Snake Devil
Scary Kids Scaring Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She lost a breath, I think she fell off the edge
She's sinks her teeth in, there's no letting go
We all come to find she's just a snake, a snake devil
This is not a full discussion
Now you're a thing of the past
And I won't live to see the sunrise
She says I want you to know before you let me go
It's your faul, I'm demoralized
But I won't let what she says go to my head
No, not again
She's taking over the world one heart at a time
She'll chew you up and spit you out like nothing
Well, it's not her problem, well now we know
She's nothing more than just a snake, a snake devil
I won't live to see the sunrise
It's just a matter of time, only a matter of time
And I won't live to see the sunrise
She says I want you to know before you let me go
It's your fault I'm demoralized
But I won't let what she says go to my head
No, not again
And I won't live to see the sunrise
No, I'd rather just die than listen to your lies
No, I won't live to see the sunrise
You've already done the damage
You're a thing of the past
She's a snake devil
You've already done the damage
You're a thing of the past
She's a snake devil
You've already done the damage
You're a thing of the past
She's just a snake devil
You've already done the damage
You're a thing of the past
She's a snake devil
You've already done the damage
The lyrics to Scary Kids Scaring Kids' song Snake Devil depict a toxic relationship with a manipulative and controlling partner. The singer acknowledges that this person is out of control and sinks their metaphorical teeth into those around them, causing demoralization and damage. The partner is likened to a snake devil, with allusions to the biblical serpent who tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. The singer acknowledges that this person has taken over the world "one heart at a time" and reveals their intention to leave the relationship, even if it means not living to see the sunrise.
The lyrics present a bleak outlook, with a sense of inevitability that the singer will not survive the relationship. The partner is depicted as cruel and unfeeling, willing to "chew you up and spit you out like nothing", with no regard for the emotional fallout of their actions. This leaves the singer feeling demoralized and damaged, but they ultimately make the decision to escape the toxic dynamic.
