Spider
Beau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Silken spittle tracing out a net
So delicate and yet
In this perfection
Here lies death.
And so she labours on and on,
Wavering a second here and there
As countless years have led
Her to.
And so she will, continuing
Her life's endeavours beauty bound to death,
That she might take her breath
'Til nature takes
The net away.
In Beau's song "Spider," the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a spider's life cycle and how her pursuit of perfection leads to her ultimate demise. The first verse describes the spider weaving her web with "perfect line" and "silken spittle," resulting in a delicate yet deadly trap for prey. The second verse highlights the spider's constant labor and dedication to making repairs on her web, which has been shaped by countless years of evolution. Finally, the third verse acknowledges that the spider's life is limited, despite her endless effort to create something beautiful. Nature will ultimately take away the spider's web and her life with it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Spider" serve as a metaphor for the human experience. We strive for perfection in our personal and professional lives, dedicating ourselves to our goals, but ultimately we are subject to the same cycle of life and death as the spider. The song reminds us to appreciate the beauty and impermanence of our existence, to make the most of the time we have, and to find a balance between our pursuit of perfection and our acceptance of mortality.
