SPIDER WEB is the sixth song on Melanie's new album called "PORTALS", and was officially released on March 31st 2023. This song talks about technology addiction, and makes 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 technology. It talks about how a web is being created, and we are the bugs getting trapped in that web. Screens are very addicting, making it hard to get out of your technology phase once you're in that phase, and she talks about that with the line "Oh, no one can leave once they merge." The lyrics "The center may seem like a gift, once you arrive, it'll strip you of your life", talks about how technology may seem amazing, but it's unhealthy and you'll soon find that you're losing yourself in technology.
LYRICS spider web~~~~~~~~~ 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 would 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 One 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
