Susanne has spoken about this song:
“It’s a love song. It’s basically about wanting to be peaceful […] and to me the most idyllic place to cleanse yourself is in the middle of nowhere, where the only thing you can see is snow and white foxes. I just think it’s a nice image.
Poses, poses, that's all you are to me
Roses, roses, that's all you're offering me
And oh I wish to God that the earth would turn cold
And my heart would forget it's made of glass
And all the pretty tulips would disappear
And never disturb me again
You gave me my very first gun
I'll go out and hunt the hidden dome
With white foxes, with white foxes
Freeze
Hunger, hunger, is the purest sin
It is an empty church in a crowded bin
I've wept and I've stumbled
I fought and I craved for the gravy of your soul
But all I want to do now is walk among
The barren trees and fields of snow
You gave me my very first gun
I'll go out and hunt the hidden dome
With white foxes, with white foxes
Freeze
Freeze
My eye is my sanctuary
My eye is my sanctuary
My eye is my sanctuary
My eye is my sanctuary
