Like a Fox
me Lyrics

The song Like a Fox by Me begins with the lines "Wake up my dreams were so much harder than yours," which can be interpreted in two ways - either the singer's dreams were more difficult to achieve than someone else's or the singer's dreams were more intense than someone else's. The following lines, "The night turns to day and the sunshine sharpens her claws," suggest that the transition from darkness (night) to light (day) can be a painful one, as even the sun is ready to "attack" with its sharp claws. The repeated refrain of "Save the dreaming for the day" seems to imply that the singer is urging the another person/people to focus on the realities of daytime rather than getting lost in dreams.

The second verse of the song brings up multiple images in quick succession, leading to a fragmented feeling: "Just a phase, out of touch/Foul play fortress, run amok/Higher than you've flown before/Gravity beckons the floor." These lines could be interpreted as a commentary on the chaos and unpredictability of life, with the "foul play fortress" and the sudden pull of gravity giving a sense of danger or instability. The chorus of the song - "Like a fox, from a gun/Come unstuck then come undone/She will soon, depart arrive/Due in time to keep the night alive/Save the dreaming for the day" - brings in the title of the song and seems to suggest that the fox is elusive, quick-witted, and able to slip away from danger. The final lines of the song, "Long hair, short hair/Apartheid, bleached hair frown/Our cogs still/Turn in beat in time," could be seen as an indictment of societal prejudices (the mention of "apartheid") and a commentary on the inevitability of time's passage and human progress.
