I have to admit, my interpretation is closest to granola brink's. It makes me think of Aragog in the first Harry Potter book.
Spiders are "treacherous friends", they eat harmful bugs, but they are dangerous (and icky) at the same time.
Stanza one: the singer is new to town, looking for a place to sit for lunch
someone sits next to him and gives him cryptic advice
Stanza two: his children are spiders (arachna-kids is such a cool phrase), and he wants to teach them how "not to be saved" This is backwards, because you want to save your children, don't you?
Stanza three: what will the fate of his spider children be?
