勘違いしてた 僕のすべては綱渡り
自分だけが うまくいくそう信じきって
キミの糸に 絡められてもう逃げられなくなった
そうキミは Spider 僕を誘って そうキミは Spider
勘違いしてた 僕のすべては綱渡り
自分だけが うまくいくそう信じきって
恋の毒に 気づかないフリをしてきてただけ
そうキミは Spider 僕を誘って そうキミは Spider
何も感じない それがあまりに当たり前で
勘違いしてた 僕のすべては綱渡り
自分だけが うまくいくそう信じきって
キミの糸に 絡められてもう逃げられなくなった
そうキミは Spider 僕を誘って そうキミは Spider
そうキミは Spider
The lyrics of Capsule's song "Spider" convey the feeling of being trapped in a destructive cycle of love. The singer feels numb and does not realize that his life is constantly at risk, as if he were constantly walking on a tightrope. He believed that he was the only one who could succeed and be happy, but he was wrong. The singer is lured into the spider's web of love by the object of his affection without even realizing it. The repeated line "So you are a spider" emphasizes the control his lover has over him and sets the tone for the song as a lament of a love gone wrong.
The theme of the song is the idea of being trapped in a web of love, feeling helpless to escape, and attempting to deny the poison of love until it's too late. The lyrics also suggest that this is not the first time that the singer has been in such a situation. The use of repetition and the simple, almost lullaby-like tone of the melody contribute to the feeling of inevitability and the lack of agency in this situation. The listener cannot help but be pulled into the same emotional cycle as the singer.
