Snake Charmer
T.V. Carpio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She made 'em raise with a blow, she made 'em raise with a blow
She kept every man in a golden bowl
I was the meanest cobra, knocking at her door
But she always kept her distance, all you got was a show

One step forth strutting all I've got
Two steps back 'til I hit the floor
She was a snake charmer
She kissed with judas lips
She was a snake charmer
Oh baby let me in

She chased 'em in the fields of young adrenaline
The secret of her beauty was gasoline
I was the gas boy standing there to please her thirst
But when we reached the top a match made my burst

One step forth strutting all I've got
I'll ram your door, I'll come again for more

She was a snake charmer
She kissed with judas lips




She was a snake charmer
Oh baby let me in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of T.V. Carpio's song Snake Charmer depict a woman who has the power to manipulate and control men with her allure and charm. The singer describes how this woman, who he refers to as a snake charmer, has the ability to make any man she desires raise to her call, and keep them within her grasp, just like animals in a golden bowl. Despite her power over men, the singer, who is metaphorically depicted as a cobra, can never get close to her as she always keeps her distance, offering nothing but a show. The singer goes on to describe how the snake charmer's beauty is like gasoline, fueling the desires of men who are entranced by her. The singer, who is the gas boy standing there to please her thirst, finally gets to the top, only to have everything burn up in flames.


Overall, the song is about the power dynamics in relationships and how some people have the ability to control others with their charm and beauty. It also touches on the destructive consequences of these relationships, where one party is left broken and burnt. The repeated chorus emphasizes the seductive nature of the snake charmer and the singer's desire to be let in.

What happened to Britney? Was she a prisoner? I thought all celebs were slaves to their masters who took all their money (their agents). They sign a deal knowing full well they sign part of their soul away. It's all hush hush
