Duran Duran - Union Of The Snake Lyrics






Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There'sa fine line drawing
My senses together
And I think it's about to break

If I listen close I can hear them singers
Voices in your body coming through on the radio
The Union of the Snake is on the climb
Moving up it's gonna race it's gonna break
Through the borderline

Nightshades on a warning
Give me strength at least give me a light
Give me anything even sympathy
There's a chance you could be right

The Union of the Snake is on the climb
It's gonna race it's gonna break
Gonna move up to the borderline

    We must learn to integrate the dark with the light of our own souls, before we can truly be evolved. We must go inwards to our soul, to explore the darkness within to grow. We must revisit our lives, from childhood through traditional teachings, then ultimately reach truth of love and light.

    With this wisdom, we can finally break out...and our souls will be truly free.

    M.... F....

    Whether or not that is what was intended, we can see those lessons in the video. Going down in elevator is going into your own soul. Being down there is also visiting the darkness within. Seeing the children, as you were as a child, when you were innocent, and yet also being taught things which may not be true. The love birds, reminds us that Love is all there is, that Love is who we are. Rising up and out...we have reached this state of wisdom, this state of enlightenment. And this time, he has with him the secret scroll, which is the wisdom he obtained from the journey.


    Whether or not that is what was intended, does not matter. I see those types of lessons can be represented in the video.

    In the 6th grade this acting coach guy came to help us with a school performance we were doing. He was trying to explain to us how to fall correctly. Most of us were bracing ourselves, which was wrong. But one kid did it right. When he made the kid do it again to show us, all the girls in class said in unison "Like Simon!" because of 3:47 😁 . 1983. I want to go back.

  8. J.... S....

    I remember seeing these guys in concert shortly after the Calgary Saddledome opened in Calgary in 1983. I was working there , so got to see them from the penalty box! Lol. What a night! What awesome, AWESOME performers! With our arms held high, waving over our heads. I was 21 then. How important they were ( and, in some ways, still are ) I wouldn't trade my age for anyone if it meant losing those memories! From then, they only got even better! Bless you all!

    Am i the only one who thinks the music of 80's is more modern that 2010's.
    I am pretty sure many of them would be the greater hit that "despacito" (which I also like), if they had ben released just as they are today.. at the age of internet.

  28. T.... P....

    One of their best songs. Shame Simon was in Epstein's little black book, please say it isn't so 🙏

    recipe for a Duran Duran video:


    walking, walking, climbing, more walking
    puffy hair
    puffier shoulders
    leather
    lots of make up
    musical extras - big moves, jazz hands!
    pouty pouty
    walking, walking...
    and scene!


    and if anyone got something out of it, it was done wrong :P

  57. G.... P....

    just for fun

  58. c.... ....

    God! They're so good. But, does anyone know what they are singing about...ever?? So cerebral, something I never picked up on when i was listening to them as kid in the 80's.

    Duran Duran 280K subscribers.. that's so SO ridiculous! Where's all my fellow generation that grew up in the 80's on Duran Duran?

  67. H.... B....

    MUSIC TREND THE PRETTY CHILDREN DID THE ROCK AND ROLL ... THEN THEY CALLED THEM

  68. C.... P....

    Duran Duran is my favorite band duran duran would perform their own music

  69. l.... ....

    Riverdale, anyone?

  70. p.... ....

    If snake catcher Simon Keyes has a favourite Duran Duran song, this would be it!

  71. B.... E....

    Who else is in love with Simon LeBon !!!

  79. A.... N....

    someone here 2019 ?

    A.... N....

    Right here waiting And waiting the bolivarian revolution(To the Walking dead mode)

  80. l.... ....

    Right thoughout the 80's I was a closet Duran Duran fan (I was a goth, so Duran Duran was anathema). I exploded out of that closet in the 90's and never got back in. Union of the Snake is my favourite of all

  81. C.... F....

    The best (and only good) song off the whole album, don't @ me.

  82. x.... d....

    Who else was just looking for the riverdale song lmao

  83. S.... I....

    Is this song about sex? I could see how the “union” would be sex itself, and the snake is the penis. By that logic I suppose “movin’ up, gonna race, gonna race, gonna break through the borderline” would be busting the cherry? Idk.

    S.... I....

    nope you just got a dirty mind...

    S.... I....

    DesertRose122 interesting theory 🤔

  84. m.... ....

    Still Rocks Aug 2019!

    Accordind to imdb, Jennifer Connelly is one of the underground members.

    A.... U....

    It IS her? I always wondered about that!? Neat!

  93. K.... S....

    The 602 people who disliked this don't deserve ears.

  94. C.... H....

    The budget for the video was a broken down truck

  95. C.... B....

    Duran Duran is the best band of synth pop of the 80's,

  96. E.... E....

    DURAN DURAN were ahead of their time back in the 80's! What a brilliant song!

  97. L.... L....

    Happy DDAD

  98. t.... b....
