Caught in a Web Lyrics

Silence disguised
I watch you
Show me the hurt
that haunts you
would you despise the thrill
If all you hide were mine?

I can't hold on any longer
These feelings keep growing stronger
Echoes that deafen the mind
will bury my voice in their wake

Caught in a Web
Removed from the world
Hanging on by a thread
Spinning the lies
devised in my head
I've seen the path
the one you take
shows the truth
for you to make
This turn of phrase
we might not see
is the thirst of desire
found so easily

Try to push me 'round
the world some more
And make me live in fear
I bare all that I am
made of now
Attractive I don't care
'Cause even when I danced with life
no one was there to share

Does this voice the wounds of your soul?

Caught in a Web
Removed from the world
Hanging on by a thread
Spinning the lies
devised in my head

Tried to live the life
you live and saw
It doesn't work for me
I bare all that I am
made of now
Attractive, I can't be
Inside the Dance of Life is one
I'll never hold to me

You can't heal the wounds of my soul.

Caught in a Web
Removed from the world
Hanging on by a thread
Spinning the lies
devised in my head

Caught in a Web
Refused by the world
Hanging on by a thread
Spinning a cage
Denied and misread

Quote by James LaBrie:

"... a person that's... it's not male or female, it could be either. And it's dealing with a person who has suppressed their feelings for so long and has finally had enough of it and feels that the only way that they can really live life to it's fullest is to live from the inside out. And that's basically what this person has come to terms with. And they're sick of society inducements and they feel the only way that they can go on with life is to live it the way they feel is the truth..."

Agreed with LaBrie there.

The best songs are ambiguous.

Somebody who is feeling trapped by the confines of society and the world around them. According to James LaBrie, the person in the song has decided that they've had enough with trends and fads and popular culture, and that this person is completely in need of expressing his or her differences with the rest of the world. The differences between this person and the others could be small, or it could be vast. It sounds like this person has spun his or her own web.

My Interpretation

Anyone here ever met a guy called Ramthar? Well you should know something Ramtharlikesguys

It's also about Hallucinagenic drugs, my guess would be either DMT the Web being a common thing you get on DMT and it's can be like another world as one person said the "Sprit world"
