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.

An error occured.
