Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Snake Eyes” by The Wood Brothers
‘Snake Eyes’ by The Wood Brothers is a song about taking a risk and committing to something, despite the possibility of failure. The narrator speaks of eyes of a snake, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the power of fate and destiny. He reflects on the odds of success, noting that if he takes a chance and rolls the dice of fate, it might be a losing battle, but in the end, it will be worth it. The chorus speaks of the strength of courage and conviction, despite the danger and risk of failure, by comparing life and its trials to a game of chance. The singer hopes that with faith in himself and those around him, he will be able to find a way to fight against the odds. This song encourages us to take a risk, and to remain steadfast in our beliefs, even if in the end, it might be to our detriment.
