Dear Hunter, The - City Escape Lyrics






Please, what happened to the flame?
(It burned down the sides)
With a fondness for cooking history, revealling thoughts of mystery
In the heat of the night, a woman wealthy of a parous plight erased a harlot's life

Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust, they tear at her skin!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Clawing at her thoat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Free, pardoned by the flame
(That burned down the sides)
Her feet began to bleed between the seams, but she persisted to the streets
In the heat of the night, the river rendered the chance she surely needs to stay alive

Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust, they tear at her skin!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Clawing at her thoat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Oh, but her breath escapes her
Oh, but the pulse remains
Oh, but her breath escapes her
Oh, but her pulse remains

Places, people, the stage is set
Places, people, the stage is set

Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust, they tear at her skin!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Clawing at her thoat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust, they tear at her skin!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

Clawing at her thoat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret!
(The trouble began, but it never ended)

    Please, what happened to the flame?
    (It burned down the sides)
    With a fondness for cooking history
    Revealing thoughts of Ms Terri

    In the heat of the night
    A woman wealthy of a parous plight erased a harlot's life

    (With the moon at her back, unaware of what could be)

    Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust, they tear at her skin
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)
    Clawing at her throat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)

    Free, pardoned by the flame
    (That burned down the sides)
    Her feet began to bleed between the seams
    But she persisted to the streets

    In the heat of the night
    The river rendered the chance she surely needs to stay alive

    Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust they tear at her skin
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)
    Clawing at her throat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)

    Oh, but her breath escapes her
    Oh, but the pulse remains
    Oh, but her breath escapes her
    Oh, but her pulse remains

    Places, People, the stage is set
    Places, People, the stage is set

    Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust they tear at her skin
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)
    Clawing at her throat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)

    Plagued by practical and a mercenary lust they tear at her skin
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)
    Clawing at her throat with a smell of desperate and a lack of regret
    (Oh, the trouble began, but it never ended)

  2. J.... C....

    lovin it

  3. K.... ....

    *_Rollin' around at the speed of sound_*
    *_got places to go gotta--_*

    WAIT WRONG SONG

  4. R.... D....

    singers mum is in this song. this is fucking adorable!

  5. g.... ....

    meh. it's fine but one can tell this is early work

  6. N.... P....

    SOOO Gooood

  7. l.... ....

    Does The Dear Hunter have more songs this style?

    l.... ....

    +lankeysob In Cauda Venenum sounds like this

    l.... ....

    the pimp and the priest is similiar. great breakdowns

    l.... ....

    There's a handful of songs throughout the first three acts. All the other albums are ok. But the first three acts captured something else.

    l.... ....

    @CoreCasual Gaming and stuff Its because those three were almost 100% written by Casey himself while the other albums its a little more evenly split between members. He still writes all the lyrics ofc.

  8. K.... T....

    this song rox!

  9. T.... N....

    Sounds like Chiodos! But better

  10. A.... P....

    Casey is a musical beast.

  11. B.... L....

    it's incredibly hard to impress me in terms of music................................................................i'm impressed

  12. J.... G....

    Cool song ( ROLLING AROUND AT TEH SPEED OF SOUND )

  13. b.... ....

    finally a band I can listen to along with Coheed and Cambria ^^.
    Bothe of them are prog rock masters :)

    b.... ....

    Both of you, my friends. Now.

    b.... ....

    +voxextremos22 TDH and TMV are my two Favourite Bands.

    LET'S HANGOUT !

    b.... ....

    Coheed isn't even kind of in their league though.

    b.... ....

    I disagree,but options are opinions

    b.... ....

    After listening to both bands discograpgies religiously, I think TDH is a little deeper in their themes, not to mention musically more refined, technical, and much more versatile (Color Spectrum is a good example) than Co & Ca, but I still love both bands dearly.

    they're TOURING together this year, which is amazing, two of my favorites. And also this could be great, great exposure for Casey and the guys. Between the Five Acts, Migrant, and the Color Spectrum, they have absolutely earned it.

  14. F.... ....

    hahaHAHAAAAA this is so fresh! glad i found them!

    F.... ....

    Love the laugh, like you're insanely happy XD

    F.... ....

    @Joshua Morgan
    thanks ;)
    i´m always insane when i´m happy! .. or was it the other way round?! oO^

  15. O.... T....

    ROLLIN AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND!!!!!!

  16. M.... ....

    This song got me hooked on this band! Remember seeing them live my first time around 2009.

  17. J.... S....

    This came up in my Kiss Kiss station on Iheart. I'm a new rabid fan

  18. �.... ....

    I actually got lead to The Dear Hunter trough last.fm
    It said that it is similar to Reign of Kindo and Closure in Moscow which i had been enjoying previously. If anyone cares they should check these out too. Reign of Kindo is smoother and jazzyer while Closure of Moscow is more rocking.

    �.... ....

    Closure in Moscow has taken a jazzier approach in their most recent releases

  19. I.... ....

    Thank you spotify for recommending this to me

  20. K.... F....

    Seen Casey live once and The Dear Hunter once with Anthony Green. Would kill to see them live again

  21. M.... ....

    Reminds me a lot of The Sound of Animals Fighting. And that's undeniably a good thing.

  22. A.... A....

    "Board Game " got me here. i don't regret it.

  23. r.... ....

    i uploaded all 3 acts in one video on my channel so come watch if you want

  24. T.... i....

    I found this while searching for Sonic Adventures 2's soundtrack. I'm satisfied.

  25. N.... B....

    This band is so tight,

  26. c.... p....

    most of jusit syupid view are aswome haters

  27. D.... ....

    I will forever thank my music teacher for introducing my class to this band. How have I lived without this music before now?!

    D.... ....

    Damn, you music teacher must’ve been hella cool!

  28. I.... M....

    This is awesome. My face expression proves it. ಠ▃ಠ

  29. W.... ....

    Reminds me of muse, too.

  30. j.... ....

    i agree

  31. R.... M....

    This record reminds me of Allods Online.
    And dude. His right hand is solid. That intro is sex.

  32. R.... ....

    One of most sincere bands...

  33. R.... ....

    Well I don't think they are underrated, they are just not well known, are not some mainstream jam. And I am ok with that. We all found their wonderful music, means, who seek good music finds it.

  34. A.... ....

    Holy shit, it's the guy that has all the Protest videos. You're taste in music is pretty damn excellent.

  35. F.... ....

    Come on son, what's the fun of gold if everyone knows it's there?

  36. f.... ....

    Well, judging by the top two comments, this video is 4chan approved.

    Which can only mean that 4chan has fucking impeccable taste.

  37. t.... ....

    Omg..I always thought this band was called The DEER Hunter, ahhh T_T Amazing stuff though.

  38. C.... J....

    I also disagree. I feel Act II/ Act III were pretty damn hot.

  39. V.... V....

    Disagree. The Color Spectrum is amazing.

  40. p.... ....

    I played this song while playing Mirror's Edge. Epic as Hell!!!

  41. J.... R....

    @bevski209 get off youtube and do something then asswad.

  42. B.... ....

    KONY 2012

  43. P.... ....

    @icaas8 I was looking for the Sonic song and I'm a fan of Dear Hunter, had no idea 'City Escape' was the name of this song XD

  44. S.... ....

    Definitely their best album.........

  45. M.... ....

    SO FUCKING STOKED TO WATCH THEM THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  46. N.... ....

    @chimeracrusher "Bro", are you telling me you don't want more people to hear about this band so you can feel like part of an exclusive club? This is so much better than most of the shit out there today, yet fucking Katy Perry and Kanye West make the same songs 20 times and have 100 times more fans than the Dear Hunter.

  47. h.... ....

    Found out about these guys from Sonic.........Thank you sanic

  48. T.... M....

    Really @Alex30169 ?? Panic! At the Disco? THEY SUCK WICKED BAD

    In my opinion, this album reminds me of the Mars Volta/At the Drive-in which is what brought me here

  49. N.... K....

    This band reminds me of Panic! At the Disco. Only they're better than them, and not so emo...

  50. S.... ....

    @Simmeisthe and nvm with i said, i get why u picked those 3 now :P

  51. S.... ....

    @Cheesenipp6 you my friend are clearly mad!
    Indigo violet and wight is clearly the best ;)

    thou how can we sit here an chose, they are all great.

  52. X.... S....

    @HoldYourOwnTube "The Curse of Cynicism" is the only one I know, sorry.

  53. D.... N....

    5 People couldn't get past the truck chase

  54. O.... D....

    @AeoxEternal
    I see what you did there!!!

  55. H.... ....

    this song rocks. can anyone reply to me any other songs by the dear hunter that are like fast and rocky like this one? All their other stuff is still awesome, but i was just wondering if they had other "heavier" songs

  56. s.... ....

    @icaas8
    >see greentext
    >not even mad

  57. S.... B....

    Love this song, love the Dear Hunter! People who might like this could check my profile :).
    please check out sebastianbrkic @facebook aswell!

  58. L.... .....

    @GothicAutumnOfficial you feel like raping and pillaging the people who already inhabit it? odd...

  59. V.... ....

    @icaas8 Hahaha, same thing happend to me about a year ago, good stuff!

  60. o.... ....

    @wowthatsfunny
    @icaas8

    I see /mu/ has found their way here.

  61. N.... ....

    @MrSkate4weed Of course I understand what you're saying. But do you really think descretion is the key to good music? If a band actually has talent, they should get more publicity than half the big bands out there now. I would feel like a hipster if I said that the best bands should stay underground.

  62. F.... S....

    just amazing

  63. F.... ....

    @Nintendude99 Welllll, the color spectrum IS the Dear Hunter lol. It's there There new Ep...

  64. N.... ....

    @MrSkate4weed I'm sorry, don't act like you know me ok? All I was saying was that good music like this gets no attention when a 17 year old pop star gets the highest viewed video on the most popular site on the internet. I don't wanna start shit with some internet tough guy cause he thinks he's smarter than me.

  65. F.... ....

    I'm assuming "MrSkate4Weed hasn't heard" "The Color Spectrum" easily beats ANY album DeerHunter has ever made...period....

  66. N.... ....

    @MrSkate4weed Are you saying Justin Bieber is good music?

  67. N.... ....

    @MrSkate4weed Nah, you just don't get it. Obviously 4 other people did.

  68. A.... S....

    @MrSkate4weed Arguable.

  69. p.... ....

    DARIN!! DARINNN. I love you. :3

  70. N.... ....

    Justin Bieber can get over half a billion views in a few months and this gets under 60,000 in over 2 years.

    I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

  71. E.... D....

    I loved this song in Sonic Adventure 2

  72. C.... P....

    goooood damn. this music fucking rocks

  73. C.... H....

    Fucking genius.

  74. j.... ....

    Run Ms. Terri, RUN!

  75. N.... D....

    @pastllament Yup, I'm in agreement. And weirdly some of Closure in Moscow sounds a lot like The Mars Volta but I don't think these guys have really any of that.

  76. P.... D....

    I'm a FAN.

  77. G.... _....

    @cvmiata I can hear the chiodos comparison, they have parts that are structured similar to these on a few of their tracks, its not really a tonal comparison so much as it is structure and instrumentation.

  78. c.... ....

    @mminimalismm emotional vocals for the most part. maybe i should listen to both bands more...

  79. T.... M....

    if it were a little harder id probably like it more than i already do.

  80. N.... ....

    @joshwithguitarinhand i wish people in general knew about this band!

  81. J.... R....

    @Merrick0001 i wish hipsters knew about this amazing band..

  82. c.... ....

    sounds kinda like choidos!! good song.

  83. M.... G....

    @jaymokrav
    Yep, Ms. Terri is the characters mother that no one knows about, and Ms. Leading is a prostitute he falls in love with.

    Your mind was blown again.

  84. M.... ....

    This shit = Hipster bait

  85. d.... ....

    such the greatest singer around right now

  86. M.... ....

    @jaymokrav Her name is Ms. Leading too, that's the really obvious one (if not both)
    Third album just has the poison woman I think. Would've liked a cool pun name there.

  87. j.... ....

    i just realized ms. terri= mystery. and ms. leeding. = misleading.
    my mind= blown

  88. T.... H....

    @Vicron not to mention that on a personal level, I love Casey's voice much more, although they both sing very well.

  89. �.... �....

    @diluted12 SAN ANTONIO!

  90. �.... �....

    @TacoWhitey san antonio people love dear hunter<33333333333

  91. T.... ....

    @diluted12 i was at that show! good one. porcupine tree was amazing too. the heed rocked as always.

  92. J.... l....

    this song is so trippy! i love the end though so relaxing

  93. A.... ....

    @dprothman Well... I am barely seeing your comment a year later. LOL I saw you uploaded 1878. Thanks, man. Peace.

  94. V.... ....

    @Craftonboy me too dude this band gives me memories of panic!

  95. S.... G....

    @Craftonboy as ashamed as i am to admit it, i do to. still TDH is so much better, and they have more than one fairly decent album in them lol

  96. C.... ....

    I get panic at the disco vibes when i here this band.. humpf.. wonder if panic at the disco love TDH ;>
