call_me_snake | Charloft: Songs that could have been written about Snake

1. Behind Blue Eyes- The Who.

This is always the first song I think of. Aside from the fact Snake does have blue eyes the lyrics are perfect for the man he is. The song to me has always been about a man cold and hard on the outside but wishing he could be something else, something softer and more like everyone else.

2. The Unforgiven - Metallica

This is another song about a man who is other than he wants. To me this song has always represented Snake's view on his military career and the backlash after. The man crushed, imprisoned and still trying to go on. This song always reminds me of Snake's military career and then the after and Escape from New York.

3. Save Yourself - Stabbing Westward

Snake's canon relationships have always been between himself and someone pushed and broken as far as he is. As odd as it might sound for me this is canon Snake's love song. The I want to love you but it's not safe.

4. Blood Red Skies- Judas Priest

"You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me,
Under blood red skies

You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies"
..... do I even need to say more? This is Snake's determination.

5. I Don't Want to Be a Hero -Johnny Hates Jazz

This is Snake through and through after he saw the truth of war. He's good at war. He loves war and yet he hates the blood and the death. He thinks it's a waste.
