Some corrections... at least, this is how it sounds to me, and the people at idiotfan.com agree with me :P

And to the dance she ran Red flowers in her hand She'd heard that they were caught in the web Caught in the thick of it

We know there's spiders down there (SO COME ON DOWN) And when it's night time they come up for air We know you're hiding somewhere (SO COME ON OUT) But now it's night time, there's nothing to fear

We'll turn down the lights in the hall to get you out The disco ball is spinning around We'll dance to the bass when it comes in loud This is the place to be, you should be proud


Very interesting correlations there. At first glance, it's about a huge nighttime party, some kind of rave or something, maybe just a high school dance or something of the sort, but what's with all the spiders?

The spiders could represent just about anything. Something evil, that comes out at night to prey on unsuspecting girls who run right into their webs. Or just good dancers who seem to have a million limbs cause they move so fast.

The red flowers symbolize passion, romance, love.

You know what I think? It's about giving up your virginity on prom night. And when you think of it that way, the song seems so much more powerful.
