The meaning of the lyrics of the song "The Night of Hunters" by the artist "Tori Amos"

In Tori Amos's "The Night of Hunters", the rose, a traditional symbol of love, is painted red with the color of blood. "The Night of Hunters" is a metaphor for dark times, when evil and violence prevail. The "hunters" embody the dark forces that crave power and are ready to encroach on the innocence of children's dreams.

The lyrical heroine calls for resistance to violence with love: "Find love instead of their / Blood from your thorns." The thorns of a rose, usually symbolizing protection, here become a source of pain that can be overcome by love.

The song emphasizes the importance of protecting childhood dreams, which symbolize hope and innocence. The lyrical heroine appeals to the "Ancient Seven Sisters", possibly the Pleiades, as a symbol of ancient wisdom and protection. She calls to "guard children's dreams" by changing the "frequency" of the world with love and compassion.

The appeal to the "Holy Father" and "Sacred Mother" most likely symbolizes a call to higher powers for forgiveness and liberation. The heroine wants to restore harmony between people and nature ("Spirit to spirit"), believing that this is the only way to heal the wounds of the past and return stolen childhood dreams.
