| Snails Lyrics Artist(Band):The Format
Show me that you care And love's not just a flare on my sleeve Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes, Set the perfect stage. 'Cause wood grain makes all man made things seem so out of date Life is not a play, it's what we Make of the people we love. Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch Oh why, why, why, why, oh, why Are you quick to kiss? She bites at blades and leaves God damn you shrubbery Well I’m sick of vanity plays Should we move to the UK? 'Cause life here in the states has escaped All the people above us. What we make of those people we love (Chorus) Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch Oh why, why, why, why, why Are you quick to kiss? Baby, maybe I spoke too soon I’ll touch you once you make the first move Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch I watch her as she runs My mother jumps the gun She puts her in her arms That is just like my mom Never lets go, never lets me grow old I wanna pay her back But love is nothing you can tax My family’s not rich by any means But I feel we won the lottery, that day The rock swallowed the girl And I cried as cameras caught my eyes My tears turned into butterflies They fly away as caskets close A new day comes you’ll wake unfolding Smile when you feel the sunlight You feel the sunlight You feel the sunlight (Chorus) Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch So why, why, why, why, why Are you quick to kiss? Baby, maybe I spoke too soon I’ll touch you once you make the first move Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch, oh Snails see the benefits The beauty in every inch If you find some error in Snails Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Snails Listen again | Reviewer: AJ | 6/27/09 A friend and I have difference of opinion about this song, although we both love The Format. He does not think it's their best work, but I have to disagree. Regardless of whether Nate says it's about sex, it is not that simple. It is about falling in love with someone who is just in lust. Obviously, as it has been stated, "snails see the benefits" is metaphoric of the idea to take things slowly because they can be enjoyed for a longer period of time that way. The rest of the song points out real loyalty, how supporting one another is of the utmost importance in any relationship. That's why he alludes to his relationship with his mother and his dog. If you are a fan of The Format, you'll notice that quite a few songs mention how annoying relationships can be when there is only effort on one half. There are also a number of songs about things moving too quickly and becoming disasterous, at least emotionally. This song is one of the most perfect songs I've ever experienced. The guitar, a songwriter's true lover, is anything but slow. The whole package, lyrics and music, move very quickly while stressing patience in new relationships and longevity of existing ones that are based on these ideas. I Love Them :] | Reviewer: Ashley | 5/23/09 The Format reminds me alot of Panic! At The Disco... How both of their lyrics require alot of thought, and when you finally find out what its talking about, you realize how amazing and genius it is. I don't think any of their songs have a one and only meaning. i think they put it so people can put themselves into it.. make it fit their own feelings... Maybe? :P Don't be so quick to dismiss | Reviewer: Avalan | 1/16/09 This song could quite easily be about promiscuity; "Nico take it slow, show me that you care" I have the feeling that he is addressing Nico. Whether Nico is a cat or not doesn't matter. Maybe he named his cat after an old crush. Nonetheless, "Oh why... are you quick to kiss?" seems to mean that she is moving too fast and is somewhat easy where as he would rather take it slow; "Snails see the benefits"-In taking it slow they see the beauty in every inch. He would also rather her make the first move and be shown that there is more meaning in their kissing than just a hook up ("show me that you care"). There's alot more to this song but I just thought I throw in this bit about the promiscuity. GREAT!!! | Reviewer: G Wilhelm | 7/18/08 I'm an old fart - 43yof. I started listening to them because of my daughter and have seen them in concert w/ my daughter 5 times. They are awesome. I can't wait until they do their next album and start touring again!!!! Along with Boys Like Girls and CUTE,previous dh favorites that I liked, they are my absolute favorite!!! Although I really don't get a chance to listen to music ofter during the course of my "real life", I listen to THE Format when I can. They are a timeless band and I cant wait to hear their new stuff!!! Hope my old fart status doesn't turn anyone off that hasn't heard them before - lol :) umm helllo | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/10/08 everyone who wrote a review i believe your dumb..no one really talked about the meaning..the song is about seeing the beauty in life. snails see it cause they move slow. the rock and the girl is about death. no where is there any refrence abotu sex any idiot would know that she doesnt get it is about causual sex. what it really means | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/24/07 go to dogpile.com click on audio search for the format open search result 21 (03-The Format-Snails.mp3) in the beginning of the track he explains "It is not about girls, its about my dog" and "about promiscuous sex, but not promiscuous sex with your dog" i think it is from the western tread showcase 2005 the audio isnt very good, (though the voices in the back do disappear eventually) but hopefully it answers some questions Those Words | Reviewer: Pete | 10/12/07 Ah, the format. I love the Format, because the songs aren't just lyrics thrown into tune. You have to pay attention to the lyrics, and you will find that every song means something different. It may be confusing at first, but you have to look past that and actually listen. Great lyrics, great tune, great song. i love love. i love being in love | Reviewer: kyle | 8/4/07 Growing up in Arizona, you basically live and breathe the Format. Seriously.
