I think this is talking about good times in the present, while someone is stuck in the past, and about some adventure to find the mystery in life now, not in the past.
"At the movies, eyes iced over
Walking sideways through them gutters
And you realize that the floor sticks to your feet like history
Well, don't you look at me like life don't hold you anymore mystery"
I think this is talking about how life gets difficult at times, and just hiding thinking of how things used to be doesn't change anything. Being optimistic doesn't change your troubles, just weather or not they really are troubles.
"Bag of splinters boiling over
On your back, expose your belly
Optimism doesn't change the facts
Just what you're gonna see"
Goes back to the present, walking, not even knowing where they are.
The adventure they go on in the present.
"Like it was stated that we're walking
Salt and coal
Plants solidify sunshine
How this start, I don't know
Cars and feet and then tire change, shoe stores
The sun's diary pulled up from deep canary holes
And when we read it our skin it becomes warm"
Repeat
Maybe talking about how the past was fun, all the time's where great, but he is ready for more.
"All those red marks on our shoulders
Self back-patting, homemade trophies
Well, the past only exist as tiny bricks we burn to release all it's memory
I've had enough with rolling boulders, I want more moss on me"
Saying shit happens to everyone but life goes on, just take what you can from the past and let it rest. Not sure about the snakes?
"Clocks to splinters, but time goes forward
And when them trees drop leaves your feet collect their memories
I guess all us snakes find our tail pretty damn tasty"
