This song is about the beckoning urge to let everything go and succumb to your life, for which "The hunter" is a metaphor.
It's about the need we all feel to put our stale lives, flooded with lost love and forgotten dreams, behind, and fearlessly hit the open road, careless of where it would take us. And yet we all fear it - we are attached to our lives, we fear letting go. Chasing our dreams is not an easy task.
But once one does it, it is then when one is truly free. And they'll never come back.
