Discover the story of the song > SPIDER WEB – Melanie Martinez

The protagonist is comparing herself to a moth or butterfly, always seeking change. She watches others go through life's cycle and thinks it's better to be dead than stuck in a maze. She feels like she's hiding from the enemy and doesn't want to be noticed. The chorus talks about how people spin their own webs and feed off others, and once you're in it, you can't leave. The outro describes how some people get trapped in the web and become addicted to it, ultimately ending up lifeless.
