Spider
Oblivion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The forest, the forest, the forest is full
Of spiders, of spiders, of spiders yeah
The forest, the forest, the forest is full
Of spiders, of spiders, of spiders yeah

Appearing cloaked in anonymity
From the canopies, all grinning down at me
Their blistering whispering
Keeps drawing near
Whispering sinister
Lies in my ear

The hour the hour the hour is late
Start to run, start to run, run run run

They're crawling down
Quiet as the sound
Of sprinkling needles
On frozen ground

You will not see them
But you will feel them
They'll drain you
Well before you realize it

And when your heart stops, it won't be enough
When rigor mortis sets, it won't be enough
Your soul is long gone, it won't be enough
It's never enough for them

When your heart stops
It's not enough
When rigor mortis sets
It's not enough
Your soul is long gone
It's not enough
It's never enough for them

When your heart stops
It's not enough
When rigor mortis sets
It's not enough
Your soul is long gone




It's not enough
It's never enough for them

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Spider" by Oblivion depict a haunting and sinister presence that resides within a dense forest. The repetition of the line "The forest is full of spiders" emphasizes the overwhelming nature of these creatures and the sense of unease they bring. The spiders are personified as malevolent beings, appearing cloaked in anonymity and grinning down from the canopies.


The blistering whispering of the spiders creates a chilling atmosphere, with their sinister lies being whispered in the singer's ear. This suggests a manipulative and predatory nature. The hour being late signifies a sense of urgency and danger approaching, prompting the singer to start running. As the spiders crawl down quietly, their movements are compared to the sound of sprinkling needles on frozen ground, adding a chilling image to the scene.


The lyrics further explore the insidious nature of these spiders. The singer is warned that they are not easily seen but will certainly be felt. They drain the life force of their victims without them even realizing it. The repetition of the phrase "It's never enough for them" suggests that the spiders have a constant hunger and thirst for more, never satisfied with their prey's demise.


The concluding lines of the song intensify the sinister tone. The repeated refrain of "It's not enough" emphasizes the spiders' insatiable appetite. Even in death, with the singer's heart stopping and rigor mortis setting in, it is still not enough for the spiders. Their control extends beyond the physical realm, as they have already claimed the victim's soul long before their demise.


Overall, the lyrics of "Spider" evoke a foreboding and chilling atmosphere as they paint a picture of relentless predators lurking in the depths of the forest. The song serves as a metaphor for the manipulative nature of certain individuals or forces in our lives, draining us emotionally and spiritually, leaving us feeling depleted and insignificant in their insatiable quest for control.

"Oh no! I'm paralyzed and totally defenseless now! It would be a shame if some super hot spider daedra would dominate me right at this moment!"

"This thing's facial and upper body features are more pleasing to look at than any other female in the game" Yeah, I kinda noticed that, too.

Well, this enemy isn't bound by the rules of the character creator, so...
