There's just one problem with Ghostlights interpretation- if its written from the POV of a man, he would't refer to "its symphony
echoes in my womb".
using the Shroud of Laertes metaphor, I think the song relates to a woman, possibly pregnant, or with a child, stuck at home with nothing to do and ina relationship where the man has taken complete control of her life to the extent that she has no friends and no interests.
She's lost her confidence, and remains alone in her apartment not knowing what to do- so she is trapped in a web.
as the song goes on, shes saying that she knows that changing this situation is her responsibility and she's thought about making the move and hasn't yet,. But now she realises it is time to lose her fears and go on out into the world again.
So she finally leaves the house and him behind even though she' s sad at the end of things, she realises that she has overcome her fears and broken free of the web she was trapped in.

This is a fantastic song.
