Pulling together the biblical sound and isolation of the bygone days of revelation with an atmosphere filled with hope and salvation, King Dude has woven his own brand of American music. He brandishes many varied influences in his songwriting. Everything from British Folk, Americana, Country and Blues can be heard in his songs. Even the heavier sounds of Heavy Metal tend to sneak and slither it's way into the King Dude canon. The resulting songs are much more of a modern day hymn then average pop song.
Spiders in Her Hair
King Dude Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blacker than the blood
Running through the devil's soiled veins
Until I met a girl
Not quite of this world
No she was born in a fiery lake
There are spiders in her hair
My heart beat thunders like a drum
She is close
I'm in love with a ghost
Her skin's as pale, as the day is white
Her hair is blacker than the blackest night
And when she speaks whoa ho
All children weep
And when she sings Lord Death will come and reap
There are spiders in her hair
Her skin it crawls with them everywhere whoa ho
My heart beat thunders like a drum
She is close
I'm in love with a ghost
There are spiders in her hair
Her skin it crawls with them everywhere whoa ho
My heart beat thunders like a drum
She is close
I'm in love with a ghost
I'm in love with a ghost
I'm in love with a ghost

He begins the song by expressing his self-assumed darkness, stating that he thought he was blacker than the blood running through the devil's soiled veins. However, he met a girl who showed him otherwise - she was born in a fiery lake, making her even darker and more otherworldly than he ever thought himself to be.
The singer describes the girl's appearance as being both haunting and alluring. Her skin crawls with spiders, yet it is as pale as the whitest day.

Overall, "Spiders in Her Hair" is a love song with a dark twist. The singer is infatuated with a ghostly girl, despite her frightening appearance and haunting voice.

I always thought I was

Blacker than the blood
Darker or more evil than the blood

But that perception changed when I encountered a girl
Not quite of this world
Who wasn't entirely from the human world
No she was born in a fiery lake
Rather, she emerged from a lake of fire at birth

All children weep
All children cry uncontrollably
And when she sings Lord Death will come and reap
And when she sings, death will soon follow
There are spiders in her hair
There are actual spiders living in her hair
Her skin it crawls with them everywhere whoa ho
Spiders can be found all over her body, causing discomfort and fear
My heart beat thunders like a drum
My heart beats loudly and quickly, like the sound of a drum
She is close
She is near or in my presence
I'm in love with a ghost
I am emotionally attached or in love with a ghostly being

I know all the lyrical sites say ghost, but to me it sounds like he's singing corpse -- and I think it fits the lyrics a little better (and its creepier!)

I can't decide which one of his songs is my favorite. But this version of this song is freaking amazing!

I think both versions are amazing. King Dude truly is a master.
Wolfgang Bauer
this version is much much better than the original version!
Jin Kazumi
This song is amazing.
Jason Nosaj
I like this version better because it gives the song a western twist.

let's see how long it'll take for humanity to distinguish between 'different' to 'better' and 'I like it better' to 'is better'.

Its good, just you forgot that subjective better is not actually better. Its just better too you. Which might not be true for others. Hence I do not think "Better" will ever take over for the word "Different".
