I like the idea of the pet snake escaping and eating its owner (as revenge/natural instinct). Hit = kill, master = owner (kill your master). The warm little beasts are mice. An aperitif. "Holding you tied... Constricting viscous rings"... is the snake constricting and swallowing its prey. "You don't seem to share my impatience" (my eagerness to follow the natural course). "Now I'm on the other side, you seem surprised." Now the role has reversed you seem surprised that your 'play' thing could overtake you and do what it wanted with you. "You know me"... (you think you know).

I think the snake is a metaphor for a person being underrated/suppressed and rising above. Or something along those lines.

Very very catchy!!
