NOTE, this is not intended to be a reference. It is how the artist describes the art... https://atwoodmagazine.com/bkck-bridget-kearney-comeback-kid-album-interview-music-feature/ Atwood Magazine spoke with Bridget Kearney about "Snakes of Paradise" which she described as..."For Kearney, Comeback Kid is the metaphorical and musical rise out of Snakes In Paradise’s emotional low point. “Life goes on and you have your highs and lows, so it’s not like you can compose an emotional arc for your life and expect for it to go just as you planned it,” she says. “Snakes In Paradise was being honest with some of the darker things that I was feeling. I’m very much an optimist and a cheerleader, and always trying to put a good spin on things in my day-to-day life, but we all experienced loss and heartbreak and jealousy and fear. That’s something that’s easier for me to put into song than to really talk about face-to-face. That was a place for me to just give some real talk and then hopefully move on. Comeback Kid, I think, especially towards the top of the record, like ‘If You’re Driving’ is coming from a moment of uncertainty, but of just saying yes to the moment, jumping back on that horse, metaphorically, and going for a ride, and even if something happens to interrupt it, it’s like, ‘yes, let’s go.’”

I also think it’s the most raw and honest I’ve been able to be in song, so far. Singing about human stuff that sometimes humans have a hard time talking about, or at least I do! Metaphorically, it’s about the snakes that whisper in our ears and our best efforts to rise above and remember that we are actually in paradise. Right now!”
