Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Collide's song Slither Thing appear to be describing a person or perhaps a feeling that is all-encompassing, overpowering, and overwhelming the singer. The repeated use of the phrase "slithering, slither thing" creates a sense of something sneaky or insidious that is creeping up on the singer, while the repetitive use of the word "sweet" suggests that whatever this thing is, it is also enticing or alluring in some way. The lines "multi-color, fragmented" hint at a sense of disorientation or confusion, as if the singer is struggling to make sense of this thing that is happening to them. The repeated phrase "overloading me" suggests that the singer is being inundated with sensations or emotions that they can't quite handle.


Overall, the lyrics create a sense of intense, almost overwhelming emotion. The repetition of certain phrases and words gives the song a hypnotic quality, as if the singer is being drawn into some kind of trance-like state. The meaning of the lyrics is somewhat ambiguous - it's not entirely clear what the "slither thing" is meant to represent - but the sense of being consumed by something, of being unable to resist its pull, is palpable.
