Racing Heat

about

My own attempt at something a little bit "western".
There is a (slightly ridiculous) central metaphor to this that I'll leave for you to figure out if you want to.

lyrics

I don’t know what prey I hunt
Or where this trail I tread could lead
A path I blaze for my own life’s blood
To chase down and take all that I need
all that I need...

Where have I gone to? When did I start?
Where’s my finish line? Will it tear me apart?
...
Flow like a river, racing the heat
When dawn arrives I’ll be far away from here
I’ll chase all the herds, I’ll claw every tree
Till there’s nowhere left to run to

A mocking voice, follows me
Singing: mighty hunter,
Why did you take that which should never be taken?
Picked yourself a battle which cannot be won?
The course I create, roaming, running
They'll haunt my tracks but I won't look back
Dreaming a line through the dusk into another night
And waking to marvel at how I am still alive
...
Once, I lived in their world
Once, I gave them my world
They threw me away, they made my tail curl
I'm naked with nothing to run to
but all that I need...

Where have I gone to? What did I start?
Where’s my finish line? They've torn me apart!
...

Vertigo Fox is a band made up of one mysterious, probably catlike creature.
A mysterious creature who, tired of hearing the same themes in music year in and year out, decided to create something altogether stranger.


Vertigo Fox enjoys long walks and hikes, though the cats he inevitably encounters always tell him they're prowls. ... more
