AVATAR - Going Hunting (Official Music Video)

It's not always evident what is strength and what is weakness. In the blinding light of conformity, the inner darkness is your only hope.

"GOING HUNTING" LYRICS
In the stillness of dim lit insomnia,
he discovers his own body
Whisper names in the pillowcase
It’s almost like he had somebody
It’s ok, I didn’t want to go out tonight anyway
I stay right here
The world is out of reach,
for a body under siege,
by a foreign mind implanted in a being,
that used to be so innocent
Is this a cell,
or my bedroom? Who can tell,
what secrets lie within this boy’s drawer
A reason for his punishment
If I only had a friend like you
If I only had a friend like you
If I only had a friend like you
If I only had a friend like you
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
The world he kept outside,
got a scent of where he hides,
and the skeletons of rats inside his drawer,
are proof that no one’s innocent
What is the way?
Is it mercy? Is it brave,
to let the stones fall down upon the sickly,
or is it simply punishment?
If I only had a friend like you
If I only had a friend like you
If I only had a friend like you
If I only had a friend like you
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
Our time has come and gone so stay inside
You have to keep your secrets small
Close your eyes
I hear you whisper through the walls
What’s left for you to do now?
They’ve come to hunt you down
What’s left for you to do now?
They’ve come to hunt you down
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
What’s left for you to do now?
They’ve come to hunt you down
What’s left for you to do now?
They’ve come to hunt you down
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting
What to do when no one’s watching
Anything else means nothing
When the world outside comes knocking
We are going hunting

    Everyone is pointing out the riffs and the vocals but can we talk about how awesome the production is? I love how seamlessly the piano and the strings match with the guitars, and the subtle synths at the beginning (much like on Hunter Gatherer) give the track such an apocalyptic ambience. Yet another extremely creative song from the band, and I can’t wait to see what they do next!

    It is true that what is considered a strength or weakness can be subjective and dependent on the context in which they are observed. In certain situations, qualities that may be perceived as strengths in one setting can be perceived as weaknesses in another. For example, someone who is assertive and confident may be seen as a strong leader in some situations, but in others, they may be perceived as aggressive or arrogant. In the face of conformity, it can be difficult to recognize and express one's true self, which may involve embracing qualities that are not traditionally viewed as strengths. However, it is important to remember that these qualities may be the key to unlocking one's true potential and achieving personal fulfillment. It is also essential to acknowledge that the inner darkness, or the aspects of ourselves that we may perceive as weaknesses or flaws, can serve as a source of strength. By accepting and embracing our imperfections, we can learn to overcome them and use them as a tool for personal growth. Ultimately, it is important to cultivate self-awareness and to recognize that what may be considered a strength or weakness is often subjective and contextual. By staying true to ourselves and embracing our unique qualities, we can find success and fulfillment on our own terms.

    So, since I haven't seen anyone explain what they think the song is, I will go ahead and give what my Dad and I think: This is about the Singer and how he had to put a show on for the world, acting like a "normal boy" instead of himself (Definitely a boy going through Puberty). He first sees people like himself on TV and knows he isn't alone. But, he has to cover that side of him and be what people want him to be. Yet, a part of his true self comes through and he is punished again. After the crowd attacks him at the end, he realizes 'Screw it, I'm just gonna be myself since they are gonna hate me either way'. The whole line of 'If I only had a friend like you' is about him seeing the people on the TV like him and after he becomes himself, he is a mentor for others, saying he wished he had someone who encouraged him to be himself. The tour is called Going Hunting because it is the band saying 'Screw it, we are gonna do what we like and go on tour no matter what others think'.

    I like your interpretation. For me personally, with all the "monsters in suits", it reminded me of the corporate world. The bug is a bug because that is how he presents himself to others in the workplace. Just someone to be squashed and looked down upon. Once the bug makes a "mistake" (showing some of his true self hidden inside), the monsters (you could call them the bosses) show no forgiveness and throw him out. The dancing scenes could be interpreted as the bug "dancing" or "acting" for the bosses pleasure. The ending of the video is the bug finally coming out of his shell, becoming a monster in his own right and flying free of all the crap he's had to put up with until now. As a title, "Going Hunting" could represent the process of job hunting, where candidates are often discarded for one reason or another. I doubt this is what was "intended" by the song and video producers, but this is the personal impression I got out of it. Especially as a young adult in this money centric world.

    I think the song is about child abuse. A kid is abused and the parent thinks it's just punishment for their bad behavior. The kid gets lonelier and lonelier wish he had a friend but he can't even go outside anymore, so he starts collecting rocks and skeletons and yet again the parent finds them and thinks the kid has a weird obsession and abuses them again

    This song is in the key of f minor. For some reason I'm geeking out about it because that probably means a different tuning (C standard most probably), as this would have been really inconvenient to play in Avatar's usual B standard tuning. Be it as it may, I just love when bands introduce keys that are a bit unusual in their repertoire. It makes the song instantly stand out.

    I think this song is in drop A because Tim is using his RGD and that guitar is in A Because it has an edge zero with the ZPS which makes drop tuning easier unless he just used it for the video but if they play this live he only has 2 guitars that could do it

    I have told everyone I know about Avatar for the last 6 or 7 years! They’re such an amazing band! Johannes has such range with his vocals I love how he can go from growling like a beast to singing better then anyone else I have heard (live ) he is truly talented! Then you add his charisma mixed with Tim and Jonas being both a total badass lead guitarist . Henrick with his sweet face and amazing base But let’s not forget then quite but unforgettable John on the drums without him the sound of Avatar wouldn’t be the same. But then They’re just a perfect combination! And watching their videos they all seem so relatable, and that we all could be their friend. I wish nothing but the best for Avatar because they definitely deserve nothing less 🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🤩

    In the stillness of dim lit insomnia He discovers his own body Whisper names in the pillowcase It's almost like he had somebody It's ok, I didn't want to go out tonight anyway I stay right here The world is out of reach For a body under siege By a foreign mind implanted in a being That used to be so innocent Is this a cell Or my bedroom? Who can tell What secrets lie within this boy's drawer A reason for his punishment If I only had a friend like you If I only had a friend like you If I only had a friend like you If I only had a friend like you What to do when no one's watching Anything else means nothing When the world outside comes knocking We are going hunting What to do when no one's watching Anything else means nothing When the world outside comes knocking We are going hunting The world he kept outside Got a scent of where he hides And the skeletons of rats inside his drawer Are proof that no one's innocent What is the way? Is it mercy? Is it brave To let the stones fall down upon the sickly Or is it simply punishment? If I only had a friend like you If I only had a friend like you If I only had a friend like you If I only had a friend like you What to do when no one's watching Anything else means nothing When the world outside comes knocking We are going hunting What to do when no one's watching Anything else means nothing When the world outside comes knocking We are going hunting Our time has come and gone so stay inside You have to keep your secrets small Close your eyes I hear you whisper through the walls What's left for you to do now? They've come to hunt you down What's left for you to do now? They've come to hunt you down What to do when no one's watching Anything else means nothing When the world outside comes knocking We are going hunting What to do when no one's watching Anything else means nothing When the world outside comes knocking We are going hunting What's left for you to do now?
