Look Like That

Sneaks' song "Look Like That" delves into the themes of identity and perception, exploring how individuals are often defined by superficial appearances. The repetitive questioning of "What do they look like?" followed by the answer "They look like that" suggests a critique of how society tends to categorize people based on their outward looks without delving deeper into their true essence. This repetition emphasizes the superficiality and redundancy of such judgments, highlighting a societal tendency to overlook the complexities of individual identity.

The lyrics also introduce intriguing metaphors, such as "Their soles/souls in their feet" and "They’re chewing on your bark." These lines suggest a duality between the physical and the spiritual, hinting at the idea that one's true self (soul) is often hidden beneath the surface (soles). The imagery of "chewing on your bark" could symbolize how people consume or judge others based on their external attributes, much like how bark is the outer layer of a tree.

The song further explores the theme of division and unity with the lines "Se-se-separate / Yeah we divide, yeah we divide in two." This division could represent the societal tendency to categorize and separate individuals based on appearances. However, the artist counters this division with the line "But I break that trying right now / And I tango over to you," suggesting a desire to overcome superficial barriers and connect on a deeper level. The use of the word "tango" implies a dance of connection and understanding, emphasizing the importance of looking beyond appearances to truly understand and connect with others.
