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).
I Try
Vixen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I try...not to...let you down
I try...not to...argue
I try...not to...fight with you
Try try...not to...notice
I try...not to...speak aloud
But every time that you go crazy
I try...make you...want me
I try...make you...feel so good
Try try...make you...happy
I try...make you...love me back
But every time I make you smile
You give an inch then take a mile
It makes me crazy like you
(I will get to you)
And I can't figure out what to do
But every time that you pretend to love me
You want to keep yourself so far above me
It makes me crazy like you
(I will get to you)
All this pain that you put me through
(No more pain from you)
It makes me crazy...
I try...not to...love you
I try...not to...let you go
Try try...not to...feel it
I try...not to...
These lyrics from Vixen's song "I Try" express the internal struggle of trying to maintain a difficult romantic relationship. The singer tries not to falter, let down, argue, or fight with their significant other. They also attempt to not notice or speak aloud about the issues in their relationship. However, despite their best efforts, every time their partner becomes difficult or crazy, the singer feels knocked down and lazy.
The singer also tries to make their partner want them, feel good, happy, and love them back. But every time they succeed in making their partner smile or feel good, their partner takes advantage of them and takes a mile. This leaves the singer feeling crazy and unable to figure out what to do.
Towards the end of the song, the singer tries not to love their partner, let them go, or feel anything towards them. It is clear that the relationship is causing the singer a lot of pain and frustration.
This song explores the complexities and difficulties of romantic relationships and the struggle to keep trying despite repeated setbacks.
