Wight Spider Lyrics

Lyric discussion by marilyninchnails 

Cover art for Wight Spider lyrics by Marilyn Manson

i know that the lyrics are printed in the booklet as "smother the past in a cocoon, or me" but every time i hear it i swear he says "for" and not "or"- and "for" makes so much more sense to me in this song- this whole song is about having power and influence over someone else, so it would only make sense that the person smothers the past in a cocoon FOR HIM, not the past OR him- Manson in this song is the puppet master holding the strings, he can't be in a position where he could be smothered by the person he is controlling. the refrain about possession is a psychological possession of her, the ability to hold power and influence over her. like i said, i know it's printed in the booklet, but when i listen i hear "for". anyone else?

My Interpretation

Definitely I read the lyrics and then went back and listened to the song and he is fairly clearly saying "for me" not "or me" but I absolutely love this song it's probably my favorite from this album
