Greed
Hunter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hi... I'm a dream...
When I die...
You will die with (for) me...
But I can feed...
All Your life to final act of greed
Hear my name...
Sssuckin' voice from Your deep inside
Sensless pain... (isn't it...?)
Now prepare...
To come and walk my way!
Walk my way!

Sweet dreams...

Callin' my name...
You can hear...
What satisfies Your greed
I want You...
Walkin' my way...
I can show You...
What You want to be...

I can see...
King (Queen) of pain
I am proud of You
But do not fail...
Disapointment -
Suffering never ends
Hear my voice...
All You need - I'll satisfy You well...
Don't be ashamed...
ON YOUR KNEES!!!
TO PRAY AND CALL MY NAME!!!

CALL MY NAME!!!
Sweet dreams...

Callin' my name...
You can hear...
What satisfies Your greed
I want You...




Walkin' my way...
I can show You... what You want to be!!!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Greed by Hunter are quite dark and disturbing, as they describe a mysterious and powerful figure who promises to fulfill any desire or wish, but who ultimately leads people to their destruction. The first stanza introduces this mysterious figure as a dream-like entity that will somehow cause the listener's death, but also promises to feed on their entire life until the final act of greed. The use of the pronoun "You" suggests that the figure is addressing an individual listener directly, as if trying to lure them into their grasp.


The second stanza expands on this theme, as the figure calls out to the listener and promises to satisfy their greed, showing them what they want to be. The phrase "King (Queen) of pain" could be interpreted as a reference to the legendary figure of the Marquis de Sade, who was known for his obsession with pleasure and pain. However, the figure also warns the listener not to fail or be disappointed, as suffering never ends.
