The Warrior Lyrics

You run, run, runaway
It's your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized

Well isn't love primitive?
A wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me a stereo jungle child
Love is the kill, your heart's still wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Well, I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

You talk, talk, talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite, oh

Who's the hunter, who's the game?
I feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged in the call of the wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Well, I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior

Shooting at the walls of heartache
A warrior, I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
Heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Yes, I am the warrior
Victory is mine

Shooting at the walls of heartache
The warrior, I am the warrior
Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior

I think that the singer's love interest is a shy, diffident sort of person, but she knows that he's attracted to her, so she is trying to reach out and bring him out of his lonely state ("shooting out the walls of heartache") into a passionate sexual relationship. She views herself as his knight in shining armor, with the gender roles reversed. That's how I see it, anyway. This is one of my favorite songs.

uh, about animal attraction.

This song reminds me of this guy who broke my heart. We had an attraction towards each other and were very much in puppy love, but then things suddenly changed when I discovered another side to him. A side where he would run away from problems and not want to fix them. When it came down to the two of us he would run away because he would't want to face his actions. He would make me feel weak and defeated because he would put on this front of being happy and fine(which seemed inhumane and abnormal to me), which was totally opposite from me because I was so unhappy and sad. He comes back every once in a while because he cares and each time he does it's like I have to put up a shield to protect myself from not melting back into him. I know that I can not change him because those are just his ways and it's not my responsibility too either. Listening to this song just reminds me of the bad he's done and to feel more empowered rather then weak.

"If ya survive"-that doesn't sound like much fun. :| (It's a great song) :)

Very enjoyable song, though I must admit I'm a little grossed out at the line "Your eyes touch me physically."
