Melanie Martinez - SPIDER WEB (Official Audio) 

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

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

“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.

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

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

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

SPIDER WEB LOVER 𓆇🕸𓆸𓆇🕸𓆸

I scared all the spiders away with my singing

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

She can’t make a bad song ❤️ she’s just truly amazing!

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

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 THRIVE for this new era of Melanie, and to think she's the same artist from my childhood that was so fun listening to, and seeing her grow and trying new things is just magnificent.

You know the music video gonna be good if the music is good Damn my phone blowing up but I don’t mind! Stan Melanie Martinez guys!😍

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' :)

SPIDER WEB makes my brain so satisfied. It sounds so beautiful and majestic, but the meaning is still so deep and relatable. In this song, Melanie sings about what it’s like to be addicted to the internet. She sings about how toxics the internet is, hence the lines “I’m hiding myself from the enemy, I wish to not be perceived”. Melanie compares the toxic people who are addicted to the internet to a spider who traps people inside the web of the internet. Can’t wait to learn the choreography for this one!! 🕸️🕷️

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

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. 🩷💜🖤✨🍄🧚‍♀️🌱

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.

“Feeding off our highs and lows, and curious to see us struggle.” That hit me hard

This has to be my favorite song from the album Especially this part: 0:43

Lets take a moment to appreciate that our queen Melanie worked on this for 4 years straight wonderful job. Melanie you make me love myself and I even kept my gap in my teeth I’m not ashamed of it anymore I feel like I can be myself and just block out what others say thanks girl ❤

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*

It’s a song about internet addiction and how it’s fun, however, it can destroy someone’s identity, and mental health. It can be a escape, but it can make you worse than when you came in. It looks interesting, but once your stuck you can never leave. The “web” is literally and metaphorically a analogy for the internet and it’s creepiest corners that no one should be able to tread.

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

Melanie is really a different kind of artist. Her songs are really meaningful and also pleasant and addictive to my ears.

people dislike this? man they are missing out on this masterpiece!

Why does the background music give me plans v. zombies vibes? This is my absolute favorite song of the album. Melanie truly is an inspiration ❤

Dios , porque todas las canciones de Melanie son tan bellas .

Melanie is so unproblematic and such a great artist I LOVE HERR

The coqui frogs singing at the end makes me so happy 2:47

I’m actually going to cry, I’ve been listening to Melanie since day 1. She’s always been there for me and seeing her grow is amazing. Her music is beautiful and her voice is angelic. I love this new album sm 💗

I love the way Melanie has developed since the start of her music carreer, and she still has never put out bad music! ❤

I literally love this woman so much (not in a weird way or anything). She has grown so much and her voice sounds so much richer and fuller than from the dollhouse or crybaby eras. Her music is amazing and portals is an ABSOLUTE masterpiece. All her albums are. She is so sweet and is so creative

I love her all her albums connect to each other like a literal puzzle. Every song from her albums is so special with their meanings, she is such a genius!

This is already one of my favs, Melanie has done an outstanding job where is her Grammy

0:38 this part makes my head spin😙

Me listening to this song for the first time thinking it was actually about a spider web:

At first glance i didnt see the appeal of the album, but recently i was reminded of melanie again and i listened to all the songs, and its growing on me really bad 😭 so sad how this album is so underrated

I found this song so soothing and i loved the detail at the end where you can hear the coqui's chirping in the forest.

Melanie é o significado de arte, que orgulho de dizer que estou nessa nova era🥺

Por la parte "Girar toda tu seda y mover tus ocho patas para construir una red, que se extenderá por el mundo" es como si nunca pudieras dejar de luchar hasta que termines. es tan hermoso❤️
