Bring It
Cobra Starship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've got a free upgrade
For snakes on a plane
Fuck 'em, I don't care
Pop the cheap champagne
We're going down in flames, hey
Oh! I'm ready for it
So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye
It's time to fly
Tonight the sky's alive
With lizards serpentine
Lounging in their suits and ties
Watch the whore's parade
For the price of fame, hey
Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it! [Repeat: x4]
So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye
Ladies and gentlemen,
These snakes is slitherin'
With dollar signs in their eyes
With tongues so reptilians
This industry's venomous
With cold-blooded sentiments
No need for nervousness
It's just a little turbulence
So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
So kiss me goodbye
Honey, I'm gonna make it out alive
So kiss me goodbye
I can see the venom in their eyes
Goodbye
Oh! I'm ready for it
Come on, bring it! [Repeat: x4]
We seem to be losing altitude at an alarming pace
From midtown to downtown
Snakes on a blog
I suggest you grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye
The lyrics of Cobra Starship's "Snakes On A Plane (Bring It)" talk about a strange situation. They are on a plane with snakes as passengers, and despite the obvious danger, they don't seem very bothered by it. In fact, they seem to be embracing their impending death by drinking cheap champagne and going down in flames. The chorus repeats the line "So kiss me goodbye," and while it can be interpreted as a romantic farewell, in this context, it feels like they are saying goodbye before their plane crashes.
The second verse shifts the focus a bit, describing the music industry as a den of snakes. The "lizards serpentine" are the record executives, dressed in suits and ties, who are only interested in making money. The "whore's parade" refers to the artists who sell out for fame, no matter the cost. The bridge features a flight attendant making an announcement about the snakes on the plane, but the lyrics quickly turn back to the music industry's metaphorical snakes, with their "dollar signs in their eyes" and "cold-blooded sentiments." The song ends with a reference to the movie and the infamous line, "I suggest you grab your ankles and kiss your ass goodbye."
