About this song
The song's title phrase comes from a conversation Zach Hill had with a street person in Sacramento named Snake Eyes, who was recorded on a porch without knowing it. Zach said he liked the line enough to build the hook around it, which he explained in a 2012 Pitchfork interview.
What it's about
MC Ride describes feeling detached from the violence he has witnessed in the ghetto, as if it were a dream or video footage. He also reflects on the disturbing material available online, such as decapitation and police brutality videos, and how both real life and online footage have left him desensitized.
