all hail the serpent
Particle Thief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once burrowed beneath the ground
A sharp tongue to tease the mind
Temptation to which I'm bound
All hail the serpent
Infinity never ends
All hail the serpent
The blink of an eye
Can alter your life
Sometimes in the night
I feel I'm shedding
All hail the serpent
All hail the serpent
The trail it has left behind
Leads right to my feet
Corruption of humankind
There's death in the streets
Closing your eyes
Can alter your life
Deep in the night
The psyches collide
Fall
Closings walls
Bring us close
Are we all
Descending
Down
Look in the eye of the devil
Feel as the coil of the serpent strengthens
Bound by the heightening sense of danger
Seduces me with anger
Keeping composure through intensifying pain
Ingurgitate paralyzed offering
All hail the serpent
All hail the serpent
The lyrics to Particle Thief's song "All Hail the Serpent" delve deeply into the power dynamics of temptation and the corrupting influence of power. The blades coming down represent the sharpness of danger, and the danger of being consumed by temptation. There's a sense of being bound to it, unable to resist its pull. Saying "all hail the serpent" heightens this sense of surrender to temptation or corruption.
The song also explores the idea of infinity and the concept of time. No matter what we pretend, infinity continues on, unmoved by our attempts to manipulate it. The blink of an eye can alter our lives, emphasizing how time is always ticking, always affecting us in ways we may not even be aware of.
The final verse of the song describes the danger and corruption that the serpent (representing power) brings. The trail it leaves behind leads right to our feet, symbolizing how corruption is often hard to escape or hide from. The lyrics encourage the listener to look danger in the eye, even if it strengthens its hold on us. The song ends with a final call to hail the serpent, perhaps suggesting that the power dynamics of temptation and corruption are ultimately too alluring to resist.

See the blades coming down
I see trouble approaching
Once burrowed beneath the ground
Something hidden, is about to reveal itself
A sharp tongue to tease the mind
Words that hurt but we can't help thinking about
Temptation to which I'm bound
A desire I cannot resist
All hail the serpent
I praise the thing that tempts me
Infinity never ends
The concept of endlessness exists
No matter what we pretend
We can't hide the truth from ourselves
The blink of an eye
A moment is all it takes
Can alter your life
To change your fate
Sometimes in the night
When everything is quiet
I feel I'm shedding
Like I am losing a part of myself
The trail it has left behind
The signs it has left behind
Leads right to my feet
Directing me to where it is
Corruption of humankind
The world is full of corruption
There's death in the streets
People are dying on the streets
Closing your eyes
To ignore the problem
Can alter your life
Can change one's perspective
Deep in the night
When all is still
The psyches collide
The thoughts within are jarring
Fall
Lose
Closings walls
There are no escape routes
Bring us close
In the face of danger, we come together
Are we all
Are we really all the same
Descending
We are in a state of 'falling'
Down
Going lower and lower
Look in the eye of the devil
Brave enough to face my fear
Feel as the coil of the serpent strengthens
The more I give in, the more difficult it becomes
Bound by the heightening sense of danger
Unable to ignore the impending danger
Seduces me with anger
I am lured by the temptation of anger
Keeping composure through intensifying pain
I try to stay calm even as things get worse
Ingurgitate paralyzed offering
I consume the things that paralyze me
All hail the serpent
I continue to embrace the thing that harms me
