About This Track

'SNail' by BENEE is a 2020 alternative track from the album 'Hey u x'. The lyrics circle around restlessness and frustration, pressing for honesty and time well spent, with a direct plea to leave the inside world and join “outside”. The repeated lines about not being able to speak their mind add a stuck, self-censoring tension, even as the narrator insists everything is fine. It feels like a quiet argument conducted through impatience, where the desire to connect keeps getting blocked.

"Snail" is a single by BENEE, from the album Hey u x, released 13th November 2020. The track is 3:09 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 10 articles about BENEE.

Lyrics

Snail

Wonder why you stay inside
I can't talk, can't speak my mind
Why you wanna waste your time
Why don't you join me outside?

Everything is good, everything is fine
Thought I'd let you know, having a great time
Wonder why you stay inside
I can't talk, can't speak my mind

I'm like a snail, you're a guy, kinda mad, I can't fly
When it's day, hideaway, but come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy, kinda mad, I can't fly
When it's day, hideaway, but come out when it rains
When it rains

When it rains
When it rains
When it rains

As I wake, down goes day
Out comes night, look alive
And I'll meet you in the park
The moon will light up my path

Everything's passing by
I ride to you on my bike
While everyone is asleep
Meet at the top of your street

I'm like a snail, you're a guy, kinda mad, I can't fly
When it's day, hideaway, but come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy, kinda mad, I can't fly
When it's day, hideaway, but come out when it rains
When it rains

When it rains
When it rains
When it rains

When it rains
When it rains
When it rains

I'm like a snail, you're a guy, kinda mad, I can't fly
When it's day, hideaway, but come out when it rains
Like a snail, you're a guy, kinda mad, I can't fly
When it's day, hideaway, but come out when it rains
When it rains
