“The Hunt” is the 8th (and final track, in the non-bonus edition) of Youth Lagoon’s album “The Year of Hibernation”.
The song has an ambient quality, as usual for the songs in The Year of Hibernation, and includes chimes and muffled vocals.
As the foxes hunt
All the chickens start to run
Next thing I know
My neck no longer has a front
All the wars are me
I won't sleep until my grave
I am young but I am brave
And I am not your slave
I will swear to you now that I'm not what they say;
I have a sickness in my head that won't go away
And by the time the bugs eat their way out of my skull
Will you still say I love you?
Will you still want my soul?
As the lions hunt
All the zebras start to run
They all refuse to become
Somebody else's lunch
'Cause All the wars are me
I won't sleep until my grave
I am young but I am brave
And I am not your slave
I will swear to you now that I'm not what they say;
I have a sickness in my head that won't go away
And by the time the bugs eat their way out of my skull
Will you still say I love you?
Will you still want my soul?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
