Rina SawayamaAbout
On the haunting closing track of her debut album, Rina sings about her choice of pouring her personal pain into commercial pop songs. As a closure to a very personal and introspective album that deals mostly with family issues, “Snakeskin” stands as a grand finale into acceptance of your own persona...
Snakeskin Lyrics
[Intro]
Looking for forgiveness
I ran into your madness
Shutting off my brain just to spite my
Heart
Heart
Ha-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 1]
You're slithering, slithering, slithering into my heart, yeah
You're changing my, changing my, changing my, changing my mind, yeah
I'm shedding, I'm shedding, I'm shedding, I'm shedding my snakeskin
You're wearin' it, wearin' it, wearin' it every day, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Buy my expensive, exclusive, pain wear
My fine couture is your branded repayment
I tear my soul into two so that you can
P-p-p-pretend despair
[Chorus]
Like a snakeskin, l-l-l-like a snakeskin
Like a snakeskin, l-l-l-like a snakeskin
Like a snakeskin, like a snakeskin
Wear me out and tear me down like
[Verse 2]
Rip rip, rip rip, rip rip
I'll tear you down like
Strip strip, strip strip, strip strip
So run before I
Bit bit, bit bit, bit bit
And make you all
Addicted, addicted
Addicted to my snakeskin
Rip rip, rip rip, rip rip
I'll tear you down like
Strip strip, strip strip, strip strip
So run before I
Bit bit, bit bit, bit bit
And make you all
Addicted, addicted
Addicted to my snakeskin
[Pre-Chorus]
Buy my expensive, exclusive, pain wear
My fine couture is your branded repayment
I tear my soul into two so that you can
P-p-p-pretend despair
[Chorus]
Like a snakeskin, l-l-l-like a snakeskin
Like a snakeskin, l-l-l-like a snakeskin
Like a snakeskin, like a snakeskin
Wear me out and tear me down like
[Outro]

What have the artists said about the song?
I wanted this to close the album because I felt like the album itself was my snakeskin; I shed my trauma and made art out of it– now it' s up to the listeners to consume and industry to commercialise. At the end you can hear my mum talking about her intentions as a woman turning 60. The album is abo...
What have the artists said about the song?
This has a Beethoven sample [Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 13 ‘Pathétique’]. It’s a song that my mum used to play on the piano. It’s the only song I remember her playing, and it only made sense to end with that. I wanted it to end with her voice, and that’s her voice, that little more crackle o...
