"Year Of The Snake" lyrics
"Year Of The Snake"
It's that time of the season
When you think about leaving
Oh, woah
I knew that you would, I knew that you would
In the season of strangers
When we were in danger
Oh
I reached out to you like you knew that I would
Like you knew that I would
It's the season of change, and if you feel strange
It's probably good
In the year of the rabbit
I picked up the habit
Of waiting on you
In the year of the snake
I made a clean break
And tried something new
I fly in my Aerostar
I picked up a new scar
I tried to be good
But I'm a real boy
And my heart's full of love
It's not made out of wood
So do what's true, don't do what you should
It's the season of change
And if you feel strange
It's probably good
Season of change
If you feel strange
It's probably good
Season of change
If you feel strange
It's probably good
Let your heart break
Let the earth quake
Let the stars of Texas fall in the lake
Just do what's true, you ain't gotta be fake
Let the fire blaze
Let the light change
Let the heavenly body fall out of phase
It's a new age, don't do what you should
It's the season of change
It'll make you feel strange
It's probably good
Season of change
If you feel strange
It's probably good
Season of change
If you feel strange
It's probably good
It's the year of the snake so let your heart break
It's the year of the snake so let your heart break
It's the year of the snake so let your heart break

"Year Of The Snake" is the lead single from Arcade Fire's studio album "Pink Elephant". The song was premiered on April 8, 2025, accompanied by the
music video whose description mentioned that the video is
"a special collaboration with Mark Prendergast, David Wilson and Arcade Fire". In the clip, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne are on a road trip from Mardi Gras to the Butler's native Houston briefly visiting
Willie Nelson.
This song is named so because the year 2025 is the Lunar Year of the Snake in the Chinese Zodiac. The band said of their new music in a statement, "When experienced in its entirety, 'Pink Elephant' invites the listener on a sonic odyssey – a quest for life – that exists within the perception of the individual, a meditation on both darkness and light, the beauty within. The layers of this condensed epic unfold to reveal new dimensions with each successive listen."
