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).

Vixen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do we play these silly games
To get to the heart of the matter that's in our hearts
We go round and round again and again
By the time you come around
I'll be tired of being kept down
I don't trust you but I love you
And I'm in the game … anyway
When will you see how right we are
Where will I be when that light shines
And gives you sight of what you were too blind to see
The soul you could have saved was mine
By the time you notice me
I'll be too far off to see
I'm the one that you'll think of
When you want to know true love
Chorus
It all stays the same … anyway
I wanted to believe you
I'm the one that you'll think of
When you want to know true love
Chorus
I'll never stay … anyway
Never gonna trust you but I'll always love you, always love you
The lyrics to Vixen's song Anyway explore the complicated and often conflicting emotions that can exist within a romantic relationship. The opening lines express a desire to skip over the drama and challenges that often arise in relationships and get straight to the good part. However, the subsequent lines reveal that the journey to understanding oneself and another person's true motivations are necessary to reach that goal. The repeated line "I don't trust you but I love you" speaks to the conflicting emotions many people experience within relationships.
The song's chorus uses repetition of the phrase "it all stays the same... anyway" to emphasize the sense of inevitability that can surround relationships. The following lines employ imagery of light and sight to suggest that the singer wishes their partner could see what they are missing out on. However, the final lines of the song suggest that despite the issues and doubts that exist within the relationship, the singer will always love their partner.

Why can't we just skip to the good part
Why do we have to go through all the unnecessary drama and head games? Can't we just get to the point where we truly connect and things are good?
Why do we play these silly games
Why do we engage in these immature behaviors that only serve to complicate things and cause confusion?
To get to the heart of the matter that's in our hearts
In order to really address the issues that are bothering us and get to the root of what's going on internally.
We go round and round again and again
It feels like we're going in circles and never making any real progress or improvement.
By the time you come around
When you finally realize what's been going on or pay attention to me again.
I'll be tired of being kept down
I'll be done with feeling like I'm not being seen or heard, and ready to move on.
I don't trust you but I love you
I have reservations about you and your intentions, but I still have strong feelings for you.
And I'm in the game … anyway
Despite my reservations and doubts, I'm still willing to give this a shot and see where it goes.
When will you see how right we are
When will you realize that we're perfect for each other and meant to be together?
Where will I be when that light shines
What will I be doing or where will I be in life when you finally come to this realization?
And gives you sight of what you were too blind to see
When you finally have a clear understanding of what's been going on and the feelings that have been present all along.
The soul you could have saved was mine
I'm the one who has been hurt or struggling, and you could have helped or made it better if only you had paid attention.
By the time you notice me
If and when you finally see me for who I am and what I need.
I'll be too far off to see
I may have moved on or be too hurt to care at that point.
Chorus
Things will remain the same regardless of how things play out or what happens.
It all stays the same … anyway
Things may seem to change or improve temporarily, but ultimately the underlying issues and struggles will remain.
I wanted to believe you
I really did want to trust you and have faith in our relationship.
I'm the one that you'll think of
When you finally realize what you missed out on or what you could have had.
When you want to know true love
If and when you're ready for a genuine and meaningful relationship with someone.
I'll never stay … anyway
No matter what you do or say, I can't keep holding onto something that may never work out.
Never gonna trust you but I'll always love you, always love you
Despite everything, my feelings will always be strong and genuine, even if my trust and faith in you are not.
