Snakes on a Plane (Bring It) Lyrics

Times are strange

We got a free upgrade for

snakes on a plane.

Fuck em, I don't care.

Bought the cheap champagne,

we're going down in flames, hey.


Oh, I'm ready for it

Come on, bring it.

Oh, I'm ready for it

Come on,...

   I think it is about the cruel business of money, with 'snakes' being used in a slang-ish way; meaning money-obsessed men (or women), eg. "Watching whores parade for the price of fame", which you could associate with pimps or rich businessmen looking for a good time. Also, "Snakes are slithering with dollar signs in their eyes, with tongues so reptilian" supports this. The reference to tongues could refer to how they speak; with wealth-enduced confidence.
   
   Personally, I think it's Gabe's character having to do something (involving snakes... on a plane) that he doesn't want to do, eg. commiting a crime of (possible) vast proportions, kind of like some kind of underground organisation, similar to a mafia.
   
   The chorus hints that it's life-threatening in both ways. If he does it (whatever it is) he could be killed and if he doesn't he could meet the same fate. "Kiss me Goodbye," tells us he's telling someone about it, with somekind of fear almost.
   
   Hope this helps :D

   In this song (and video) they (Gabe,Travis,William and Maja) are acting like they are the villains in the movie trying to sneak snakes onto the plane. In the chorus William says kiss me goodbye I'm gonna make it out alive he is helping boarding the snakes so he knows he will be okay. Later in the song Travis says I suggest you grab your ankles and kiss yor ass goodbye meaning they're on the plane and going to go through with their plan.(I think)
