Spiders
System Of A Down (s.o.a.d) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The piercing radiant moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,

Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,

Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,

The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,

Through my head,
Before you know, Awake

Through my head,
Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,





Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.

Overall Meaning

The spider is traditionally considered the creator of traps and a predator. Here, it becomes a symbol of entrapment, where the dreams that are made are winding through the singer's head. The V-chip is spoken of as a force that gives sight to lives, thus being a sort of guiding light. The lyrics mention how it completely opens up people's lives, giving them an understanding of the world they live in.


Overall, the song is about the potential that a guiding light has to open up new avenues and connect people with deeper levels of understanding. The dream-like quality of the lyrics added to the hypnotic melody enhances the effect of the meaning.

Before you know
Before you know I will be waiting, all awake

"Words Are Spells"

Let's examine the word "words"... rearrange the letters to make "sword"... Words can cut like a sword... Not physically, but mentally/ spiritually...
Using words in a certain sequence can be phenomenal, given the structure is perfect, and the timing of mood with whom you're conversing with...

I. E.
Ever been with a new date, and you were both conversing, and things "clicked" between you both?


...Words........... One of the most dangerous tools known to man...
I. E.
School shootings from bullying...

Lyrics Spiders - System Of A Down

The piercing radiant moon
The storming of poor June
All the life running through her hair
Approaching guiding light
Our shallow years in fright
Dreams are made winding through my head

Through my head
Before you know, awake

Your lives are open wide
The V-chip gives them sight
All the life running through her hair
The spiders all in tune
The evening of the moon
Dreams are made winding through my head

Through my head
Before you know, awake

Through my head
Through my head
Before you know
Before you know I will be waiting, all awake

Dreams are made winding through her hair
Dreams are made winding through her hair
