Snake is the debut single by post-metalcore band Auraboros. It was released digitally on October 12, 2020.

Conception and Composition
Snake was written in 2015 shortly after the passing of Paul Cooper, who was a friend and mentor to the band. Lead songwriter Rayne Williams wrote the basis of the song initially, and then finished it a few months later with Aaron West writing lead guitar, with lyrics being written by Williams in 2019. The song deals with the death of Cooper and Williams' grandfather.

The song is in an alternate F# tuning; both guitars are tuned the same (F# F# B E G# C#), whilst the bass - utilising a 5 string - is tuned to an open F# tuning (F# B F# B E).
