Spiders Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Buchert

This is a very nice song. And I'm sure you guys are right that it's about someone passing away but I can't really understand the metaphores (if that's what it is) in the song. The only way I can see it's about someone passing away is the "Hold out your hand, or we'll carry you" part and the chorus aswell.

First verse for example.. what is it with these spiders?
