about

“A Snake Called Ean”, off Visibly Choked’s self-titled EP, is set in motion by a catchy bass line and clockwork krautrock drumming, where guitar parts intertwine under softly sung words about the trials of relationships. Its lyrics, “It’s so much harder / To love you than to need you”, floated atop a crescendo that eventually fizzles, are, all at once, the hunger that feeds loneliness and the dread that comes when one tries to handle a snake.

lyrics

Apathy is taking over me
Picking at me like a flea
Can’t move, can’t think
Now, I need a drink
Softness of forgetting
Sweet clouds of numbing

It’s so much harder
To love you than to need you

I can get through the days
It’s the night that weighs
When memories relapse
And barriers collapse
Days full of care
Promises made of air

It’s so much harder
To love you than to need you

I eat lovers
Without care or distinction
You fed an endless hunger
I tore you asunder
You were slaughtered and burned
For a love I could never return

It’s so much harder
To love you than to need you
