Song Meaning of “Hunting For Love” by Chain and The Gang
‘Hunting For Love’ is a song about a search for true and lasting love, and the relentless effort that it takes to find it. The lyrics are full of imagery of hunting in a metaphorical sense, as the narrator looks for something that is “ephemeral, yet never elusive”. The chorus gives a sense of inevitability that connection, of any kind, is just outside of reach – “My heart is aching, but I’m still hunting for love. I cry in the night, but I’m still hunting for love.”
The song paints a picture of the struggles of love, of the highs and lows often experienced in the pursuit of it. Yet as the narrator traverses his own emotional landscape, they remain focused in their search, believing that if they “look just a little deeper” – that love is just beyond the horizon.
