In a dark woods paved with snow living all alone
I forgot long ago what I'm looking for
Firecracker lightning seed coming back to me
This is how
You made my heart a hunter
I remember my little seed louder than a dream
I let my golden arrow fly to the bottom of the night
No hounds to guide me no army at my back
I'm gonna stand up
Firecracker lightning seed coming closer to me
This is how
You made my heart a hunter
Sunrise burns my fortress down crumbling to the ground
I found my arrow my lightning spark buried in my heart
No hounds to guide me no army at my back
I'm gonna stand up
Firecracker lightning seed it was always in me
This is how
You made my heart a hunter
I forgot long ago what I'm looking for
Firecracker lightning seed coming back to me
This is how
You made my heart a hunter
I remember my little seed louder than a dream
I let my golden arrow fly to the bottom of the night
No hounds to guide me no army at my back
I'm gonna stand up
Firecracker lightning seed coming closer to me
This is how
You made my heart a hunter
Sunrise burns my fortress down crumbling to the ground
I found my arrow my lightning spark buried in my heart
No hounds to guide me no army at my back
I'm gonna stand up
Firecracker lightning seed it was always in me
This is how
You made my heart a hunter

Just my $0.02. Wonderful thing of songs. They're rather subjective.
Didn't intend to be quite so cryptic, as I realise that was. It was more of a gut-reaction than a thorough response. I'd be happy to point to individual elements of the song which bring this interpretation to me. As it's a very personal experience, (the song, and the interpretation it conjures) it's rather second-nature to me now.
With the hounds, the arrows, the fortress, & the sunrise, there's a lot of images presented. I've always thought of it as a story about a solitary girl-warrior in the woods without metaphorical meaning.
"you made my heart a hunter" doesn't sound like Xena or Conan... if so, this song flat out sucks.
If this song is about the transformation of a girl into a warrior princess, it would have said "you made me a hunter"
"You made my heart a hunter" signify betrayal and leading to her heart to carelessness.
The imagery is very emotional and describes her loneliness and lack of support throughout this ordeal.
This sounds to me like she was left by her love one... and she is dealing with her recovery all alone...
She believes she will come out stronger, caring less, and possibly hurt/hunt the next love she is with.
I disagree, however, with a romantic origin. Could be. But, similar to how amygims stated, it seems a deep betrayal at a younger age. How what would've been an open, gentle and receptive heart became a 'hunter': watchful, vigilant, and predatory.
In a dark woods
Paved with snow
Living all alone.
I forgot
Long ago
What I'm looking for.
it seems that she is a lonely warrior (like Xena or Conan) who chose or was forced to choose to live a life far from people for some reason unknown.
