Song Meaning of “Sssnakepit” by Enter Shikari
‘Sssnakepit’ by Enter Shikari is a song about the idea of being stuck in the same situations over and over again in life. The narrator is feeling overwhelmed by the same problems and challenges they have faced for a long time, but they can’t seem to break out of the pattern. They reflect on the way everything keeps going around in circles, like they are stuck in a “snakepit” with no way out. The song is a call to look at life from a new perspective and take control of the situation to break out and make changes. The narrator wants to instead find a “sun on the rise” outside the oppressive feeling of the “snakepit”. The chorus encourages the listener to not give in and make a change, even if it feels like it’s impossible to do so. It’s a powerful anthem to remind people that they have the power to make things better.
