Discover the story of the song > Snake Song – isobel campbell and mark lanegan

The main character is describing themselves as a slippery and lonely individual who is also dangerous because they have poison and fangs. They shine bright like diamonds on a dark night and don't care about the future or others' opinions of them. Their skin represents their past and they are full of hatred, but they won't waste any venom on those who deny them. They will always be there for someone when they are sinking, regardless of what others think of them.
