In so many stories a serpent appears, all meaning variations of the same thing - a clever challenge, one that might not be winnable but is irresistible. The girl is in the crowd, watching Pierce the Veil - she loves their music and this is so cool and she's thinking - why not push it back a few weeks? Why not threaten my plans by making life worth living? She's internally challenging them, much like the "serpent" she speaks of. That's what she wants, and that's the "me" and the "moment" being threatened and murdered, respectively. As anyone who's ever been suicidal knows, you get to the point where you almost find pleasure in the countdown, waiting for that one day when all your problems will end. This isn't speaking to not having a place to stay, this is a metaphor for the little things that are taking her down. Once you fill those bottom rungs of the hierarchy you can move on to bigger things, like not being depressed. Knowing where you're going to sleep is very low on Maslow's hierarchy of need. I'm sorry, I can't see that you truly love me." I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight.īut, why don't you threaten me with a good time? Because the second you open your mouth you lose credibility. That's something else depression can do - you need to talk but you feel like you can't, you're calling for help with your eyes, with your body, with anything but those dangerous lips and tongue. This is something she does a lot, staring but not speaking about her problems. The lips and tongue are responsible for speech. He needs to realize that she "can't handle self", and he needs to save her.
He's speaking to his own personal failings here - a girl in the crowd was going to kill herself and he's up onstage playing and having fun? It's the thought here that maybe if he wasn't spending his time playing and having fun she'd still be alive. I feel like the chorus has to do with the idea that all rock stars do is play. Staring at me with your lips and tongue." This verse is a little weird because I don't know if she's talking or Vic is.
