on the windshield, to the surprise of the hologram with me in the car
And then she wonders how the drips feel on her skin
She expresses curiosity about how the raindrops would feel if she had real skin
Drift above this neon lit metropolis
I hover above the brightly illuminated cityscape
I watch the bend without a thought the forward to my origin
I drive through a curve without much thought, only focused on reaching my destination
All I want's a drink, I don't care for program glitches
I only desire a drink and have no concern for technical malfunctions
All these intricate components as my cold hand twitches And artificial skin
I notice the complex machinery in my surroundings and realize that I am not a human, possessing synthetic skin
I'm indifferent to these advertisements
I am uninterested in the advertisements that surround me
Half the time is so called upgrades for a galvanized limb
Many of the advertised upgrades are for robotic limbs
Cobalt sun rays come through the tint on the spinner's windows
The tinted windows of the vehicle allow a cool blue light to stream in
I just talk with that hologram while passing nintendo billboards
I converse with the hologram while driving past advertisements for Nintendo
She tends to flicker when she's sinking
The hologram occasionally flickers when it is malfunctioning
She winks and says she wishes she was real
The hologram playfully hints that she longs to be a human
I don't share the same ambitions
I do not have the same aspirations as the hologram
Abandoned buildings drift as silhouettes on the skyline
Empty structures pass by in the distance, caught in the fading light
She shrinks in pirouettes on the dash till it's twilight
The hologram dances around on the dashboard until the sun sets
She's enamored by bright lights and her hand points to them all
The hologram is fascinated by the colorful lights and gestures towards them excitedly
I just do my job to stop these android coup-d'etats
My main responsibility is to prevent rebellions by robotic beings
She always talks about secrets and missing truths
The hologram frequently discusses hidden knowledge and unanswered questions
I just drift of to the sound of the rain as it hits the roof
I easily become lost in the calming sound of rain tapping against my vehicle's roof
