Bring Me The Horizon - "And The Snakes Start To Sing" (Full Album Stream)

[@fishy000]

The raw emotion Oliver Sykes poured into this song (and the whole album really) shows how passionate he was about what he was singing about. It's really refreshing. I honestly don't think I've ever heard more emotion in a song before. It actually kind of makes me feel like either screaming or crying, it's that powerful.

[@dames313]

Listen to americans by this or the apocalypse. They put a lot of emotion in the song. And its amazing

[@Cthulhu151]

Pretty sure most Beartooth songs have more emotion, especially Sick and Disgusting.

[@fishy000]

William W I wouldn't say Beartooth songs have more emotion. Maybe somewhere close, but the emotion in the songs on Sempiternal just seems so real. Beartooth's emotion almost sounds forced at times. Don't get me wrong, I love Beartooth and all, but I'd say this wins the emo contest haha.

[@Cthulhu151]

They're both great.

[@yuseffmedina6292]

I know this is a 5 year old comment, but if you want vocals with emotion, go listen to La Dispute

LYRICS I've lost the plot again Tell your friends to sharpen their teeth There's a few quid to be made... And my soul's a sorry state So come on down, you empty lovers. Worms come out of the woodwork And the snakes start to sing. Do you feel the chill, Clawing at the back of your neck? I start to spill. Did you really think that you could fix me? They'll sell your bones for another roll. Well sharpen your teeth. Tell yourself that it's just business. Worms come out of the woodwork. Leeches crawl from out of the dirt Rats come out of the holes they call home, I fall apart. And the snakes start to sing. Don't say I'm better off dead, 'Cause heaven's full and hell won't have me. Won't you make some room in your bed? Oh, well you could lock me up in your heart, And throw away the key. Won't you take me out of my head? I'm just a would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was and never ever will be. Well, sharpen your teeth. Tell yourself that it's just business. Would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was, and never ever will be. Worms come out of the woodwork, And the snakes start to sing. Worms come out of the woodwork. Leeches crawl from out of the dirt Rats come out of the holes they call home, I fall apart. And the snakes start to sing. If you can't soar with the eagles, Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting high? Did you catch your own reflection, In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes? If you can't soar with the eagles, Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting by? Was I your knight in shining armour, The apple of your eye? Or just a step to climb? If you can't soar with the eagles, Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting high? Did you catch your own reflection, In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes? If you can't soar with the eagles, Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting by? Was I your knight in shining armour, Or the apple of your eye? Or just a step, a fucking step to climb?

[@TheCamposChronicles]

The entire "Sempiternal" album hits me. The five songs that really hit me are "Can You Feel My Heart" because Oli took exactly what I was feeling about a grim situation I was in, "And The Snakes Start To Sing" because during that time, I felt like every one wanted to kill me because of what I said to start the situation, and also that everyone was bullshitting me to get what they wanted from me, and I didn't see that until I heard this song. Makes me cry every time, "Seen It All Before" because it makes me think of the love I screwed everything up with, "Hospital For Souls" because during that time, I didn't want to be left alone, like he says in that song, "Hold me close, don't let go." He wants his love to comfort him in his shitty ass situation, and never let him go, also "Have you ever took a blade to your wrists? Have you been skipping meals? We're gonna try something new today! How does that make you feel?" I've cut myself before, on my forearm. I have skipped meals before, "Join The Club" because for a long time, I thought I was the only one who felt really down. Other BMTH songs that touch me are "It Never Ends" because I want to get rid of problems, and beat them, "Blessed With A Curse" because I lost my true love because of something I said, and was lying to her. I'm working my ass off to fix it, and get her back, and "Drown" because I'm broken, and she's the only one that can fix me, but I hurt her, so I'm unsure how it'll work.

Or the hell in my father's eyes?"

[@TMIATC]

Sempiternal was by far their best album.

[@emilydegnan4455]

I totally agree!

[@alexmichalski7559]

definitely

[@Nutellachocolateful]

+Ms. DBZ Dubs LOL, Have you ever heard Count Your Blessings? is the best work they have done so far

[@IMButterKing]

+Camilla Milla Count Your Blessings is probably the heaviest one they've ever put out but you have to think about it like this. sempiternal is one of the ones that they produced , worked on, and created with a passion. Yeah sure There Is A Hell might also have a passion driven with it but Sempiternal marks BMTH's level of creativity and meaning. Songs like And The Snakes & Hospital For Souls posses something than a couple of riffs and choruses. I really can't rate their albums because each one has their own pros to them. They all are awesome and unique in their own way. Just appreciate what they have made so far and dont hate what they are now (:

[@suppmydiff3257]

It says both for fucks sake Background vocals in the first verse very clearly says "wolves". (Right after he says "empty lovers": that 100% says wolves) Oli in the chorus clearly says worms The line about pack animals sharpening their teeth and selling your blood for their rush doesn't work with worms: it's reflecting the wolfpack mentality drug addicts fall into when their lives are no longer their own Both are said at different points in the song and there's points in the chorus where I'm almost entirely sure both words are layered into the backing vocals

[@lizbethzarate4982]

The emotion that Oli poured into this entire song is just amazing. I enjoy BMTH in their deathcore days as well as I do with the mix of screaming and clean vocals but you can just hear the emotions in his voice with this song. If I did a cover I would be crying and screaming by the time it was over. It's just so amazing. Really reminds me of 'It Never Ends'. Just so much emotion in the voice and with the video, you saw his eyes and know he means every single word he screams out loud. Just purely beautiful. I have to put this in the playlist with Second And Sebring because it's just so beautiful. -Jinxx

"Was I your knight in shining armor or the apple of your eye, or just a step to climb?" I feel like my ex boyfriend feels this way about me. That's a pretty depressing thought. I'll just dwell in this for a while.

[@catcat4697]

Its the way i feel about a girl i loved and gave my full trust I tried to help whit recovering from her anorexia but she never really listend to what i said It just slowly teared me apart emotionally Then from out of nowere she got mad at me because i said she was beautifull to me however she looks That leaded me to a mental breakdown i was full of anger and said things to her that i knew they would hurt her The days after that i had several suïcide attempts and slitted my wrists like a thousend times But after a while i reallized that "No matter how fucked you'll get the sun will always come back up" I've really learned alot about myself trought that time and since everytime i think about that girl the text "was i your knicht in shining armor' The apple of your eyes, or just a step to climb? I really dont know why i told you all of that but maybe it will help you somtime in the future

[@MissPurpur]

Cornij van den Bogaard Thank you for telling me, I see where you're coming from.. She got mad at you because you told her she looks beautiful either way? How did that make her mad? I don't get that part. Did she end up recovering though? :/

[@catcat4697]

Well she suffered from annotexia and had a low self esteam, so she probally thought i was lying to her when i said she was beautifull, because thats why she never really listened to me in the first place At the moment she still isnt fully healthy But it goes better as from what i heard

[@MissPurpur]

Cornij van den Bogaard I see... I know how hard it must be, considering I used to be kind of like her too and have an ex best friend with the same problem and she sounds as stubborn as my ex best friend, that chick got aggressive, as if I insulted her. At least you went through what you had to, right? I hope that the same will happen for me but I'm still in my phase of missing my ex boyfriend and trying to talk to him while he gives me 1-3 word answers. xP

[@catcat4697]

I indeed learned alot trough that time i kinda learned it the hard way to be honest but it helped me in a way that i now know how to feel when things happen and how to see how poeple gonna react I hope you'll get a good new chance whit your ex boyfrend Just think to yourself if he really is the type of person you deserve, and just give it some time.

[@lindaglocke5673]

Ok.This is my interpretation of what the song means, hate it, love it,not my decision. Sorry for any spelling errors I've lost the plot again(he's lost the meaning of his existance/his porpose/what hes going to do in life, you get the gist) Tell your friends to sharpen their teeth(his "friends" are vicious/savages, as in they would sell his secrets to the press if given the chance) There's a few quid to be made(i see this as he's taking bets with himself to see how long till those "friends" sell his secrets/abandon him) And my soul's a sorry state(he sees his soul as torn or broken) So come on down, you empty lovers.(he believes his lover doesn't care for him anymore or is unfaithful) Wolves come out of the woodwork(a secret that could potentially kill him, metaphorically or physically) And the snakes start to sing(His "friends" finally give up his secrets). Do you feel the chill, Clawing at the back of your neck?(he's been cold/distant toward his lover and he doesn't think they notice) And start to spill, Did you really think that you could fix me?(his lover, after seeing his secrets have been sold, tries to make him feel better, possibly to keep up appearences or to make him think that the lover in question is still faithful) They'll sell your bones for another roll.(he's sortof warning is lover that if they tell their secrets to the "friends" that they will sell them out for money or other things) Well sharpen your teeth.(he's telling the lover something along the lines of "hey, go join them. Spill all my secrets.If you wont be mine and mine alone, leave.") Tell yourself that it's just business.(the lover believes that the reason he's acting this way is because of his career) Wolves come out of the woodwork.(same) Leeches come from out of the dirt.(same) Rats come out of the holes they call home,(the "friends" come out of the shadows and try to make him believe that it wasn't them that sold his secrets) And I fall apart.(at this point he has broken down and possibly self harmed/attempted suicide) And the snakes start to sing.(same) Don't say I'm better off dead,(him and the lover are arguing at this point and they have said that he's better off dead) Cause heaven's full and hell won't have me.(he believes that he isn't good enough for heaven and hell doesn't want him) Won't you make some room in your bed?(he wants the lover to quit seeing this other person and for them to make room in their life for him) Well you could lock me up in your heart, And throw away the key.(he only wants to be theirs, and no one elses,and wants for him to be the only one in the lovers heart) Won't you take me out of my head?(he wants them to make him forget about his problems) I'm just a would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was and never ever will be.(he and this lover are broken up and he believes that its his fault and that he wasnt good enough for his lover) Well sharpen your teeth.(same) Tell yourself that it's just business.(his lover is trying to make themself believe that the only reason he's so stressed and angry is because his career) Would've been, could've been, Should've been, never was, and never ever will be. Wolves come out of the woodwork, And the snakes start to sing. Wolves come out of the woodwork. Leeches crawl from out of the dirt. Rats come out of the holes they call home, And I fall apart. And the snakes start to sing. If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock.(he's saying that if his lover cant be faithful, then don't pretend that they are) Are you still getting high?(the lover has an addiction) Did you catch your own reflection, In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes?(he's talking about how his mother had an addiction similar to tat of his lovers and that on day his mother pulled a knife on his father, who could possibly be drunk, who possibly abused him and his mother, that being the reason she turned to drugs) If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting by? Was I your knight in shining armor? The apple of your eye? Or just a step to climb?(hes asking if he was just toy to his lover or something more) If you can't soar with the eagles Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting high? Did you catch your own reflection In the knife my mother held? Or the hell in my father's eyes? If you can't soar with the eagles, Then don't fly with the flock. Are you still getting by? Was I your knight in shining armor? Or the apple of your eye? Or just a step, a fucking step to climb?

[@yallahhabibi1012]

It's more about addiction through my eyes. Well... Ears.

[@lindaglocke5673]

it could be. After reading my interpretation over again I realize that. But I don't know. I'm still confident with mine. We could both be right in a way because Oli didn't release the meaning of the song.

[@matt_fs]

Top-notch analysis. Never looked at it in that perspective!

[@jacobvera2014]

You literally copied and pasted this analysis from a website

This song is so beautiful it sound like a dream.

[@dropdeaddarling3661]

Was I your Knight in shining armour ? The Apple of your eye? Or just a Step to climb?

[@Landry_Houston]

Rye not eye

[@returningtheday]

Landry Houston "apple of your eye" is a figure of speech.

[@palmtree1958]

Landry Houston it's eye, listen to it again

[@nomeru_0]

Landry Houston apple of your I makes no sense..

[@johannes7259]

4:07 my favorite... it fits with my vocal chords

[@aaliyahkremzar4538]

I love that the entire Sempiternal album was written by Oli when he was in rehab. ❤

[@roshanfey]

Aaliyah Kremzar i'm pretty sure it was after rehab!

[@markbelladormartino6243]

Was I your knight in shining armour, Or the apple of your eye Or just a step, a fucking step to climb...

[@reneemiller8877]

No matter how many times I listen to this song I never seem to get sick of it

[@lyssdish3437]

this hit me like don't go, omg it's been so long since I've listened to bmth I missed thiss

[@hiei5678]

People think this is emo; I say people don't have the intellectual capacity to categorize music into genres correctly. People like that need to go back to their top 15 hit pop songs of 2013 because they clearly can't understand what makes good music good.

[@jessierindfleisch1591]

thank you

[@LetsStopThisSong]

Hell yeah

[@roshanfey]

exactly.

[@jordynneil]

when the voices come back, this song always helps

[@evejacobschanel]

Im so in love with this song it literally explains so many of my "friends"

[@biohazard6340]

Those Columbian Red tail boas are pretty hot

[@lylah4202]

literally me

[@justsomeguywholosthismusta8495]

When Oli screamed the lyrics at the end, I felt that.

[@axophoria]

Everytime I listen to this song, it puts me right back to when I first heard it. I was in the 12th grade, working on my Extended Essay for the IB program at my high school. I was depressed because the girl I had fallen for decided to be with my best friend and I also had came in 2nd place at a Yugioh tournament. I was behind on my essay because I had procrastinated for a long ass time. I listened to the rest of the album on repeat and ended up knocking the paper out that night.

[@popegeorgelucasii933]

idk why melon gave this album a 2/10, it's one of the most creative metal-core albums we have imo

[@namitjaspal8895]

His voice is just too good for KZbin

[@rayyyviin]

Don't say I'm better off dead, cause heavens full and hell won't have me.

[@lalamcc4430]

the amount of emotion in this song honestly its so great to actually feel something from music wow I love it

[@notyourabg]

Every time I listen to their older music, my mind like low-key trips out. The new stuff doesn't bring that same feeling, but I still like it all the same.

[@meganhayley8176]

This song is just fucking great. One of my favorites on the album.

[@mxxxela]

This was my ringtone for 3 years, wow.

[@pinkiepiecupcakes9412]

[@ushernotasher8964]

As soon as the guitar and drums went in, i imagine myself walking alone in a mist or into the night.

[@adelynnlim587]

I watched them perform live two days ago. My life is complete. I love them too much.

[@Gingnos]

Why this song so relaxing. I always play this everytime when I'm going to sleep🎶😂😂

[@レイナ-l4y]

This song gives me the chills.. I love it!

[@HandleHandleson]

I remember when I heard Sleepwalking and went through the whole album... One of the best decisions in my life 🤟

[@HaileyLynnthatgirl]

his singing voice is so beautiful

[@DrewMcIntyerGurl33]

Love this song so much xDD
