    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 fuck
    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
    Hook 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?
    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 fucking 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 judgement 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?

    I don't find the lyrics dirty, they're just very raw and a contemporary way of expressing things that many poets have written about for centuries.
    The song is a very good representation of falling for a girl who deserves better than the manner to which she allows herself to be subjected.
    From an evolutionary perspective, all men "hunt" for potential mates, but some so-called men use very questionable and malicious means to achieve that goal.

      I thought it was more just telling a story of how guys always try to get into girls pants and how they fall for it but the narrator wonder's why they even listen at all.

      Kookiez actually no, while Ugly God did say he likes titties, booty and toes it wasn’t this explicit.
      as someone who listens to and writes rap music it’s more often that a rapper will write about braggadocios topics or social issues.
      The closest rappers Ik that come close to this are XXXTENTESION, $uicideboy$ (especially) and Immortal Technique and none of these rappers are shit nor are over rated.
      Adding to this rap is more emotionally restricted then Rock is in general.
      I don’t even know how someone would be able to convert *this* into rap and have the song keep it’s over all mood.

  • @StavelyDrums
    @StavelyDrums 11 років тому +41

    I think I figured it out, the beginning is in 5/4, until they start the "Hunting is in our blood." when they say that it changes between 5/4 and 6/4, you can count it. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6. The same thing in Eight-Ball, Coroner's Pocket, the beginning can be counted in 11 counts, or 5 and 6.

    • @EmoJoshSavesTheWorld
      @EmoJoshSavesTheWorld 2 роки тому +1

      It goes 5/4 6/4 5/4 6/4 then 5/4 5/4 5/4 5/4 then when the hunting is in our blood part comes it goes back to alternating.
      The rest of the song save for the break is 6/4 at different bpm’s.
      The outro is 5/4 and nothing else.

    Easily one of the top five endings to a song by these guys.

  • @Faze390
    @Faze390 11 років тому +10

    The beginning sounds like it's in 7/8 (we're talking the first two measures), then it transitions into 6/8, then a bridge in 4/4, then back to 6/8, then the "Now he's got her" part is in 4/4. And I can't be assed to transcribe the rest.

    • @fergar0206
      @fergar0206 Рік тому +17

      ​@@everybodysfavoritenobody for starters this isn't meant to be a positive representation. The imagery is very clear from the title testostyrannosaurus (testosterone+T-Rex). It likens this type of male courtship to predation, it being a combination of using alcohol and deception as a way to trick women into sleeping with him even though he's an awful person. The very end of the song is a repudiation of it (he's so wrong to be deceitful). How anyone could hear this and think it's some kind of endorsement is beyond me, but then again some people see fight club and American psycho and think theyre trying to create some sort of image of masculinity for men to aspire to, so... 🤷

    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.

      Hey, there no problem with feeling uncomfortable with swearing or suggestive lyrics. I like to keep those things out of my life. I know it may be disrespectful to the artist, but I either buy their music and edit it, or not buy it at all. What do you think they would prefer? Peace!

      Haha, geez, you guys! You are messed up! There's nothing more manly than being a chaste gentleman! There is nothing more compelling to a good woman than a man that doesn't swear. Key phrase: good woman. Being clean is very respectable, and will get you much further in life. ;)

      Cody Kirkham A good woman will accept you as you are, even if you curse and want to eat her ass. Letting everyone know how pure you think you are will make people think you're a phony.

      That would be a good bad woman. A good woman will raise you up and make you a better person.

    Tour idea: Dance Gavin Dance, A lot Like Birds, Hail The Sun & Eleanora. That sounds keen.

    great instrumentals. vocals are great. lyrics are kind of trite and boring.
