The lyrics to Diane Cluck's song "Snake" are open to interpretation, but one possible meaning could be a warning about the dangers of repeating the same mistakes. The repetition of the lines "Walk up to the snake / Get bit / Die" emphasizes the consequences of continuously approaching a poisonous snake. This could be seen as a metaphor for repeatedly engaging in harmful behaviors or relationships, and experiencing the same negative outcome each time.
Alternatively, the lyrics could be read as a commentary on the inevitability of death. The snake, a common symbol of death and rebirth, could represent mortality itself. The repeated deaths of the singer, each time from the same snake, could be a reminder that death is an ever-present threat that cannot be avoided.
