Ever feel like life is one big, confusing trip? This song dives deep into that feeling. It’s about being born into a world where you already feel burdened and lost, carrying the weight of expectations and past traumas. The imagery of a "snake-like walk" suggests moving through life with a sense of unease or deceit. The references to dreaming and feeling ill highlight a struggle with identity and reality. Ultimately, it paints a picture of someone grappling with their place in the world, haunted by loneliness and a sense of displacement.
Snakeskin
Lyrics
I was born already nailed to the cross
I was born with a feeling, I was lost
I was born with the ability to talk
I was born with a snake-like walk
I was trippin' now on a city cloak
They were separated then with sunlight shrouds
I was born with a crippled man on my back
I was national, I was geographic black
I was dreaming of a man with a neon pack
I was dreaming of a man with a heart attack
I lost my marbles all over the pink, pink gauge
I tried to find a cable that was engaged
I was lost in that home for the aged and lonely
I cried and I choked, I was sick and I was boney
I was feelin' kinda ill, I was feelin' kinda lonely
The time was erased, yes but, I was so homely
