Spider Eyes
Hundred Hands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Hundred Hands' song Spider Eyes are open to interpretation, but they seem to express the idea that we are all interconnected in some way, like the strands of a spider's web. The spider is portrayed as a symbol of resilience and strength, singing its song despite its small size. We are all like pawns, moving through life under the control of some mysterious force, holding on to our homes with the fragile webs we spin.
The "stories told" in the past might refer to the false narratives that we have been fed throughout history, leading us to believe that certain groups or individuals are superior while others are inferior, and encouraging us to compete with one another rather than working together for the common good. Despite these lies, the singer of the song invites the listener to "grab onto my hand" and join them on a journey of discovery.
The line "way down, my eyes are so wide" could suggest a sense of awe or wonder at the complexity of the world around us, or perhaps a recognition of the challenges we face as we try to navigate our way through life.
