Rattlesnake Lyrics

Cover art for Rattlesnake lyrics by St. Vincent

My first impression, as a song writer myself, is that this sounds like a literal real day-in-the-life experience.

Yet, one could still find it to be a metaphor for coming of age free & unafraid, unguarded & uninhibited.
The shocking realization that this world lies in wait to prey upon the innocent.

Isn't that a shame! ☺
