Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Hunter Lyrics






Woke up this morning like I always do
I still like to think that I'm new
Time just gets its way
Strawberries left to decay

Can't find my pants or my bank account
Don't you slip away
Voices that start to betray

Even though you raised me I will never be your father
King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my Old Man In the Sea

I still like to laugh when I make a joke
I still like to think that there's hope
Time just has its say
Strawberries left to decay

Struck by the sight of an empty hall
Don't you fade away
Voices that start to betray

Even though you raised me I will never be your father
King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my Old Man In the Sea

The hunter gets hunted
We all get confronted
Don't just slip away
Voices that start to betray

Even though you raised me I will never be your father
King of each and every Sunset Marquis
Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
You're my Old Man In the Sea

    i am gangster disciple... i am gd

  2. D.... H....

    all animals are nymphs that lost the battle to bugs, besides the owl, the wolf and the cat. the cat is the wolf and owls tool, like a guitar or piano to them. every population of humans has nymphs. dividing the animals by twos is how many populations of humans, bugs have defeated. the owl and wolf are peres and upharsin. the owl is upharsin, the wolf is peres. truth. all other animals once talked as the owl and wolf. the owl and the wolf are god. you are my god.

  3. D.... H....

    i guarentee this. all you musicians and entertainers are those i gave a milion dollars to. truth.

  4. D.... H....

    truth..once i became a billionaire. i would give out a million dollars at a time to people. the money would always acrue interest. i was still rich forever. never went below a billion and some change. i recall laughing hesterically oneday and suddenly the laugh was over me. next thing i know i was walking in a field with a woman( mom) and her daughter( my sister). truth. this was a gift from god. truly. i guess the money made it possible. that shit does have a mind of its own. although i believe bugs are new. trust i aint asking for shit. i already tried to be a famous rapper. cant chase that shit forever. i got life to live. that dream chasing shit. chasing the word? chasing words is chasing the wind. that girl jumped off a cliff. i read the story. "the nightengales eye" congratulations on making it. truth.

  5. D.... H....

    in the holy bible, daniel 5: 25 - 28. the hand writes, mene mene tekel upharsin. its translated, mene tekel peres. its a play on english. mene mene tekel upharsi( many many to kill upharsin). mene tekel peres( many to kill peres) . one hand( your writng hand is peres) one hand( the other hand is upharsin). to empower yourself you must know that all men and women need to put thier haed down when entering a door. that the true hight of man and woman. we are all equal hight.

  6. V.... ....

  8. D.... F....

    definitely a Pink Floyd vibe to this Song

  9. M.... 8....

    for me,the best music of the year !!!

  10. S.... C....

    This song should be longer the melody amazing

  11. R.... S....

    I hear some of Lou Reed's song "Perfect Day" in the chorus, but I'm not sure haha.

  12. F.... 8....

    Why is the piano at the start so familiar , I dont need sleep I need answers

  13. Z.... ....

  15. l.... m....

    Loving the French horn

  16. S.... H....

    To mom, I'm sorry it went down the way it did......

  17. B.... ....

    Always conjures the image of this song playing in my old house while my ex-wife and I silently collected and packed our personal items at the beginning of our divorce... It was poignant then, as it still is today.

  18. w.... ....

    Still like to think I'm new .. Absolutely love this song

  19. T.... D....

    the more I listen to this album the more I realize that it's extremely good!! I love it!!

  20. k.... '....

    Eu amo esse album, com certeza esta entre os top 5 dos melhores albuns (minha opiniao), eu gosto de ver o rumo em que o RHCP esta fazendo, parece ser algo muito bom :)

    k.... '....

    Esse não é o Red Hot Chili Peppers , definitivamente. Mas ,a música não é ruim mesmo.

  21. J.... ....

    dedico essa música à minha vovó, que tinha Alzheimer. Lutou como uma guerreira, me criou como um filho. Mais de quatro anos que a senhora se foi e, a cada dia, seu significado só se faz aumentar. Obrigado!

  22. B.... L....

    I can hear Bowie in this, makes me cry, but still enjoy.

    did you know that Josh played bass and Flea played piano on this track?

    s.... s....

    And apparently Chad didn't play at all on this track.

  30. s.... s....

    did you know that Josh played bass and Flea played piano on this track?

    s.... s....

    Eu ja tinha uma " ideia " que o Flea tava no piano, so nao sabia que o Josh tava no baixo! haha

  31. K.... Y....

    I sang this and won class act, it brought a tear to my mums eye

  32. B.... C....

    This sounds like it refers a lot to Alzheimer's.

    B.... C....

    Yes, his father's Alzheimer's.

  33. K.... Y....

    I love this song. I was gonna perform it for round 2 of Class Act but I dunno if I got through yet

  34. P.... ....

    Its a decent song. Just doesent quite fit the band. Its a very different style.

  35. W.... ....

    Voted the worst song in all RHCP history.

    W.... ....

    According to ONE site

  36. y.... s....

    Can i use this wiz my father? Now im watching him

  37. G.... ....

    It kinda reminds of Depeche Mode - Heaven.

  38. D.... j....

    Bela canção!!!!

  39. L.... A....

    Good song!! Fantastic!! Este tema cuando estoy bajoneado me llena d paz..

  40. A.... ....

    "you're my old man in the sea" really hits my heart
    And the beautiful trumpet solo

  41. E.... F....

    After finding out this song is about Blackie (Anthony's father), it gives me gossebumps every time I listen to it. Chills.

  42. L.... A....

    Woke up this morning like I always do
    I still like to think that I'm new
    Time just gets its way
    Strawberries left to decay

    Can't find my pants or my bank account
    Don't you slip away
    Voices that start to betray

    Even though you raised me I will never be your father
    King of each and every Sunset Marquis
    Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
    You're my Old Man In the Sea

    I still like to laugh when I make a joke
    I still like to think that there's hope
    Time just has its say
    Strawberries left to decay

    Struck by the sight of an empty hall
    Don't you fade away
    Voices that start to betray

    Even though you raised me I will never be your father
    King of each and every Sunset Marquis
    Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
    You're my Old Man In the Sea


    The hunter gets hunted
    We all get confronted
    Don't just slip away
    Voices that start to betray

    Even though you raised me I will never be your father
    King of each and every Sunset Marquis
    Even though you're crazy you will never be a bother
    You're my Old Man In the Sea

  43. n.... w....

    idk why but i feel like i know the melody

    n.... w....

    Fucking same its killing me

  44. C.... H....

    Anthony can't find his pants or his bank account? If there was any piece of clothing Anthony couldn't find I would have figured it would be a shirt.

    C.... H....

    @GivenToFly Hid dad is alive and well....

    C.... H....

    This song is about his Father.

    C.... H....

    I think he's on about flea lol

  45. S.... Q....

    Terrible song.

    S.... Q....

    MMMMM898 Not gonna listen to it.. just saying its a terrible song.

  46. L.... T....

    The RHCP never dissapoints!

  47. K.... T....

    Maybe someone of you can explain this to me 'Even though YOU raised ME I will never be your father' It doesn't make sense somehow :/

    K.... T....

    Katy TheAngel It might be an example of a child being raised to a certain extent and then at a young age trading positions. Like when anthony was young and moved in with his dad, his dad was always doing drugs and with girls but still raised him and anthony felt like at some point he had to start taking care of his dad.

    K.... T....

    Katy TheAngel I recommend reading Scar Tissue, Anthony's autobiography

    K.... T....

    THIS IS ABOUT HIS FATHER, THE SONG ITS ABOUT HIS FATHER..

    K.... T....

    He's saying that even though he has achieved more than his father and Blackie looks up and idolises Anthony, Anthony will always be the son and Blackie will always be the father.

    K.... T....

    hermoso

  48. A.... R....

    This so is so wonderful. A little touch of Pink Floyd in it. Love it!!!!!

    @Luiz Bastos THIS

  55. M.... S....

    waves. got to keep on.

  56. i.... ....

    What a difference with the new producer! I kind of like the change! RHCP moved towards Soul side a bit!

    i.... ....

    noone had soul like jf, i think it's gotten more pop

  57. b.... ....

    This is about his dad, right? Blackie?

    b.... ....

    Yes, I think Anthony said so in some interview

    b.... ....

    His dad, his ex, and aging.

  58. J.... A....

    This reminds me of Lazarus by David Bowie

  59. M.... P....

    I'm a little bit 😊shocked, how great this song is, really.. So fine and sophisticated at the same time..

  60. e.... d....

    Favourite song of the album! Beautiful music, it really touched me deep...

  61. G.... P....

    grandi come sempre...unici lasciano un segno con la loro musica ke ti permette di cantarla per sempre...

  62. A.... W....

    why does this song sound so familiar to other song. most songs on this album sound like another song

    A.... W....

    Yeah I feel like I can point out a previous album where I could place each of these songs. For instance this one would be Stadium Arcadium. And some have a Blood Sugar Sex Magic vibe.

    A.... W....

    +Michael Blood this one does have a stadium arcadium vibe. most of these songs sound familiar to another one of there albums apart from there very old ones. like this Ticonderoga has a one hot minute vibe.

    A.... W....

    +Michael Blood This song wouldn't be Stadium Arcadium, it's more mature and sophisticated , I think so✌

    A.... W....

    Linda música

    A.... W....

    Beautiful
