Cover art for Snakes lyrics by Great Northern

A very abstract song - I'd think it's probably about dealing with the fragility discovered in the course of "Fingers", emotional turmoil, and the trials of living life. You can endure, but after a while, you come to question why you're just standing still - if everything weren't confusing, perhaps you could finally move on.
