Black Widow
Last Tribe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run away and hide for life
Wouldn't save you from this deadly bride
She smells your blood from miles away
And haunt you down wherever you may hide

No one can resist her voice
Fighting back in useless
She wont listen if you pray

[Chorus]
See her eyes and you know that she won't let you go
She wants you to die she's the black widow
Her look lets you know that she won't let you go
She eats your heart out she's the black widow

A taste of death is what you get
No escape and you screaming out your pain
She smells your blood from miles away
Her hungry smile will make you go insane

No one can resist her voice
Fighting back in useless
She wont listen if you pray





[Chorus: x2]

The lyrics describe how this woman is on the hunt for blood and won't stop until she has captured her prey. She is so strong and powerful that no one can resist her voice, and even if they try to fight back, it is useless. Her victims are left screaming in pain with no chance of escape.


The Black Widow is described as having a deadly allure that draws people in and then takes their lives. Her eyes are said to be the key to her power, as they convey her hunger for blood and her determination to take her victims down. The song warns that once she has set her sights on someone, there is no getting away from her. She will track them down no matter where they try to hide.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the danger of the Black Widow, with its repetition of the phrase "She won't let you go." This phrase is both a warning to those who might come into contact with her and a statement of her power. The fact that she eats her victims' hearts adds to the ominous nature of the lyrics, suggesting that there is something deeply dark and twisted about this woman.
