whats gonna happen is that in a few years, is that some kid is gonna use this song in their next post on tiktok and thisll blow up like it should and we'll all be here way before everyone else was before it got big.
It's really weird to listen back to this band's older stuff, because while their technical accomplishments have only blossomed, the lyrics are like... weird. Like I can't see a non-incelly way to read these lyrics which are blatantly about pickup artistry. That would be fine if there was some layer of metaphor that went beyond 'men want to fuck women like hunters wanted to hunt animals', but then it also takes the PoV of like... judging the girls who let this happen, as though it's their fault? I want really badly to draw some other meaning or conclusion from these lyrics but they just seem creepy to me.
lyrics: Hunting is in our blood Hunting is in our blood I'm not yet a father I'm not yet a father Watch out, Demoiselle So intrigued, I'm watching hormones at their finest And he's desperate to f*** Eat it up, he's saying anything it takes to be inside her Lies are used so that she'll lose her clothes She'll just blush Baited with liquor, hook line and sinker Now he's got her (Slayin') someone's daughter They might insist that they're different from the rest This is a tactic used often by the lady-killer But first Calculate timing, orchestrate touching Arranging all the little tricks to play In his bed, willingly spread by two Baited with liquor, hook line and sinker line and sinker! Girl, you're still alone, but you're never home Does he get you off? Do I get you off? Do I? Do I? Do I? Now he's got her (Slayin') someone's daughter They might insist that they're different from the rest This is a tactic used often... Stop, close your f***ing legs This is all they crave Hunting is in our... Hunting is in our... BLOOD! I'm not yet a father I'm not yet a father Watch out, Demoiselle (Watch out, Demoiselle) At the bar, the hopeful hunters roam Finding prey, they drink, then stumble home Altered judgment helps them make the kill Once inside, he knows he's sealed the deal The deal We all try just a little bit But there's some who go further They're so wrong He's so wrong to be deceitful Do you believe it? Why can't you see it? Do I? Do I? Do I?
I wish I stumbled across this sooner. I came to try to find John’s beautiful bass tone and stayed because this video is fucking hilarious. Love you guys, hope you bring back the studio updates sometime
