Melanie Martinez - SPIDER WEB (Official Audio)

There's nothing better than watching a childhood artist grow into a new self every album

Lyrics (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠) I move like a moth or a butterfly Craving a change in the wind I swirl by all the insects and all the flies Watching the cycle they're in Better off dead than wasting my hours Flying where I shouldn't be Flexing like pricks with their stolen power They're just who the spider will eat Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge I'm hiding myself from the enemy I wish to not be perceived Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility I'm feeling too scared to sleep Better off dead than stuck in a maze The center may seem like a gift Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life And you'll wish that you never did Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Big bite, they liquefy the insides first Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web Up all night, bound to their addiction to it Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web

the part where she says "oh, no one can leave once they merge" and then there's a beat that affects my brain chemistry, I LOVE IT

This song is about the servile behaviors of people on the internet, using clever metaphors such as a spider web, indicating the world wide web, or the line "Watching the cycle they're in", indicating people who spend excessive amounts of time on their phone and other technology. It delves deeper into the Internet's obsession with drama and following creators to see their downfall, as well as the inability to leave the Internet once you are in the spotlight. It was written for social media's chokehold of society.

I feel like the ‘I wish not to be perceived’ line, along with her new look (that completely covers up her real face and body), and the removal of all her old posts on social media are all connected. She’s taking back herself and keeping it private, and I really appreciate that. The constant spotlight and judgement that was put on her and the lack of privacy must’ve been difficult to deal with

I dunno how people didn’t like this one the harmonies of this entire album are amazing and scratch my brain so perfectly

“Better off dead than stuck in a maze, the centre may seem like a gift. Once you arrive it’ll strip you of your life, and you’ll wish that you never did.” Is such a great line. That’s something I love about Melanie, one simple line can have so much depth and meaning to it.

For people who dont understand: Spider web is about 'people who are addicted to the internet and making people watch them or do something on there web to get addicted to it too, so the internet will take over the world' :)

LYRICS ! ! ! I move like a moth or a butterfly Craving a change in the wind I swirl by all the insects and all the flies Watching the cycle they're in Better off dead than wastin' my hours Flying where I shouldn't be Flexing like pricks with their stolen power They're just who the spider will eat Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no onе can leave once thеy merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge I'm hiding myself from the enemy I wish to not be perceived Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility I'm feeling too scared to sleep Better off dead than stuck in a maze The center may seem like a gift Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life And you'll wish that you never did Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Big bite, they liquify the insides first Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web Up all night, bound to their addiction to it Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web

100% MELANIE 100% VOCALS 100% PORTALS 100% VISUALS 100% ALBUM 100% SEROTONIN

I feel like this song is about her experience as a famous person. She’s thinking about spiders and webs, which could be a metaphor for the World Wide Web. I think she’s thinking about how she really wanted to be discovered and worked really hard to get her self all over the web but then she realized that she didn’t want to be out there like that anymore and that it was dangerous. She wishes that she could undo it, but she can’t really do anything about it since she’s all over the web now. That could be why her new outfit completely covers up her body and makes her look like a new person because that’s the best that she could do to still do what she loves, and not be as “visible” and out there.

The fact that she put a coqui (puerto rican native frog) sound at the end it’s beautiful we love our puerto rican/dominican queen

The fact that I have Arachnophobia and I am scared of spiders,this is actually my favorite song and I was so excited to hear the entire thing. 🩷💜🖤✨🍄🧚‍♀️🌱

Hands down one of my favorites from the album. The beat is so catchy and it’s addicting already.

Why are all the comments on portals about growing up? Her aesthetic has litteraly always giving this “bizarre” vibe literally all we’re missing is the split dye

I move like a moth or a butterfly Craving a change in the wind I swirl by all the insects and all the flies Watching the cycle they're in Better off dead than wasting my hours Flying where I shouldn't be Flexing like pricks with their stolen power They're just who the spider will eat Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge I'm hiding myself from the enemy I wish to not be perceived Didn't ask for this dangerous visibility I'm feeling too scared to sleep Better off dead than stuck in a maze The center may seem like a gift Once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life And you'll wish that you never did Spinning all your silk and moving all of your eight legs To build a web that'll spread through the world Feeding off our highs and lows And curious to see us struggle No one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Oh, no one can leave once they merge Big bite, they liquefy the insides first Then wrap them tight, securing their spot in the spider web Up all night, bound to their addiction to it Lifeless eyes, they die in the pit of the spider web
