1) Vixen is an all-fem… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Vixen is an all-female rock band who had numerous hits on their first two albums in the late 80's/early 90's. Their hits included Edge of a Broken Heart, Cryin', How Much Love and Love is a Killer. The band split at the height of their success, following their second release, Rev It Up due to creative differences with regards to songwriting and the band's musical direction. There was a third studio album in '98 entitle Tangerine although this was released by only Janet Gardner and Roxy Petrucci with the help of some unknown players and against the wishes of Vixen founder and copyright owner Jan Kuehnemund. The result was a rather protracted legal battle.
After some ill-fated reunions for various tours and projects, Vixen returned with a stable line-up and started touring again. They released a new album in fall of 2006 called Live and Learn. The current members are Jan Keuhnemund on guitar, Lynn Louise Lowrey on bass, Kat Kraft on drums, and Jenna Sanz-Agero on vocals. The album was produced by Dennis MacKay who produced the bands debut in the late 80's.
2) Vixen was also a female-fronted hard rock band from the early 80's, though the rest of the band was male. Most notably, ex-Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman was in this band. A 2004 2-disc compilation entitled The Works includes essentially everything recorded by this band.
3) Vixen is a Polish rapper and producer.
4) Vixen aka Antonina Karakostova is a Bulgarian-born and Copenhagen-based DJ and producer. Since 2017 she has been gaining momentum both in the Danish scene and
internationally, delivering uncompromising vinyl-focused fast techno sets which combine straightforward techno with industrial, trance and acid influences. In parallel, she is also developing her sound as a producer with pending releases on labels Space Trax (DE) and Sacred Interface (DK).
Cryin'
Vixen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wrapped my heart around your finger so easily, yeah
With your centerfold body going through the moves
Why did I keep wasting the truth for you, tonight
Chorus:
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you, 'cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin', 'cause those days are gone, gone
You're a nightmare everywhere, disguised as a dream
Well I got lost, wandering through the darkness in your maze of lies
Your trapdoor-way right into my insides, but tonight
I won't be cryin', cryin', when I think about you, 'cause I opened my eyes
And I won't be cryin', cryin'
The tears are falling to the floor, but you won't catch me cryin' anymore
(Solo)
chorus repeats out
The lyrics to Vixen's song "Cryin'" portray a woman who has been wrapped up in a toxic relationship. The opening line, "One look and I saw what I wanted to see, you know that you," implies that she projected an image onto her partner that wasn't necessarily true. The line that follows, "Wrapped my heart around your finger so easily, yeah," shows how easily she fell into his trap. He had a "centerfold body" and knew exactly how to manipulate her.
As the song progresses, the woman realizes the truth about her partner. He's "a nightmare everywhere, disguised as a dream," and she got lost "wandering through the darkness in [his] maze of lies." However, despite the pain he caused her, she decides not to cry anymore. The line "The tears are falling to the floor, but you won't catch me cryin' anymore" is a declaration of her newfound strength. She sees the relationship for what it truly was and is finally able to move on.

Very underrated band. These women Rockers had talent and rocked with the best in the 1980's.
@jasonlieberman4606
They're underrated because the only way they could get a record deal was with the caveat of their first album considering solely of songs composed and produced by industry people, and the result is glossy guitar pop, not unlike Bon Jovi that most true metalheads have generally shunned. It was the wrong sound for the wrong audience.
If the record company had trusted the band to do what they wanted their way, and the label people just focused on promoting the music, they would've at least sold well to fans of stuff like Skid Row and Poison.
Their true metal colors are able to shine through a bit more clearly on their second record.

I wouldn't consider it metal; hard rock yes and good rock unlike the crap we have these days; the older people would be happy rock is basically dead
