I am aware of this. I'm not suggesting that the snail is necessarily transfixed.

And yet the word has always carried a dual meaning, with the sense of a spur or spine foremost. This is the meaning of the Old English Thorn and the German Dorn that is its cognate. And as you say, it is synechdoche because the thornbush bears thorns. The spiky thorn(bush) and the mucilaginous snail are an odd and suiggestive pairing.

Anyway, I think there is an implied possibility of violence under Pippa's inncoent (or all-too-knowing?) song.
