“We don’t just stop at the snake. This is just what everybody sees right now,” she tells the publication. She adds, “Renewal and rebirth are the album’s concept.” Megan says the project’s inspiration comes from her love of reptiles and notes that people often misjudge them. “We started with the snake because, first of all, I love snakes, but I feel like snakes are so misunderstood, especially in western culture.” She continues: “Snakes represent rebirth, spirituality. I’m not really a person that’s like, ‘Oh my God, sunshine and just super bubbly, happy.’”
