Freedom1, I have to say that I am in agreement with a lot of what you said about hide, especially considering that--yes--hide is the Pinkuu Supaiida in his song.
My understanding of the translated lyrics is this: The Pink Spider asks the butterfly how he can leave his web, because he feels so trapped in his world, and the butterfly replies that he must find wings if he wants to fly away. In return, the spider asks the butterfly for wings/states that he wants to kill the butterfly for his wings. He explains that everything comes to him while he is master of his web (inferred, I suppose, food and such) and yet, even the god of his domain, he is lonely and wants his freedom.
I'm sorry, I don't recall the rest; it was a long time ago that I researched this song. But to me, considering that hide was very literally on top of Japan when he died--the charismatic lead guitarist of X JAPAN as well as an adored solo performer--he as the Pink Spider most certainly had everything available to him, right in the palm of his hand. But was he truly happy with that life? Did he really wish to be free, seeing it all as nothing in comparison to some secret desire that he saw as unreachable?
A spider without wings cannot fly. Considering the turn of his solo endeavors ("Hurry Go Round", "Good Bye", etc.), it makes you wonder if--even if his shocking death was basically unintentional at the time--the Pink Spider had determined to find some "wings" at some future point with which to fly away from everything and become freed, finally, permanently, from his gaudy web.
