what about the fact that the song is called spider song. and spiders typically do what? weave webs,... and also? the male will have sex with a female and then get his head eaten off. So max weaves his web, gets the girl, butwants nothing more to do with her to eliminate the chance of getting hurt(head eaten/broken up with in a relationship/fear of commitment). simple-yet true read my comment on belt and you'll understand why
@santeria122232 I know this is LITERALLY a decade later, but I happen to just be reading this now, and I thought I'd add a point to your comment, which I thought was pretty insightful, if I do say so myself.
I think another comment Max was trying to make, whether it was intentional or not, about "being" a spider, is that they're parasites. (When threatened) they'll inject you with venom (poison? IDK for sure...), leaving their prey with a "present" so to speak that remains with them after the spider is gone, while the spider can go on living their lives...

I also think that what they catch in their webs, they eat, again like predators with prey.
So I the overarching point I'm making is that he's not necessarily writing from the viewpoint of the other person being an equal/peer, AKA another spider, but COULD be writing from the viewpoint of a predator, an enemy, the one with the upper hand and more power and control over the situation and over the other person. He's very likely seeing himself as almost evil, or at least negatively viewing himself, in comparison to whomever he'd be sleeping with, and I definitely believe that this is something that should be considered equally or, rather, at the same time as your point. Both I think are ultimately valid and compelling, and I think they all stem from the same concept. I really like what you were saying, Santeria, and I think they both are true in equal measures. Yes, they kinda countermand each other, but it's not impossible that both are what he intended/meant.
Okay, I'm done. Sorry for the novella. I'm avoiding taking an online exam for my college course, so I think I subconsciously was doing just that for as long as possible. Anyway, I'll bug off now. Thanks for reading!
