Snowflakes
Bananafishbones Lyrics

I got a devil on the board - faster
I'm feeling out of control and there's a part of me that's pushing me to act recklessly and quickly

And I'm out of control - faster
I'm struggling to keep myself in check and the temptation to give in to impulsivity is growing stronger

I don't dare to say no
I feel powerless to stop my own self-destructive behavior and can't find the courage to say 'no'

I'm going where all snowflakes go
I'm heading down a destructive path that others have walked before, symbolized by the idea of 'snowflakes in hell'

There even is a devil in the lord sometimes
Even the most divine and holy things can harbor dark and potentially harmful elements

I think because he gets bored sometimes
The devil in Lord may exist out of a sense of boredom, as if he's always looking for a way to stir things up

Being gun, being sword
The devil exists as both a symbol of violence and aggression, as well as a tool to be wielded in battles

When all he ever wanted was to be adored
At his core, the devil may simply want to be loved and appreciated, much like anyone else

Snowflakes in hell
The idea of snowflakes in hell represents the juxtaposition of something pure and innocent with something dark and dangerous

Jesus Christ is wishing well
Even in the midst of turmoil and temptation, there is a sense that some kind of higher power is there wishing us well

What's up with you sinners
The singer is calling out to those who have given into their own destructive impulses and questioning their motives

Come on get up and raise the true fingers
The true fingers may represent a sign of solidarity or rebellion against what is expected, rather than a physical gesture

We've got a little bit of truth and fake
There's a tension between what is genuine and authentic versus what is deceptive and manipulated

Like a woman in a birthday cake
The image of a woman in a birthday cake may represent a false, overly manufactured image of what is supposed to be 'fun' or 'celebratory'

We enjoy
Despite what we may know to be right or true, there is still an element of pleasure in giving into our darker impulses

The birthday cake - destroyed
In the end, whatever joy or celebration we may have experienced is ultimately ruined or destroyed by our own destructive behavior

I've got a little bit of mouse and snake
There are two sides to the singer's personality: a timid, vulnerable side (mouse) and a ruthless, dangerous side (snake)

Depending on the road I take
The path the singer chooses to follow will determine which aspect of their personality is more dominant

One eats heart, the other brain
The 'mouse' (heart) and 'snake' (brain) represent two different ways of interpreting the world, one more emotional and the other more rational

When my lovely senorita's going round again
The identity of the 'senorita' is unclear, but may represent a force that brings out the singer's darker impulses

Faster
The repetition of 'faster' builds a sense of urgency and recklessness

Snowflakes in hell
The phrase is repeated as a way of emphasizing the inherent danger and conflict present in the world

Jesus Christ is wishing well
The image of Jesus represents a source of hope and compassion, even in the midst of darkness and temptation

What's up with you sinners
The singer's plea to the sinners echoes throughout the song, as if searching for some kind of response or solution

Come on get up and raise the true fingers
The repeated call to 'raise the true fingers' suggests a sense of rebellion against expectations and conventions
