steelearth and jaded... little right but very wrong.
Firstly, 'wight' comes from the old english word - 'wicht', which means a supernatural entity (pointed out earlier as a ghost in this case... no the people dancing behind cloths in arma-goddamn etc etc video is no coincidence)... but yeah.. ghost/shadowy remnant/poor reflection of former self. Basically reflected in the end of the song
'we can't haunt this home
home anymore
no no no no no'
Secondly, 'Wicht' translates in low german to 'girl'. Which is the other dimension of the song and throughout the whole album - the entrapment of relationships, the ability of women to lure and thn consume their partner... hence 'spider' and majority of the lyrics. if you think im wrong, check Mansons artwork, as he has a painting of a spider with a females head.
'smother the past in a cocoon for me'. 'wrap my claws round your mouth tight. we'll consume eachother..etc'
Basically, whilst it is about love/obsession and what not. In lamens terms, he is saying it is fake and the girl is just going to f*ck you over. Hence the first few lines 'ill build you a shiny dollhouse or church'... already said in the 2nd comment.
Other thing to note about the album is the concept of dichotomy. (the HIGH end of LOW, blue/good with the evil/red halo on the cover, lyrically in almost every song). 'ill keep you wet when the world is dry' 'possess you but i dont need you to be another one of my posessions'. He has said in intrviews the album is about finding his place/happiness after falling from grace/breakup - consistent with his lucifer comparisons in AS. He has also said all songs are in order of which they were written and express his emotional rollercoaster as a 'diary'. Compare the last lines of devour 'and ill love you if you wont make me stop' to the last lines of the album 'not letting you win wont satisfy me, ill teach you about loss'
