The Hunter
Shy Lyrics

Stranded on the freeway
She's stuck in a place where she cannot move forward nor go back.

Waiting for a ride
She's in desperate need of someone to give her a ride.

The car pulls up beside her
A car appeared by her side, offering help.

He smiles, she gets inside
She thinks this is the solution to her problem and accepts the offer.

But he's not going her way
The driver turns out to be someone different than she thought, and he's not taking her to her destination.

As they drive into the night
They left the main roads and are now deep into the dark.

As they pull into a lot by
They arrived at some shady place or district.

Something is not right
She realizes that she's in trouble and feels uneasy.

Mama's getting worried
Someone cares for her and is concerned about her welfare.

It's getting very late
Time is passing by, and she's not yet home.

The other side of midnight
It's long past the typical hour she's supposed to be home.

She should've been home by eight
She's expected to be somewhere, but she's not there yet.

And in the early morning
Time has passed, and it's now closer to the next day.

All the headlines read the same
Tragedy occurred again, and it's been all over the news.

Just another helpless victim
She's become part of the statistics, another name on a long list of victims.

As the killer strikes again
Someone is out there hunting for prey.

And the hunter becomes the hunted
The tables have turned, and the one once chasing has now become the target.

Now the hunter, the hunter's on the run
The one who used to be in control is now panicking and fleeing.

For the hunter, the chase has just begun
The prey has responded, and the game of cat and mouse is now in motion.

Daylight hours are over
She's alone, and it's not safe anymore.

As she walks across the park
She's going through a dangerous area where anything can happen.

A school clock strikes the hour
Time is ticking, reminding her of her obligations and how late it is.

As she hurries through the dark
She's making a run for it.

Footsteps in the shadows
Someone is following her, lurking in the darkness.

Slowly echo all around
The sound is getting louder and makes her anxious.

With a sudden flash of steel
Her pursuer shows his weapon, and she knows what's coming.

She stumbles to the ground
She's powerless and falls to the mercy of her attacker.

This world's caught up in the madness
The world is a place where danger lurks everywhere, and sanity is out of control.

Is there no end to the sadness
It seems like grief and tragedy are never-ending.

No escape, no escape
There's no way out, and nowhere is safe.

Another night, another life
Another day, another tragedy - a cycle that never ends.

Break the rules and pay the price
Consequences come with every action, and some of them are severe.

But it's too late
Regret comes too late, and the damage is already done.

So she takes a shortcut
She takes the easiest way home, but it's also the most dangerous.

Through the alleys all alone
Going through deserted streets, where no one can hear her scream.

Now the party's over
Her night has come to an end.

She's making tracks for home
She's trying to get home as fast as she can.

Should've took the warning
She should have listened to her instincts and stayed away from danger.

Should've gone home with her friends
She shouldn't have left her companions, who could have watched out for her.

Just another life on the edge of a knife
Life is unpredictable and hazardous, and everything is possible, even the worst of scenarios.

The story never ends
This is not a fairy tale with a happy ending; life goes on, and things like this will continue to happen.
