Hunter

by Ásgeir

Lyrics
I'm not
Too skillful with a gun
But still I'm on the run
Treading carefully
Shaking like a leaf

This beast
Always seems to be
One step ahead of me
The born survivor strikes
When I can't see

But I know I've got to chase it down
There's no one but me
Its either to be the hunter or become the prey
Though the enemy's illusive like
A phantom in the night
I know its hiding in the jungle inside
My mind
My my mind
My mind
My my mind

It knows
Better than anyone
All my weaknesses and flaws
Lurking within their reach waiting to pounch
But I hope
These southerly winds
Will turn my luck around
Lead me to a place of higher ground

For I know I've got to chase it down
There's no one but me
Its either to be the hunter or become the prey
Though the enemy's illusive like
A phantom in the night
I know its hiding in the jungle inside
My mind
My my mind
My mind
My my mind

About "Hunter"

Ásgeir stalks through a wintry landscape of shimmering indie electronic textures. 'Hunter' pulses with quiet determination, its frostbitten synths and soft vocals tracing a search that feels both external and inward—a chase through snowdrifts of the heart, calm yet relentless.
