guns n' roses//what is serpantine?

okay,I was listening to ‘welcome to the jungle’ by guns n’ roses and I heard axl sing ‘my,my serpantine’.

what exactly is serpantine and what is the signifiance of it to this song?

I figure given the context of the song it must be something addctive or deadly either one..

anyways,help me please!

Answer #1

from the content of the lyrics- “serpantine” appears to be a phallic reference.

“welcome to the jungle- feel my, my, my serpantine- I, I want to hear you scream”

a jungle serpant ( snake) -python.

definitely an “ego engorged” phallic reference.

Answer #2

Serpantine is a Rock!!

Answer #3

I love it!

Answer #4

:-)

Answer #5

I agree with baldwinwolf…normally it would be a snake but in the song he’s definately talking about his “genitals”. I went to a Guns N’ Roses concert when I was younger and if you watch Axl you can definately tell that’s what he’s referring to…especially when he grabs himself as he’s singing those lyrics :)
