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

Great song! I think this is about a girl, who is looking for a guy, and finds one, but who ultimately breaks her heart and leaves her.

My Interpretation
Discovery of things in one's past having been lies or deception; understanding why you became as you are -- realising it wasn't your fault. Living with that understanding and consequence. Deciding where to go from here. Just my $0.02. Wonderful thing of songs. They're rather subjective.

Thanks, bellababy.

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.

I think it's more girl meets boy, falls for boy, boy isn't interested in girl, girl heartbroken.

I think of this song at a very literal level. 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.

Really? It doesn't seem just as likely, if not more so, to be figurative imagery? After all, the brain encodes more readily and vividly that which is most salient -- and the more sensory, the more salient. Like a mnemonic device. The very concept behind memory palaces, and why people who have incredible memories tend to employ similar methods.

I disagree with literal interpretation of the meaning of this song. "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.

Exactly. Or, more specifically, she's embittred about being who she's become today. She isn't responsible for being this way; the addressee in the song is.

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.

To me this song isn't necessarily about a romance guy/girl thing. It's more about someone who has forgotten the deepest desires of their heart, maybe has been searching in the wrong places to fulfill those desires/been getting hurt in the process, and is now once again rediscovering those desires and remembering what they truly want/need in their life. So I mean it could be all relationship related. Like maybe being in too many bad relationships caused this person to forget what they really want/deserve and they're rediscovering what they want in a romantic relationship after all those bad experiences but then again it could be applicable to something else as well. :)

I agree with anope about the literal meaning 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.
