This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We just had to ask
Maybe some one out of heaven
Would hear us down here
We couldn't bear to stand
How the people leave us waiting
For something up there
Oh, why did you leave?
Why won't you come?
And save us again?
Come back to us spiders
Come uncrushed my hand
Let me sent beauty rain
And bring us love again, like you can
We just didn't know
Some one there outside of heaven
Heard us down here
We couldn't stand it here
Other people leave us longing
For something up there
Oh, why did you leave?
Why won't you come?
And save us again?
[Repeat: x2]
Come back to us spiders
Come uncross my hand
Let me sent beauty rain
And bring us love again, like you can
So much time, we need to ask everything
How did it go, you need it I got it
[Repeat: x2]
Come back to us spiders
Come uncross my hand
Let me sent beauty rain
And bring us love again, like you can
Maybe some one out of heaven
Would hear us down here
We couldn't bear to stand
How the people leave us waiting
For something up there
Oh, why did you leave?
Why won't you come?
And save us again?
Come back to us spiders
Come uncrushed my hand
Let me sent beauty rain
And bring us love again, like you can
We just didn't know
Some one there outside of heaven
Heard us down here
We couldn't stand it here
Other people leave us longing
For something up there
Oh, why did you leave?
Why won't you come?
And save us again?
[Repeat: x2]
Come back to us spiders
Come uncross my hand
Let me sent beauty rain
And bring us love again, like you can
So much time, we need to ask everything
How did it go, you need it I got it
[Repeat: x2]
Come back to us spiders
Come uncross my hand
Let me sent beauty rain
And bring us love again, like you can

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
American Town

Ed Sheeran

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I believe that the Chorus may be wrong, as this song is a partial tribute to david bowie then i would suggest that the lyrics are:
"Come bact to us spiders Come on crush my hands Let piece and beauty rain And bring us love again, like you can"
These seem to be derived from the song Ziggy Stardust by bowie whic goes:
"So where were the spiders While the flies tried to break our balls just a beer light to guide us So we bitched about his fans and should we crush his sweet hands"
This is a theory but the evidence is there
That makes sense... I immagine Moby's a pretty big Bowie fan, since i'm pretty sure that he covered a Bowie song at one of his concerts.
It illudes me which, but I'm pretty sure. Besides, that theory makes more sense then anything else I can think of.
These posted lyrics are awful... please correct them.
I think the correct lyrics are here - azlyrics.com/lyrics/moby/spiders.html
Also, I'm fairly certain this is a spiritual song. We are "us spiders" and he is asking for God to come back and "let peace and beauty reign/like you can" .
I do like the thought of us being spiders... not too cozy, and seemingly worthless. It fits as a metaphor.
Just my two cents though.
Sorry, mr_e_87, but this song is, indeed, about Bowie's glam rock persona Ziggy Stardust, but I can understand your conclusion, especially if you're not so well versed in one of the greatest musicians on all time. :-P I believe that Moby made it sound like a religious song because the character of Ziggy was supposed to be an alien, a creature from the heavens, come to warn us of impending doom ("Five Years" on the ZS album). Ziggy later became a rock n' roll messiah (summed up in "Moonage Daydream"), gettting sucked up into sex, drugs, etc. Through an act of some sort of self-sacrifice, he saves us from our doom. Not only that, but maybe it's a call for Bowie to return to his earlier glam rock sound (which I'd have to agree with; later albums like Earthling aren't too good at all). The title refers to Ziggy's band, the Spiders from Mars.
And yes, the lyrics are DREADFULLY wrong. The most important change is in the chorus: "Come UNCRUSH my hands," in reference to "Ziggy Stardust."
Did you know Moby lives across the street from Bowie? Thats pretty far out man.
