Snakes are associated with some of humanity's oldest rituals and represent dual expressions of good and evil. Anthropologist Lynn Isbell has argued that the snake is ingrained in our subconscious as a symbol of death in primates because of our evolutionary history. Isbell argues that snakes were the only significant primate predators for millions of years and that this explains why fear of snakes is one of the most common phobias worldwide and why the symbol of the snake is so prevalent in world mythology; the snake is an innate image for danger and death.
Lami mixes the symbolism of the snake with that of the $ (dollar) and talks about how money leads us into a world that is in a gray area where good and evil can be confused.
