about

This is a song about female desire. It is also a variation on the theme 'a prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages'. Other female singers have also touched upon the theme of females as hunters (Laura Marling, Anna Calvi), this is one more take on it. Sexual energy is a force that drives us, but class society finds it hard to deal with it - we are either made into desireless objects or sexism hits back and haunts us in return.

lyrics

there's a feeling inside me
deep deep down inside
i don’t know how to hide it
i don’t know where to go

and it burns burns burns
and it makes me climb the walls
there's a tigress hunting
locked inside these halls

chorus
she's running in circles
she's running wild

the cages are burning
she's leaching out
the locks are broken
someone will get hurt

and she's killing fast
when she finds her prey
she's just locked back in
its never enough

chorus

and when she's done
i wake again
i’m me again
i’m lost again
