Dang I had wished someone would have commented on this song by now.
I don't really understand but as far as I can see is that the spider webs are what clouds Rays mind now that he can see and doesn't sing anymore. He wished for sight but the spider webs took away his ability to write and sings songs. Now that he can see he spends all his time on the couch (watching MTV).
I just don't understand what exactly the spider webs represent.
We all have things about ourselves that we would like to change. Osborne is asserting that it's not that simple, because the things that you consider your weaknesses or handicaps may ultimately be connected to your strengths. She uses Ray Charles as an example of this. If he had been able to see, he might have done something else with his life instead of becoming a musician. (When he gets his eyesight, his voice deserts him.)

The "spider web" is a metaphor for how all the different facets of yourself are connected to each other. It makes no sense to simply wish for one thing about yourself to be different, because everything you like about yourself is connected to it. (So when you gain, you just might lose.)

Anybody else with some helpful input please?
Okay, I'll take a shot at this.
