The Spiders metaphor is fairly straight forward. The clue to it comes from "It's Better Unknown" at the end. Spiders are like rats, you're always within close proximity of tem but a lot of the time we're oblivious to them. It's one thing to feel comfortable and safe, it's another to acknowledge whats around you. He then goes on to provide further examples of this. "There are people to be fooled, but there always has been", comments probably about some people attitude to the Iraq wat and how so many were quite happy to have the wool pulled over their eyes. How it's easy to feel protected but sometimes we must face the truth that the situation we're in is a frightening one.
