Dive into the eerie world Slipknot crafts with their haunting lyrics and intense soundscapes. "Spiders" seems to explore themes of isolation, secrecy, and the internal struggle we all face. The recurring imagery of spiders coming "side by side" suggests an inevitable confrontation with our fears and anxieties. The lines about burning books and pulling stitches tight hint at the futility of trying to hide from or control these inner demons. Ultimately, the song questions who will be consumed by their own fears ("food") and who will manage to survive ("thrown away"). It's a powerful reminder that everyone grapples with their own mental battles, often feeling trapped in webs of their own making.
Spiders
Lyrics
Well you can go it alone
Or keep it in between
The pages of the books you burn
So no one gets to read
The fingers pull your stitches tight
But knowing someone's secret is not enough
Everyone's a little bit a lot of the time
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
When now is not the time
Tomorrow disagrees
But your real world isn't ready to face
The face behind the real me
Time to think it over
I'm over trying to overthink
I've had enough, huh
Everybody's limited to what's on their mind
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
(Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders)
(Spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders)
Make yourself a martyr's pet
And watch them all escape (spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders)
Make yourself at home instead (spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders)
You'll lose your toxic waste (spiders, spiders, spiders, spiders)
Go it alone
Suffer for your feelings, I'm not enough (no, no, no)
But everyone's a little bitter all of the time
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
The spiders come in side by side
Two by two and night by night
Who is food and who is thrown away?
