Great one off the new album!
What I'm hearing is a warning against the inherent dangers and temptations of getting involved in social media posts, news and comments. The spider's web can easily enough be taken to mean the internet as a breeding ground for misguided opinions and sinister intentions. Within the context of when this song/album was written, it seems to be Issac's very poetic reflection on how sites like Twitter, FB, IG, etc are breeding grounds for trolls, influencers and wannabe celebrities (the spiders) who are singularly committed to attaining their goals, no matter the cost.
Always one to wax poetic on the (sometimes not so gradual) downfall of civilized society, Issac reminds us two things in this new classic, 1- this is humanistic statement, not a political statement.
"I don't care for politics and it doesn't care for me."
And 2- Spiders eat flies.
