Spiders

For now, Spiders by System of a Down is my favourite piece of music - an alternative rock.

I first heard it over an animation student using the music for his work "Darkened", really love it. I like the visuals, camera angles employ in the film. The story gives a surprise element- giving a false illusion.

I interpret the creatures were the beasts in the character. He thought he might have killed the girl, but in reality, it was the beast in him that killed himself and the girl. This is the link of the animation.

The song also reminds me of the robotic "spiders" in Minority Report that can search a building in minutes by performing a retinal scan on everyone, acting like surveillance devices and agents.

Lyrics as follows :
Spiders
The piercing radiant moon,
The storming of poor June,
All the life running through her hair,
Approaching guiding light,
Our shallow years in fright,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,
Before you know, Awake,
Your lives are open wide,
The V-chip gives them sight,
All the life running through her hair,
The spiders all in tune,
The evening of the moon,
Dreams are made winding through my head,
Through my head,Before you know,
Awake
(SOLO)
Through my head,Before you know,
Before you know I will be waiting all awake,
Dreams are made winding through her hair,
Dreams are made winding through her hair.

The music is haunting, ominous, and sad.

A spider in this song is a symbol for computer chips (the V-chip). The chip on the cover of the single looks vaguely similar to a spider (small, black, many legs).

"Your dreams are no longer sacred, as they are subject to a process known as remote viewing." (Your lives are open wide. The V-chip gives them sight...Of all the life running through her hair).

Spiders could be expressing fears that the government is using modern technology to watch the activities of its citizens.

Note : V-chip is a generic term used for a feature of television receivers allowing the blocking of programs based on their ratings category. It is intended for use by parents to manage their children's television viewing.
