Cover art for Spiders And Flies lyrics by Mercury Rev

The color of your eyes got changed, the mirror of your soul grew dark, and i can't remember what they were reflecting in the beauty of the seasons. All these future plans and impossible dreams only make you gloomier.

Think about those pharoahs, those kings and queens, dead and buried, who would gladly give their gold and glory for a chance to live once more. I naively believed that loving you was enough to make you happy, but it seems that the pain is way deeper, that psalms and prayers won't change it.

The fly will sooner or later be ensnared by the spider. One dies and one lives. But has it ever keep her from flying? Look at them, how they seem to accept the life they inherited. The spider won't ever stop spinning her web, the fly won't ever cease flying. In front of death, they won't refrain from living.

The spider is not safe from accidents, and two legs are quickly lost. But has it ever keep her from walking? You, you do lost nothing, you're only looking for things you can't get, and you make yourself in despair. But see how we only need few things to live. And ask yourself what are the reasons for the color of your eyes.
