Snake, taught to never break by The Boss herself, still sheds a tear over the grave of his mentor. The Boss is very important to Snake, no one else could live up to her legacy. He kills his Anger, he is then killed by his Sorrow, only to go on anyway. He eliminates his End, placing him on the path of war forever. First Snake kills his Pain, then his Fear. However, something else (unrelated) to note is that the codenames of each member in the Cobra Unit are metaphors. It is simply the name of Snakes mission and possibly correlates to how he must defeat the Cobra Unit to complete his mission. This is repeated multiple times during the song but is ironically not that important. Stopping Volgin and the war was suddenly only an afterthought, The Boss was Snakes priority. "I give my life, not for honour, but for you"īeing part of a war is a constant threat to your life, during the mission Snake risks his life to reunite with The Boss, instead of risking it for his duty or for his country. Not for honour, but for you (snake eater)Ĭrime, it's the way I fly to you (snake eater) He fears what is to come, but he is determined to keep moving onwards. Rejoining The Boss is something Snake sorely wants to do during MGS3, she was his mentor after all. Staying undetected under the dark veil of night and remaining silent is the name of the game. This is simple really, Metal Gear Solid is a stealth game. War is thrilling to Snake, even pointed out by Liquid in MGS1 towards Solid Snake - "You enjoy all the killing!" But aside from that, being dropped into a heavily guarded Russian jungle base with only a tranquillizer gun must certainly be thrilling for someone like Snake. "With darkness and silence through the night" I advise you to listen to the whole song before proceeding. The song is written by Norihiko Hibino, with vocals from Cynthia Harrell, who also sang "I Am The Wind" from Castlevania: Symphony of The Night. It was stated to be inspired by James Bond, but it's okay if you somehow don't hear the similarities. It's also literally in the name of the game. Snake Eater is an important song in Metal Gear Solid 3, playing during the final boss fight and during the intro. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater - ''Snake Eater'' Lyrics
