"Animals trapped behind bars at the zoo / Need to run rampant and free! / Predators live on the prey they pursue / This time the predator's me!"

And the second Hyde song drops not too long after the first, though both did great overall, in no small part due to Warlow absolutely killing it here. It does lose like a point at most for its lull in the middle, but otherwise I like this one for largely the same reasons I liked Confrontation (though Confrontation's back and forth did help it as well).

Now that we're at the point where everyone left is pretty obviously evil, it feels more necessary to justify the smaller things, like why I only gave Hyde an 8/10 for villain here. At this high of a ranking, the vagueness is ultimately what's going to keep it from hitting those top scores. Singing about how evil you are simply by saying "I'm filled with evil" isn't enough anymore! Now, he does really toe the border of going higher, particularly in the way he refers to himself as a predator and threatens that "you will pay dear." That sounds very evil, but compared to the 9s and 10s that make their intentions perfectly clear, that vaguely sinister language falls just short. It does tell us plenty about Hyde himself though, basically the embodiment of id at its most dangerous. Again, credit to Warlow for really helping to bring the characterization to life with his growling and laughing mid-lyric.
